The Temperance Reformation is a great
enterprise, peculiar to the age in which we
live, and was commenced in the year 1900
in this country, by the now venerable Dr.
Lyman Beecher, at present a resident Of
Cincinnati.
This gentleman had witnessed the dread
full ravages made by Intemperance, and
called the attention of his countrymen to
this momentous subject at that early day,
and is now, after lapse of forty-ive years
still engaged in this great moral reforma-
ton.
The first Temperance Association we
have any account of, was formed in 1911,
in Massachusetts.
In the year 1926, Caldwallader d. Col
den, gentleman of New York, who had
been Mayor of that city, while in the dis
charge of his duty as chief magistrate, wit
messed the immolation Of hundreds of his
fellow beings by intemperance, called up
on fathers to assist him in checking this
widespread and growing evil, and the re-
suit was the formation Of a Temperance
Society. The Temperance Reformation
commenced in England about fifteen years
ago. Father Matthew, the Apostle OF
Temperance, commenced the reformation
in Ireland in the year 1888, and according
to statistical report made by him recent
w, fpe million fire hundred thousand have
taken the pledge on that Island,
The Temperance Reformation is now
Aourishing in Scotland.
A Temperance Society was first formed
BY an American Clergyman in Sweden
The late King Bernadotte, was one Of its
patrons, and by scrawl of his official pen
suppressed several thousand distilleries
which, up to that time, had been govern
ment monopoly. The present King Oscar
was, previously to his elevation to the
throne, the President Of Temperance So
ce,y. Temperance prevails in Prussia
under the auspices Of the King and Govern
ment. In Germany there are now sever

The Washiugtonian Reformation was
commenced by six men in the city of Bal
timore, in the year 1910. They adopted
the principle of Total Abstinence from all
intoxicating drinks. The author of the
Pledge is VIM. r. Mitchell, merchant
tailor of the above city. His coadjutors
in the good work were David Anderson,
George Steers, VIM. Curly, and two whose
names are not remembered.
The first signer of the Pledge was Da-
vid Anderson, blacksmith. From this
small beginning, see what results. There
are now ten thousand associations, embra-
cling States, Territories, Cities, Towns, Viii
ages and Hamlets, from the ST. Johns river
to the Rio Del Norte, and from the Allan
tic to the Pacific Ocean, with four millions

that this great enterprise, designed for the

country, has already spread its benign in
fuence over portions of Asia, Africa, Eu-

it will achieve will be peaceful, and all the
advantages accruing must rebound to the
honor of civilization, humanity, and virtue.
