THE TEMPERANCE PLEDGE.

Liz 4EAlI L1kAVSE 1LEDOEb
The simple fact, that in the history of the
world it has been found necessary to resort to
a Pledge" to induce men to abjure the intox-
icating cup, is the strongest evidence of the al
most r~esistless sway which strong drink exerci-
ses over its victims. A mans honor is the
strongest tie by which you can bind him. 1t
is mans confidence in man, that forms the
strong cord that binds him to his fellow, to his
State, and his nation. This is the cord by
which we bind him, when he voluntarily pledg-
es himself TO abstain from all intoxicating IL
quors. The power of the pledge has been
tried, and hundreds and thousands, scattered
through every village, city and hamlet Of our
land, can testify upon authority of personal ex-
perience, Of its efficacy as a means of reform.
But, says the objector, some persons who have
taken the pledge, have afterwards fallen. So
some persons who have professed religion have
apostatized but does that prove that religion.
is not the remedy for yice2 Persons who have
used the most efficient medicines for the cure
of disease have died, but does that prove there
is no efficacy in the healing art?
But the very requirements of the pledge, is
positive evidence that, if not violated, it must
prove an infaible remedy to intemperance.-
The pledge prohibits the making, vending and
using as a beverage, all Intoxicating, or malt
liquors, wine or cider. Now, it is evident that
if there is none made, sold or used, there can
be no intemperance. We know that the ma
king, vending and using spirituous liquors, are
fruitful causes of intemperance. Our pledge,
by its extensive and solemn prohibition, re-
moves all these causes at once; hence, if kept
inviolable, it must prove an efficient remedy.
Man is naturally a social being. He was crea-
ted for social enjoyment, hence, society is ne
cessary to his happiness. And, it is so essenti-
ally necessary, that he must have it. If he
cannot have good society, he prefers bad society
to none at all and ifhe cannot have temperate
associates, he will associate with the Incorporate
rather thar be cut off from all social intercourse.
Thus, men are often driven to form intemper-
ate associations, which surround them by cir.
cumstances, in which all the power of the social
influence is brought to bear against temperance
principles. The social is glass introduced, ovel
which the Incorporate so often enjoy the
:" feast o reason and the flow ofsoul I" and they
are urged to partake by every argument tina
| can reach and influence social beings.
As a society, we use the social principle tC
counterfeit the deleterious influence of intern
perance. We offer to all who wish to be tenn
, perate men, a social circle, free from its rava
1 ges-a society, where the social glass and flow
: ing bowl is not introduced as necessary to ou
enjoyment. And, as members OF the sam,
e temperate brotherhood, we strengthen, encour
age and build each other up, by our converse
ton, intercourse, influence and example.
