Spirit of the age. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1849-1865, 1857-12-23
On the Spirit Of the Age.

We feel some delicacy in abiding to the
Report Of the Committee on our Paper. But
so, we hope to be excused.
First, then, we say, read the Appeal the
Committee makes, and then resolve to go to
work and get some subscribers for the paper.
If all the friends of Temperance, and the
friends OF tie paper, would give us their aid
and support, by subscribing themselves and
getting as many others to do so as they can,
we should not have to make such appeals to
sustain the paper. We hope, however, now,
that the appeal made by the Committee will
be promptly and generously acted upon, and
that our list will be swelled by thousands of
new names. Christmas and new year are.
good times to operate in.

~ What about that gallon of whiskey
which made all the hands sick at a certain
corn husking some time since? What was
put in the jug, and ~ho put it there? These
are important questions, and correct answers
are earnestly solicited to the same, especially
by the hands who had to do all the vomiting
more especially by those who had the win
men folks to heat plates and dishes to place
over the region of the stomach to ease the
cramps; and most especially.by the chap who,
in the midst Of his distress, cried out. "Obl
| know my nanny could do something for
me, if she was only herep Until these i'm
portant questions are satisfactorily answered.
let those interested abstain from all beyer-
ages about husking time, and ike occasions.
lest somebody fail to enjoy the comfortable
supper the good woman of the house hath
prepared. This may be a riddle to some.
while it is plain as a pump handle to others.

The introduction of the Colporteur system
into the Temperance cause, as recommended
by the committee on Publications. (see first
page of this paper strikes us as one of the
highest consideration. The plan has been
tested by the American Tract Society, and it
has proven the greatest agency for accom-
plishing good to the destitute and unenlight-
ened-for scattering the seeds of truth along
the hedges and by-ways of society, andi in the
huts and humble homes of poverty and OBJ
scurity-and for exciting a lively interest, on
the part of the intelligent and wealthy, for the
benighted. Immense, incalculable is the
amount Of good done by this means.
We believe the greatest results may be
achieved, through this agency, to the Temper
ance cause. BY the exertion of active, labo-
rious men, devoted to the work of saving their
fellows from evils of intemperance, we believe
a good can be accomplished second only to
the great work of saving the souls of our fell
tlow-creatures. Each Division or neighbor-
hood can provide its own Colporteur, who shall
take the tracts and books furnished him, go
), out into the community, and sell such as he
can dispose of at the lowest rates, give others
away, and as occasion may offer, lecture up
Ssubiect; and by tbis means keep up 9
permanentand abru1ng fhrerest IN Tne~-
perance cause in every community.
- This plan of operations, it is believed, vii
prove far more effective than that of travelling
Lecturers. The excitement they produce,
was too often ephemeral-suddenly gotten u
and as suddenly notwithstanding very Ii
tie of permanent and solid impression. B
this plan, the work will be gradual, but rad
-, cal and its influence, instead of diminishin
IN will spread and enlarge, until the whole cor
= munity will feel its power.
70 The plan is to make this a selfsupportir
~ feature of our operations, by taking twent
five per cent. of the dues from Subordina
Divisions to purchase the books, tracts, 81
which, added to the sales of such books as t
Colporteurs may thus dispose of, will Ike
up a supply, although a large number
given away. We believe, too, that many
our philanthropic fellow citizens will gen
ously contribute, in every county, towar
keeping such a laborer in the field; and
80 this means we expect to keep Colporte'
40 constantly employed.
By this system, every Section of our Or,
- will be served. By the Travelling Lectu
WIN system, many Divisions that contributed
lope orally, never saw the Lecturer by this
con- will get their share of the books and can
ploy their own Colporteurs.
With these hurried remarks, we comm,
5 US the plan to the favorable consideration of
ed of our friends.
