The Temperance Cause.

TEx REASONS. excellent definition Of
temperance was given many years ago, viz:
"The moderate use of things useful, and to-
tai abstinence from those which are perni-
cious, and should be entirely avoided as
beverage. Here are ten arguments for this
principle which we we will let speak for
themselves.
l. They are unnecessary, as the experience
of all who have tried it proves.
2. They are poisonous, and hence, deadly;
and therefore their common use, is a viola
tion of nature and moral law.
3. Total abstinence is conductive to health
and long life.
4. The moderate use Of intoxicating drinks
as beverage leads in most cases to drunk
eness and crime. All drunksrds were once
moderate drinkers.
lntemperance is annually carrying away,
as with flood, its thousands into drunk.
ards grave.
6. 1t has entered largely within the pale Of
the Church. Observation teaches that many
church-members are suspended on this ac-
count. And how many professors of religion
encourage by their influence the manufacture,
the sale, and the Use .ef Intoxicating liquors
as beverage.
Z. No dpunkard. shall enter into the king
dom of heaven, and without total abstinence,
there is little safety for most men.
8. Wonderful success has attended the
application of this piaaciple In 1926 its re-
forming power most manifest; and as
preventive of the crime of drunkenness if
is more potent.
0. Itisa principle sanctioned by the WORD
of God. Read Daniel j. SIG; Roman xiv
1921; and l Cor viii 13.
10. Our last General Synod recommended
our ministers and eldors, each IN his oWE
sphere, and with such ability as all may be
able to exert to bring the.pOwer of the Cos
pei to bear against this giant evil and with
an earnestness proportioned TO the magni.
tude, and the tenacious hold il has taken on
the community
Should not every friend OF, the Church OF
Christ and of humanity awake to a new in
terest in seeking to stay the tide of this de-
stroyer OF the bodies and souls Of our fellow
men Let the ministry bring the subject OF
temperance by the side ofother gospel themes
