Temperance.


MEssRs. EDIToRs: 1t is we'll that you give
q little space Of your valuable paper to the
discussion of so important 4 subject as that OF
Temperance; for your readers are not few OF
those whoarc actively identified with this move.
It is the presumption that the Press is on
the side Of moral reform and the use Of means
10 improve the community in which it clrcu-
lates. It is in fact one Of the guardians of the
morals Of the People and gives warning OF that
which is baneful in its effects
The Temperance movement is closely allied
with Christianity, being helper and promoter
fit. It seeks to elevate the physical, social,
mental and spiritual parts Of men, all Of which
intemperance blurs and degrades. So great is
the evil sought to be overcome, its advocates
should be very careful as to the means and in
strumentalities employed. As was said by the
great Apostle of Christianity, so it may be said
Of the Temperance work, " its weapons are not
carnal." Coercion does not belong its forces.
Personal inrectice is not becoming its advo-
Gates. AbHe and stigma fail to reach the OBJ
iects sought Evaporation and T1dicae only
incense the parties involved. Commonplace
aReciote may amuse for the time but are only
superficial in their influence. In some States
the stroRq arm Of the lao has been invoked in
its behalf but the results have proved inauspi-
cious.. The muddy 1caters q politics have been
daLbied 10, but the cause in its purity has been
furnished.
An appeal to reason stands first in its cata-
logue Of impcments. This entire plea with its
weight Of argument and cosent thought Is on
the side of Temperance Moral suasioR with
IFS vast motive power, admitting the most
touching and passionate appeals. a Summa-
rv Of facts that present a solid array of truths
touching the present interest and future we'll
being Of the individual. The heart Of the true
and earnest worker in this cause has as his
great influential and driving power torc-.iust
such as the Son of God was moved by in His
mission 10 our world Just such rs the christian
feels in his pity Of heart 20 his fellows in sin.
This feeling prompts its posscssor to look upon
his fellow man in his most degraded condition
and whisper in lis car words of hope and good;
10 see through the crust of misery in which IN
ebriation has cncascd him the vcritable man
for q that, and to seek his redemption from
the worst Of foes These are the principles and
feelings to be piled with every hope Of success
10y the votaries Of Temperance. The prospect
is very encouraging in our good old county
The temperance men gre cnsconccd IN their
citaicls. in its chief towns and villages, from
which they make their weekly and monthly
sortics upon the ranks Of the enemy. Let
them have faith in their cause use vigorously
their weapons al FURNISHED and bright, and
with Gods blessing, which is always with the
good and true, they must win.
