Vice President Wilson ON Temper-
ance.

HIS SPEECH AT TEMPERANCE COMMEND
ED AND INTEMpERANcE DENOUNCED.
Before the National Temperance Association,
in session at Chicago, Vice President Wilson
made temperance speech. He said:
Forty years of experience and observation
have taught me that the greatest evil of our
country-next, at any rate, to the one that has
gone down in fire and blood to rise no more, ia
the evil of intemperance. Every days expert
ence, every hour of reflection teaches me that
it is the duty of patriotism, the duty of human-
ity, the duty OF Christianity to live Christian
lives, and to exert a temperance influence among
the people. There time when L WAS
younger than l am now, when hoped to live
long enough to see the cause which my heart
loves and my judgment approves stronger than
it is to day. l may be mistaken. gentlemen, but
it seems to me that the present is a rather dark
and troubled night for that cause and it is
because it 70 seems to me that i believe it
to be the duty of every honest, conscientious,
sef-Bacrihcng man of our country to speak and
to work for the cause in every legitimate and
proper way ;and my reliance for the advance
ment Of tho cause OF temperance is the same
reliance which have for the spread of the
gospel Of our Divine Lord and Master. We have
got to rely ON appeals and addresses made to
the heart of this nation, to the conscience OF
tho people, and the reason Of tho country. We
have got to train up our children in the cause
from infancy. We must teach it in the schools
and everywhere by word, and above all by OK
ample, and, 1t seems TO me thau Cnrlstlau Wln-
isters, in this dark hour of our country, when
they see so much intemperance and what looks
to come of lis like a reaction. should make the
voice of the pupits of this land heard. Members
of Christian churches houldremember that they
have something to do in this Cause If anything
stands in the way of Christianity it is tho drunk
enness in our land. word of temperance .at
this time il the strongest blow against the king.
dom of Satan, and for the cause of our Lord and
Master suppose you have been disappointed.
l suppose that many Of your views have failed,
but we know that we are right We personally
feel and see it the evidence is around and
about lis that We cannot be mistaken in living
total abstinence lives and recommending such
course to our neighbors. When it costs some-
thing to stand by the temperance cause, then is
the hour to stand by it. II could be heard to-
day by the people Of the land, by the patriotic
young men of this country, full of life. vigor
and hope, would say that it is among the first,
tho highest, and grandest duties which the
country, God, and the love of humanity imposes,
to work fer the cause of total abstinence.
