An Appeal for Temperance.
TCommuuicatadf

We are aware that this subject which
has received much agitation, and will bear
much more it is one that should command
the liveliest sympathy, and aid, from all
true temperance men, and women, who
would effectually contend with this giant
evil, intemperance, that is running riot
over our land.
The history of thousands admonishes us
to he up and d. ing And now we would ask,
in all candor, are the people Of this village
doing their duty, in thus remaining indi:
ierent, while this fearful curse is gaining a
stronger foothold each day? Are they
using their utmost endeavors to promote
the interest of this cause? If we were to
Judge from the attendance of the Temper
ance Society, we should be compelled to
ans wer intellectually no.
We appeal to you as to they who must
give an account Of their stewardship, and
dare you appear before that Judge with the
tlimsy excuse Of Cain! Gam my brothers
keepers" I repeat, are you doing your
duty, in thus standing idly by, with folded
hands, and not make one effort to stem
the tide of intemperance Where is the
spirit of our Fathers9 They rendered up
their lives to obtain Liberty; and we are
struggling for the liberty of those who are in
bondage, under the coils of king alcohol
Is our warfarelless noble than theirs were
If not, to what can we attribute the indif-
ference displayed?
We very often hear the remark 81 think
this village is able to support temperance
organization Oh! yes, so it is my friend;
but if each one made this observation and
then composed!y fold their arms, and wait
resu,ts-hattering themselves that they
had performed their duty, what would
be accomplished nothing! lntemperance
would still flourish. Our Offices would be
filled by moderate drinkers: and what are
these sots in the end.
We appeal to all the professors of reli-
gion in this place, w hat do TIE more than
others? Are you exerting your influence
to aid in crushing this monster evil-put-
ting your hand to the pillow to forward the
work? or are you too much engrossed i'll
other affairs to give attention to the evils
arising from the demon drinka
We ask you once more, will you assist u:
in our endeavors to crush the dark-dealins
power Of the win-ecup, or will you remain
inactive, and allow it to be said, to the
discredit of Redwood Falls, that it cannot
support Temperance Society,"
