REPORT or TEMPERANCE COM
W/7'7EE OF Y. M C. 4.

1.-THE following report, presented and adopted
at the last regular meeting Of the " NJ. {. A.,
Nov. 10th, was ordered printed, and the me.
mortal subioined to be presented to the King
and Privy Council
The special subject referred to US for consid-
Grafton, and report at this time is the question,
what lines Of work can we take up now, OF
follow up, in promoting the cause Of Temper.
ancel
This question is one Of vital and pressing i'm.
portance Many of our young men in our
highest social circle il is said, have already
formed the hab, Of tipping. There have
been several instances reported Of intoxication
at social parties and in the public streets. Such
advice as has been given from some pulpits to
young men, "to use the good things Of this
life without abusing them, OF Ito lie, ones mo.
deration be known Of all men, affords license
and encouragement to those who need rather
warning and restraint. The Church Of Christ
must hold up the high standard Of precept and
practice We have had given to us in the teach
ngs and example Of the Lord Jesus. And
our Y. NJ. c. A. cannot take any lower stan.
dard, or show to social evils any compromising
spirit unwarranted by Christ's life and works.
The protested disciples Of Christ must be
united, heart and hand, il any successful effort
is to be made to combat this hydraheaded
monster of intemperance. We rejoice that
any Of our English friends are moving in the
right direction. We shall rejoice still more
when all their Ministers and all their congre-
cations, shall by precept and example incul.
cate the Christian duty Of total abstinence
from all that can intoxicate.
We must do all that We can individually and
as an Association to awaken and foster a
healthy public sentiment. The press has been
and will be, Of great service. Much can be
done by the circulation OF Temperance litera.

Y. NJ. c. A. should be given to the work un.
dertaken BY 1.-THE Committee OF tweniy-one. y
Frequent public meetings are needed to keep
the subject prominently and persis,en,ly before
the public. The development Of public senti-
meni is matter Of slow growth. There is a
power in growing tree to rend rock, but ii
takes years to do il. The power Of living
growth is no, the explosive force Of charge

recommend as one means Of showing the in

among others the Union School, with princi.

the land in the region of those hills, as far

claimed and made habn ioa to cattle of all
kinds. Another specimen Of court ruling has
been reported, thusly: Two natives bought
bottle of liquor from Chnaman, paid him for
it, and took it Immediately to the deputy
sheriff and produced their witnesses in court !;
yet the Chinaman was released. As the Judge
was heard to say repeatedly to the Chinaman,
"lf you lose your case you will be fined $500"
the presumption is that it was meant for a hint
and that the Chinaman took it, and warmed
the judges palm with something that perverted
justice; but this may be only presumption.

The following is copy Of the memorial pre-
sented TO the King and Privy Council:
awe have been instructed by the Young
Mems Christian Association to present to your
Honorable Body the following statement and
petition:
Ever since the new liquor law went into
operation it has been increasingly manifest that
its effects are harmful. Wages have been
spent for drink instead Of the necessaries of
life. Families have been left destitute of food,
and wives have walled in hitter grief before
liquor saloons where their husbands were vast
ing in drunken riot the money that was needed
to purchase the necessaries of life. Employers
have been embarrassed IN their business be-
cause those on whose labor they depended
were untitled by intoxicaton for the work they
were paid to do. The law has utterly failed
to repress the secret illegal sales by Chinese
and Others. The vilest compounds are sold,
and the deleterious effects of alcoholic liquors
are multiplied by the authorizations palmed off
as gin and whiskey and brandy. Crimes com.
mitted under the influence Of liquor are on the
increase, and poverty is clutching in its grip
the fast fading native race, succumbing also
more quickly even than before to the attacks
of disease on bodies enfeebled by drink. Young
men who ought to be fitting themselves for
places of responsibility and usefulness, are
constantly being tempted to waste their time
and energies, and forfeit their opportunity for
acquiring skill in their occupation, or accumu-
lating property for future profitable business
ventures, by indulgence in the liquor saloon.
We do therefore respectfully petition your
Honorable Body, in view Of these evident and
acknowledged evils, arising from the sale Of
alcoholic beverages, that you withhold your
sanction from any additional licences for the
sale. A. PRATT, President,
w. J. BOWEN, Secretary;

Of Christian work, j. similar to that properly
expected u the Church Of Christ. The sphere
Of the Church, is more comprehensive than
that of any Temperance Society. And our
main object, helping young men TO a vigorous
and manly social Christian life requires of W.
/ that the reformation Of the incorporate should
be regarded as one NJ the incidental and sub
sidiafy object of our Association. We, in the
| opinion of our Committee one OF the most
bcnedcem and Christ.likc enterprises in which
this Y. NJ c. \. has engaged has been 1.-THE
Saturday Evening Gospel Temperance Meet.
ing. Here have been over sixty cases Of re-.
formation during the fourteen months in which
this meeting has been held, and only four Of
those who have signed the special pledge and
roll, have gone back again to liquor drinking.
All the member, Of this Association should
feel Especial interest in the succcss Of thi,
meeting. We may not all be able to take an
active part ourselves in that meeting, but we
can show some apprcciative sympathy for the
brother, who has been the head and front, the
backbone and the right hand Of that meeting.
We ought also to replenish "thc Relief Fund,
which under MI Aldridge'i pruden, manage.
ment has proved Of such service to many
one in need.
Your Committee are Of the opinion that it
is not desirable for this Association to assume
any responsibility as an organization in efforts
that may properly be made to suppress intcm.
pcrance by enforcing the laws. The new
liquor law has proved itself a curse let loose
upon the people Of Honolulu. Your Commit
tee are Of the opinion that prohibition Is the |
short and simple cure, which government must
ultimately adopt, TO stop the ravagcs of intem.
perance, as total abstinence is the short and
simple way Of safety for the individual We
never can be free from the burdens entaled by |
intemperance until there shall have been en-. |
acted clear and clean Prohbitory Law. |
yet II effort is wisely made to enforce the |
Civil Damage Act, for instance, the expert. |
mcnt Is worth trying, and worthy of the sup. |
port Of members Of this Association.
The new liquor law is so false in principal |
and so faulty in construction, that those on |
whom rests the responsibility for this piece of |
legislation, and whose boast il was that they |
would make liquor free, may well hesitate to |
extend its baneful influence to other districts. |
As an Association we may properly attempt to
influence legislation by petition to the Privy
Council to refuse licenses. The petitions, pre-.
pared and presented by this Association two
years ago, were instrumental in securing the
veto of the law passed at that session. Your
Committee submit herewith the draft of me-
mortal which they recommend should be
adopted and forwarded Immediately. The
Psamist pertnently inquiries OF Jehovah, "shall
the throne Of iniquity have fellowship with
Thee, which formeth mischief by lawa" We
believe we are in fellowship with God, follow.
ing out the line Of His purposes in every legt.
mate effort we may put forth to destroy the
demon OF intemperance, or TO limit his power
for evil.
