Temperance Is a cardinal virtue. "
said DIR. McGlynn at Burlington last
week, mot only commended by our
Saviour, but by the wise men of ali ages,
1t is natural virtue, the essence of
which is the self control by which man
or woman acknowledges the better part
oil their nature. There is In man an an
gel tied TO the brute; he pos,e the
stamp divine and yet has also passions
and appetites common with the brute,
and continually is going on a battle be-
tween, as st. Paul puts it, the spiritual
and the animal man, and the man is not
worthy the name who does not give alb
solute ascendency to this higher nature.
And here lies the idea OF the necessity
OF the virtue OF temperance.
and while the virtue should be praoticed
in all things, in eating and recreation, il
is OF permanent importance in the use
OF intoxicating drink. II Is a fact Of
common observation that intemperance
in drink is the cause of most of the
crime and evil in the world and INJURIES
not alone the temporal but affects the
eternal interests Of many. Therefore.
should all men who love their kind and
their God be earnest in this matter of
