MIR. cUTCHEON TALKS TEMPERANCE.
He Makes an Earnest Plea in Behalf
of Total Abstinence.

Representative Cutcheon of Michigan
delivered an address last night at the
Western Presbyterian Church to large
and attentive audience. Without gloves
the Congressman handled social customs
and regarded many of them as directly
responsible for drunkenness. Temper
ancc and religion, from his stand, are one
and the same.
He had never yet found the time when
he could not conscientiously advocate
total abstinence. Temperance societies
had no doubt accomplished vast amount
of good, he believed, and the church pre-
sentcd the only safe avenue of escape. II
required great deal of moral courage for
an inebriate of years standing to break
off from the drinking habit. In the re-
ligion of Christ absolute safety only could
he found. During the coming Christmas
season men and women would he tempted
and many would drift into lives of sin.
Washington is the worst wine drinking
city in the country he declared. The
hope of the temperance cause was with
the boys and girls, and, believing this, his
bill providing for temperance instructions
in the public schools of the District had
been Introduced. Mr.. Cutcheon closed
his address with an appeal to the children
to be total abstainers.
