We call upon the pastors to in.
duce any of their focks who may
be engaged in the sale of liquors to
abandon as soon as they~can the
dangerous traffic, and to embrace a
more becoming way of making a
living.-The Third Plenary Coun-
Gil, Baltimore, 1885. 3
We urge Catholics everywhere
to get out and keep out of the sa-
loon business. Congress of Cath
olic Laymen, Chicago, 1898.
Let pastors, therefore, do their
best to drive the plague of intern
perance from the fold of Christ by
assiduous preaching and exhorta-
ton, and to shine before all as
models Of abstenance, that so the
many calamities with which this
vice threatens both Church and
State may, by their strenuous en-
beavers, be averted. Pope Leo
VIII, March 81, 1887.
Sir William Muir, who is a stern
critic of Islum, asserts that s'Ma-
hometanism may boast of a degree
of temperance unknown to any
other creed. The Mahammedan
faith number at least 240, 900
human beings, amongst whom
drunkenness is almost unknown -
Very states that the Sultan of
Turkey is an abstainer, and the
ruler of Morocco and his suite are
also abstinents.
All Christian churches are, try
ing to free mankind from the
snares of intemperance. Mothers
teach their children the evils of in
temperance and in every State in
the union save Georgia, temper
ance is taught in schools, vet on
marches King Alcohol with his
army, filling drunkard's graves
every five minutes in our free
America. E
