IN CAUSE OF TEMPERANCE.
Meeting Last Night Of Catholic Total
Abstinence Society.

At the regular weekly meeting of the
Catholic Total Abstinence Society held last
evening in Good Samaritan Hall, Mr. Nc
Manus presided and explained that the alb
sence of Mr.. Downey and other officers was
due to the quarterly meeting of the General
Council of ST. Vincent De Paul, and that
the sixty-ninth Father Mathew lanniver-
sary celebration was postponed for the
same reason to Sunday. April 81, when a
program will be given which will include
addresses from eminent temperance speak
ers. appropriate recitations and a choice Sc
lection OF vocal and instrumental music.
He dwelt on the Importance of furnishing
attractive features for all temperance gath
erings to replace the home comforts OFTEN
sacrificed for attendance. He made some
practical remarks on the question of tenn
perance. expanding on the sense of self
respect that should actuate patrons of sa-
looms to realize that professions of friend
ship originating in saloons are merely SUI
perficial and inspired by selfish motives OF
the saloon propretors. DR.. Medallion was
introduced and explained from medical
standpoint the distinction between habit
and disease and said that instead of giving
the victim of drink sympathy and medical
treatment some thoughtless people advo-
Gated punishment. He denounced the theory
of punishment as cure for drink and said:
You may well growl at the wind for
blowing or the fire for burning as attempt
to reform or even reason with man under
N.
thorties grasp the Idea that intemperance
is disease The better for the welfare of
the community. Give the drinking man
word of sympathy, clothe him if he needs
clothing. feed him if he is hungry, then you
have touched his heart and can begin to
reason with him, but don't punish him and
expect to reform him in that way for you
then make him infinitely worse
Mr.. Mckeown, on invitation to speak, d.
rected his remarks to steering clear of
things which experience has told him are
injurious. and particularly emphasized the
dreadful responsibility resting on those who
hold out the illuring glass to those whose
ruin it will ultimately effect.
Oar consciences said Mr.. Mckeown,
ARE open books to ourselves. though others
and it hehoovcs to look into lives
ccasionally and study ourselves. The sense
of knowledge obtained will guide us to
avoid the false friends that may have led
us from the paths of sobriety and ,ecent
citizenship and to steer clear of the rock
on which we have been morally ship
wrecked. When ship founders, public in
dignation is aroused and all efforts of
civilization resorted to in order to prevent
a repetition of the catastrophe. So it
should be with us. Let erect light
house of total abstinence to help us direct
our bark in the proper course, to avoid the
occasions of sin and temptation and keep
away from the things that have injured u.s.
Mr.. Lorson spoke on the necessity and
Importance of unfolding the work Of tenn
perance societies

York city in the last campaign. The sub
ject of his address was Some Aspects Of

This he supplemented by denunciation
of the giving of campaign funds by corpo-
ratons-or by anybody. but dwelling par
ticularly on. OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES he said
the great masses of the population never
contributed anything but votes. He In
sisted that the great business concerns are
too shrewd to contribute money or to invest
in a campaign unless they see the fruit of
their investments, which they generally do
After the speech a number of questions
were answered by the lecturer.
