Father Temples Words.
Father Temple in his address said in
part:
"The temperance movement, If Il Is
to endure. must stand on sound reason,
and the fact of continually pointing out
the effect of drink on man only
causes people to become tired. / was
coming along Market street this ever
ing and noticed the lights in the vari-
Gus places Of amusement along Market
street and I also noticed a sign for
Brighter Wilmington If we could
only put brighter lights in the heads
of people we would have a greater and
better people. The temperance people
should not only learn the effect Of
drink but should learn the cause of
drink. The Street ana Sewer Depart
ment should provide fairgrounds and
parks in order that the workingman
might get some enjoyment from life
without going 10 the saloon.
1T IS a penance TO lie. sometimes,
to go into the small houses. owned by
people who would not allow man a
drink. but who give him a howell a
place from which the nan is only 700
glad to escape and secure a drink u
beer. Many of these novels are owned
by temperance people. Father Temple
referred face tiously to the Water De-
partment as being allied with the tenn
perance movement. and he suggested
there should be a greater water shed
purchased along the Brandywine which
could supply the people of Wilmington
with wholesome water without resort
inc to filters.
Addresses were also made by the
Rev Thomas P. Hollis oway, the Rev.
G. c. williams. of Epworth NJ. E
Church; Professor Harter. president Of
Delaware College, and the Rev. John
NJ. Arters.
