Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Address on the Temperance Cause and the Best Methods of Its Advancement These three methods should go together. Full success cannot be Obtained without their united action. But, unquestionably, the first is the most important, not only as the rightful beginning, but in the progress of all our endeavors. I speak with absolute confidence, when I say that total abstinence is the only assured course of safety for ourselves and our families. I do not care how strong we may be, or how confirmed in habits of moder ation, or how fixed in religious or moral principle, we are not perfectly safe while the use of intoxicants as a beverage continues. I have seen all safeguards and barriers and resolutions and bonds give way, time and time again. I can show you graves which neither religion, nor morality, nor self-interest, nor self-respect, nor love of kindred, could prevent from being the drunkard's resting place. I can Show you, this day, men of intelligence, of good sense, of extended influence, of wealth, living in homes of refinement, surrounded by lov ing and faithful friends, in positions of trust and honor - ou the bench, at the bar, in the command of armies, in the council chamber, at the merchant's desk, in the mechanic's work-shop, in the office of the editor, in the pulpit itself where righteousness, temperance and judg ment to come are preached, in the halls of Congress, in the National Cabinet and in the Presidential Mansion - in all places of honor and usefulness have I seen men walking with unsteady steps, speaking with ill-considered words, and with all the marks of unmanliness that dis grace the foolish ones who put an enemy in their mouths to steal away their brains. And yet, not one of them all but could remember the time when he was perfectly safe, quite able to control himself, able to use his liberty without abusing it. Alas, there is in the intoxicating cup a mysterious power, which overcomes all resolutions, and with which no wise man will trifle. Flee from it as from the face of a serpent, for if thou comest too near it, it will bite thee; the teeth thereof are as the teeth of a lion, slaying the souls Of men.

'still every man, who is accustomed to think for himself, is naturally attracted to particular views or points in the most familiar subject; and, by concentrating his thoughts on these, he sometimes succeeds in giving them a new prominence, in vindicating their just'rank, and in securing to them an attention, which they may not have received, but which is their due.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Addresses The Council of the Massachusetts Temperance Society deem it of great importance to reprint, for general circulation, the following excellent Address on the Drinking-Usages of Society, by the eminent divine and philanthropist, Bishop Potter, so well known, not only in this city, but throughout the Union. It was delivered in a sister State, before a large and highly cultivated audience, - a portion of the community supposed by many to be free from the dangers which assail the poor and the imperfectly educated. In this Address, the Bishop has conclusively, and in the most beautiful and fervid language, proved, that, in consequence of the deference paid by the rest of the community to the opinions and practices of the higher classes, the habit of self indulgence among the latter has such a baneful influence as greatly to retard the progress of the Temperance Reform. The Appeal to the Clergy of the Church of England in favor of Total Abstinence commends itself to the prayerful consideration of every member of the Church of Christ. When we consider the immense influence of the ministers of the gospel among all classes of men, there is no doubt, that, were they generally to give this movement the aid of their example, a power would go forth against the mighty evils of intemperance, which would make itself felt throughout the world, and cheer and encourage the heart of all those who love their fellow-man.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A New View of the Temperance Question The remedy proposed in the following pages for the evils of intemperance may not appear, at first sight, to be specific enough as a basis for practical reform. Men of one idea, it is said, rule the world, though, like rays of the sun focused under a glass, they often end by setting the community into a blaze. We may lose in intensity what we gain in breadth. On the other hand, a good cause may be poised on so narrow a base as to become, to all intents and purposes, . A positive evil.
