Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Rational Temperance Are, then, the men, - and especially the ministers of religion, who try to maintain such a position as this, to be silent on the great question of the Temperance Reform, because forsooth they may be denounced by extremists, or misunderstood by the un thinking, or misrepresented by the unsern pulous? For one, I know of but one rule for my utterances, -to speak the truth which has first been earned by the sweat of the brain and the hard toil oi' the mind; to speak that truth in perfect love, but without a particle of fear. Even if by so doing, friends are alienated and enemies multi plied, I can choose no other course. To the truth alone, in its simple, naked unexag gerated beauty, I stand pledged. Let us then seek to raise the vexed question that is before us to the serene heights of a calm analysis, an unbiassed inquiry, and, if possi ble, a rational solution.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Winning the Fight Against Drink: The History, Development, Rational Basis; Moral, Financial, Economic, and Scientific Appeal of the Temperance Reform, in Which Every Phase of the Subject Is Fully Considered A century of the Temperance Reform has given birth to quite an extensive literature upon that subject. Almost every feature of the great movement has been exhaustively treated by eminent students, and this literature is the just pride of all friends of the great Reform. However, as the cause has advanced and the minds of men have grown, the best treatises have had to be revised or replaced by other and better expositions of the principles upon which the movement is founded. In this book I have striven to record the progress of the movement and to utter the latest word which the Reform has to offer; but I dare not presume to write the last word upon a movement so full of life and growth as this cause has shown in every stage since its birth. It is not wholly unlike the popular sciences, of which, if one desires to keep abreast, he can not afford to wait for regular treatises, but must ever seek record of the newest discovery or theory in the daily end monthly publications.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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. Who could have anticipated that the greatest philanthropic enterprise of this age would con cern itself with what men drink and give no attention to the subject of food?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Address Before the Putney Temperance Society: Delivered July 3, 1835 What is Temperance We answer - it is Abstinence from every indulgence and pursuit that does not contribute to the rational happiness of man. Thus Abstinence, with certain limitations, is the duty, the rational happiness of man, the guide to its perform ance. I take the precaution to say rational happiness, for when a man can derive happiness, or any thing in nature allied to it, from pursuits that reason does not sanction, it argues degradation and depravity, and from depravity and degradation we cannot draw maxims of conduct.

Download or read book The Catholic Temperance Reader Classic Reprint written by W. H. Cologan and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-20 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Catholic Temperance Reader Dear Father Cologan, - You will render a great service by publishing a Catholic Temperance Reader. I have long desired to see a Reader in our public elementary schools which should place before our younger generation a true picture of the dangers attendant upon the use and abuse of intoxicating liquor. The objection often felt to literature of this kind is that it is narrow and one-sided, and that a reaction against it sets in when this is found out to be the case. Let it be fully admitted that alcohol has its place in the pharmacop ia, like castor-oil and opium, and that therefore it has its use, and may render service to man; and then there will be no danger of misunderstanding if the terrible dangers that lurk in the use of alcoholic drinks are carefully pointed out. The Catholic Temperance Reader is not one of those sensational and passionate invectives against intemperance which are, by their very nature, evanescent in their effects. It is based upon a carefully marshalled array of facts, and upon testimonies given by all classes of men in public authority. No one will rise from the perusal of this Reader without recognizing that a strong appeal has been made to his reason, to his common-sense, to his conscience.

Download or read book An Address Upon the Moral Claims of Temperance written by Robert Woodward Barnwell and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-09 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Address Upon the Moral Claims of Temperance: Delivered Before the Charleston Total Abstinence Society The subject we present to your consideration this evening is tho Moral Claims of Temperance, and it will be our endeavor to trace out the peculiar obligations which these Societies carry with them, and impose upon all rational, moral, and immortal beings. Anatomists nave paid the highest encomiums upon the physical organization of man, and echoed the declaration of Holy Writ, that it was very good. If we could dissect the moral constitution, and unfolding all its wonderful arrangements, exhibit its mysterious workings in their countless relations, we would doubtless break forth, with pious Galen, in hymns of wonder and admiration, to its Great Author; or exclaim with all the rapturous fervor of Israel's inspired Minstrel: "I will praise thee, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made!" But although our complete moral structure is removed from our actual vision, and all that we can know of its organization is from its effects, together with a few bold, and striking phenomena, - we know enough, with the assistance of analogy, to assert that there are certain primary parts, which, from their intimate relation with our well being, and moral life, we term vital, - prominent among which is the virtue of Temperance. Used in its primitive signification temperance was synonymous with moderation, and as such was the keystone of all the virtues; for it was the essential condition under which each virtue could exist, or manifest itself lawfully. It regulated both the emotional existence of the virtuous principle, and its outward manifestation. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Bases of the Temperance Reform: An Exposition and Appeal The design Of this work is to set forth, with clearness and succinctness, the principal grounds Of the Temperance Reform, with the hope that, by securing the reader's enlightened assent, a stronger public sentiment may be called forth against all the causes - personal, social, and legalized - Of Intemperance. There are many opponents who, if better informed, would be converted into friends. There are many inquirers to whom an Essay like the present will be acceptable, as furnish ing, within a brief compass, answers to ques tions by which they have been perplexed. There are also many personal abstainers, who, having become such from benevolent impulse, will be confirmed in their course by an ac quaintance with the argumentative bases Of the Temperance system. The mission Of this work is in the highest degree practical, since nothing can be more eminently practical than the promotion Of per feet and universal sobriety - 011e Of the most important Of all conceivable ends in reference to the material and moral interests Of mankind. How this end can be reached most surely and speedily, is a subject Of transcendent and ur gent moment; and the writer makes his confi dent appeal to those who are prepared to con duct this inquiry in a candid spirit, and to carry into effect, faithfully and resolutely, the line Of action best contributive to the highest good Of the individual and Of society at large.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lectures on Temperance The Temperance Reform long since engaged sufficient learning and talent in its advocacy to rescue it from contempt. This vast agitation, which for more than a third of a century has stirred the mind and the heart of society, has evolved a literature of its own, which is more than respectable. Yet of the tens of thousands of speeches, sermons, addresses and lectures; the editorials, reports and prize essays; the papers, tracts, pamphlets and volumes which this prolonged and arduous discussion has elicited, there are no productions on this subject which are marked with so much learning, eloquence and wisdom, as these eleven Lectures by President Noir. The mature fruits of the orator, who, at the age of thirty, pronounced a discourse on the death of Hamilton, which has made him famous for eloquence ever since - the wise and efficient President, ever since that year (1804), of Union College - the beloved and honored preceptor of fifty-three successive classes of collegians, and now a patriarch hardly less of Temperance than of education; the mature fruits of so gifted, so experienced, so profound, so sagacious an intellect; the vivacity and fervor of the author's style; the beautiful truth-seeking spirit which marks his investigations, his tireless patience of research, his unfailing charity and candor to all opponents, his devout deference to the teachings of the Holy Scriptures, and last, but not least, his own great personal renown; these circumstances unite to concentrate upon these Lectures a degree of interest and attention which is commanded by no other volume on this vast social reform; a social reform, let it be added, which, more than all others combined, engrosses the thoughts and the feelings, the hopes and the fears, of this generation of men.
