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.

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.

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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Temperance Reform Vindicated: An Address Delivered Before the Temperance Societies of Charleston, on the 4th of July, 1843 Thus has Providence, since he made the earth, dealt with the nations of it, in relation to this great matter of temperance. Prosperity, dominion, glory, the rewards of sobriety; weakness, disaster, overthrow, the invariable punishments of the opposite and so, people of America, be your present glory and liberties what they may, will he deal with you, if vou follow the vicious example of those dead nations, whose history has been left for your warning. I am speaking to an audience of commercial men. Have you ever thought how deeply the economical interests of your country are involved in the success of the temperance reform? I wish to present the subject to you for one moment in this light, for there are some minds so accustomed to compute the value of every thing by its money value, there is no other way of subduing the perversity of their judgments but by proofs of arithmetic. Not many such are here I am sure, still, the least earthly of us will have his convictions strengthened by stubborn facts, from which there can be no appeal.

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.

Download or read book Shot and Shell for the Temperance Conflict Classic Reprint written by David Rogers and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Shot and Shell for the Temperance Conflict I would urge all readers of these pages, first of all to give the full influence Of their example on the right side. Let no false ideas Of fashion or gentility induce you to deem the wine-cup a harmless thing. In the next place, use every means in your power, social, moral, and legal, to lessen Or destroy the evils Of tippling and intemperance. The motives that prompt to vigorous and united action have not been weakened by the lapse Of time. The baneful results Of a legalized liquor traffic are still unspeakably deplorable. What ever temporary inaction may characterize our temperance agencies in their work, there is no cessation Of the poverty, crime, and ruin produced by intoxicating liquors. Personal Christian effort, to reform the fallen and shield the young, should go hand in hand with earnest and united endeavours to enforce the law against the traffic. Unless we are content to stand idly watching the progress of intemperance, and thus becoming in some degree responsible for the terrible consequences, we must vigorously use the legal means which the Parliament Of our country has furnished for preventing the evils Of the liquor traflic. After we have succeeded in securing what we believe to be a greatly improved local Option law, it would be unwise, unpatriotic, and recreant to duty, to neglect to take the necessary steps to bring this law into force, merely because selfish and interested parties are anxious to disparage and misrepresent it. Every available agency by which the work may be forwarded should be vigorously brought into play. Among the most effective Of these are the diffusion Of sound literature, and the training of the young in our Sunday-schools and homes in right principles and habits, so that they may be a numerous, valiant, and intelligent army, to battle for the destruction Of this great enemy to the progress and happiness Of our country.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Mirror of Intemperance, and the History of Temperance Reform: To Which Is Added the Life and Death of King Alcohol, and Original and Selected Anecdotes It was regarded as the pleasant cordial; the cheerful restorative; the friend of the infant; the comforter of the enfeebled mother; the universal token of hospitality. It accompanied the laborer in his toil; went with the mariner on his distant voy age; cheered and animated the carpenter, the mason, the blacksmith, the glass-blower, and other mechanics at their various trades. It was regarded as an excellent domestic medicine, good for a cold, a cough, a pain in the stomach or side, and weak ness in the limbs, and loss of appetite and general debility. Thus the poisonous liquid had come into general use, and was as generally abused. According to a statistical table, compiled from official returns and authentic documents by R. M. Hartley, Esq., Secretary of the New York State Temperance Society, it appears that the citizens of these United States have consumed on an average, every year, from the late war up to 1830, more than eighty and a half millions of gallons of spiritous liquors; and the annual cost of this was not less than thirty-five and a half millions of dollars!

This book was released on 2017-10-25 with total page 732 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Temperance Movement, or the Conflict Between Man and Alcohol The conflict between man and alcohol is as old as civiliza tion, more destructive than any other form of warfare, and as fierce to-day as at any time since the beginning. It is not an exaggeration to say that no other evil known in human history has been of such vast proportions and lamentable consequences as that of alcoholic intemperance. As the whole past of the race has been cursed by it, so its whole future is threatened with increasing calamity, unless there be a period put to its ravages. It is a peculiarity of this curse that it is developed by civilization, and then, like the parricide, it destroys the source of its own life. But although alcohol is his special foe, it by no means confines its dagger and chalice to civilized man. Combining with the spirit of'a mercenary commerce, this active essence of evil is hunting and extirpating the weaker races and indigenous populations of uncivilized countries from the face of the earth. The object of this book is, if possible, to arrest the atten tion of the American, if of no other people; to place before them the leading facts which enter into the great debate now pending on our own and the European continents, and to assist man, however feebly, in this great struggle with alcohol for his life.
