Fix this textTHE STATE OF THE TEMPERANCE CAUSE.
Fix this textIt is not unfrequently alleged that the cause
Fix this textol teetotalism is declining. We have been
Fix this textdelighted to find the friends of our cause in
Fix this textEngland successfully combating this error.
Fix this textIhe following article sets the question at
Fix this textrest. We feel we cannot do better than
Fix this textcommence a second year of our publication
Fix this textby reprinting the important document:
Fix this textIs the T emperance Cause in a prosperous
Fix this textor adverse position ?
Fix this textAn answer to this query involves the
Fix this textfollowing considerations:—The number of
Fix this textits pledged adherents; —the activity or apathy
Fix this textof its members; and the standing which it
Fix this textoccupies in the public mind, and more par-
Fix this textticularly in theeslimation of men distinguished
Fix this textfor their intellectual greatness or moral ex-
Fix this textcellence.
Fix this textNow, as regards the number of members
Fix this textincluded as within its limits, the matter stands
Fix this textnearly in this condition. In the spring of
Fix this text1834, there were seven pledged abstainers
Fix this textfrom all intoxicating liquors; in the autumn
Fix this textof 1845, there are not fewer than seven mil-
Fix this textlions ! Eleven years ago, the temperance
Fix this textmovement, as it at present exists, was begun
Fix this textin the town of Breston, and it has now ex-
Fix this texttended to almost every portion of the globe
Fix this textwhich owns the dominion of man.
Fix this textThe South Sea Islands have been by its
Fix this textinfluence rescued from the torrent of fire
Fix this textwaters, which had well nigh overwhelmed
Fix this textthem In the Sandwich Islands there are
Fix this texttwo periodicals devoted to the advocacy of
Fix this textthe cause; the king and the majority of the
Fix this textchiefs being practical and, we believe, pledged
Fix this textabstainers New South Wales, Van Die-
Fix this textmen’s Land, and New Zealand have felt its
Fix this textpower, as is evident by the existence of more
Fix this textthan ten thousand teetotalers In Persia,
Fix this textSiam, and Burmah, the missionaries are
Fix this textteaching and practising abstinence, and are
Fix this textorganizing societies In British India,
Fix this textthere are about 5000 European members,
Fix this textthe majority of whom are soldiers; and this
Fix this textcalculation totally excludes the millions of
Fix this textHindoos, who rarely, if ever, use intoxicat-
Fix this texting liquors ......Tn Africa, there are large
Fix this texttemperance societies, especially among the
Fix this textaborigines; many of the missionary stations
Fix this textbeing the head-quarters of teetotalism in
Fix this texttheir respective districts In Jamaica,
Fix this textDominica, St. Vincent’s, Trinidad, Antigua,
Fix this text&c.; and in British Guiana, on the South
Fix this textAmerican coast, there are thousands of
Fix this textzealous and consistent teetotalers But it
Fix this textis in the United States, next to Ireland, that
Fix this textthe greatest triumph have been achieved.
Fix this textIn Massachusetts there are fourteen counties,
Fix this textand only one grants licenses for the sale of
Fix this textstrong drinks. Moral and legal suasion are
Fix this textbeing put in active operation throughout the
Fix this textUnion; and according to a late computation
Fix this textthere are ten thousand societies, with lour
Fix this textIt's easy and takes two shakes of a lamb's tail!
