A Temperance Address: Delivered Sabbath Evening, Feb. 2, 1851, at New Market, N. H
Excerpt from A Temperance Delivered Sabbath Evening, Feb. 2, 1851, at New Market, N. H
We have met to mourn over a calamity which, like one of the plagues sent to curse ancient Egypt, has come upon us, and into our houses, and into our bed chambers, and is deso lating our land. We have met to bear our testimony against Inrsmamca - a vice that has taken deep root in our nation, spreading to its remotest borders, and dropping in its loveliest paths the seeds of misery, disease and death, notwithstanding all that has been done to arrest its progress.
I propose to direct your attention to a brief sketch of the origin and progress of the Temperance Reformation - what led to it - what were its objects - the men that projected it the means they employed - what they accomplished, and the causes that have contributed to retard its progress.
