There are few men in the community who
do not desire, or claim, to be placed in the class
OF moral men. And yet how small a proportion
give their aid or their influence to the causes
that are peculiarly moral in their organization
or effects. The cause of Temperance is, in
every respect, moral one, and one that aims
at the moral as well as political elevation of
men. 1t is based upon the purest principles of
morality, and looks to men of moral tendency
for influence and support. The truly moral
man desires that his fellow men should be ele-
waited in the scale of humanity, and that the
lives of men shall be such that righteous
judgment shall pronounce them good. II intem-
perance fourishes, and all its concomitant evils,
the cause of immortality also fourishes, and men
forsake those paths that. lead to goodness and
virtue. immortality leads to bad government
and dsorder-to the breaking forth of violent
passions, and all the evils that naturally flow
from violence and crime. Can any man pro-
fess to be moral man, and lover of his fellow
man, and refuse to give his assent to these
great truths. We claim from every man of
this class his earnest and well directed assist
ance, or else that he relinquish his title to
place among the well-wshers of the community.


Temperance is exerted in favor of goodness,
and he that will not aid it, is either opposed to,

among moral and Christian men, so long as he
opposes that which is altogether in favor of
