[For the REPOIITFIL
SERMON ON TEMPERANCE,
'Am I my brother's keeper ?"—Georsis, it : 9.
In addressing you on- temperance,
this evening, I purpose to. do so from
religious standpoint : the fact on
which I shall insist is, the necessity
of upholding this cause as a moral
duty, rather than simply favoring it
as a poriularmovement, or a matter
of expediency. Intemperance in its
various
_phases the manufacture,
vending and drinking of ardent spir
its, may be regarded as an injurious
or dangerous clement in the body
politic—a social eviler a high' moral
clinic. It is under Ahis„last aspect,
that of a moral crime, that I desire to
present, it.
It is an -encouraging feature in the
,cause 44 - temperance that to a great
extent it has reached this stage in
its onward movement. Every great
moral reform usually passes through
Several stages before it is finally ef
fected. -Ist. There begin to arise se
rious,doubts as to the expediency of
the matter in question. 2d. Then
the /an/illness of it is examined. 3d.
Then it 'becomes to be' regarded as a
moral-evil, and it is abolished.
There existed in this country - an
institution—humau slavery which
passed through 'these phases in the
public mind, and disappeared. Not
a great twiny years ago, it was es
teemed but little short of treason for
a minister of the Gospel, or a public
speaker, to affirm that slavery was
not thoroughly Scriptural a great
national blessing ; and the grand dis
tiuguishino•'' feature of a great Re
public ; in fact, the grand bulwark of
our liberties ; so our. Fourth of July
speakers and spread eagle orators
generally assured us. To deny any
of these propositions, was at, the
least exceedingly " unconstitutional."
The Christian pulpit, and to a con
siderable ext.:lit, both the press-and
our public speakers, were completely
_muzzled ou this subject There was
the wretched institution tiourishiug,
if such a thing could be said to flour
ish, in a land-of boasted freedom. It
seem( d in strange . eontrast with the
assertion found - in our Declaration ofl
Independence, that • "All men are
born free and equal." But there was
an attempt made to meet this glaring
inconsistency by a process of reason
ing, the force of whikli was never
quite apparent, that the color of a
man's skiu must decide his claims to
liberty.
After a while, however, , serious
doubts as the expediency of slavery,
came to be freely entertained. Many
who held their fellow-beings in servi
tude, were convinced that they were
a property of questionable value; but
they were perpfeeed as to hoiv to get
rid of them. Then, certain effects,
always attending and growing out of
slavery, caused At() be regarded as a
gross' social - evil. Finally, Wide
eprt ad prri9dic excitement, with cries
of an impendingidissolution of the
Union; and at length a desperate at
temptat that end, with the country
convulsed to its centre and drenched
with blood, branded it as a high
crime against God, fOr which we were
justly punished ; and without dis
tinction of party, the manhood of the
nation arose in its might, and the
curse quickly - disappeared.
Now, without claiming any special
discernment, I apprehend that the
history of Intemperance inAhis coat'-
` by will be much the same ultimately
as -that,. of slavery. At no distant
period in'the .past, it was regarded
as hardly becoming in a minister ol
the Gospel to speak on the subject
of temperance iu the pulpit. -If hE
did so, he was often accused of - de.
parting from his legitimate-"sphere ol
instruction, and lowering the digni.
ty of his.calling. Noir, if a - ministei
of the Gospel is. known to be oppcis,
ed to temperance, andi declines tc
speak in favor of ,it on proper occa
sions, be is regarded as derelict it
his duty, and his influence declines

Noir if a may keeps liquor in hi,
house for general use, it is donbtfu
whether be can be regarded as a gen
tleman at all: he is rather looked up
on as one whose influence is of a verb
questionable charicter, and whose
company is to be avoided. All th'i
indicates a great advance in the hill
of reformation. Ist. -The indiscrinti

on as of doubtful' utility, and tha

it. _ 2d. enthefree use of intoxi
cating drinks, came to be esteemed a
great social evil, and productive of
the most disastrous results; and•
so
cieties advocating strict teetotal prin
ciples were formed. 3d. Ind' now
at last there is a wide-spread and
growing conviction in the minds of
intelligent and right-thinking people,
that the manufacture and sale of . in
toxicating drinks is a high crime
against God and man, and must be
suppressed.
It is from thisi view of the subject,
then, that I purpose addressing yott
this . evening. •That the free manu
facture of that which has caused
such appalling results so much
woe, wretchedness, tfiisery and suf
fering, in all their terrific forms, is a
hideous evil, requires no demonstra
tion, Could those who have gone
idcein to the'grave through this vice,
be raj i sed;and caused to pass before
us, they would form an exceeding
great army. Could we be made to
hear and discern the cries of anguish
and despair—the heart-rending sobs
and silent grief-and wretchedness of
those who hey° experienced the ef
fects of strong drink, as indulged by
husbands, fathers and brothers,the
blighted hopes, the crushing disap
pointment—the haggard wives, "the
orphaned, outeast, hungry; starving.
naked children,—all the effects of
rum; we would be- deafened by the
piercing wails, and quail 'at the sight
of the stupendous misery:! And .we
would boldly maintain before high
heaven, that no man, nor set of men,
had any moral right to legalize such
an infernal) treftic ; and that they.
who wilfully for political purposes,
or for the sake of _gain, defend and
maintain it, deserve the deepest de
gradation alien. And we would re
member with satisfaction that there
is a judgment-seat whereon, sits a
Judge of infinite holiness and inflexi
ble justice.
This a matter, too, which comes
closely to ourselves. How few of us,
either in our families or in the circle
of ontsfriends, have not felt the ef
fects.of strong drink ! Not one here
present, I venture to say, cannot re•
call some one, once connected with
him in relationship or friendship,
who now fills an inebriate's' grave,
and who but for this vice, might
have lived a happy, useful life,' and
come to a good man's death. The
very first person I was called on to
bury, as a minister of the Gospel,
was a young* physician who had
everything in his favor=e finished
'education, excellent abilities, good
social position a loving wife, and an
increasing practice. But he drank."
And he lay before me a mere wreck
of bright hopes, and fond expecta
tions, and promise of extended use
fulness; 'envier., nothing behind brit
a blackened memory and a bereaved
wife. J knew a lawyer, who was one
of the brightestsornarnents of one 'of
the most brilliant, bars'in this State.
His gifts. his learning and brilliancy
caused his company to be mnch
sought, and were giving hitn a wide
spread reputation. But he begareto
love drink, and he sunk lower and
lower, till be sank to the dregs of so
ciety. One evening he sent for me
•n great haste in extreme illness.
After - a long ride, I found him lying
on the floor of a low country bar - -
Town iu a dying condition. Soon he
died, and was hurried 'off to a drunk
ard's grave—a solemn warning of
the appalling effects of strong drink.
These are not singular instances.
Similar cases . are ever occurring, and
have perhaps come within the obser
vation of some present. We have
not to look far; even in this 'commu
nity, to witness the results of liquor.
to perceive how young and old 'are
rendered worthless and wretched by
its use.' It has; ard. is constantly
nSsting down many strong men.
wounded and•avretched, helpless vic
tims of this giant evil. But for' this
one failing, they might' he useful,
virtuous members of society, who
I could much las advance the best in
terests of their fellows, and be a
blsssing to theinselves and others.
This one habit; however, destroys all,
and they pass on through a. short,
disgraceful career, a curse to them
selves and a moral nuisance to the
community; While in reference to the
world to come it is declared on Di
vino authority, "No drunkard shall
inherit. the kingdom of God."
"What of all this?' says one.
"What is the relevancy of these
statements to myself? They are true
enough in themselves; but, what have
I to do with my neighbor's affairs?
Am I my brother's keeper ?' " This
brings us to the truth which It; wish
to press on you,—our revonsibility
in-reference to our - neighbor's welfare.
The insolent,iinswer of the first mur
derer to his Maker, when 'questioned
as to the whereabouts of his brother;
Abel, evinces, aside from its absolute
untruthfulness, the essence of selfish
peas, an utter recklessness in regard
to the well-being of a fellow-creature.
He did know what had become of
his brother, since he had been guilty
of his death. • And, if he did- not
know his brother's fate s it was his
bounden duty to ascertain it, if pos
sible.
Without further examining, this
• held, insulting language of Cain,
when called to an account by the
Almighty, we shall use it as express
, iug in its na.et hideous and undis
guised form, the spirit of .selfishness,
as frequently displayed by men; to
wards his fellossenau— s a spirit-which
t is intimately connected,, withthe tol
eration of the crime of intemperance.
Now, God has /rya measure, at least,
constituted as the keeper of our
brother. " None of us," says the
- Apostle; . " livetkunto hiluself.' That
is, we baste no Moral right to pass
through life, masking our own on
i pleasure or advantage the supreme
1 end of existence.. We all exerj, an
influence on our fellow-being s, as v.-e.
. mingle with Ahem in the. business
a W and recreations of life, and iu turn
I _ are influenced by them. Now,
_we
- hive no moral right to be reckless in
-' regard to the character-of that Mu
,. ence which we exert op others. Our
neighbor's haetpinesi bcith in . this
world and the next dependi o.n his
e moral character, and that character
we aid in shaping. If you saw your
, neighbor's house on fire at midnight,
t your first impulse would' be to awa
: 1 ken him and warn him of his dazigar;
and if you neglect to do it,
you will be jostly regarded m want
ing in the first principles of humani
ty, and, forfeit . the respect of your
feltow-men. Or, if you saw one com
mitting a depredation on your neigh
bor's property,- you Certainly would
feel impelled promptly to inform and
assist him in bringing the wrong
doer to_jusfice, and not permit him
to suffer lose. Or, if you saw one
'traveling a road beset with snares
and pitfalls, your first impulse, if -ac
triated by upright, kindly principles,
would be to warn ; him 'of the peril to.
which he was hastening, • and not al
loir him, to fall into mischief, and,
perhaps, destrnction. And, so, if
you knew ono to be pursuing a line
of conduct, or addicted to a habit
which you knew to be destructive of
life and happiness, you ought, and
probably would feel inclined to ad
monish him of his folly, and urge
him to change; his course. And,- if
ynn shoold suffer him ti go on' un
warned you will hardly be esteemed
innocent in the matter,.when a time
ly 'admonition might have caused
him to abandon his - perilous course.
Yet, we are frequently told by
men, that they are in no wise regponsi
hle fur their m4ghbor's intemperance.
Th_at they never, drink; or, if they. do,
they have sufficient firmripes or self
r,itraint to keep within dip:: bounds ;
that the_ir fellow-men ought not to
regard their example, and that they
are not required to concern them
selves in reference to the habits of
others. They themselves .claiin thp
right to use liquor, or let it alone, ah
they lie() fit, and they readily concede
the,same privilege to others. Now,
here we have manifested the spirit'
of the text, "Am' I my brother's
keeper?"-a'spirit of supreme , self
ishness, a recklessness in regferd to
the temporal and eternal well being
of °Ultra. Theisimple reply to this
hideous, contemptible selfishness, is
that we are our brother's keeper,-
that we have no right to , follow any
practice which may prove a stum
bling block . :o a felloy-being and
jeopardize his present and future : in
terests; and that for the influence
which we' exert on oth3rs, God will
bold us accountable; so that we can
not innocently disregard the welfare
of our neighbor by setting him au
evil example; and that so far aslin
us lies, we are bound to remove ev'e
ry sriar into which`he is in danger
of being entrapped. Let us now
conic nelirer to the special object
which we have in view. In abolish
ing an evil, to do it effectually, "we
mast hare regard to its so.urco. In
time past it was custounti.y, -when
advOcAing temperance principles,
to indulge in abusive language with
out stint, towards the matinfacturers
and sellers of strong drink; and he
was esteemed the most eloquent and
effective speaker on- the subject, who'
commanded the greatest amount of
%ituperative epithets, and make tan
freest use of billingsgate. But this
was to attack the effect instold ofLthe
s-ause, and to attempt to damn up the
stream, rather than to dry up the
fountain which supplied it. The re
sult was that no perceptible progress
was made toward (reform, and the
fearful evil ,stalked abroad in the
hind without let oy hindrance. So
long its a law *permits or connives at
an evil, so icing will men be found to.
take advantage of the fact and en
gage in wrong-doing for the .sake of
galn..
Now, while hold that the mann
facture and sale of liquor for drink
ing purposes, to be a high, crime
without regard to the law on the
sal**, whether it permits or pro
btbits; yet so long as the law toler
ates and protectsit,•men will readily
engage in it And we may tell them
of the evil of the business—of the
vast wretchedness they are entailing
on individuals and households; still,
while they are within the counlenaniw
of tht law; they will .continue the un-
holy traffic, and - scatter the brands
and death. If a law were.passed al
lowing the indiF,critninate sale of
de.elly poisons to all who chose 'to
buy them, and the bueiness proved
profitable, men debased and aban
doned enough would be found to en
gage in it. The simple fact that
numbers, of men, Women and chil
dren were constantly hurried to un
timely graves, would be, of no'avail
in deterring them from pursuing the
dreadful calling. Tho law authoriz
ed and protected them in it, and that
would -be sufficient. Our nrotests
would be of no avail, and they would
continue the traffic in spite of us, un
less the manhood within . us should
arouse and, lawfully or unlawfully,
summarily stop it. The proper and
legitimate method, however, of sup
priasing such a' business will be by ai
radical change in the law, so that
the busin,esa would be made illegal;
and `those engaging in it be treated
as criminals.
Just., here, then, we make our
stand /la the present agitation, -and
attempt: at temperance reformation.
the laW in regard to the matter is
radically wrong, and I have no hesi
tation in sayitig, in the light of Di
vine justice, the best interests of men,
and of facts, all of which we are
bound to consider, it is infamous. If
then, we aim at suppressing Oils
'monstrous wrong, we must change
the law which permits and defends
it, and rigidly maintain it' as thus
changed, and the evil will quickly
disappear.
Now, the law-making, power in this
laud resides pilimarily iu the people.
These who are elected to legislate,
are elected to give expression to the
wishes of tbo.-;:• whu:u they are cho
sen to represent. • They have no pro
per fight to act regardless of the will
of their constituents. If they act
contrary to that will, the)
~eug'ut_ to j
be, anti usually are, held accountable I
to those who elected them. And Mt':
is right. If, then, a htw is obnoxious
and is formed to ‘cork evil to cum
inanity or a people at large, it is
within the power of . than people to
repeal it ; and, if they still allow it to
remain on the statute book, they are
responsible for it. ,That the licen , :e
laws, generally, of ' the land, ate
wrong, is becoming apparent, and to
a considerable extent freely admitted.
That the liquor traffic ought to be
modified or wholly abolished, is also
extensively maintained. . The. point
i to be settled is the best, practicable
method to reach the desired end.: c
This brings us directly to the great, e
practical point in the preseot discus- a
'ion. . .
.
-There is a fair promise of our be-
ing called'on at no 'd ;taut : day, to
vote for or against a clause in our 1
revised' constitution which will have. f.
for its end the permanent prehibitiOn. i •

be urged against a cordial support of- a

that we cannot carry a prohibitory

This proposed prphibitdry 'clause
in the constituhon, is free, from a
difficulty, which was urged against
the law whichwe lately adopted, viz:
that if carried, and. an attempt , trade

Years ago, there was roota Uu• tear
on this score, and adverff:
to temperance were rendered
those Who were unwilling to lu re
strictions pla4d, on their favorite
beverage, or whose opinion:: could
be purchased for_ a reasonable con
sideration. But a change fur the
better has taken place, and legal rub
luish which was once found salting in
high places, has disappeared; so that
now there 'is the ; promise 'of the

But,' if a difficulty is, to be ehcoun

that! there is a growing couvicti , in
that a few fossiliz t ed men, who be

Wretched sots. The will of a well

-true Supreme Court . in this laud,
and those who attempt to thwart or
set aside that will, must be held
strictly Accountable, ngd consigned
to the_coutempt and . obLvien which
they deserve. You and I have the
right to say whether rum. Ault or,
phall not be sold in our midst, and
our will in this matter »rust be and
be ultiMately respected and pre-
I . via.
When.the liquor interest is driven
to entrench itself behind this legal
bulwark as its last resort, then it is
time , for the people_ to rise as one
wan,
- and. make their power felt; -in
spite of the views - of a few ,antioat
ed. or, it may be, mercenary men. If
the suppression of the liquor .traffic,
and.of the destruction, of the souls
and bodies:of men and the well-be
ing society, is declared !‘ unconstitu
tional," then it will become the duty
of the people to. Alm that it is' and
shall be constitutional, and to sweep
.the advocates of, intemperance into
obscurity, wherever fonnd,
. I might, urge on you the hearty
support of, coustitutiOnal prolnl?ition
from other considerations. \ lt. is a
great ,bother and hindrance to the
pr.qiess of the pure Gospel of Christ.
No one vice presents such -formida
ble barriers 'to the prevalence of true
religion in this land to-day as intent •
Perauce - in its various forms. Re
move it ant:qf the way; and a much
illiore rapid advanee would be made
in the progress -of piety and the
,highest well-being of this people.
Again, intemperance is,a most
es
-pensive vice. - When figures are
placed before us; setting forth 'the
eqdrise caused .by this crime to the_
bOdy politic, ,AVO are'
.startled at the
long array, and are .disposed 'strong
ly to quesi ion their accuracy. Yet
the ball. naked fact, attested
by ion; experience, and indubitable
vdence. The drain on the . public
Isury caused by the ruantifactuire,
~J;!' and drinking of liquor,. is al
:no-t incredible. And yet the people
tol-r.de it. : 0 are moved to its sup
pr , ssiou only by the most powerful
ex-Alions, and then Only by slow
steps.• Most earnestly would surge
the eousideration of
,th;s. matter on
yl,ll all. As good citizens, 'as father's
and husbands, and as progressing
Christiat, it is important- that we
lend all our influence to the siippreS
i z , ion of this monster vice, intetuper-
I :wee, who is running riot' through
