Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Addresses The Council of the Massachusetts Temperance Society deem it of great importance to reprint, for general circulation, the following excellent Address on the Drinking-Usages of Society, by the eminent divine and philanthropist, Bishop Potter, so well known, not only in this city, but throughout the Union. It was delivered in a sister State, before a large and highly cultivated audience, - a portion of the community supposed by many to be free from the dangers which assail the poor and the imperfectly educated. In this Address, the Bishop has conclusively, and in the most beautiful and fervid language, proved, that, in consequence of the deference paid by the rest of the community to the opinions and practices of the higher classes, the habit of self indulgence among the latter has such a baneful influence as greatly to retard the progress of the Temperance Reform. The Appeal to the Clergy of the Church of England in favor of Total Abstinence commends itself to the prayerful consideration of every member of the Church of Christ. When we consider the immense influence of the ministers of the gospel among all classes of men, there is no doubt, that, were they generally to give this movement the aid of their example, a power would go forth against the mighty evils of intemperance, which would make itself felt throughout the world, and cheer and encourage the heart of all those who love their fellow-man.
