Excerpt from Temperance Sermons: Delivered in Response to an Invitation of the National Temperance Society and Publication House It is a part of every Christian minister's duty to keep his congregation instructed on the subject OI temperance from the Christian point of View. It is especially my duty, because this church has, from its very foundation, reckoned the cause of temperance as a part of the great Christian move ment of the world. It is my duty, because In many ways a generation has come up in our midst Without that special and sedulous training which we had in our youth. Those who are at about my time of life remember the beginning of this education, and how strong and various were the influences and impulses and instruments by which the attention of the community was aroused. There was, first, novelty; and then, at last, fashion and public sentiment concurred. This movement has run through one generation, and also has run through a kind of moral period, and a reaction has come on, and a generation of young persons have arisen who are less informed, perhaps, on this subject, than those who immediately preceded them. It becomes important, therefore, that Churches and ministers should renew the instruc tion of the young on the dangers of drinking.
