Tothis systcm, I have had the honor of being attached for several years ; and this having been the first oppor- tunity I have ever had of delivering my sentiments on ijiis sub- ject in Horton, I crave the indulgence of the meeting, while I shall advert to some of the reasons which first induced me to favor, and adopt this system. 1st. I could not conceive that intoxicating liquors, considered aa a common beverage, were a necessary of life ; that they were of any use whatever, to the mental or physical energies of man ; that they could operate as a safe-guard against the intensity of heat or cold ; or administer much, if any, real strength to the human system. I was brought to this conclusion from the fact, that, as far as my information extends, the origi- nal inhabitants of Great Britain never used them in that wav ; that the American Indians, the aborigines of this country, were a hardy athletic race, and felt no need of this artificial stimulus ; that tlie Pil^im Fathers of New England, I mean the first set- tlers from England to America, were abstemious to a proverb, and y< were never surpassed for physical or mental activity and strengtn. They endured unparalled hardship and sufferings, witli the utmost constancy and perseverance ; and regarded the fcaS "'-■^v'\i ftp 7 • \\' .*»* ■'iTTijKl' 't.i' •- introduction of intoxicating liquors into that land as a most dis- tructive evil ; that the natives of some of the hotest countries on earth, as the Arabs, Hindoos, and Birmans, are prohibited by theirieligion from the use of these Uquors, and yet, they sustain tlie burning heat of the tropics, unaided by stimulants of any kind, in a high state of health and spirits. And what, I w^ould ask, SUPPORTED, INVIGORATED, and ENCOURAGED, the whole human race, during those forty-nine centuries, previous to the birth of that celebrated Arabian, whose name and genius are immor- talized by the invention of Alcohol 1 The strongest and stoutest man among them, abstained altogether from the use of even fermented liquor. So did all the Rechabites, from the days of Jonadab, son of Rechab their father. There are also, among ourselves, eminent examples, exhibiting the practicability of entire abstinence. Some few can be found, who have never used intoxicating liquors, except medicinally ; and a much larger number, who, although they once used them temperately, have since tested the truth of my proposition by their own actual ex- periment. Indeed, stronger cases still can be found, furnishing irrefragable evidence in favor of this system. Numerous and undoubted instances could be named, in which confirmed drunk- ards have been reformed by entirely abstaining from the use of all intoxicating drinks, and without the least injury either mental or corporeal. 2nd. Another reason which led me to adopt the principle of total abstinence was, that, as intoxicating liquors, considered as a common beverage, are not a necessary of life, so they are injurious to life. God, who is the author of nature, no less than of revelation, has abundantly provided for the essential happiness, and relative usefulness of mankind; but, the expe- rience of all ages and nations, has furnished the most indubitable proof, that, the use of intoxicating liquors is totally inconsistent with either. And this view of the subject becomes the more convincing and striking, when we attend to the peculiar nature and properties of all intoxicating drinks. In alj these, alcohol is the principal of intoxication ; and it has been clearly demon- strated, both by the researches, and the experiments of chemistry^ in connexion with the structure and pathology of the human frame, that, alcohol is an essentially active poison, and that the constant use of it, in any shape, must necessarily injure health, and finally destroy life itself. |l L I behove it is now almost generally supposed, that, ttie nii»- chicvous principle of inebriety, of wTiich I am now speaking, cannot be made to nourish and invigorate the body. It is by the appointment of heaven, and the constitution of our common nature, rendered incapable of producing such a result. Its con- version into CHYLE, after being received into the stomach, and its subsequent appropriation by means of the blood vessels, for the purposes of renewing and invigorating the body, are known to be inipos.sible. No alcoholic substance can be controled, dijested, or appropriated, by means of the stomach. When re- ceived there it immediately diftuses itself through the whole sys- tem ; it penetrates the very substance of the body, the brain, the nerves, and the blood vessels. All become excited and in- flamed ; the functions of the entire system become deranged ; its action is irregular, and the well adjusted play of its parts and mechanism disturbed and disordered ; often deranging not only I the funtions of the body, but even its organic structure. If this doctrine be true, then it follows, that, in whatever assignable measure alcohol, which is found in all spirituous liquors, and in most of our wines and malt drinks — I say, in whatever assign- able measure alcohol may be drunk, these eiVects must necessa- rily follow in a proportionate degree. Hence, in my judgment this view of the subject furnishes us w^ith a strong additional ar- gument in favor of the utter rejection of all alcoholic drinks: for if it be true, that, the essential constituent in all intoxicating liquors, is alcohol, and that this is found, in large proportions, not only in the different kinds of distilled liquors, but also in most of tl 10 wines, as well as malt preparations drunk in this country, than how can any man, especially any christian man, swallow daily an amount of carbon, oxygen, and hydro- gen, (of which alcohol is compounded,) which, if taken sepa- rately, from other neutralizing ingredients, would deprive him of life, periiaps, in a few hours. Now if intoxicating liquors be not a necessary of life, on the contraiy, injurious to the constitution of man, when taken as a common beverage, then let us look at the waste of property, connected with the consumption of it. We will suppose a man consumes only three-pence worth per day, this will cost him jG4' 113 annually. This in ten years will amount to JC45 12 6. In twenty years to £91 5 0. And in thirty years to £136 17 6, Thus one temperate drinker, so called, will pour down his throat a2 rt — 6 mn much liquor as will cost him JC136 17 6 in the short space of thirty years. And this is the expense for one individual only; how largo must the sum be for a whole family, equally tem- perate, and especially where there is a number of workmen I It has been estimated that the actual cost of intoxicating liquors to Great Britain annually, is not less than fifty millions of pounds sterling; that this suit^ is sufficient to pay otfoiir national debt in thirteen years ; that it would build twelve such Canals as the Grand Erie, and Hudson Canals every year ; that it would sup- port a Navy, four times as large as that of England ; that it is sixty times as much as the aggiegate income of all the principal religious charitable societies in Europe and America; that it would supply every family on the earth with a Bible in eight months ; that it would support a religious teacher among every two thousand souls on the globe ! ! ! But to this account we must add the expense of Pauperism, — the waste of time, — the loss of life, occasioned by the use of this intoxicating drink. It is estimated, that, si::ty thousand j)ei*sons die annually in Great Britain, and upwards of thirty thousand in the United States, in the prime of life by intoxication ! ! But we cannot stop here. We must reckon the expense oc- casioned by the hosts of criminals made by intemperance, such as watching their movements, seizing and trying tliem, main- taining them in prison, &c. and the immense lo>rtJos sustained by the community in their mismanai',emcnt of business, extra- vagance in expenditure, theft, burolaricrf, arsons, frauds, mur- ders, and a ho&t of other crimes. Neither should we lose sight, in this estimate, of the unspeak- able amount of disgrace, and misery, intemperance brings to the immediate relatives and friends of the intemperate. It is impossible to imagine, and much more so to estimate, the as- tonishing amount of sulfering, endured by husbands, wives, parents, children, and other connexions of the multitude of abominable and filthy drunkards in our land. The bare recital of individual instances is enough to chill the blood in our veins, and move the heart of a stone. AH these calculations, however, horrible as they may appear, dwindle to a point, whsri we viev/ the immortal souls of such I ^»' A vast company, reeling into eternity every year, appearing be- fore God in judgment, witli all their atrocious crimes about them. 1 believe, sir, thiit it is generally thought, that even a temperate use of intoxicaling drinks is prejudicial to an elevated state of pious feeling; that it is calculated to prevent serious reflection, and to hasten the departure of the Holy Ghost. What then must be the wretched state of him, who, tarries long at the wine, who goes to seek mixed wine. The great Jehovah has expressly and positively declared, that, " drunkards shall not inherit the kingdom of God." 3rd. Another reason which led me to adopt the principle of entire abstinence was — I could not see any thing in favor of the use of intoxicating liquors, considered as a common beverage, in any part of the sacred scriptures : on the contrary, I thought I could di^'cern something in the shape both of precept and ex- ample which seemed to discountenance that use. On this sub- ject, the language of the Bible, appears to me, to be clear and unequivocal — "Be not drunk with wine." — "Wine and new wine take away the heart." — *• Wine is a mocker." — "Strong drink is raging." — " He tran^gress^eth by wine," — " through drink they are out of th(? way." — " The priests and the people have erred through stroiirr tlriiik." — " Woe to them that rise up early to fol- low strong drink, and continue till wine inHamethem." — ;"Woe to them that drink wine in bowls — Be not among wine bibbers." — "Who hath woo, sorrow, contensions, and babblings? They that continue long at the wine ; they that go to seek mixed wine." — " Woe to them that are mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mingle strong drink." — "Woe to him that giveth hia neighbour drink, that putteth the bottle to his mouth, and maketh him drunken." — "Look not upon the wine when it is red, when it movclli itself in the glass." So much for precept, now let us look at example, and we shall find, that, the drunkenness of Noah, Lot, Nadab, Abihu and Nabal incurred the displea- sure of heaven, while the vow of the humble Rechabites, "We will drink no wine," is commemorated by the special and public approval of Jehovah: and to th?se we might add the example of the wife of Manoah, Hannah, Samuel, and the Nazarites, as securing the sanction of divine commendation. It follows, there- fore, that no person of ordinary intelligence, can consult the pages of inspiration, without perceiving at once that the common use of alcoholic, intoxicating liquors, of whatever kind, is strictly T r 8 and unequivocally furbidden in the scriptures, as plainly and lutuily injuriout^tothe beat interests of man, in time and eternity. ^th. Another reason which induced me to become an ab- stainer ii-om the use of intoxicating liquors, was, « hope that mt/ example might have some v^ood eject upon those by whom I was surrounded, and egptcinlly upon the drunkard- I felt deeply convinced that if any thing could be done to save the drunkard, and stop the ravages of intemperance, it was tlie duty of every man ; and more particularly every christian to make the at- tempt — a duty which he owes to God, to himself, to the coun- try and the world at largi3 ; and that to accomplish this object, no self-denial coulnm/^nt ws miifht save our beloved country from a vast amount of poverty, disease, misery and disgrace!! While musing on this subjoci I came to the determination that if my example were worth any thing, I would give it to the cause of Temperance. I have done so, and have no wish to recall what I have done. No, the more I become acquainted with the principles of the system, aud with the workings of the system, the more I am convinced of the wisdom and propriety of the Btep taken by me. Indeed so far li-om having repented of what I have done, I say now, and in the fear of God, that, if there be any force in my example, or any talent entrusted to me, I am willing to throw it into this good cause. And it strikes me that this is the duty of every temperate man, and the whole business of this reform lies in the hands of the temperate ! They must begin, prosecute, and finish it, or it will never be accomplished. The intemperate will not, and they cannot if tliey would. Many have sneered at the project of beginning f '^-^f^rM T '^^ 9 with the temperate to revolutionize the land. They have raid, " preach to the intemperate — they only need reforming." All attempts of this kind, have utterly failed. It is beginning at the wrong end, and can never succeed. And to this sentiment public opinion is fast verging. Within these few years what an astoni&ihing alteration has taken place, and what wonders have been effected. Millions of the temperate have entirely abstained from the use of ii.toxicating drinks, and thousands of the most confirmed drunkards have been reclaimed. Men of talent, influence, and elevated standing in society have become deeply interested in this cause, and God has crowned their efforts with abundant success. Gentlemen of the learned professions both in the church and state, have volunteered their services, and evince a spirit and zeal worthy of the . hject. Indeed, public sentiment, on this subject, is rolling on Itkc the resistless tide, and becoming omnipotent, and extending its influence far and wide. Yes, although custom, taK'.e, ami interest, havo sanction i;i the use of the deadly poison, so that every attempt to oppose it, has met with the most determined opposition ; though earth and hell have raged, and weapons from their armory have been brought against it, every where God has prospered it. In no town or village has it been tried, but parents, wives, husbands, children, and ministers have had cause to rejoice. Oh, could you see the smiling faces of once abused and insulted wives, now cherished and beloved bv their abstaining husbands ! Could you hear the thankful notes of widowed mothers, whose drunken sons have made their widow- hood doubly desolate, but are now, through abstinence, the support and comfort of declining days I Could you see the dear children who once fled from the sound of their father's footsteps as from a bear or a tiger, now running to welcome the kind-hearted and praying man home ! Could you behold the independence and cheerfulness which mark the elevated brow of the once abject and dependent slave, as he walks at Hberty to the Saving's Bank, and lays down his three or five, or ten sovereigns, saying " I should never have brought that but for tee-totalism 1" Could you see whole families raised from beggary, comfortably clad, their houses furnished, their family Bibles on the table, kneeling at the family altar, or walking to the house of God in company — surely, you would ask, ** What hath God wrought," and be convinced that the pleasure afford- ed by a glass of wine, or ale, dwindles to nothing, compared h"'' vEffiSyrMffii .i-tJii ,i I ■!■! !

' Yes, you would be ready to ask— *' If my mbderatt drinking sanctions a habit which con- firms men in misery, and my abstinence might instrumentally save but one drunkard from a drunkard's grave, and a drunkard'i hell, is it too much for me to say — " I touch it no more for ever: I never look upon it with approbation again." Let every man and woman act thus, and then this country, and indeed the whole earth will be quit of this filthy and heinous crime. Let their be no consumers, and there will soon be no purchas- ers, and no manufacturers. This is the only way. No tamp- ering with the inebriating cup will do. It must be wholly and totally abandoned, or all is lost. But, it may be asked, perhaps, — If all intoxicating liquors are to be dispensed with, what shall we substitute in their place 1 To this question T would reply, that the most renowned Physi- cians of ancient and modern times have stated that simple water without antj addilion is the proper drink for maiu This appears to have been the healthful beverage of Adam in Paradise. The Nazarites also, the most holy people, and separated specially for God were commanded to touch nothing but water. When the strongest man was to be born, his mother was to touch nothing but water ; and to preserve his strength, water was his common beverage. Tlie Rechabites are commended for obedience to their father, one part of which was, abstinence from intoxi- cating drinks. Timothy was habitually a water drinker, but, reduced bv excessive labour, andmanv infirmities, his stomach refused to perform its necessary functions, and hence, the ui)ostle commanded him to take, as medicine, a little wine t(j recover him. The Roman soldiers, those iron men, who trampled down the nations, drank only water and vinegar for their common beverage, and yet they were not faint nor weary under their ponderous armour, toilsome marches, and tremend- ous battles. In Scotland and Wales, the labours in harvest have been, and still are performed with no other beverage than whey, butter-milk, or oatmeal and water. In the north, and other parts of England, the most laborious workmen, such as glass blowers, cotton pressors, anchor smiths, who stand all day near a great fire, and in great heat, are not only doing their work, but better, and in better health with water, than with in- toxicating liquors. And indeed, a celebrated Physician has asserted that in the course of forty years practice, he had never ff H I ■ li ^ V ""I I |dy )n- lly d'« Ifor bed ip- ind V ;<^^et with an instance of iii|i|]i3f^lu4ftmg from having cut at once 'and entirely with the ban61\d habit of drinking intoxicating drinks. As to the influence of entire abstinence on the human mind, it cannot but be beneficial. The uniform testimony of the most eminent Physicians, corroborated by a multiplicity of stubborn iacts, place the truth of this remark beyond a doubt. The im- mortal Edwards ; Luther, the celebrated reformer ; and Sir Issac Newton, are eminent examples. The latter gentleman while composing his essay on light, a work requiring the greatest clearness of intellect, abstained not only from intoxicating liquors, but also from all stimulating food. As an humble individual, Mr. President, I may be allowed to say, that, having had more or less acquaintance with the movements and proceedings of the Temperance question for more than ten years, and having now served about eight years apprenticeship to the system of tee-totalism, I am as firmly at- tached to it, and as much in love with it as ever I have been. I still find that I can study, and preach, and labour, and travel ; that I can endure cold or heat, wind or rain ; and that I am as fresh and healthy, and vigorous without the use of intoxicating liquors, as I ever was with them. Indeed Sir, my friends in England, have repeatedly told me that I am a credit to my profession. Well ! well Sir, if by my appearance, I can re- commend the good cause, the interests of which are entwined about my heart, I shall be thankful : but whether that is so or no, I must say, I do feel anxious to do credit to the tee-total clause by a consistent conduct. I desire to be a thorough going, out-and-out tee-totaler, at home and abroad, in every situation, ^nd under every circumstance of life. I thank my God, I am not ashamed of my principles, and I think, should not be ashamed to avow those principles before her Majesty the Queen. No, Sir, I am too v/ell acquainted with the basis on which the principle* of total abstinence rest, with the benefits which the world and the church have derived from them, and will continue to derive from them in proportion as they are circulated and known, and carried out, ever to be ashamed of them. So far from being ashamed of this good cause, I feel it to be an honor ly be associated with you in endeavouring to promote its interests. Yes, you are my brethren.
