Montreal, ^3rrf Novmihw, 1872.

Sir,

At the last Annual Meeting of the Quebec (Provincial) TemperEnoe and Prohibitory League, the
undersigned were appointed to wait upon, or correspond with the Boman Catholic Temperance Organiza-
tions of the Province, with a view to enlisting their co-operation in efforts to secure the prohibition of the traffic
in intoxicating beverages?.

The precept and example of teoiperancc n;en and temperance societies, have undoubtedly secured
great blessings to humanity ; but something moie is required to meet the circumstances of our times.

The evils resulting from the habit of using alcoLolio drinks have assumed a social and political
magnitude, that philanthropists, medical men, scientific men, magistrates, and legislators must grasp, consider
and resolve upon.

So long as alcohol is manufactured for beverages, and its sale for that purpose licensed in this
Dominion, common commercial energy enforcing sales will distribute it to every quarter, and so long as its
poison is hidden in pleasant l > uks cunningly made sweet and aromatic to suit gratefully every palate from
the most gross to the most refined, there will everywhere be found purchasers.

The action and power of government are required to bring about the emancipation of many of our
fellow men rrom the thraldom of drinking habits by removing the temptation, and punishing the tempter.

It is the intention of the society we represent, to unite with the friends of the temperance cause in
the other Provinces, in petitioning the Dominion Legislature, for an act to prohibit the manufacture and sale
of intoxicating drinks.

We respectfully solicit the concurrence and support of the Roman Catholic clergy, and the Temperance
Societies nnder their direction, and shall feel obliged if you will consider the subject of this communication,
and favor us with an early reply containing your views, addressed to Mr. T, S. Brown, Montreal.

We are.

Yours respectfully,

(Signed,)

T. S. BROWN,

J. A. MATHEWSON,
