...hear the lecture of the Rev. Joseph Cook on "Temperance." The lecturer was introduced by Mr. Webster, president of the Harvard Total Abstinence League. Mr. Cook began by comparing the prohibition question to the old slavery issue, and said he hoped that his hearers would live to seethe liquor traffic declared an outlaw thoughout the civilized world.

Traffic, or provision in any way encouraging drunkenness, should be discouraged. But people object, and say that there is no sin in moderate drink-Dr. Crosby has even said that temperance is more manly than total abstinence; the temperate man is the manly man, the total abstainer the coward, and the excessive user the beast.
