GOOD.

By National Temperance Advocate

THERE is a great need of a revival of old-fashioned temperance. The antique in other things has become fashionable; old-fashioned houses are in great demand, and old-fashioned furniture is much sought for. Old-fashioned temperance laid great stress upon individual appeal for total abstinence. One by one the pioneer temperance army was recruited as pledged total abstainers. These pledged recruits were obtained in large numbers in meetings, held in churches, halls, school-houses, and lodge rooms, wherein the reason for total abstinence was given by a careful and thorough analysis of the evil nature and effects of strong drink itself. In this respect the old-fashioned temperance meetings were a most helpful school of education to multitudes by whom they were attended. Let them be revived.
