RE-SIGNING THE PLEDGE.

By Stephen Nelson Haskell

WHEN I was a lad of about eight summers, a temperance lecturer came to the town where my father lived, and gave a number of lectures. Quite an interest was taken in his mission. He presented the matter to the Sunday-school which I attended. I felt quite a desire to sign the pledge, as I saw many others of about my age go forward, and with them my two sisters. But I was fond of sweet cider, and I thought the signing of the pledge would prohibit my drinking it. So I began to reason, What serious thing would happen provided I should not always keep my pledge? I reasoned as did the little girl who was requested to refrain from some wrong act in which she very much wished to indulge that once. When told how sinful it was, she replied, “Can’t I confess?” Thus I began to reason. But soon the question was asked, “What will be done with the names; and what will be the result provided the pledge is broken?” It was stated that “the names would be sent to Washington; and if a pledge was broken, the name would be crossed from the roll.” A thought of the dishonor which would thus be involved settled the question with me. “If I sign,” thought I, “I will never break the pledge.”

Again, some one inquired if drinking sweet cider would be a violation of the pledge. “No,” said the speaker, “sweet cider is the juice of worms and rotten apples; and it is not breaking the pledge to eat rotten apples or drink the juice of worms.” I then signed the pledge, my appetite for sweet cider being considerably lessened. By signing, I became a member of the “Cold Water Army,” and received a silk badge, upon which were inscribed these words,

“So here we pledge perpetual hate To all that can intoxicate.”

A few evenings since, I renewed this pledge. I have ever been a firm believer in the principles set forth in the first pledge, and hence did not sign the second with the intention of changing my principles in regard to temperance, but thinking by this act I might cast an influence on the side of right which would tend to rescue the fallen.

May God speed the principles of true temperance reform. S. N. HASKELL.

Sign the Pledge: American Health and Temperance Association

SIGN THE PLEDGE.—Immediate steps will be taken by the Executive Committee of the Association to secure the circulation of the pledge in all parts of the United States, by which means it is to be hoped that the membership may speedily be increased to at least 10,000.

Every reader of the REVIEW ought to become a member at once. Those who wish to do so may send for blank pledges for signature. After signing, the pledges should be returned with twenty-five cents, the initiation fee, when the individual will become a member of the Association, and will be entitled to all the privileges of members.

Address, “American Health and Temperance Association,” Battle Creek, Mich.

Work for Young and Old.

Everybody can help in this glorious work of reform. Young people, especially, who are ambitious to do something for humanity will find here a grand opportunity. Join the American Health and Temperance Association and circulate the pledges. Any young man or woman who wishes to take a course in Battle Creek College can earn a scholarship in a short time by getting signers to the first two pledges mentioned in the Constitution. Only 1000 names are required, and this number can soon be obtained in almost any community. How many will enter heartily into this work?

Association to Discuss True Temperance at Next Meeting

At the next meeting of the Association the question of True Temperance will be discussed. Ten members have been appointed to speak upon the question. A good choir, assisted by an organ and a fine cornet player, will provide excellent music for the occasion, as at the last meeting.

Purpose of Penalty: Public Good, Not Correction

The murderer is not hung for his benefit, to correct him, i. e., to set him right. He is punished—has the penalty executed upon him—for the public good, not to make him a better man. It is a great mistake to suppose that penalty, in any “stage,” is properly called chastisement. Penalty is a purely legal word, and has not an element of grace in it.—Sel.
