Report of the Temperance Com- mittee of the Presbylely of P.E.l. for 1891-

Your temperance committee beg leave to report as follows: The number of turns received is not by my "533 5”” factory. Out of 32 sent out. only 20 have returned to the convener. this re. turn has been made on the blank furnish- ed laatyear. The failure of so many sessions toreqaond to the questions of the committee '3 a matter of annual com- plaint. There may be some 31585‘ °‘°“3° on thepart of vacant cougrextl-300! £01’ neglect in th'n matter, but settledcharges are inexcusable. Of the latter class the following have sent in no report: Clifton, and Montrose, Granville, Brookiield, Fast St. Peters, Souris; no report has been received from any of the vacancies. The material from which your committee must compile their re- port is defective. and therefore the report will be much less valuable than if we had returns from every session.

The reports received are generally hopeful in their tune. and speak of pro- gress in the right direction. but your committee would point out to the Pres- bytery that the repeal of the Scott Act in the City of Charlottetown has ‘ evidently stimulated the liquor trade, and revived to some extent the drink- ing habits of the people. The foe that we are fighting has gained a vantage ground, from which all temper- ance workers should strive to dislodge him assoon as possible. The condition of afairs in the sapital at the present time has a weakening and demo:-sliz7ng efieot upon the whole province. Char- lottetown is now a centre from which liquor is distributed through the country. From this strategic point‘ the enemy is making inroads in var- ious directions. Our young men, in coming to the city, are exposed to grater temptations than formerly. There

' .. need for increased wstchfulness and

efiort all along the line. A return to the regime of the “Canada Temperance Act” in the city, as soon as practicable, would he s great gain for our cause. ‘

(1) The first question asked of sessions is, “Please state the causes that, in your opinion, have produced the improvements during the last twenty years in the drink- ing customs and temperance sentiment within your bounds.” I

The causes assigned in the snswefl. may be roughly classified under three

heads: (1) Education (2) Organization (3)

Legislation. Among the educational influences, the majority of the returns give a foremost place to the teaching of the pulpit. The gospel of Christ is the mightiest power making for rigbtiousness of which we have any knowledge. It sweetone and heals the fountains of human life. It quickens and renews the con- science, and therefore influences conduct most powerfully. S. S. instruction is spoken of as important. The child is lather of the man. Sow the seed of truth in the understanding and conscience of the young, and you will reap a rich har- vest in the coming generation The platform also comes in fora share of credit, in the advances that have been

exist among us, haves noble record of work done, of battles fought and victories achieved. We bid them (ldspeed in their earnest r-ndeavours Ministers and church-members are among their most- active and successful workers. WONG“ have ever occupied an honorable and use- ful position in the temperance ranks. We believe the W. C. '1‘. L’. to be one of the most edective organizations of the present day, perhaps the one most dreaded by the liquor-trallic. We 5601 that every congregation ought to give prominence to temperance, in its work for God and man . The church of God is the most powerful organization to crush the hydra-headed monster of intemper- ance, if she will only wisely direct and effectively use her power. The decisions of our church courts on the various asp°cls of this question, ought in form a part of the program of CUI'.:.,'l‘92at»imi. We cannot all‘-rd in lo- indifierent in this matter 'l'h«- liquor lrallic is one of the most deadly foes of the church. The church's safely and success compel aggressive uinvcunont against this deadly foe The warfare against the saloon affords a field for the united effort of the different denomina- tional regiments of the army of Christ, and we are glad to find, that in some in- stances, there has been a united furwapd movement against th-« common ‘enemy with gratifying results. ' (3). According to most of ill» reports improved lcgisl .tiun has c vmributcd I 0* a little to the advance in temprsnco sentiment and practic-, by re-m-zving temptation out of the way, and putting the ban of_the law upon the trsllic. The “Canada Temperance Act" is uni!'nrml_\' commended as a restrictive m.-«s-urn. Its better enforcement, where it is already in operation, and its re-enactment in the capital of our Province, should enlist faithful eflbrt and co-operation on the part of all tempersuca 'worln.-rs. One session has assigned at cause of improve- ment which wedu not ln «iv vtry well how to classify, except it should be put under the head of educdi--nsl influences, viz.. bud rum. If the evil one has over-

Worli Hf t.'\" I’_\'

reached himself in this respect we ought to be very thankful. We tad the idea that all rum is ind; but if there is a good kivd, and it is t:I1f8\‘ul‘¢tl-lt‘ tn temperance, by all means let us have the bad We are afraid, however, that “bad rum” is nots good promoter of the temperance CIIIIO.

2. The second question proposed to stssions is: “In how many places in your community is liquor sold by license l What proportion do they bear to the population I Has the illicit sale increased or decreased l” There is no license act within our bounds. The whole of our Province, except Char! vttetown, is under the C. T. A. Since the repeal of the C. T. A. in Charlottetown the sale there has been unrestricted.

In regard to the illicit traffic there is a variety of testimony. Some say “that there is in illicit trallic within their bounds;” others say “that it has greatly decressed;" one, “that it has slightly diminished;" another, “on the whole it has decreased, but usually about Xmas and New Year there is an outburst on the part of the illicit veudorsz" another, “on the borderlawl there are one or two illegal places ”—an undefined, and it would ap. pear. somewhat spirituous region;-— another, “the illicit sale is very trifling;” another, “we have two places where ‘beer ’ is sold: one has been convicted of a violation of the C. T. .-L, and we hope soon to succeed in closing them both."

Judging from the reports, the illicit trsflic seems to be kept pretty well in check. Perpetual vigilance is the price of safety. Like the builders on the wall of Jerusalem in Nehemish'sdsy, while we make our prayer unto our God, we must set a watch day and night against these crafty fool of our happinesssnd prosperity.

3. The‘ third question is :

shop to have on the general life of your community 2 " We have no licensed sa- loons within our :.bounds,‘5but. there is a unanimous testimony as to the effects of liquor drinking wherever it manifests it. self. It corrupts the morals, produces religious indifference. causes domestic

misery, leads‘ men away from the house-

of God, is the fruitful mother of poverty, disease and crime, is one of the most po- tent agencies the devil has ever devised for the overthrow of manhood, the ruin of home, the destruction of the social fa- bric and the downfall of nations.

4. The fourth question is : “ What has been done to secure the teaching of tam. perance .’- Is it now taught '? a" Little or nothing has been done by sessions as such for the introduction of the teaching of temperance into our public Sclluola, some progress, however, has been made in this direction. The temperance organizations in the Province have held conferences

A “ What _ ‘effects have you found the saloon or dram-

question. Temperance sbrmon! have hot!!! preached. Those addicted to drinking

lhabits have been solemnly warned. The

members of the church have been earner“;- ly exhorted as to their duty to practice total abstinence and use their influence for the overthrow of the trafiic. In Ssh- bath schools and Bible classes much has been done t-o infuse true temperance prin- ciples into the minds of the young and thus to train up in our churches bench of young men and women who will be stur- dy opponents of the saloon and faithful supporters of the temperance cause. In some of our schools the pledge has been taken by many of the scholars and your Com. would advocate the extension of this work as a most. hopeful way of strengthening and extending this noble cause. . By one or two of our pastors the pledge has sbo been administered to adults. One report says ml this point : "During the past year ll number of yuurg uwn and some old men have, on bended knee, seeking help from on high, pledged themselves to ob- stain from the use of intoxicating liquors. The solemn impressiveness of a pledge, which becomes a prayer, has been found very helpful.” Your committee feel that effort along this line of prayerful dealing with individuals, would yield rich and blessed results.

Temperance meetings have been held in some of our congregations, where ad- drees,prsyer and cor g have all been made to bear upon arousing interest in the tem- perance worlr, and impressing upon the people the position of the church in llle great moral warfare. Such f_{l\lll9l‘lllg§l from time to time, under the auspices of our sessions, would be most influential in bracing and tonin; up the sentiment of

the people. Let us all ministers, elders and people,

take a firmputspoken stand on this burn- ing question. Our General Assembly has unfurled the flag with its motto “Total abstinence for the individual; prohibition for the state." Let us rally round the standard. Let there be no truce with the powers of darkness. Let our watchword be “no surrender; no compromise.” Let us fight this deadly foe of home and church and native land, with the two- edged sword of’ right-ous law and gospel truth. Though the light may be long and hard the day of victory will dawn. Our land will yet be free from the clutches of the drink fiend, which has its hand upon

that day of rejoicing and freedom, may it not be said of any of our congregations or of any of our people asit was said of Moms of old “Curse ye Meroz, curse ye bitterly the inhabitants thereof, because they came not up to the help of the Lord, to the help of the Lord against the

mighty." On behalf of the Committee. War. P. Ascnrsam, Convener.
