TEMPERANCE.

An Interesting Address on Tem- perance by Mr. Justice Young of P. E. Island.

The announcement in the Times of Sat- urday that the Hon. Judge Young of P. E. Island, would address the Temperance meeting in the Hall on Steadman street yesterday afternoon, drew out a large and inteiligent andience. There was some little difticuly in securing seats for the crowd, but some extra benches were brought in and the majority were seated. The Rev. Mr. Browd presided over the meeting which was opened with singing, reading of

the scriptures and prayer by Rev. Mr. Colpitts. “Mr. Young, in opening, spoke of the

pleasure it gave him tu see the Temperance feeling in Moncton so great as to bring eut such an audience as was present. He said some of the brethren had taken it upon themselves to announce in the press that he would be the speaker of the afternoon, without first consutting him, and in this connection related an anecdote of how he had been taken by surprise at-one time in St. John, where he had suddenly been called onto preach, the person doing su remarking that a Methodist local preacher should be always ready to ‘‘shake a sermon out of his coat sleeve.” He said he would have to shake his remarks out of his coat- sleeve on the present occasion. The speak- er went on to tell the audience of the way in which he had been’ converted to total abstinence. In the year 1845 he was seated in his chambers in Charlottetown, it so happened busily engaged in mak- ing out a marriage license, when he was waited on by a Committee from a total abstinence society with a request te lecture on the subject of temperance. He at first refused to lecture on temperance, from principle, not being a total abstainer himself, but offered to give a lecture on moderation. His offer was accepted, after consultation, and he asked the committee which waited on him for some work bear-

‘ing on the subject. The committee gave ‘him a book containing evidence given by

physicians before the English House of Commons. He read the book, became con- vinced of the correctness of the principles of total abstinence, and, instead of lecturing on ‘‘ moderation,” he lectured on * total abstinence.” He then took the total ab- stinence pledge, and subscribed his name, “‘Charles Young,—ror wre.” He had kept this pledge for thirty-four years, and, with God’s help, he intended to keep it for life. He might also add that at the meet- ing at which he spoke and signed the pledge, nearly two-thirds of the audience also signed.

Some might question the fact that the Temperance cause was making progress, but of this there could be no doubt. in 1843, he said, when travelling, the first object that: would meet’ your eye on entering a hotel would be the words,“ bar-room,” and liquor was’ regularly on the tables. During the past tive weeks he had travelled 5000 miles in the United States and Can- ada, and he had not seen a drop of liquor at one of the hotel tables. The hotels were ashamed of their bars and stuck them away down cellar. If a traveller wanted to find the bar in a first-class hotel now, he would have to go the rounds of clerks and waiters - before he could do so. The Temperence cause had been the means of turning upside down the customs and fashions of the day, and while it had not produced total abstin- ence with all, there could be no doubt that it had done much within a few years. He passed in review the historyof the Temperance cause from before Christ tothe present day, and then said that to say the Temperance cause had made ne progress, was a libei. He urged all to work for the further suc- cess of the cause—work first for ourselves, he said and then for our brother. If there were any present who had not taken the pledge, he urged such to do so, and then go abroad and do good for his neigh- bor.

Judge Young referred to recent temper- ance legislation in the Dominion, and said the Permissive Biilhad been passed in all the constituencies on the tight little Island— the garden of America. He considered this measure but the entering wedge, and he felt sure prohibition would follew. What he had said was red hot from the fountain, and, in conclusion, he would ask if there were any present who were not total abstainers, and if there were any such let them stand up. At this stage, one eld gentleman in the centre of the room stood up, and, at an invitation to go forward and sign the pledge, did so. The scene was quite affecting.

After the signing of the pledge had been gotten through with, D. B. Lindsay, Esy., moved a vote of thanks, which was sec- onded by an unknown gentleman in the audience, and unanimously passed by the audience rising to their feet. The vote was then tendered by the chairman, and was replied to. Afterwards the Rev. Mr. Col- pitts made a few remarks, which were well received, and the meeting closed.
