Temperance Report Strong Document At Sarepta Baptist Meeting
The Sarepta Baptist Association in Elberton heard a highly praised temperance report read by Judge Andrew J. Cobb. The broad view defines temperance as restraint across life, conduct, and appetites, not merely abstinence from alcohol, and links it to scriptural virtue and social order. It urges overcoming excess, promotes respect for authority, and condemns intemperance as a social ill.
