Temperance Song of the Host and the Prayer Note
The piece presents a temperance anthem declaring a rising host of over fifty thousand freed from chains and pledges, praising water from springs and urging abstinence. It follows a request for a prayer over a song, urging spiritual action against Bacchanals and urging reform across society. It cites the Washingtonian movement and argues temperance rests on religion, benevolence, and self-interest.
