Temperance Shock on a Quiet Sunday
A wealthy young man with $30,000 inheritance arrived drunk at his family home in a clean city street. He wore no coat or hat, clothing torn and dirt smeared, blood streaming from head wounds, a horrifying sight on the Sabbath at his mother’s house. The piece blasts wine drinking and temperance advocates.

A Washingtonian pledge tale of temperance reform
A Maine lecture recounts a Washingtonians pledge night with a veteran drinker renouncing alcohol and a boy asking for his father’s name, illustrating reform zeal. A joiner’s daughter endures hardship as the pledge prompts a moral reckoning and a man notes the financial ruin from drinking.
Temperance Pledge urged to mobilize Washingtonians
The article argues for proactive temperance work beyond signing the pledge, urging Washingtonians to attend meetings weekly and bring others. It condemns passive adherents and stresses total abstinence, highlighting dangers of rum, societal hostility to reform, and invoking historical anecdotes to galvanize action. It promotes industry and outreach to defeat the drink trade and support suffering families.
