Temperance sermon argues for non alcoholic wine in communion
A Bristol paper edition describes a lecturer urging Bible based moral instruction in schools, condemning intoxicating beverages at the Lord's Supper and promoting pure grape wine for communion. The discourse surveys church practice, temperance reform, and historical scriptural references while noting public proceedings and a maritime charity concert. The piece also covers the arrival of British minister Vestal and other local civic matters. It includes a Seminole convert narrative from Philadelphia and arcs into missionary letters from Arkansas. The tone is moralistic and era specific to 1844 New England.
