Sons of Temperance Call for Public Support in Reform Effort
The appeal argues for temperance work and secrecy as a virtue not vice. It defends the Sons of Temperance as a benevolent, Christian society promoting abstinence and welfare, urging pastors to join and boost the movement from Atlantic to Pacific. The piece cites rapid growth since 1842 and pledges charitable relief for distressed members.
