- Best to keep control of one's passions

through life, yon would do good, and

' The sixth fermon In , the aerlee on
"Temperance and Obedience tO: Iaw"
was delivered by JRev.,C. T Willing
ham yesterday In the' Flrktr Baptist
church.' He said nfcpart;; '.I , ".--rhe
subject f or jto-nightf a. 'Tem
perance and Obedience to Uaw,' ,. Tem
perance as a word has 'the,', meaning
now that It has had for many years In
the past it means" moderation,' .'Tem
perance denotes moderation In eating',
drinking, reading and. In' J anything.
And it, has come to' be that intempert'
ance, in anything "causes' a feeling ,of
repugnance,. -'c- i I'fRi jf
"Recently (he., word temperance has
come vt navf a new meaning in addi
tion ' to moderation, , .The word new
means total abstinence,: and I do not
hesitate to use it. in this sense In the
discussion 'of the subject to-night -
''I wish to present this subject under
the, double head 'of the Individual .and
temperance' ahd the city and temper
aneei. And I wish to treat each, of
these, divisions from the standpoint of
economy, and morals. , y ,
"Vhen a man begina the habit of
drink be makes a hole In- his pocket
through which a fortune will soon tun.
The habit, ot drink ruins men finan
cially' and lh a short time the man In
good and . Independent clrcumsunces
becomes a pauper. ' .
"And s drink costs man more than
mere; money; It costs' him reputation 1
and character; If we want to insure
ourselves against the loss of money
against the loss of reputation and
character we must refrain from aU 'as
sociation with drink. ' -
"In addition to the economic basia
to .which 'I have referred as a plea
against . Intemperance there is the
moral basis also to be considered.
: "It ,1s said that drink affects the
brain and undermines - the moral na
ture, and I plead with men to abst m
from drink on this account. When
drink controls a man it ie not infre
quent, that other. vices are being In
dulged in as well as drink. It is never
safe to drink intoxicating liquors, even
in a moderate way, for the moderate
drinker. In most Instances becomes the
helpless drunkard. I know that you
say you can cite cases where men have
been tor years moderate, drinkers, and
yet have never t become drunkards.
have never lost money, reputation and
character. I grant there are such ex
ceptions, to the rule, and I am clad
that such cases can be found, but be
cause such, cases exist Is no argument
In favor of intemperance, for where
one man is able to drink moderatelv
and yet not become a drunkard, there
are thousands of men- who are unable
to withstand the power of drink, and
where one remains a moderate drinker
thousands fall Into .the helpless state
of the confirmed drunkard.
Temperance and s the city I wish
to treat' also from in economic and
from a moral basis It is claimed by
some that the citywhich has prohibi
tion laws needs the revenue which
comes from thesale of Intoxicants. It
can easily be shown, however, that the
cost to the city of the cases that rau
be cared for n account of the effects
of whiskey Is more than the revenue
from its. aaW Hence it is best from
an economic basis for the city to have
prohibition,' ,
VAtilt frnm dl mnrfll iitfl.ndiuilnt It In
decidedly best;. It keeps temptation
away fram boya;and raises the moral
standing of the city,,
"Keert the-saloons out of Charlotte
and at; the end of ten years there will
be few drunkards in your city, and
eliminate the , unmoral element. Be
alert, for It will take diligence to keep
the Aaloon out; don't let your victory
be turned to defeat
Vitejoice with those who are trying
get .the tllnd tigers outs of the city.
It will require' diligence ana co-
ration -of sentiment Influence and
eur ballot to keep your city free from
this evil.
"I had Intended to speak also of
Obedience to law' also, but I will give
only the outline of what I was to sav
on that part Of the subject, as my time
has been occupied with the subject of
temperance.
"1. .We must obey ; the law our
selves. '
"2. We must see that the law la en
forced. '
"9. Shall we bribe men with liquor
to keep one law, when by Its use they
are led to break many moreT No,
never,.. ,,
"Keep prohibition laws In this city,
and In ten . years you will have more
pride In the elty than you now have,"
