Excerpt from An Address Delivered Before the Springfield Washington Temperance Society: At the Second Presbyterian Church, on the 23d Day of February, 1842 Although the Temperance Cause has been in progress for near twenty years, it is apparent to all, that it is just now being crowned with a degree of success, hitherto unparalleled. The list of its friends is daily swelled by the additions of fifties, of hun dreds, and of thousands. The cause itself seems suddenly transformed from a cold abstract theory, to a living, breathing, active and powerful Chieftain, going forth conquering and to conquer. The citadels of his great adversary are daily being stormed and dismantled; his temples and… his altars, where the rites of his idolatrous worship have long been performed, and where human sacrifices have long been wont to be made, are daily dese crated and deserted. The trump of the conquerer's fame is sounding from bill'to hill, from sea to sea, and from land to land, and calling millions to his standard at a blast. For this new and splendid success, we heartily rejoice. That, that success is so much greater now, than heretofore, is doubtless owing to rational causes; and if we would have it continue, we shall do well to inquire what those causes are.
