Temperance Address Given To Local
Mennonite Folk by Elgin McKinley
At the Sunday evening service
of the Zurich Mennonite Church,
Mr. Elgin McKinley spoke on
"Temperance and the Canada
Temperance Act." Scripture ref-
erences used were Proverbs 23:
19-21, 29-35 and Romans 13: 8-14.
The following is the text of Mr.
McKinley's address:
"Each one of us has an influence
on others whether good or bad.
Parents that drink alcoholic bev-
erages often have children that
follow the parents' example, and
often with tragic results, and then
there is also the question of being
"my brother's keeper", we do have
a responsibility to those around

"The act does not prohibit the
bringing into the county of al-
coholic beverages, to be consumed
in a person's home, by himself
and his family.
"The liquor interests are very
anxious to have more liquor out-
lets in Huron and Perth, to in-
crease the sale of their products,
for it is proven all over the coun-
try that the more outlets there
are the greater are the sales.
"While it may be a good thing
to remove temptation from before
the people—the victory only will
be won by proper education in
the hone — the church and the
school.
"In the United States, liquor
can be freely obtained in hotels,
restaurants, beer parlors, even in
the grocery stores, to be carried
home as any other beverage and
many people think this an ideal
method, but what do we find;
"United States leads the world
in alcoholism, followed by France
and Sweden, close behind, There
are now close to five million al-
coholics in the United States. Al-
coholism is the number three

"Number one is heart disease,—
if I could offer you tonight a
formula to guarantee that you will
never get heart disease, I am sure
all of you would try the remedy,
and even pay a good sum for the
us.
"The Canada Temperance Act
is an act to prohibit the legal sale
of alcoholic beverages, but does
give considerable liberty as to its
use. Some of our citizens do abuse
these liberties, and so at the pres-
ent time there are amendments in
the hands of the Secretary of
State, to be acted on by the cab-
inet."
Suggested amendments are as
follows;
1. That the possession of un-
sealed containers of intoxicating
beverages in public places be pro-
hibited. (Except when enroute
from one legal residence to an-
other.)
2. That the consumption or pos-
session of intoxicating beverages
brought into the county in accord-
ance with Part 2 of the Canada
Temperance Act be limited to
one's residence,
3. That the supply to or use of
by persons under twenty-one years
of age be prohibited.
4. That a right of appeal to a
higher court from the decision of
a magistrate be provided for.
5, That the provisions for search
warrants under the Aet be extend-
ed to motor vehicles.
