He showed forth the evils of intemperance to the community-• at large, and the grand and glorious re- sults that would follow by its depres- sion. He referred to some manufac- turing industries in Scotland that will not employ any but total abstainers, proving the statement from a fair point of view. He also encouraged. the Temperance people by saying that they were on the right side of the question.
