Synopsis
Excerpt from Scriptural Temperance: A Sermon, Delivered in the Hollis Meeting-House, Boston, on Boston, Ok Nov, Day, Nov
The author of the present sermon foresees, of course, that he Will be censured by some persons as laggard and recreant in the work of true Reform, to which he professes himself a hearty well-wisher. You find fault With what others are doing, it may be said; Why do you not propose something of your own? This is a common criticism upon those who take exception to actual methods. I reply first, Better do nothing than do wrong. Are there any Who say, Doing nothing is doing wrong. I reply, It may be so; but that is no excuse whatsoever for doing wrong. Do something, if duty requires, but do it rightly. Very fervent men are quite too apt to think that nothing IS done, unless their favorite course is pursued. To a discreet mind it will, I think, be fully appar ent, that the most solid means of influence ln favor of Reform are all admissible without contravention of the principles exhibited in this sermon.

Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a dissection of an important debate from the 19th century United States, where various reform movements clamored for societal change. The author, a religious leader of the time who identifies as a well-wisher of true Reform, critically examines the methods of some reformers. He argues that although their aims were in many ways noble, their strategies were counterproductive, and the intemperance of their rhetoric was an obstacle to meaningful change. He advocates for temperance in all things, not merely in one's consumption of alcohol but also in the pursuit of social change. By analyzing the approaches of abolitionists, prohibitionists, and other groups of reformers, the book presents a nuanced perspective on the complexities of social change and underscores the necessity for thoughtful, rational, and compassionate approaches to societal issues. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9780259002765_0
