The Evils of Intemperance and Its
Consequences.
By special request, that the follow
ing sermon by Rev. J. J. Meyers, de
jivered before a large audience at
Fellowship Baptist church, Clarendon
county, on the 1st Sunday of Nov., be
furnished the THE MANNING TIMvs for
publication:
I appear before you today to advo
cate the cause of Temperance, and to
plead with all my soul for a dying
world and fallen humanity. My only
object and purpose at this time is, to
enforce the claims of fearful numbers
of perishing men, by some plain and
simple, yet practical arguments which
have affected my own mind, and
stirred my heart to its very depth.
Standing before you, I desire to lift
the voice of warning against the most
damning evil of the age, the all body
and soul distroying plague, "The
evil of intemperance." And in doing
so, I have chosen a few verses of scrip
ture for a basis of my remarks, and
as a leading standpoint of a living
argument that will support and bear
me out in this discussion, in both,
the defence of temperance, and
qaainst intemperance, and just here,
let L4 say, that I do not propose to
treat tha subject before us as a more
matter for argument sake-as many
do and make harm of it-neither do
I propose to discuss the question sim
ply from conjecture or supposition to
accomplish the purpose and end of
this cluestion; no! for there can be
no real profit whatever, or satisfac
tion derived from guess work, with
out proof and sound matter of facts.
I tell you, that there is no pay or
profit, to stand before men, and con
sume time by telling them, it is
wrong and a curse to drink whiskey;
or that it is right to abstain from its
use, without practical proof, neither
does it pay to attempt to discuss
grave questions, on sacred thing~s, or
unfold truths and realities as they
may seemingly appear or exist from a
human standpoint of thinking with
out absolute proof from the word of
God.
Conjecture upon conjecture, and
supposition upon supposition, how
ever plausable, respecting this great
question that is now agitating men's
minds, can avail very little, if any
thing, in the accomplishment of its
end, that God has designed apart
from his own prescribed way and
teaching, and as revealed in his own
inspired word. Favor or approba
tion fails; superficial pleasing or not
pleasing fails; no display at oratory,
or anything else that human ingenui
ty can devise; can possibly avail or
accomplish that good, without proof.
Genuine lasting impressions are never
made upon men's minds, or questions
properly unfolded; unless they have
proof to back them, and simple argu
ment based on simple fact. There
fore we propose now in this address,
to prove what is said by this "word
of truth;" and by practical reasoning,
sober thought, and simple common
sense argument; we trust that good
may come; and thus settle the ques
tion, that so intensely concerns you
and me and all,both for time and eter
ni'y.
Our text may be found; Prov. 23:
20 21, 29--32. I remark that the
gcspel of Jesus Christ, is a huge tem
p)erance sermon from first to last, his
veiy life is the center, around which
the entire gospel sheds forth its life
healing and life-giving power; a blaz
ing epistle of example, warning and
admonition to mankind, so here let
us heed it.
No question perpaps, has so agi
tated and stirred the hearts of the peo
in all the centuries past as the cause
of temperance now pending in this
great 19th century. All good peo
ple, lovers of God and humanity,
without distinction name or order,
throughout the land, are actively en
gaged in the prosecution of this great
work upon which human happiness,
to a very large extent rests. And

and ends in contempt finaly and
eternally, alarming to contemplate,
that the king of pleasure, is the pleas
ure seeking in the bowl. Men de
light to quaff the liquor cup to their
full, and disipate the hours in mid
night revelry; they drink, and are
now satisfied without the burning,
craving thirst that calls for more still,
their chief joy is to resort where the
accursed stuff and firery liquid is bar
tered away in fearful quantity and
measure, that craves and destroys
every sensibility and being itself.
Listen to this: the man who loves his
bowl, his egg-nog, his toddy, his
dram, his puneb, his bitters or what
not; needs no better proof and argu
ment, picture or story to illustrate
the fearful fact of its sad and painful
consequences, than that of his own
individual experience. The experi
ence of all wine lovers, amounts to
this, and this only: "Wine is a mock
er, strong drink is raging; he that
loveth such pleasure, shall not be
rich, he shall be a poor man." Again,
verses, 29-32. Every wickedness
brings mischief with it, especially
strong drink, which leads to so many
evils. But who is the man that es
pecially draws on himself all manner
of sorrows and inconveniences, both
in soul, body and estate? Who is
the man that raiseth quarels, and
contentions upon every trifle? Who
is he that is full of idle, absence and
unsavory words? Who is he that in
distempered frays gets stripes and
wounds? Who is he that afflicts his
eyes with defluctions and inflama
tions? Who is he that when he is
drunk, say and do, what he would not
even dare, when he is scber? Ah! it
is he "who geeth to seek mixed wine
and tarry long at the bowl," Sad
truths. "Wine is a mocker, strong
drink is raging; and whosoever is de
ceived thereby, is not wise." Here
comes the warning, the sad illustra
tion of the trusts: that strong drink
of any and every kind, when improp
erly used, throws down the fences of
reflection, fear, and shame; excites
men to profane mockery of things
holy and sacred; to revile the most
peaceable and respectable characters;
to ridicule or reproach their best
friends; to commit the greatest out
rages; to embroil themselves in riots
and quarels; to gratify the basest
lusts, or to commit the most rash and
ruinous crimes; and the satisfaction
expected from it mocks and deludes
the poor drunkard.
Be assured, drunkenness or wine
drinking is an enemy to wisdom, even
in common things; much more in
those of everlasting consequence.
But Again, read verses 29-32. Alas!
who has more misery and sorrow than
his neighbors? Who is always en
gaged in riots, fightings, duels or
law-suits? Who is frequently cover
ed with bruises, or laid up with dan
gerous wounds, when neither called
to defend himself, his friends, nor
his country? Who carries the marks
of his distempered body, in the red
ness of his eyes, and in his bloated
countenance? Do you not see at
once my fellow creatures, the force
of this truth; that these are t-be
wretched distinctions of those "that
tarry long at the wine, that go to seek
mixed wine." Should there be one or
more who sit under my voice, addict
ed to the evil habit of strong drink,
0! let me entreat you beware of the
serpent that lurks at the bottom of
the cup; beware of contracting the
habit of wine drinking beyond the
bounds of strict temperance, it is
extremely, fearfully dangerous +o
tamper with anything that goes
through the mouth into the body
under the name of wine, whiskey,
bitters or what not, that has the
slightest tendency to intoxicate. The
wine may sparkle in the glass, and
appear beautiful to the eye; and
drunken poets may write very ingen
ious things in praise of it, and say
there is no harm etc. It may please
the palate, and exhilerate the mind
for a moment; but "at last it biteth
like a serpent, and stingeth like an
adder:" It infiames the passions, fits
them for every hateful crime; it ruins
a man's constitution and character,
and tends to beggar his family, it is
an incentive to the basest lusts, and
causes many to fall into that deep
ditch and narrow pit, from which so
few ever escape with their lives;
making them an easy prey to those
lower "hells" who lie in in wait for
them to destroy, and wthose constant
employment it is, to "increase the
transgressors among men;" Ah! it
leads a man, without precaution to
run himself into unnumbered dan
gers and unexpected death, and yet
it facinates him in such a love for
whiskey-his cruel oppressor and his
galling claims-that he only sleeps to
recruit himself, that when he awakes
he may return to it, his distructive
indulgence again, (35 v.) Who then
with common sense, would contract
such a habit, or sell himself to an in
iquity, which tends to such accumu
lated guilt and misery, and exposes a
man every day to the danger of dying
intoxicated, and waking up in depair?
Thus the wisdom of God warns men
against this common but 'fatal vice
(31, 32, v.) Truly it is written: "Wine
is a mocker, strong drink is raging."
And again, "woe unto them, says
God, "that rise up early in the morn
ing, that they may follow strong
drink; that continue until night, till
wine inflame them!" "And the harp,
and the viol, the tabset and pipe, and
wine, are in their feasts; but, they re
gard not the work of the Lord, neith
er consider the operation of his hands,
Woe unto them that are mighty to
drink wine, and men of strength to
mingle strong drink," (Isa 5. 11. 12.
22.)
Oh my people! let me declare it,
God help me proclaim it, that intem
perance means nothing more or less
than degradation in the most con
ceivable form. There is no sin which
doth more deface God's image than
drunkenness. It disguiseth a man
and even unmans him. It is the very
shame of nature itself, the destroyer

of reason, the very shipwreck of char
ity and the murder of conscience.
Christian people, what are we do
ing in the way of heading off this
awful currant of iniquity? We often
speak out and cry aloud of the evils
of the times that are hurrying souls
to eternal death. We speak of this,
that and the other evil, and say this
is the greatest, that and the other
the greater; but let me say and
confess freely, calmly, soberly and
conscientiously, that wine and strong
drink, drunkenness, is the greatest
curse of this country and blot on our
civilization. The monster liquor traf
fic is an institution, the very capitol,
so to speak, of satan's empire on
earth and hell. Liquor selling anl
liquor drinking is the greatest iniq
uity and shame of the country and of
the age. Let us see:
First-Liquor traffic produces sor
row, suffering and starvation. That
alone means a great deal.
Second-Drinking results in dis
ease, death and daniLation. That
means more than a great deal. There
is no possible way of evading this
awful truth. Just here let us notice
some plain figures, estimates and
facts respecting the cost of intenper
ance.
It is estimated beyond a shadow of
doubt, with no exagaeration, that
more than four hundrad and ninety
million gallons of spirituous liquors
are drank in this country annually,
which, if loaded upon thirty-foot
teams holding ten barrels each, would
reach quite or nearly seven thousand
miles. The annual cost of over a
million paupers made by intemper
ance amounts to about fifty million
dollars; of the insanity resulting from
it, about fifteen million dollars; ex
pense to the country of the crimes
committed by it is over forty-five
million dollars. Add to these amounts
the cost of the liquor, about a billion
or more of dollars; the value of the
grain, sugar and property destroyed,
the labor lost and the sickness in hos
pitals and we have the estimated
enormous amount of one billion six
hundred and fifty million dollars an
nually expended in this country for
this body and soul-destroying curse.
Ah! we raise our voices in denounc
ing crime, and warn the people
against sin; we speak out freely
against murder and viIated law,
against Sabbath-breakint,, extortion
and deception, bad government, po
litical trickery and fraud and so on;
are we not apprised of the alarming
truth that liquor traffic and drinking
are mainly the outgrowth of these
evils that is setting this fair earth on
fre of hell-the withering, blighting
curse of alcohol? Behold the evil
itself and the consequences that fol
low. Shall I attempt to describe it?
No! Perhaps no one can better an
swer the question more truly than a
learned and prominent lawyer at the
bar in one of the courts of New York,
pleading for "temperance," setting
forth its evils and consequences. I
shall here quote a few of his striking
words. He said:
"Intemperance cuts down youth in
its vigor, manhood in its strength
and age in its weakness. It breaks
the father's heart, bereaves the dot
ing mother, extinguishes natural af
fection, crazes conjugal love, blots out
filial attachments, blights parental
hope and brings down mourning age
in sorrow to the grave. It produces
weakness, not strength; sickness, not
health; death, not life. It makes
wives widows, children orphans and
fathers fiends, and all of these panI
pers and beggars. It feeds rheuma
tism, nurses gout, welcomes epidemic,
invites cholera, imports pestilence
and embraces consumption. It cov
ers the land, this fair and beautiful
world with idleness, mnisery and
crime. It fills our jails, supplies our
almshouses and crowds our asylums.
It is the life-blood of the; gambler,
the stronghold of the burglar, the
prop of the highwayman and the
support of the midnight incendiary.
It countenances the liar, respects the
thief, esteems the bold plasphemer.
It violates obligations, loves frauds
and honors infamy. It incites the
father to butcher his helpless off
spring, the husband to slay his wife,
the child to grind the suicidal axe to
take the innocent blood. It burns up
men, consumes women, detests life,
curses God and despises heaven.
"Again, it nurses perjury, defiles
the jury box and stains the judiciary.
It degrades the citizen, debases the
legislator, dishonors the statesman,
disarms the patriot. It brings shame,
not honor; misery, not happiness;
terror, not safety; despair, not hope.
It poisons the sweetness of home,
kills peace, ruins morals, blights con
fidence, slays reputation, wipes out all
honor, then curses the world and
laughs at its ruin."
It does all that, my fiiends, and
more. Let me say, it murders the
soul, it is the sum of all villainies, the
father of all crimes, the mother of
abominations, the devil's best friend
and God's worst enemy.
Tell mue then, is not the liquor traf
fic and drinking the very king or evil
that is making fearful h'ivoc and a
sure death shot to peace, society, vir
tue, morals and to human happiness
in general? Our country's best in
terests are in jeopardy and hang
over the vortex of destruction. Yea,
the blighting, withering curse of alco
hol now threatens to engulf our loved
State, Carolina. Her once fair and
proud name is now not so well loved1
and honored by her own sons wvho
are loyal to God and truth. Her
State "dispensary has already proven
itself an iniquitous institution, a
shame and blot on her civilization.
Whiskey in all shapes and forms and
disguises is being sold all over the
country, filling the land with sorrow
and crime. Bleeding hearts and
wr etched homes and blasted lives and
pauperized children stand in fearful
numbers as an evidence of the curse,
and are calling and pleading in their
most desperate necessity for relief
and salvation from the evil.
The voices of wives, mothers and
sisters throughout the land rend the
skies for the outpouring of heaven's
curse upon this monster whiskey bus
iness, under which may be found the
wreck of husband, father, brot~her,
The Appetite of a Goat
Is envied by all poor 'lyspeptics whose
stomach and liver are ont of order. All
such sh'ould know tbat Dr. King's New
Life Pills, the wonderful stomach and liver
remedy, gives a splendid appetite, sound
digestion and a regular bodily habit that
insures perfect health and great energy.
son. The world is full of weeping
and heavy hearted Rachels, crying
for their children who have perished
by this worse "massacre" than that of
Bethlehem. Homes far and wide
may be found presenting the sad and
painful picture of broken-hearted
mother, sister, pouring out their
heartaches in bitter wailings and
lamentations over the fallen husband,
father, son and brother-fallen under
this blighting curse.
Many a father has gone and stood
before the grated bars of the prison
cell and looked upon the boy of his
pride and there wrung his hands in
agony as the sad picture of disgrace
was being presented to his eye. Ah,
the world is full of mourning Davids,
bending over drunkards' graves,
pouring out the soul-bleeding cry,
"Would God I had died for thee; oh,
Absolom, my son, my son!" The
voice of many mothers may be heard
in homes desolate and sad, exclaim
ing as the heart would break, in lan
guage too tender and full
"Where is my wandlering boy tonight?
The boy of my tenderest care,
The boy that was once my joy and light,
The child of my love and care."
In conclusion, let me add this
much, my closing words, to all:
Avoid as you would a plague this
fearful destroyer of peace, health, life,
body and soul. And as you value
character, happiness and the approval
of God or man, "Look not upon the
wine when it is red," for be assured,
as you "tarry long at the wine and go
to seek mixed wine, so sure will be
seen the handwriting upon the wall."
Oh, shall the record be, "Found want
ing," or shall it be, found trusting?
while that hand is writing-writing
on the wall.
Shakespeare, on the spirit of wine,
said: "0 thou invincible wine, if thou
hast no name to be known by, let us
call thee 'devil."' Shakespeare is
right, and it is alarming to know the
lamentable truth that this "devil"
may be seen in the Christian church.
So here I would sound out another
kneynote of warning to church mem
bers--be it ashamed to such who
drink whiskey; that it is the reputa
ble Christian wine drinkers who are
the men who send forth from the
high places of society, and sometimes
even fromn the portals of the sanctu
ary an unsuspected, unrebuked, but
powerful influence which is secretly
and silently doing on every side
among the young, the aged, among
the females, its work of death.
In God's name, my brother, let the
deadly serpent alone. Hear your
Saviour speaking to you: "Take heed
to yourselves, lest at any time your
hearts be overcharged with surfeiting
and drunkenness and cares of this
life and so that day come upon you
unawares." "For as a snare shall it
come on them that dwell on the face
of the whole earth." Remember,
brother man, that the church of Jesus
Christ is the great bulwark that
shields our Christian civilization
against anarchy and intemperance,
with its train of lawlessness and barbe
rism. And, aside from all per'sonal
considerations, it would seem to be
evident that the public morals and
the public weal would be best pro
moted by a great temperance reform.
When whiskey men and dispensa
ries are made to see their error in
dealing out the accursed stuff to their
fellowmen; that it is wrong to deal
in an article so damnable and de
grading to society; made to see that
it is unjust, contrary to law, reason
and conscience to sell it; made to see
that he is a traitor and enemy to
peace and good will; enemy to vir
tue, morals and human happiness,
and is an abuser of all that is holy,
sacred and divine, then the day of
joy, peace, good will and prosperity
will sureiy come to our now distracted
land.
No man or institution can be rec
ognized by a people loyal to God and
truth; to be a friend, citizen, neigh
bor and well-wisher to the country's
welfare-who deals in whiskey and
sells it to sons and fathers and h::us
bands and neighbors.
"Sawmills don't pay without logs
to saw, neither can bar-rooms or dis
pensaries pay without our sons and
fathers and husbands to run them."
The great need of the hour for pub
lic morals and public weal, lies in a
great temperance reform, a complete
turning over, and away with the in
famous and iniquitous business. The
duty of the church and the nation's
people in regard to all forms of in
temperance is set forth in no uncer
tain sound, as recorded in Rev. 18:4,
5. It is high time to awake, oh, ye
Christian people, and heed tbe living
voice that speaks to us all today.
Now a parting word and 1 have
done. Let us have the grit and
courage to say No! to wr-ong, and
Yee! to right, every time as long as
life lasts. "When sinners entice thee,
consent thou not." "Enter not into
the paths of the wicked and go not
into the way of evil men; avoid it,
pass ntot by it, turn from it and pass
away." "For they eat the bread of
wickedness and drink the wine of
violence." "Ponder well the path of
thy feet, and let all thy ways be es
tablished." And above all, from first
to last, under any and all circum
stances.
"Dare to say 'No' w~hen you1 are tempted to
drink,
Panse for a moment, my boy and think
Think of the wrecks upon lbre's ocean
tossed,
For answering -yes' without counting the
cost;
Think of the mother who bore you in
pain.
Think of the tears that will fall like the
rain,
Think of the heart and cruel thbe blow,
Think of her love and at once answer No!
"Tink of the hopes that are down in the
bowl,
Think of the danger to body and son!,
Think of the sad lives, once as pure as the
snow,
Look at them now and at once answer nor
Think of a manhood with rum-tainted
breath,
Think of its end and the terrible death,
Think of the homes that, now shadowed
with woe,
Might have been heaven had the answer
been no.
"Think 6f the lone graves, both unswept
and unknown,
Hiding from hopes that were fair as your
own,
Think of proud forms now forever laid
low,
That still might be here had they learncd
to say no;
Think of the demon that lurks in the
towlI
Driving to ruin both body and soul,
Think of all this as life's journey you go,
And when you are tempted, by the graic o
God, say no!"
The TLord be with you all. Amen.

With such a condition of affairs, the business man is
put to his trumps to study out the most effectual way of
meeting the people and sharing their burdens, to remedy
the bad effects caused by any turn in affairs which op
erate adversely to the people. It is unnecessary to in
troduce myself to the readers of The Times, they know
me, and they know full well that my many years of ex
perience, both as a farmer and a merchant, give me a de
cided advantage over many others. I have used my ex
perience that it may count for the best interests of my
business. In doing this I had to study the needs and
and wants of my patrons, studying their condition as
wvell as their welfare, because upon their welfare de
pends my success. Every business man, to keep up
with the progressive spirit nowv pervading this country
must study the markets just as a lawyer or doctor must
study his books. This must be done or he cannot buy
his goods to meet competition.
I have made deals by which I can sell goods at prices
that cannot be duplicated anywhere, and I am going to
do it. A visit to my store will convince any buyer that
my immense stock has been selected with the greatest
care, and contains everything that can be used in the
family, or on the plantation.
