THE GOOD TEMPLAR POLICY.

w , ], a7 e two letters on the temperance nnestion. One of these, by Mr H. Waite, lies onr correspondent " A Lover of Water" totask for stating that the Good Templars Ls resolutions which they never carry out, L o for not writing in his own name. Our Trace w iH not permit of the publication of the letters in full, but we make the following SXMr Waite writes :—" Would you allow me through your paper as a Good Templar i to'thank you for your able article on the i liquor question in last Thursday's issue, j and also to say a word about the | letter in - Saturday's issue. I visit a neit many lodges, and I hear resolu tions passed, and I see a great many of them eanied out and with effect; but it is like a constant dropping of water, on stone, it takes jlong trine to make^ja hole in it. Does your j jopeejjcmdent expect us to overthrow in [a ! «or two what has taken some hun dreds of years to build? I mean the liquor traffic- If your correspondent! fonld only look around him he would; ? Bee that we have members who go to the . y drunkard's home, and not only go there, bnt rive them pleasure and consolation : not in | fords of advice but something substantial. ' Ifnrthermore would state that the Templars' I plstform is free for any one to speak, J whether he desires to speak for drink -or ; igainat it. lam also sure that if. a lewd song were commenced it would be imme diitely stopped, but perhaps your correspond ent would call any song lewd unless ; 'it was sacred; if so, I must say that Ife are guilty of singing them, for Iwe do sing other than temperance and [ Mcred song. Why ? because I believe (but I f only speak for myself) that we should try by amusing the members to make them fonder of the lodge-room than the bar-room ; but if ?e have nothing else but temperance and dry foinebs the members will soon get tired of it My idea of carrying on the good of the order is by good sentimental songs, inter mixed with temperance songs, recitations, and a good comic song or reading - something {hat will make you. laugh, as I think a good hngh does a man more good than all the doctors or publicans' stimulants. Would your correspondent kindly tell us the mode tf working he would pursue, and perhaps we might adopt it. Would he also state whether lie sent his letter to the literary committee before sending it to you for insertion." "A Total Abstainer" says :—" Would you jllowonewho has the interest of temperance ttheart to speak a few words on its behalf .; through your valuable and widely-circulated ; paper, the Stab, which might justly be died the working man's friend. The Good ! ■ fenplars and other societies who have the ! liare of the working classes at heart are tjing to-check the tide of drunkenness; ktthey are not working altogether. Their present syßtem would answer well if, as a correspondent said, the drunkard would go 'M to their lodges. That very few will do ; »we are ia duty bound to go out tod: meet the enemy manfully, and : praue. him to his very haunts. It tyi with the working men as a body to i pnt this great foe down and drive him from Vm homes. Let a working man calculate *hat he spends in one year. Say he takes Jjje pint per day—£6 Is 8d for one year. ■w is money fairly thrown away. The pint 'dayfor eight years would come to some were about £48 13a 4d, but where is the ton who stops at a pint, a day, two pints a : jtyls double the amount, &c, namely, £97 .«8i Those who drink more can multiply ™> hard-earned money that would enable I »em in less than 8 years to buy a good house. I «working men of Anckland how long will I;:■■)» give your money for sickness, misery, fftl death? You say you drink in modera .«&; who is it that takes the place of the ;• tankard ;juj he falls into that untimely grave, - my it is not the new beginner ? No, it is I 'to Man who has gone through his course of I deration,—he steps to the front, and |» the ranks of the drunkards are filled. «c social glass, as an eminent author tells ™i is so insidious in its advances as that it «j.r^' no alarm, but it is the opening door to «* the mischief and miseries of confirmed "^kenness. Every glass gives an appetite, "j a will continue to cry—give, give." If "ose who drink could only see Dr Sewall's "graving, showing the appearance of the Jtom stomach through the different stages «tanking: intoxicating spirits, from the "»ge called/temperate drinking to that "tended with delirium tremens, they *°Wd be shocked at the havoc strong driDk , ffl^es upon the delicate coats of the stomach,- how B oon it begins its career of dis- Pganization and ruia "

I've studied and periorm'd all Cupids arts tn press My suit." Said I, Joe, have you studied DRESS ?
