Scarboro, on Friday,1)ec. 18th. A SthcrknfdAt, mLctioqeer. The usual monthly temperance meeting was held in the Lecture Room of the Metho- dist church on Monday evening last. One I of the bestiHndeed not the best temperance lecture we ever had the pleasure of hear- ing was given on that occasion by F. b‘. Spence, Esq” of the Canada Citizen, Toron- to. Mr. Spence did not follow the usual style of lecturers by dwelling on the evils of the liquor trnffio, but, after proving to the satisfaction of'his hearers that Temperance. in its purity. meant nothing else but total abstinence, he showed by practical illustra- tions the effects of Alcohol on the human system. In speaking of the progress of the Temperance reform he pointed its diff- erent stages from the old fashioned pledge which prohibited the use of ardent spirits accept on Christmas day, New Yewf’s day, Thanks ‘iving, and Sheep-washing, down to the present time when total abstinence on all days 13 the only true platform for the friends of this great reform. In reference to the Scott Act. Mr. Spence stated that the Act was not what the Temperance people ltSkOd for; they asked for prohibition, but the law makers at Ottawa. thought to ascer- tain the Wishes of the people on that matter by giving them the Scott Act which. is very much better than any previous measure given. There are men to be found every day who tell you they would vote for prohi- bition, but that they will not vote for the Scott Act, and he Wished thoae men to un- derstand that every vote given for the Act was 9. vote given for prohibition. and every vote against the Act was a vote against pro- hibition. In taking up the objections made to the Act, the lecturer spoke very fully on the difficulty of enforcing it in those coun- tius which have adopted it. The antis are fond of calling attention to the fact that there were thirty convictions for violation in the county of Bolton in one'year, but if any one‘in Richmond Hill would go with the speaker on any Saturday evening, “he would show them thirty violations of the 'li- cense Act in the citv of Toronto, in one hour. He hoped that when the time come for the vote to be taken in York, the old county would not take a back seat with the few which had rejected the Act, but would snmd nobly with the eighty-one counties which have declared by their vote that total prohibition shall in the near future be the temperance low of the Dominionaof Canada. Our space will not allow a more ’lengthy re- port of this most interesting and instructive lecture. The speaker was listened to .with marked attention throughout the whole lec- ture which occupied nearly two hours, and all were soi'rv when it was ended. We are glad to know we have such men as Mr. Spence in our Canadian ranks, and cannot see the advisability of bringing American talent to the aid of the temperance work, when we have men of equal and perhaps greater worth at home. men who like the speaker of Monday evening. know the exist- ing evils in our midst. and the means at hand for their removal much better than a foreigner whose chief object, very often, is the fee which he receives for his work. The meeting wasobly conducted by ‘Rev. \V. F. Wilson whose genial manner added much to the succes‘; of the meeting. Latte Jae. Watson ‘mt 2.“,3rd Con.Vaughnn. chresday,'0:c. 15th.
