Excerpt from Poems for the Times on Prevalent Customs and Essential Reforms Relating Chiefly to Temperance and the Sabbath: With Illustrative Statistics and Facts
To cause all conflicts here to cease. Not thus will righteousness increase, Not thus His empire spread.
As He foretold, the conflict came, Fierce Persecution lit her flame To counteract the Word; When this to mighty conquest rose, It met a host of stubborn foes, Who sought with error to Oppose, With torture, fire and sword.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book of poems addresses the Temperance and Sabbath movements, along with various social issues of the time, particularly the deleterious effects of liquor on society and the importance of strong families, community and morality. The author believed in a divine Leader who guided humanity towards righteousness and that the Temperance movement was part of His plan to establish Godās kingdom on earth. Within a historical context of similar movements, such as Abolitionism, the author argues that societal ills could be rectified through the concerted efforts of reformed individuals aided by the divine. The poems in this volume touch on themes of personal responsibility, the evils of drunkenness, the importance of temperance in all aspects of life, and the need for social and spiritual reform. The author's insights into these issues remain relevant today, highlighting the ongoing struggle to overcome addiction, foster strong communities, and uphold moral values.
