SCOTTISH PERMISSIVE BILL 



AND TEMPERANCE ASSOCIATION. 



The objects of this Association may be clearly ascertained from the following 



DECLARATION OF COMMITTEE. 



Fully recognizing the principle of Total Abstinence, carried out into consis- 

 tent practice, not as a mere matter of expediency, but a duty, based upon 

 Christian morals and sound philosophy, as the only certain remedy for intem- 

 perance, we declare that we will not abate our efforts to obtain, by every moral 

 means, its adoption as a rule of lif e. But, being convinced by long and painful 

 experience that it is next to impossible to secure anything like a general recep- 

 tion and fidelity to the practice of total abstinence from intoxicating liquor in 

 this country, whilst the licensed temptations of the Traffic exist; and, being of 

 opinion that the suppression of the liquor traffic is "only possible through tlie 

 united efforts of moral reformers (wket/ier abstainers or not}" we purpose, in order 

 to obtain this desirable object, to unite the power and influence of the Scottish 

 Abstainers, with all who see the evils of intemperance and are convinced of 

 the necessity for suppressing by law the whole traffic in intoxicating drinks. 



Five Agents and Secretary are fully employed. Nearly One thousand meet- 

 ings are held yearly, An exhaustive electoral canvass of the Scottish Parlia-
