An Address Delivered Before Several Temperance Associations On Man's Likeness To God, or The Right Exercise Of His Powers

By J. H. Purkitt

In "An Address Delivered Before Several Temperance Associations," J. H. Purkitt delivers a compelling argument for temperance rooted in the concept of humanity's likeness to God. The address emphasizes the importance of exercising one's powers responsibly and virtuously, framing temperance not merely as abstinence from alcohol, but as a broader principle of self-control and moral rectitude. Purkitt delves into the philosophical and theological dimensions of temperance, exploring its connections to human dignity and divine purpose.

This address offers valuable insights into the temperance movement of the 19th century, reflecting the era's moral and social concerns. Its focus on self-improvement and the responsible use of one's faculties provides a thought-provoking perspective on personal and societal well-being. A valuable historical document for those interested in the history of social reform and moral philosophy.
