THOUGHT: There is an old saying, “Say little, do much.” What we really ought to do is update and apply a version of that to our early approach. Be lesser, do more. Imagine if for every person you met, you thought of some way to help them, something you could do for them? And you looked at it in a way that entirely benefited them and not you. The cumulative effect this would have over time would be profound: From Brett & Kate McKay.

TEMPERANCE ! TEMPERANCE !!
Just Published by James Duffy and Co., Dublin, Price One Shilling,
TEMPERANCE SONGS AND LYRICS, (Forty in Number). Second Edition. Greatly Enlarged. By the Rev. J. CASEY, P.P., Author of “Intemperance,” “Our Thirst for Drink,” ” Verses on Doctrinal and Devotional Subjects, and Other Poems.”
Opinions of the Press;. “This little volume contains much homely, direct, powerful moral teaching, clothed in simple verse. One of these songs well sung is worth twenty average temperance discourses, especially as they are set to such popular tunes as the Wearing of the Green, John Anderson my Jo. &c.”—Catholic World.
” Father Casey is a vigorous and useful champion of this great cause of Temperance. He is thoroughly possessed of all the arguments and facts of the question. His verses startle one by their strongly marked unlikeness to the typical poetry of the day. They have nothing whatever of subtlety or languor, or fastidious workmanship. Plainness, directness, and vigour characterise the style throughout”— ‘The Lyceum.
“No name is better known or more popular in connection with the Temperance cause, than that of the rev. author of these excellent songs and lyrics. Father Casey has proved of signal service in the cause, and has advocated it with singular perseverance and with sustained practical vigour. The little volume now before us is, in all respects, fully equal to anything he has ever written before, and some of its pieces surpass in power, graphic earnestness, and telling imagery, any of the previous productions of his fertile pen. Whilst in some of his poems he can write with almost tragic intensity, as in his ‘ Drunkards Dream,’ he can yet be merry and playful as the most genial of our best known social humourists, and can laugh and be jovial over his water-drinking with the most evidently hearty zest.”—Freeman’s Journal.
—A Large Reduction made to Temperance Societies.
