2 Apr 1859 The Moreton Bay Courier
IPSWICH - GREAT TOTAL ABSTINENCE MEETING.
A LARGE meeting, which crammed the Court House, was held on Friday last. Dr. Challinor in the chair. Dr. Challinor, on opening the proceedings, said a Teetotal Society had been in existence some time, and the Committee think the time is arrived when it ought to be brought into notice in a more public manner.

Mr WELSBY then made a most eloquent appeal to his hearers, to become converted to the principles and practice of total abstinence. He declared himself to be a true disciple of Father Matthew as the taste of alcohol was unknown to him.

Dr. Challinor then introduced Mr. WARAKER, who advocated the cause in a very humorous speech, and showed that temperance was better for the body and mind; and ascribed the long catalogue of crime to the effects of drunkenness. He said if Punch were to come amongst us and give a picture of our national arms and motto, "advance Australia," he would sketch half a dozen men arm-in-arm, making in their walk a zigzag motion from right to left, with the words advance Australia, uttered with a hic-cup. He shewed the baneful effects of drink on this generation, as producing a set of ricketty, miserable children; and concluded by calling on the advocates of temperance to set an example and join the society.

Mr. H. M. REEVE made a speech, and strongly advised example as being better than precept, on which Mr. Waraker called on him to set the example, which Mr. Reeve did amidst much merriment, some dozen or more others joined, and the meeting separated, satisfied with having made a good beginning.

POLICE COURT. IPSWICH. FRIDAY, 25th. Before the P.M, and Dr. Lucas. M. McLaren, for drunkenness on Sunday, fined 10s or 24 hours.

​Comment: Malcolm Goodman was baptized at Ipswich Thursday 17 Mar 1859. The drunken incidence probably occurred on Sunday 20 Mar 1859, perhaps after several days of drinking.
