1904
The main points of a speech Kuyper delivered in the Second Chamber on April 28, 1904, about the revision of the Licensing Act of 1881 (see 1904.06, pp. 1739–1746). This abridgment omits remarks about the perspicuity, procedure, and significance of the new act. This version retains what Kuyper calls in the speech “the case itself,” namely, the need to curb alcoholism by enacting legal measures against alcohol.
The abbreviated speech was published in the paper of the Reformed Temperance Association. Founded in 1900 by W.H. Gispen Jr. (1871–1934), the association had about 1,100 members in 1904. In his series of articles De drooglegging van Amerika (Groningen, 1926, p. 29), the Rev. H. Enserink, who was active in this association, incorporated part of a short editorial by Kuyper, entitled “Drankverbod” [Prohibition]. Originally published in De Standaard, 48 (1919/1920), no. 14571, October 15, 1919, this editorial argues for a temporary affiliation with the teetotalers. The same excerpt was also included in Enserink’s Dr. A. Kuyper Sr. als drankbestrijder (Groningen, [1927]).
Earlier in his career, in reference to comments made when wine was served at the inaugural dinner of the Vrije Universiteit, Kuyper had written: “From the chocolate kettle and the milk and water bottle one does not cultivate a race of bold Calvinists” (De Heraut, December 5, 1880 no. 154).
