Whiskey has wrecked more homes and ruined more lives than any one thing you can find. It causes those who drink to lose respect for themsel i ves and for all they come in contact | with. It will excite men. to deeds of l'iot, robbery and blood and by all such acts will lessen the comfoi't and en danger the welfore of the community. Whiskey fills the asylums, poor hous es and prisons. It will increase dis ! eases and render those that are harm i less incurable. It will make widows j and orphans. Whiskey will cause the ! rising generations to grow lip in ig- ‘ norance, it will make mothers forget their children and young women to i lose all self-respect. Wkiskey will j make little children go to bed hungry ! and cold. It will cause the wife and mother many sleepless nights. 1 It will corrupt the church, cause temperal spiritual and eternal death, j Some nrofessing Christians give whis key their cheerful countenance and never speak one word against the use of such fiiery stuff that is sending thousands to untimely graves, with out honor or I'espeet. I wish we could I cut out whiskey in full, not that it has i ever given me as an individual any ! trouble but I know of its power to destroy, that is grand and noble in I man. It fires them to do that which he would not do while sober. It is one of Satan’s best tools. May press, pulpit platforms unite and fight stronglv until deliverance comes. A PROHIBITIONIST.
