extent They live from hand 70 mouth, anu are ia
be 10 be reduced straits by sickness and acct
dent In the absence of educational and religious lniu-
ence they have strong tendency 10 indulge IN the use
of intoxicating drinks and It's associated caamltles
There are many exceptions in those districts which
are inhabited principally by woodcbopPers and golfers,
but in the main the picture holds true
To make these facts more Impressive, we may quote
few passspes from discourse preached IN one OF tue
old churches in this part OF Morris County The sta
tscs apply to one township, ndfromths We ma! MAKE
fair Judgment Of several others
