Is There Any Hope


Once, devoted mother followed a
physician from the room where her
only daughter lay in the giant grasp OF
disease. With tear-filled eyes, she ask
ed him sis there any hope of recovery"
She saw that life trembled in the bal
Ilance-that in few hours, the darling
of her heart might perish. The ques-
ton was therefore natural and proper.
1t betrayed anxiety and the heartfelt
concern of a true parent. AS 1 have be-
held the drinking habits which are
becoming so widespread among all
classes of society, more than once has
the question presented itself "Is there
any hope of reform such as will prevent
our youth from filling drunkards graves.
Is there no hope of making the use OF
Intoxicating liquors of every kind SO
unpopular that the very habit of tip
Ming will be abandoned in all circles?-
AS vet the mind discovers but dim
prospect of this. Wine drinking, in the
home circle, at the hotel table and in
private apartments, steadily increases.
Forgetting the warning of wisdom, that
in the end ''it will bite like serpent
and sting like an adder" men and wo-
men sip and so create an appetiser for
rujnous stimulation which is never sat-
isfied until death takes them out of the
world. There is no hope of any better
state of things while fathers and moth
ers use the wine at their tables and give
it freely to their sons and daughters
There is no hope of recovery from this
evil. so deadly to the best interests OF
man in this world and the next, while
large numbers Of men and women in
our christian churches give countenance
to this habit. There is no hope OF saw
ing our youth from ruin by this evil
malady so long as our moralists and
religionists do not throw themselves
into one determined compact against 1t.
There is perhaps enough latent, moral
and religious influence in any commu-
nity to forever drive rum out of it, II
concentrated and exerted. But this is
not done, partly because of sectarian-
ism. partly lest political standing should
be impaired, and largely because the
awful damage done to immortal souls is
not realized. 1t might be said truly that
moral cowardice is chief enemy to re-
form, Well meaning people will not
act because they fear displeasure from
some quarter. Rather than incur the
wrath of few, they will let whole
community be tortured with the plaques
of intemperance. Is this right? is 1t
christian? Is this the course that is to
GLADDEN. human society with the hope OF
returning moral health? or that Is to
turn the sadness of ten thousand homes
into joy? COURAGE.
