And jogs msn down the hili of life,
Il has q thousand roes in every cup,
That leads to enry and to strife.
1t invades the C1scRcH, the rULfIr,
And mid congregations seatters shame
A guest KaknhoTed and unfit
A }om disaoaor TO CHRISTIANS name.
It escapes no family, class or trade.
The wealthiest, the poorest the curse
do bear.
Il makes the }airea ones Of nature fade,
Pmeats, sons and daughters fair.
1t robs the man, it keeps him poor,
1t deodens him to things Of Con,
It sends him for aims from door to door
1t sends him Oh the do1n,oard road.
1t fades the cheek, it d;sas the eye,
1t w,fhers men amid cares and strife,
1t makes them breath an inward sigh

Oserpowers the stomach and the brain
It reduces all TO stupefaction,
All for loss and naught for gain.
WHISKY is a fcebraud, an arroD of
death,
Worse than wars, epidemics, earth

Its famine, a pestilence, to stop the

offence against individual life,
1t tends to put in jeopardy the life of
others,

The wife replied, broke it in an acci-

Sink the pRuNKARD down with bis cof
fee-pot as low as you can,
Sink him as iow rs beastial degreda-

lie still has a soui to save, he is still

But alas! drunkenness bars his heart
against the light Of revelation
Then throw off his incumbus of Rum,

And allow his good qualities to spring

Of all this stream of death and roe ?
Who pours the stream of liquid fire on

Every individual has inalienable rights
(example) a right to live,
To employ his faculties and industry
for his otCn use,
A right to personal liberty, property,
right to give,
But no right to PROSTATE families by

Neither can the habitual partaker;
In the scriptures it is written ne for

But he that hideth his eyes shall have

Where men are robbed Of every grace,
And down to HE'LL straightway they
