| brothers and husbands as its victims: and
amid 1t ali there has been scarcely a

God has poured cut His Spirit upon the
women CT our land, and they have arisen
to work against this evil.

your columns until the whole world shall
become enlightened, and shall throw off
the chains OF drink that now bind her in
slavery, and shall be free indeed; and then
there shall be nothing that can hurt or
} destroy in all Gods Holy Mountain.
