Cardinal Manning, writing to friend in Dub
lin on intemperance, says "Half the misery of
homes arising from bad temper, sloth, squander-
ing selfshness, debt, neglect of all duty, is caused
by indulgence in wine and the Ike. The sure
and best of this is to bring up children in
simple habits, and to guard them against acquir
ing the liking for intoxicating drinks. When
liking for the taste is acquired, the temptation is
at once in existence Common sense well as
faith says-Train up children not to know the
taste, and they will not be tempted. urge this
on parents whenever | can, and have before me
many happy homes in which children have grown
up without so much having tasted any thing but
