within the line beyond which they would
be detected. But they wreck themselves
and their homes BY an excessive use of
wine and other stimulants. Half the
misery Of homes arising from bad temper,
sloth. squandering, selfishness, debt,
neglect Of all duty, is caused by the in
diligence in wine and the ike. The sure
and best cure of this is to bring I'D children
in simple habits and to guard them against
acquiring the liking for intoxicating drinks
When liking for the taste is acquired
the temptation is at once in existence
Common sense, as well as faith, says,
train up children not to know the taste,
and they will not be tempted. I urge this
on parents whenever | can, and I have be-
fore me many happy homes in which
children have grown up without SO much
as having ever tasted anything but water.
They will be the sober fathers and mothers
of the next generation. If the fathers and
mothers Of to-day had been SO trained, we
should not now have before us so many
unhappy homes and cast off children. !
