lie would have found them reeking with
fumes of bad whisky and the air resonant
with the cries and blasphemies Of drunken
wretches calling on God to damn their

If the same traveller should to-day make
a similar tour of the same places, he would
not, perhaps, see drunken man, nor hear
a profane oath. In the face of such a
change as this, surely we may say that we
have done good work.
Some modern statesmen have declared
that prohibition never yet converted
drunkard into a sober man. However this
may be, We know one wiser than any
modern statesman, has commanded US to
pray that We may not be led into temptas

more need deliverancs from temptation
than the weak and unfortunate drunkard.

unable to resist. l know of many men
