10 Narcotics and St,mulants.
swine is a mocker, strong drink .
brawler: whnsoe YER erreth thereby is not
wise''-so re IDS the proverb in the new
version of the old Book
We all know that, anil also fonl the
bitter evils that come of strong drink
And when we look at the whole land
and see the extent of the recorded evils,
and rem ,mber how much is not re-
corded. we are tempted to cry out I'M
to the Lord: ''Why hast Thou made US
thus?'
But no inquiry into the sources of evil
will help us. There are the hard facts,
and the single question, what can VIC
do? The cry IS for reform: but reforms
must begin at the top" 1t is going TO
be vain to shut up, or to license and
control, saloons; it is the people who
want reforming. And when men who
stand in no special need of stimulants
Will give them up, then there NAV be
hope.
The worst feature that presents itself,
as the reform question comes up, is the
matter of inher, lance! And in no other
instance does the case look so utterly
hopeless.
1t is no new thing. In the oldest
books OF the Bible it is recognized.
One of the prophets also quotes as a
proverb: The fathers have eaten sour
grapes, and the children's teeth are set
+; on edge
And the poisons fit into each other.
Tobacco is tyrant A man thinks he
is free, but if he faces the truth he
must own that he is in the power of a
relentless tyrant. This dulls his moral
sense and nature, and he can not see
clearly.
Then it is an unquestioned and I'M
questionable fact, and might be stated
as an axiom: The use of narcotics and
s.imulants dulls the moral sense"
Men do not see clearly; they can not.
And when the access of appetite comes,
as it is apt to come. in paroxysm. it is
as Irresistible az an ocean wave.
1t all comes back TO the same coun-
sci: Don't 5eyin!
There is the old story in fable of tho
camel who wanted to put his head in
side the mans cabin-only his head:
but once in, there was no putting him
out, and the man was lost Don't let in
even the beginning of the Appetite
