The influence of alcohol on morals il
immediate. 1t is perceptible to obser-
va,;on quickly after alcohol is taken into
the system; but It varies greatly, both in
kind and in intensity, with the stare of
drinking.
No instance has ever been known of a
character SO base, so bestial and inhurnan
that alcohol could not sink it still lower.
1t seems, in fact, true, rs far as the worlds
experience extends, that the depths Of de-
pravity into which alcohol may plunge the
human soul have never yet been sounded.
In its position as a wrecker of eoop
morals, alcohol stands proudly eminent"
Few things are SO bad as to have mo good
