The best way for most OF us to avoid
strife is to keep clear Of the places and
things which are conducive to it,
Physical disorders very often result in
initablity. Indeed, those who repeat
eddy destroy the laws of health do
much toward inviting a contentious
spirit. The immediate effects of alec
hol upon many persons ID to make
them quarrelsome. The man or wo-
man who, by the use OF alcohol, .tobac-
co or any 9th unhealthy excitant,
cutiyates ctoleric disposition is
trampling upon the rights OF others.
One Of the solemn and too often one
of the awful things about these lives
of ours is that we can not stop them
when we cease to 60 out and in before
the world. Children do not always
walk in the way their fathers walked,
but we have seen often the pitiful
spectacle of children who have come
into the world manned physically and
morally, because their parents walked
not in their integrity. Such as these
must rise up and call their parents
cursed II that "hail fellow we'll met"
whom vine seems to make cornwall
rather than otherwise, and who is gen
erous with his family, could look nto
the future and gee the misery of his
sons and daughters, whose moral de-
formity is but his own lack of restraint
exaggerated, it would be the most Tor
chile temperance lecture that he
could receive. That is the darkest
side of the whole questionable curse
that those who are deceived by strong
drink bring upon those who follow
after them.
