shoots himself by virtue of the weakened
condition of his constitution by strong
drink. Not day passes but that In any
of our large dailies will appear numer-
GUS instances of the character just re-
ferred to. Homes are ruined; families
broken up and rendered destitute; Lus-
bands become brutes; wives are often
consigned to the poorhouse; children be-
come beggars, and manhood, physical
and spiritual, is utterly destroyed; the
brain is on fire and reason is dethroned;
man is deprived OF a happy life in this
world and of eternal life in the great
hereafter.
Strong drink is ragingl Experience
will prove it; general observation will
teach it; physicians tell you so; all hon
orable business men are ready to reiter-.
ate it; newspapers assert it; authors
and orators are insisting upon it. The
Bible, the true source of happiness from
whence, cometh all light'and life, corrob-
crates it. Strong drink is raging! These
awful words originate with the wisest
man that ever lived, and that ever will

will reverberate through the far-distant
future, though thousands of years roll
by.
''At the last it biteth like serpent

this is When a man has become so
beastly and british as to sacrifice his
manhood that his passions may be graf
flied; when he is SO stepped in disgrace,
misery and shame; the pangs of the
serpent are upon him; the poisonous
sting, as OF a rattlesnake, is penetrating
his body through and through with
pains that none but drunken wretch
can fully realize or imagine.
Strong drink is ragingl Oh, may we
profit by the lessons of this proverb, and
go out and sound the warning to fallen
humanity to flee to the hills of rescue
and relief ere the Internal floods of
strong drink, with all their wreck and
ruin, bear down upon them and bury

Strong Drink Is Raging.

Following 1s the Good Templar prize
essay, written by Mr.. G. E. Stewart, and
delivered at a recent meeting of the Good
Templars lodge, receiving a handsome
gold medal in appreciation
In the year 1889 there occurred one of
the most horrifying disasters that has
ever been chronicled in the pages of
history for years. The breaking of a
mighty reservoir, the outburst of furious
and raging torrents of imprisoned waters
from behind those vast walls, the swift
and terrible speed at which they came
tearing and plunging through the peace
full vale of Conemaugh, converting it in
simultaneously into a valley of death
quickening its speed at every leap, de-
stroying lives and property at every
plunge; growing fercer and roaring
louder and surging wilder and rolling
higher, until with one stupendous swell
it seemingly combined all of its strength
into one terrible effort, and charged,
madder than ever. upon the peaceful
and unsuspecting inhabitants of the city
of Johnstown, eighteen miles away. A
horror stricken man goes riding with
lightning rapidity into that city with
the alarming cry of run to the hiIls!"
But the people, wholly ignorant of their
awful fate, only regarded him as luna
tic, and needed not his warning in time
to escape.
So it ia with the enemy of our souls
strong drink, that accursed, disreputa-
BILE, disgraceful, damnable widow and
orphan-maker and pauper-manufact-
urer: blight upon many young man
and woman who otherwise would be
:sinless; a murderer of many a strong
man lying still and cold in Deaths en-
brace in the gloom of a loathsome drunk
ards grave, who would otherwise be
living in peace and happiness with his
beloved companion and darling children.
"Oh, why is it they will not listen to the
warning appeals of their felTow-b beings,
and seek what is best for theireternal
Nwelfare? Why do they utterly ignore
earnest entreaties in their behalf-the
messages of danger ahead; the urgent
words coming to them as from that
Johnstown hero to flee to the hills OF
refuge and safety and salvation2
Strong drink is ragingI Slowly, but
surely. it is doing its deadly work. 1t
is weakening the vital powers of man.
kind the world over. 1t is sapping the
life-blood of many an innocent youth
who has assured promise of noble man
hood. 1t is being poured down the
throat and rushed down into the stom-
ach, a very cataract of the vllest poison.
Strong drink is raging! Day after
day, week after week, month after
month, the newspapers of the world are
regularly recording crimes, divorce cases
and deaths, consequent upon the raw
ages of the heinous liquor traffic. A
man has murdered his fellow being
while drunk, and is sentenced to be
hanged. A woman sues her husband
for divorce upon the grounds of cruel
and inhuman treatment caused by
drunkenness. A man is found in the
gutter, dying from delirium tremens.
A young man of good standing IN the
community becomes respondent and
