Here Is what Bishop Spalding, of Peoria,
ILL.,, says OF the drink evil; THE evil
wrought by alcoholic drink is now &C
knowledged aud proclaimed by all the or
gans OF public opiuion. 1t undermlnes
health, enfeebles the will, coarsens the
mind and inflames animal passions. 1t
separates husbands and wives, diyldes
families, and depriyes children OF the home
influence which nothing else can supply.
1t lowers the standard OF morals, nlls pris'
ons and insane asylums with its victims,
aud feeds the germs OF corruption in the
body polite. 1t is, In a word, the cause
or the occasion of four-hfths OF the crime
by which our national life Is disgraeed."
