As Aunt Susie wishes US TO take subjects
I will take Strong Drink"
BOYS, do think of how YOU are harming
yourself when you take a drink. Think o
your mother, who has cared for you sine,
you were n wee child, how she still
cares for you and wishes you to be al
Industrious man. You viii not be one il
you drink for you will drink up all you
make. Don't go into a bar room becaus'
YOU are asked by a friend-or anybody
else. Stay out ana try to keep youl
friends out. DO you know a bar room j:
a door to hell? Ii is. whether YOU know
il or not Listen to the first verse of IN,
twentieth chapter of Proverbs "Win'
is a mocker. strong drink is raging, ant
whatsoever is deceived thereby is not
y
Think of II before you drink a singl,
drop. If you are ever asked to drink
fatty refuse and never drink any kline
of drink stronger than milk or water.
