ROCKEFELLERS DON'T DRINK.
John d.. Jr.. Explains Why tie Is n Total
Abstainer.

The Young Mems Bible Class OF the Fifth
Avenue Baptist Church, Of which John ID.
Rockefeller, Jr., is the leader, held its tenth
annual banquet last night at the Broadway
Central Hotel. Ice water flowed freely and
Rockefeller told why he was a total
abstainer. He said:
TO drink a glass Of beer is not in itself
more harmful than to eat some kind of
indi gestible food. The single action is not
a sin, but it is the abuse that the first glass
leads to that is the sin. | believe not only
in temperance but in total abstinence, and
this for two reasons. First, because both
my father and his father as we'll as my
mothers father were strictly temperate;
second, my mature judgment is that while
there may be no harm in one glass that
one glass may lead on TO more. Therefore.
| say that one glass is one too many.
