 drink to my wife's woe, to my child ren s rags; to my eternal banishment from God and hope of heavenl Give 1t to me! the drink!'
 There is no home so beautiful but it may be devastated by the awful curse. It throws its jargon into the sweetest harmony. What was it that silenced Sheridan s voice and shattered the gol- den sceptre with which he swayed par liaments and courtss What foul sprite turned the sweet rhythm of Robert Burns into tuneless balladf What brought down the majestic form of one who awed the American senate with his eloquence, and after while carried him home dead runk from the office of the secretary of state? What was it that crippled the noble spirit of one of the heroes of the late war until the other night, in a drunken fit, he reeled from the deck of a western steamer and was drownedl There was one whose voice we all loved to hear. He was one of the most classic orators of the century. People wondered why man of so pure heart and so excellent life should have such q sad countenance always. They knew not that his wife was a sot.
 l call upon those who are guilty of these indulgenees to quit the path of death. Oh, what change it would make in your home! Do you see how everything there is being desolated l. Would you not like to bring back joy to your wife's heart, and have your children come out to met you with as much confidence as once they showedi [ Would you not like to rekindle the home lights that long ago were extinguished? It is not too late to change It may not entirely obliterate from your soul the memory of wasted years and a ru- ined reputation, nor smooth out from anxious brows the wrinkles which trou- ble has plowed. It may not call back unkind words uttered or rough deeds done-for, perhaps, in those awful mo- ments you struck her! It may not take from your memory the bitter thoughts connected with some little grave; but it is not too late to save yourself and secure for God and your family the remainder of your fast going life.
 But perhaps you have not utterly gone astray. l may address one who may not have quite made up his mind. Let your better natures peak out. You take one side or the other in the war against drunkenness. Have you not the courage to put your foot down right and say to your companions and your friends: ''I will never drink intoxi- sating liquor in all my life, nor will I eountenanee the habit in others"
 Have nothing to do with strong drink. It has turned the earth into a place of oalostwoidtoletinits tsshrdlushrdIushrdlu skulls, and has stood opening the gate to lost world to let in its victims, until now the door swings no more upon it's hinges, but day and night stands wide open to let in the agonized process sion of doomed men.
 A philanthropist going up to the counter of grog shop, as the propri- etor was mixing drink for toper standing at the counter, said to the proprietor, "Can you tell me what youh business is good forf" The proprietor, with an internal laugh, said, "It fat tens gravcyards.'
 Now, there is no man who owes more to the grace of God than do, and while l live on earth and throughout all the ages of heaven, I propose to celebrate it; but there are certain things that the grace of God does not propose to do.
 Never let the time come in my his tory when I cease to extol the grace of God, but there are other men who need something besides that.
 think that We are coming at last to treat inebriety as it ought to be treated, namely, as an awful disease, self-infiicted, to be sure, but neverthe- less a disease. Once fastened upon a man, sermons will not cure him; tenn peranoe lessons will not eradicate the taste; religious tracts will not arrest it; thee gospel of Christ will not ar rest it.
 The McKanna Three-Day Liquor Cure abides on this fact: It is a scientific cure for the disease. It does not pur- port to put moral power into a man s head, but it does take away from him any desire for strong drink. If he goes back to drinking he does it with malice aforethough, willfully and deliberately not from thirst or necessity for stim- ulants.
 Dozens of prominent citizens of Ari- zona, as well as other states, have taken the treatment and bear willing testi- mony to it's efficacy.
