Have You Thought of Il?

If the people Of Maine exchange the
honor of the State, the intelligence of
it's citizens, the purity of their homes,
and jeopardize the souls of its sons
and daughters, for the licensed saloons
and all the evils that intoxicating
drink spreads throughout the land,
they will be the dupes of the great
est gold brick swindle' since the
creation of the earth. and will SO be
characterized by all future genera
lions.
Any man who understandingly votes
for the increase of intoxicating IL
quors into the State of Maine will be
q blaeker traitor, not only to his eoan-
try and his nome but to his Creator,
than America or any other country
has seen since the days of Judas
Iscariot. To intimate or believe that
the Saviour countenanced the drink
ing of Intoxicating liquor is an in
suit and blasphemy. for his entire
teachings were against the results
which such liquor produces. and
Gods power is the only power sutfi-
cient to destroy the appetite for
strong drink when once created.
Mothers and fathers OF Maine, do
not let your children be exposed to
the needless danger of being drafted
into the ranks of the rumsellers' VIC
tins to take the place of those who
fill drunkards' graves. You who
tremble for fear that disease may
touch them, do not bring upon them
Al greater evil. Bear in mind these
words:
Lead us not into temptation.
NO drunkard shall enter into Che
kingdom of heaven
Woe to him who putteth the bot
| tie to his neighbours lips
This is The summary of the liquor
its effects can be learned from the
| Bible history or from the experience
of those who live where intoxicating
| liquors are sold. Both sources show
| indisputably that poverty, sorrow.
crime, disease end death are greatest
| where such liquor is used.
Duty to ourselves should compel us
to use every exertion to avoid the
| temptation that would result by per-
hitting Intoxicating liquors to be
manufactured or sold in the State of
| Maine.
Duty to our children and our
| ncighbors' children should compel US
| 10 the same course.
Duty to the rumseller should CON-
pei us to leave him without the OPP
portunity OF putting the bottle to his
