The crisis in the life of the inebriate

an uncomfortable desire. Here, If

what through his own dereliction and

There's a dark Spirit walking in our
house,
And swiftly will the Destiny close

It drove me hither from my calm

It lures me forward in a seraph's

The consequences of this adumbra-
ton of the moral perception and in
valuation of the will are, as may we'll
be judged, various and numerous.
The kind, loving father becomes un
kind and brutal; the altruistic, phil
anthropic, industrious, upright, con-
tinent, peaceable, and valuable citizen
becomes selfish, idle, untruthful, dis
honest incontinent, quarrelsome and
useess-a thoroughly unreliable and
undesirable one. If nations wealth
is in its citizenship, then it must fol-

There is no power IN the universe
that I know of, which can compass
and accomplish mans degradation and

While opium will sink its devotees as
