HIGH AUTHORITY

Being satisfied from observation
and experience, as well as from med
ical testimony, that ardent spirits and
drink are not only needless but hurt
full, and that the entire disuse of them
would tend to promote the health, the
virtue and the happiness of the com
munity, we hereby express our convic-
ton that should the people of the
United States, and especially the
young men, discountenance entirely
the use of strong drinks, they would
not only promote their personal ben
eft. but the good of our country and
the world. (Signed.)

1T is SOMETHING TO you
Rev. Joel Loucks. Canajoharie, N. Y

Rev. Joel Loucks, CanaJonarle, n. l.
Is 1t nothing to you that your boy goes
down
Meath the waves of an angry sea,
Drawn out to its depths by the under
tow
To endless misery?
Is it nothing TO you that the snare is
laid
For his feet by the fowler grim,
To wholly entrap by it's subtle ruse
And draw him completely in?
Is 1t nothing to you that from moth
er's arms
That EMBODIED his infant form,
That drew him close to her throbbing
breast
He heedlessly should be torn?
Is it nothing to you that her tears are
shed
As the night hours come and go,
And her prayers ascend for the boy
who is not,
But is sinking to the depths below?
Is 1t nothing to you that a prospect
fair,
Deep laid in his agile mind,
The unfolding bloom of a flower rare,
Should be blighted by simeon wind?
Is Il nothing TO you that life is
wrecked
Fro 4 scarce begins TO sail,
On the shoals of drink, with its kim
dred ills,
That on every hand assail?
Is it nothing TO you that the boy the
man
To be, as the life unfolds,
With hand to the helm of the ship Of
state
To guide it mid numerous shoals.
That he be the Kind that its builders
were
And not the reckless freak
With powers dethroned and manhood
lost.
The inevitable wage of drink?
1t is something to you, 'twere strange
if 'twere not,
O, parent citizen. friend!
Then toll at the spring that gives
birth TO the stream,
Make the bay what you want him as
man;
Shield him full from the filth that
befouls the whole stream,
Break the traps that are set for his
feet;
Cut out the drink evil that turks in
his path;
Cut it out ere tits said, "Tis too
late.!"
