It is because of this last sentence,
perhaps, that the dread drug can be
most likened to Leviathan, since SO
many sad souls and troubled hearts
and suffering bodies find temporary
joy in the merciless grasp of the drug.
But God and all his hosts of Minis
tering Angels must come to the rescue
of one who seeks such joy, or the end
is misery. shame and despair.

colors the terrible fight made by a
brave soul to overcome the drug habit

repeated efforts and failure to aban-
