If The World Would only Listen

If this great world would only
pause i'm it's mad rush and listen TO the
pleadings OF the wives, mothers and
children whose homes and lives have
been wrecked from whiskey, listen 10
the cry of the poor helpless children,
separated from their natural Inherit
ance, the love of self-sacrificing
mother, separated from their brothers
and sisters, never TO know the sweet
JOY Of childhood's happy hours to-
gether never in after life 70 have the
sweet memory OF childish games, play
ed together.
Listen TO the sobs of that poor
mother struggling in this cold world
for a living for herself and children
which whiskey robbed the father Of
earning.
Listen to the sobs of these little ones
lying alone i'm their little beds at night
in some orphans home, snatched from
their mothers Breast, and left to the
care of strangers so that heartbroken
despairing mother can earn her living
Listen to the sobs Of that poor moth
er at night after working all day.
whether winter, summer, hot or cold
SICK OF wen, SllllDS III some lIllIe III
furnished rooms, the best her small
earnings can afford, longing to see her
babies, knowing they are erieving for
her and that the youngest will soon
forget her.
Listen to the cause Of three fourths
Of the divorce cases, murders, suicides,
most ALL either directly or indirectly
the result of whiskeY.
Listen To the causes of hundreds of
innocent children being brought into
this world, nervous wrecks, some born
idiots, some deformed, others marked
in various ways by the effects of whis-
key.
Listen To the mothers pleading to
their sons not TO drink; with their
daughters not to marry the man who
drinks. These are all in vain as long
as whiskey is allowed To be made.
Listen To the young man whom we
have all often seen reeling drunk ask
some pure, good unsuspecting girl to
be his wife Mrs. Frances Clark.
