every temptation that can be thrown
around them. | have not as yet got
ten a clear conception as to who can
help us. But there are dozens of wo-
men in Americas that are ready if
need be to stand upon the street cor
ners. and cry aloud to give us fit
place to raise our sons. A Christian
city, under Christian administration,
in a Christian land!
A crank, am 1? Sure, l am. And
you would be also, if you had gone
into the homes that have entered side
by side with grief and shame Drink
had opened those doors to sorrow and
despair.
l have stood by and heard men say
of dead man as he lay in his coffin:
He was a boy Of such fine prom
but" Well if he were weak, did it
not behoove you who are strong to
protect him. To whom did God say;
"The voice of thy brothers blood
for crieth to NE from the ground?
have been in homes Of distress because
the money that should have been spent
for food had gone for drink. have
stood with heart-broken mother over
the dead body of her boy that drink
had killed, and failed to comfort her.
for I had no words to say. "Woe unto
the man that putteth the bottle to his
brothers lips"
But what could l add to what the
Christian world has said? Who can
free us from this blot on our city? And
will those who can, do it, and do it
speedily?
