NEW TEMPERANCE GOSPEL.

these days, when efficiency is so gen.

directly that man is knave who
drinks to excess, or even as all, as that
he Is a fool. A runner who ties
weight about his leg is no greater
Ounce than the workingman or the
merchant who puts dram of liquor
into his digestion or his brain. 1t is
capable Of proof by figures and dia-
grams that the drinker Of even an
occasional glass Of wine or beer or
whisky injuries the work of both his
hands and his mind, while the habit
ual drinker sews up his mental and
manual machinery permanently This
is the gospel of the new temperance
