Who Will Help?

The honor of God, the stability of
the nation, the well-ebing of the COM
munity, of the home. and of the in
dividual, demand that every possible
effort be made in arousing the people
to the evil of intemperance. Soon
we shalg see the result of this ter
rible evil as we do not see it now.
Who will put forth determined effort
to stay the work Of de struction? As
yet the contest has hardly begun. Let
an army be formed to stop the sale
of the drugged liquors that are max
ing men mad. Let the danger from
the liquor traffic be made plain, and
public sentiment be created that
shall demand its prohibition. Let the
drink-maddened men be given an OPP
portunity to escape. from their thral-
dom. Let the voice of the nation de-
mand of its lawmakers that a stop
be put to this Infamous traffic.

For the Sake of Gain

Every year millions upon millions
of gallons of Intoxicating liquors are
consumed. Millions upon millions of
dollars are spent buying wretched-
ness, poverty, disease, degradation,
lust, crime, and death. For the sake
of gain, the liquor seller deals out to
his victoms that which corrupts and
destroys mind and body. He entails
on the drunkard's family poverty
and wretchedness.
Houses of prostitution, den of vice,
criminal courts, prisons, almshouses,
insane asylums, hospitals, are all, to
a great extent, filled as a result of
the liquor traffic. Like the mystic
Babylon of the Apocalypse, he is deal
ing in SLAVES and souls of men," Be
hind the liquor seller stands the
mighty destroyer of souls, and every
art which earth or hell can devise is
employed to draw human being under
his power. In the city and the coun-
try, on the railway trains, on the
great seamers, in places of business,
in the halls of pleasure, in the medi-
cal dispensary, even in the church, on
the sacred Communion table, his
traps are set. NOTHING is left undone
to create and to foster he desire for
intoxicants. On almost every corner
stands the public house, with its bril-
liants lights, its welcome and good
cheer. inviting the workingman, the
wealthy idler, and the unsuspecting
youth.
