They're going to be looking for that sta

The other thing is, they buy this theory

theory, mind you - and they all stay
home and wait to hear something. There's
one same result from both things, isn't

A speaker at q temperance

some church members by their

rather than discourage people
TO drink.

DR.. Dodson charged that he
has known some people who

persons who drink that one
would almost rather emulate
the drinker."
He suggested that people who
are anxious to further the

do so by not withdrawing from

occurs nor by emotinally
rejecting those who are drink
