WHO WAS THE FIRST?
Who was the first to have
wine that we have any account
of? Was it Noah? What hap
pened in his family? He got
drunk and one of his boys saw
his nakedness; from then on he
and his posterity were to be
hewers of wood and drawers of
water. Servants, are they not?
Could such a thing hapoen
to your b /? I have been told
that from 75 to 90 per cent of
those serving in the chaingang
are. serving on account of whis
key. Do you want your boy to
drink or handle it.
When a man leaves his home
and a good virtuous wife and
nice bright boys and girls he is
not apt to visit a prostitute’s
home that night without whis
key. Do you want to help hold
the bottle to your neighbor’s
mouth for him to visit such pla
ces? Almost every man who vis
its a prostitute’s are men who
drink.
Do you believe that you will
reap what you sow? Almost ev
ery young man that go to these
dives are boys who drink. They
have to be. When the chastity
of the home is violated, and
some nice girl’s character is de
famed, it must be done by a
drunk or immoral young man.
Will you deny it?
Does it bother you to see a
good wife suffer on account oi
it? The ones who use it; it does
not.
Does it bother you to see a
good mother’s girl’s character
blighted on account of it? You
that use it; it does not.
It bites like an adder.
Touch not; taste not; handle
not the unclean thing.
Is whiskey clean to morals,
manners or Christianity?
Do you want to help to stop
it? Do you?
