What For?
Why do temperance people lalor
ceaselessly and untiringly for the
cause? Why do they work, sing,
speak, write against the evils of the
dramshop? Why do they demand
that press, platform and pulpit shall
thunder against it? Why do sober
people, safe in their own abstinence
make sacrifices of time, money and
effort to promote the cause ?
Why do so many l : ps whisper pray
ers for the daamshop's doom ? Why
do so many eyes look longingly to
legislatures for relief?
Are they all cranks and fanatics!
If so is there not danger that they
will by and by demand the overthrow
of the dry goods stores and meat
markets? Why is the one business
of runiselling sioghd out to receive
the condemna ion ot all good people?
The answer is easy. The drink
traffic has ma<& for itself a record of
infamy. Its hands are red with the
blood of its murdered victims. Read
the daily press. Yesterday a brother
ruthlessly butchered; rum did it. The
day before, a father brains his child;
beer brutalized him. Another day a
fiend kills his wife; drink oemonized
him. Day after day the bludgeon, the
pistol and the knife do their deadly
work; wine, brandy, whisky, gin aim
the fatal blows.
llut the worst is never told. Back
of all these visible horrors there is a
region of unutterable and uneonsola
ble wretchedness and despair. In
some homes where no pistol sends its
swift sentence of death; where no
knife pierces the heart; where the
murderous hand has not been bathed
in blood, there are shadows darker
than any which enshroud the dead:
there is mute and mortal anguish,
voiceless because of its utter desola
tion.
Picture if possible a wife’s loving
loyalty. She has given into a hus
band’s keeping, her whole destiny.
All the blissfull memories of the past,
all the bright dreams of the future, all
the possibilities of the present, she
lays, in trustful tribute, at his feet.
She surrenders old associations; puts
aside old plans, turns almost tearless
from her old home, and with bound
ing heart and measureless hope, steps
across the threshold into anew life.
The new life and the new home arc
sanctified by the limitless love of a
hopeful heart. The sky may be over
cast, or the mists gather, but through
cloud and storm, the sunlight of per
fect peace bathes that household in a
radiance all its own.
Listen to that happy wife’s glad
song. It ripples forth like the moun
tain brook, purling over pebbles and
singing to the everlasting hills its
anthems of praise to God. With
what bewildering joy she hears the
returning footsteps of him she loves.
Every day grows more glorious, and
every hour burns sweeter incense on
love’s alttn s.
But the years pass. The wine cup
begins to poison the lover’s brain. In
the brimming bowl he buries his for
gotten vows. The beer-besotted
senses know no pain, realize no loss.
But in that household a k> en, ch ar
brain sees the sin and the shame, and
a breaking heart beats only with pul
sations of despair. The ever deepen
ing shadows chase the last ray of sun
light from the home, and around it
gathers a gloom, darker than ever
midnight wrapped round a sleeping
earth. The lips that of yore sang
their inspiring notes of praise, are
now hushed into a hoarse and hungry
cry for death. The ashes of desola
tion cover the dead embers where
once blazed love’s altar fires. Peace,
happiness, joy, gladness, hope—all lie
buried in the deep grave hallowed by
the unholy hand of a drunken hus
band. But love lives—lives to moan
in its measureless sorrow; lives to
drag out hopeless days of agony and
nights of misery beyond comparison.
To this wife and this home the knife
of the slayer would bring relief; the
murderer’s pistol would send a mes
sage of mercy, for they would open
doors of peace for the troubled soul,
and unlock the gates of rest for the
weary heart.
Such a life, such a home, is but the
type and pattern of millions in our
land, made wretched by the licensed
dramshop. And the licensed dram
shop is made possible by Christian
votes.
What is all this temperance agita
tion for? To rouse Christians to fire
Christian ballots against these strong
holds of satan’s'kingdom.— Demorest
Tiii.es.
