the POISON OF ALCOHOL.

Why does a drink of liquor
seem to quiet the nerves?
Why do your nerves need
“quieting?”
Your system has been accum

your years of dnnKing. All these
years you have been punishing
your nerves with the worst pos

could inflict; they have come to
demand alcohol and will not be

Last night at the evening ser
vice a large congregation was
present and it was a great ser
vice from the very start.
The subject of the discourse
was “I Thought On My Ways”
and the text was Ps. 11/), 59-60.
“I thought on my ways, and
turned my feet unto thy testi
monies; I made haste, and de
layed not to keep thy command
ments.”
It is no trouble to reach a man
who will ,stop and think, if he

We find all the great men of this
world have been men of thought.
Noah' was a thinker, Moses
was a thinker, David was a
thinker. They did not shake
their heads and say “not to
night.” Some people are so neg
ative they can’t moved.
David was a man that when
he was convinced that a thing
was right, he moved at once.

This is a bad town for cussing
and drinking. It is loaded down
with cussers and the churches
have become a by-word. Let me
ask you cussers a few questions:
Do you_ believe in stealing?
You say there is a stautory
law against that in this state.
And the Bible says “Thou shalt
not steal.” Do you believe in
killing? No. No, there is a
statutory law against that and
the Bible says “Thou shalt not
kill.” Do you swear? Yes, but
it is just a habit. Did you ever
stop to think that there is a
statutory law against that too,
and that the same Bible says
“Thou shalt not swear?” Did
you ever stop to think that God
made a stronger plea against
swearing than for any other, for
there is no excuse for it. “Thou
shalt not take the name ox the
Lord thy God in vain; for the
Lord will not hold him guiltless
that taketh His name in vain.”
If you would stop and think
you would never do it again.
Boys there are men .in this
town that never will reform.
They are vile and, low and all
they think of is to make money.
Boys, all you can do is to de
termine to be a man, think and
turn to Christ and make haste
to obey the commandments, and
determine to have a strong char
acter. If you swear boys, stop
it just now.
It is a shame for business men
to swear. A gentleman won’t do
it.
I don’t care what your job is,
How poor you are, you can be a
hero, a prince.
Church members wake up and
raise this town to a higher plane.
You have got to make sin un
popular in this town. You have
got to take your stand against!
sin.
If you are going to succeed
young man, you must quit your
whiskey, swearing and laying
around the pool halls.
In this age you must clean up;
you will fail if you don’t.
It is a great day when men
will make up their minds to be
men.
