Hut there is another reason wh one should not drink at all, name ly. the danger of drinking to e> ess. It can not be truthfully sai that every moderate drinker be romes a drunkard, but it is true tha every drunkard comes from th number of those who drink mode: atelv; none come from the ranks o the total abstainers. F rcmcm her tr? h:ivp hp;ircl a t<*m peratiee lecturer use an illustratioi when I was a boy. I pass it on ti those of this generation. He admit ted that there is a difference be tween the moderate drinker and th< Irunkard, but he described it as th< Mfference between the pig and th hog the itog being a little olde than the pig. The drunkard has indulged tie habit longer and to a greater exten than the moderate drinker, but th< moderate drinker is on the roa< over which the drunkard must travel before he becomes a sot. and in moderate drinker can be absolutely ?ure that he will not be overcom* by the appetite. There is no time in life, frorr youth to old age. when it is safe fot a man to cultivate a taste for alcO' holic drinks, and surely it is thf part of wisdom not to drink at al when drinking brings no advantage ?nd when drink even in small quant tties, impairs one's capacity; when the us** of alcohol affects the chll 1 if the drinker and when in addition to all these, a drink* r runs the risk ' being overcome by the appetite. Itut let me give you another r*adii for total abstinence Xo on* an afford to nend monov for drink. not even a suiull amount of money Mon?'\ should not t><- wasted, and it s worse than wasted when it is used for that which. Instead of benefit ting. does harm Thorn are so manv good HS4-S tfiat <an he made of tnoney that it senilis strange that an> on? should Ik- willing *o spnnd money for ntoxicating liquors. Go among those who drink and inn to what actual needs the money could he applied. It would improve and make more sanitary the houses in which they live; it would clothe their children; it would bring more comfort to the home, not to speak of the more substantial pleasures vhich the drinker himself would he able to enjoy. ff one does not need all his money, -ilher for immediate use or as a protection against the infirmities of age, the world around presents opportunities for the uses of money in innumerable altruistic ways. There is 110 investment so profitable as investment in humanity. He. who out of brotherly love aids his fellow man in proportion as he is able to aid. draws from such contributions of joy infinitely more satisfaction than can he derived from the use of liquor. \ MOTIVK KG It CO.WSCIKNTMMS N KSo. f liavc spoken of the reason bas <l upon physical welfare, and of the reason based upon the obligation that rests upon man to make a wise use ot his means, but there is a third reason, which, to my mind, can not :;;il to impress the man who is guid d by his conscience, namely, the ise which man should make fit his example. The great \postle Paul said he won Id eat no more meat made his brother to offend. it was not liecause Paul did not like meat, but because lie loved his brother more than he loved meat. Is it asking too much of any human being to ask that lie consider the influence of his example upon those about him especially to those who look to him for counsel. Indulgence compels silence on the subject. A man can not advise others not to drink when he himself drinks. If a man does not drink much; if he has not formed the habit of drinking, it can be but little sacrifice to give up drinking entirely and thus make his example helpful to those about him. If he drinks so much and the appetite for liquor is so strong that it would be a great sacrifice to stop ne ought to stop on his own account In addition to the arguments al ready presented, I feel that I am jus tilled in calling your attention tr another reason why such individual should do all in his power to indue* lis fellow-man to abstain entirely from the use of intoxicating liquor.* as a beverage. It is that we are sr bound together that we can not es cape from the indirect efTect of any thing that is harmful to society.

Objection has l^e been made to the pledge on the ^mer'can ground that it suggests lack of 'loon<' an' j i strength of character; some have in- ^ e 8UT sisted that, although never intend ' ing to drink, they would not wish 1 ma^e 'J' ^ \ I to bind themselves by a pledge. , tlful spots There is nothing humiliating u8a'^ about a pledge. Those who are unit- ,0 1 e ed in marriage make a pledge at' sa* l',at J[ the altar; why should it be less hon- 'eet* orahle to promise not to drink than aut>- ' to pledge fidelity to marriage vojvs? P'ace, The pledge marks the crossing of '"n'' P'ea?a the line into the ranks of total ab-, **?u' un stainers The man who says, "I (,"n- O vv ill not sign a pledge," raises the Abraham , same suspicion that Is raised when PurP?8? ?' a man savs to you.
