(From a Speech in I'hiladelphi
March 15. 1915. Moderate Drink
era and Drunkards.)
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.

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[

to pledge fidelity to marriage vojvs? P'ace,
The pledge marks the crossing of '"n'' P'ea?a
