I Does anyone believe that the multiplication of ! churches and schools has not the effect of proniot- j ing 'education and religion? 1 do not believe any I reasonable man will deny they have the effect de- sired in their erection. How, thn, will any man j deny that the multiplication of places where intoxi- j j eating drink is sold has not a tendency to increase intoxication j j ff a public house is set down in ihe widst of j I hard-working, industrious, sober men, look at how j ! the happiness of their homes is disturbed. j i If a public house is set down in a court en- street j j of London, you know the e-haracter of the street ! is changed. You have no power of preventing it. j When T ee a man or woman drunk; I have al- wavs a profound feeling of compassion, a great I feeling of shame, and also' a feeling of indignation, j The compassion and shame are for the victims of j drink, but the indignation is for Ihose who drive a j profitable trade in intoxicating drink. |
