Excerpt from A Text-Book of True Temperance
Fanatical abstainers are never tired of protesting that the world would be an infinitely better place if what they call the curse of drink were removed from mankind. To this we agree, sans argument; for the curse of drink is intemperance, and we are as much concerned to do away with that as the veriest teetotaler. But what about the blessing of drink, which consists in true temperance or wise indulgence: which lends the highest zest to life, being indeed the chief author of social happiness, and fortifies the soul of man against the approaches of age and the visita tions of calamity; which has inspired the'noblest races of men to fulfill their destiny and clearly distinguished them from those over Whom they were called to bear rule; which has written the choicest poetry and com posed the divinest music in the world; which has enabled genius to depict its most splendid creations on the canvas or to carve them in marble; finally, which has contributed SO much to cheer and support the onward march of humanity?
