Excerpt from A Woman's Life-Work: Labors and Experiences of Laura S. Haviland
The figures of our national bill for drink are astounding. The appalling fact that there are about or one in seven of all our people, young and old, who drink; and that we spend $100 for drink for every dollar we spend for ministers when we see our loved ones falling under the withering blight of this Upas tree, we look to the Lord Jesus for ability and wisdom to cry aloud and spare not until our day's work is done for the Master.
