A PROMPT REPLY.
A temperance lecturer was describing to his audience how his life had been influenceed by total abstinence. “You know,” he said, “that I am now head of my business. Four years ago there were two men in our office who held positions above mine. One was dismissed through drunkenness, the other was led into crime, and is now in prison—and all through nthat cursed drink, the invention of the devil! Now, what I ask is,” he cried—’’what has raised me to my present high position?” "Drink!” was the unexpected reply he received from a member of his audience.
