“Now, when we are up against serious things, when the verities are being revealed, the New Advocates of Temperance have discovered what we taught long ago. We cannot win with drink for drink, and the best are incompatible. The world’s tragedy and the world’s need have led great folk to see what drink really is and does. What Temperance people have long and truly taught, war is publicly demonstrating, shouting it from the housetops. Men cannot be best in body, brain, or soul with alcohol. Alcohol wipes out the best bit! The keen edge of muscle and nerve, the fine impulsive processes of thought, and those highest powers whereby all communicate with and become part of the divine and the highest.”— Captain Arthur Evans, MS. (a distinguished surgeon serving at the Front).
