HE TOLD WHY.
Asked why lie became a teetotaller the Bishop of London replied: “I am a teetotaller to try and help other people. I have been a teetotaller for about twenty-five years, because in my ministerial w’ork 1 found many of my brothers were tempted to drink. The fact that I was not myself tempted did not in the least prevent my feeling that even Christ did not please Himself. Christ did not claim His rights: He laid His rights aside. Therefore, if you can help a brother by laying aside any right you may have, it seems to me you are only trying to follow Him in the right spirit.”—
“Scottish Temperance Reformer.”
