WHAT ENGLAND’S PRESENT FOREIGN SECRETARY ONCE SAID.
Lord Curzon, when Viceroy of India, in 1901 said: “Drink is a leper spot on the surface of the nation, a moral canker eating into the vitality of our people, and producing effects which do not die with the year, or the life, or even the generation, but which will be reproduced from year io year, from generation to generation in a terrible legacy of poverty, misery and crime. If I am ever called to high office in England, temperance will have no back place in my programme.”—Exchange.
Lincoln: “I am not bound to win, but lam bound to be true. lam not bound to succeed, but I am bound to live up to the light I have. • Stand with anybody that stands right. Stand with him while he i 9 right, and part with him when he goes wrong.”
