Guard Your Own Door.

By Rev. T. L. Cuyler

THERE is one sort of drinking house that no State enactment can touch, and that is a private house with a decanter in its cupboard. Good friends, guard your own door with teetotalism!
A foolish rich man, who died lately, disinherited his drunken son. In the same will he bequeathed his “wine cellar” to certain heirs. That father most insanely tempted his own son to drink, and then on his dying bed gave the boy his last kick into disgrace!
The most effectual of all home protection is to guard your home. From such temperance homes will come the power to close up the public dens.— Rev. T. L. Cuyler.
