A Parable.

A CERTAIN man going up from youth to manhood, fell among grog-shops, where he was stripped of his money, his character, and his friends, and left poor and half dead with disease. And by chance there came down a moderate drinker that way, and when he saw him he passed by on the other side. And likewise a friend of temperance came where he was, and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side. But a temperance man as he journeyed, came to where he was, and when he saw him he had compassion on him and went to him, and wept over him, and besought him with tears to repent and reform. And he persuaded him to sit upon his own beast, Total Abstinence, and brought him to his family, and they took care of him. And in the morning he spoke kindly to him, and offered up prayers for him, and departed.
Which of these was neighbor to him that fell among grog-shops?
