Drunkenness in India and the Need for the Gospel

The Rev. J. P. Jones, of India, speaking at the Cincinnati Christian Endeavor Convention, on the prevalence of drunkenness in India, said that before the coming of the Anglo-Saxon, India was a sober country, and that “if England should evacuate India to-day, the greatest evidence of her occupancy would be the number of empty whisky bottles.” This only shows that the heathen need a work done for them not by a “Christian nation,” but by Christianity; not by “civilization,” but by the gospel.
