Christianity and Drunkenness

According to Archdeacon Farrar, "in India the English have made one hundred drunkards for one Christian, and are girding the earth with drunkenness." But the Archdeacon need not stop here. In China the English have made two hundred opium smokers and eaters for one Christian, and are girding the earth with opium fumes. Every subject has its pessimistic side; and Christianity—nominal Christianity as involved in a Christianized civilization—is under heavy indictments, and despite what we hear about the morality of the nations in some quarters, matters are not mending. Quite the reverse. —Christian at Work.
