The Church Against Intemperance

A CHRISTIAN woman in Illinois, says the London Freeman, recently followed a drinker, in whom she was deeply interested, into a saloon. Just as he was about to take a glass she tapped him gently on the shoulder and requested him to go with her. He complied, and as they marched toward the door the saloon-keeper recovered sufficiently from his amazement to ejaculate, "That beats the devil!" The lady turned and emphatically retorted, "Yes, sir; it was my intention to beat the devil." If it is the intention of the church to beat the devil, his Gibraltar of intemperance must not be ignored.
