Soul, Not Liquor, Satisfies

FLORENCE L. KAUFFMAN

The use of intoxicating liquor is frequently the cover-up for dissatisfaction, inferiority, failure. Often it leads to other forms of depravity.

In discussing the cause of temperance, Mrs. Eddy declares, "Whatever intoxicates a man, stultifies and causes him to degenerate physically and morally." Miscellaneous Writings, pp. 288, 289; Then she continues, "Strong drink is unquestionably an evil, and evil cannot be used temperately: its slightest use is abuse; hence the only temperance is total abstinence. Drunkenness is sensuality let loose, in whatever form it is made manifest."
