believe in alcohol-of power uper-human;
the Maker of misery and want; and in intox-
icating drinks, his lawfully begotten children ;
conceived by depraved men, and born of the
still or the ,fermenting vat; suffered to exist
under licehce and tax; which, being drank,
leads to degradation, suffering, and woe.


Day after day he continueth his work; and,
ascending into the brain, produces crime, stu
por, or imbecility. He sitteth on the right
hand of the Landlord from whence he comelh
to transform man into state beneath the
brute beast.


I believe in all strong drinks; the unity OF
all evil; the communion of drunkards; the
society Of the profane; the resentment OF in
juries; the destruction of the body in this life
and an entire neglect Of the life to come. Amen
