CHAPTER X.

LICENSE-LAW--LEGISLATIVE REFORM.

“A Government should so legislate as to make it easy to do right and difficult to do wrong.”--W. E. GLADSTONE.

“As I looked at the Hospital wards to-day, and saw that seven out of ten owed their diseases to alcohol, I could but lament that the teaching about this question was not more direct, more decisive, more home-thrusting than ever it had been.... It is when I myself think of all this, that I am disposed to rash to the opposite extreme, to give up my profession, to give up everything, and to go forth upon a holy crusade, preaching to all men--_Beware of this enemy of the race_.”--SIR ANDREW CLARK, M.D., Physician in Ordinary to the Queen, Senior Physician at the London Hospital.

“Ah Lord God! there is nothing too hard for Thee.”--JER. xxxii. 17.
