Excerpt from Temperance and ProhibitionEvery opportunity to indulge that is resisted makes the individual so much stronger, or, in other words, builds lip and strengthens within him this principle of temperance. The same is true of all good and evil, which are of the heart. Outward things in themselves are neither good nor evil, but present the opportunity to resist and become stronger and better or to indulge and become weaker and worse. Christ teaches this when He says, Out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witnesses and blasphemies. And, again, in His departing prayer, He asks God not to take the apostles out of the world, but to strengthen them against the evils in it. God does not want people taken away trom the so called evil things, nor does He want the things removed His apparent purpose is to cause us to fight, resist and over come and by so doing develop purer, stronger and nobler character. This is the only rational mode of building up the principle of temperance.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
