Excerpt from The Saloon-Keeper's Ledger: A Series of Temperance Revival Discourses My eloquent friend and neighbor, Dr. Louis Albert Banks, has been doing what every pastor may wisely imitate. He has been giving his own people, and the large numbers outside of his own membership who resort to the Hanson Place M. E. Church, a series of most instructive discourses on the vital question of Temperance. For a whole week the spacious church edifice was thronged on every evening, and several neighboring ministers were called in to preside at these large assemblages, and to offer their own brief contribution of practical truth. The crying need of the hour is a fresh education of the public mind and conscience in regard to the curse of strong drink. The reason why laws prohibiting the sale of intoxicants are not passed - or if passed are left in some places to become a dead letter - is that the majority of the people in such places believe in buying and in drinking intoxicants.
