3. It subjects numberless wives to untold suffering, and reduces many women and children to beggary.

4. It occasions most of the pauperism, crimes of violence, and insanity.

5. It occasions enormous expenditure to prevent and punish crime, relieve its paupers, and counteract its immoral influence, and so burdens the community with heavy taxes, and makes Urge demands on private charity.

6. Drunkards want the temptation removed.

7. It is not a necessity, and the interests of the rising generation imperatively require its suppression.

"Once to every man and nation comes the moment to decide,
In the strife of Truth with Falsehood, for the good or evil side,
Some great cause, God's new Messiah, offering each the bloom or blight,
Parts the goats upon the left hand, and the sheep upon the right,
And the choice goes by for ever twist that darkness and that light."
