Good Advice
Good Advice.
A Quaker was advising a drunkard to leave off his habit of drinking strong drink.
" Can you tell me how to do it?" asked the poor man.
" Why, it is just as easy as to open thy hand, friend," answered the Quaker.
" Convince me of that, and I will promise to do as you tell me, said the other.
" Well, friend, when thou findest a glass of liquor in thy hand, open the hand that holds it before it gets to thy mouth, and thou wilt never get drunk again."
This is a sure cure. This will keep every one of you from this great sin, and it will save your friends who are in danger.
