Amos on Alcohol and the Amos of 1954 Sermon
The piece discusses the prophet Amos warning that social sins such as alcohol abuse contribute to a nation's decline. It argues no single vice destroys a country and links liquor to selfishness, greed, dishonesty, and societal harm, including accidents, crime, and erosion of self-control among churchgoers and the wealthy. It also includes a separate public financial statement by Otto Windish, treasurer, detailing road and bridge fund receipts and expenditures for Rosefield Township, Peoria County, Illinois, for 1953-54.
