When Gracie Closed a Saloon and Salvation Followed
A temperance tale contrasts a saloon keeper with his child Gracie who prays and dies, prompting him to vow never to reopen the bar. He quits drinking, keeps the pledge, and becomes a Christian, while Gracie’s faith and angelic vision underscore the moral victory. The piece ends with a quip about a husband’s brandy habit.
