A Deadly Plant and the Liquor Question in British Temperance
A fervent temperance piece argues that the liquor traffic is a plant not planted by God and must be rooted out. It cites John Wesley and the Preston seven, urges temperance women to boycott licensed trades, and notes the Kent Temperance Federation’s Ramsgate congress and moral concerns in Normandy. General Gatacre’s Soudan brigade is commended for strict temperance and hard training.
