Excerpt from Permanent Temperance Documents of the American Temperance Society, Vol. 1 In the evils which this Society aims to remove, the connection between error in princip e, and immorality in practice, is strikingly exhibited. Less than three hundred years ago, * the error began to prevail in Great Britain, that ardent spirit, as an article of luxury or diet, or as an aid to labor, is useful. The cause of this error was, the deceptive feelings of those who used it. Being, in its nature, a mocker, it deceived them. By disturbing healthy action and inducing disease, it created an unnatural thirst; the gratification of which, like the gratification of the desire of sinning in the man who sins, causes it to increase; and the end is death.
