That there are hundreds and thousands of the unemployed, not all of whom as some would persuade us—are lazy impostors. That the demon of drink still causes among us daily horrors which would disgrace Dahomey or Ashantee, and rakes into his coffers millions of pounds which aro wet with tears and red with blood. These are facts patent to every eye. Now God will work no miracle to mend these miseries. If we neglect them they will be left uncured, but He holds us responsible for the neglect.
