Excerpt from The Holy Bible Repudiates "Prohibition" Compilation of All Verses Containing the Words "Wine" Or "Strong Drink," Proving That the Scriptures Commend and Command the Temperate Use of Alcoholic Beverages I was reared on a farm, a son of Scotch and Irish parents from whom I inherited the highest reverence for religion and the Bible. I began reading the Bible as soon as I was able to read at all and my necollection is that I had read it consecutively through before I had so read any other book. The habit of my youth in reading the Bible has been continued to this day and it is a source of gratification to be able to say that my confidence in the Bible and in the true ministers of God has grown with my years. I have been a whisky merchant and manufacturer for forty years and believe now, as I always have believed, that there is no more moral turpitude in manufacturing and selling an intoxicat mg liquor than there is in manufacturing and selling any other product, of course realizing that man is responsible to God for his every act and that the conditions surrounding every individual act must be taken into consideration in determining whether it be right or wrong. This applies to every business and condition in life. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
