DOING AWAY WITH LIQUOR.
When we wrote the articles which appeared in the past two months, we were not aware that at this time we would still be waiting to vote. But, since the day for the vote has not yet arrived and the time has come for publishing this edition of Pipi, we thought it good to write some words to encourage those whose hearts have been stirred to suppress this ‘food’. We also realize that there can be no letting-up in exhorting people to abolish this ‘food’ until the vote is concluded.
