THE

Women's War with Whisky;

OR,

CRUSADING IN PORTLAND.


BY

Mrs. F. F. VICTOR.

Thus saith the Lord of hosts, Consider ye, and call for the mourning women, that they may come; and send for cunning women, that they may come:

And let them make haste, and take up a wailing for us, that our eyes may run down with tears, and our eyelids gush out with waters.

***

Yet hear the word of the Lord, O ye women, and let your ear receive the word of his mouth, and teach your daughters wailing, and every one her neighbour lamentation.

For death is come up into our windows, and is entered into our palaces, to cut off the children from without, and the young man from the streets.

—JEREMIAH IX: 17, 18, 20, 21.
