The Christian Temperance Crusade May 13, 2005 SCTX San Marcos, Texas Dear Scott Perhaps you have heard of me, and my nation-wide campaign in the cause of temperance. Each year, since 1992, I have made a tour of North America, delivering a series of lectures on the evils of drink. On these crusades, I have been accompanied by a young friend, Mr. William Sparrow. Bill was a pathetic case. A young man of good family and excellent background, whose life was destroyed by excessive indulgence in liquor. How much better it would have been if he had spent his life in a more useful and productive way. He would appear with me at my lectures, and sit on the stage drooling at the mouth, and staring at the audience through vacant, bloodshot eyes, while I would point him out as an example of what alcohol can do to an otherwise worthwhile human being. Unfortunately, last month wretched Bill finally succumbed to the demon drink. However, a mutual friend has given me your name, and I wonder if you might be interested in replacing poor William as part of my summer campaign, which starts in a few weeks. Please give this matter some serious thought, as I am confident many people more fortunate than yourself would gain a great deal of enlightenment from a person as destitute and devoid of moral character as yourself. Awaiting your reply, I remain; Sincerely yours; R. Dawson Reverend Robert Dawson |
