day we made some alcohol. To-day we will see what alco- 

 hol does to eggs. Here is some alochol in this bottle. Let 

 us take some of the egg and put it in a dish and pour on a 

 little alcohol. " The white is turning hard and white." 

 " The alcohol is cooking the egg." 



We will set the dish on the window-sill and see what it 

 has done by recess. We will also put this piece of fresh 

 meat into some more alcohol and see what happens. I will 

 put this angleworm into some alcohol and see what it does. 



(After recess.) What did the alcohol do to the egg ? " It 

 cooked the egg." " It made it hard like leather." What 

 effect did it have on the meat ? " The meat is tough and 

 hard." 



And the worm ? " It killed the worm." 



It is a poison. It kills everything that is put into it. It 

 gets into the blood of people who drink it, and when that 

 blood gets to the brain it makes the brain hard like the 

 egg. That makes the person drunk. He cannot think. 

 He cannot walk straight. He says foolish and wicked 

 things and often kills people. It goes to his heart and 

 gives him heart disease. It goes to his liver and makes 

 him very sick. Wherever it goes it makes that part weak 

 or useless. Is not a man very foolish to put such stuff into 

 his mouth ? 



This is what the Bible says about drunkards : "A drunk- 

 ard shall not inherit the kingdom of heaven."
