Putting Brandy In Its Place
Illustration★★★Bishop Asbury was a guest of a family where brandy was placed on the table, and he was invited to partake, but he declined. The lady blushed, and said, “Bishop, I believe that brandy is good in its place.” “So do I,” said Mr. Asbury; “if you have no objection I will put it in its place:” so he put it in the old-fashioned Pm in the corner of the room, saying, “That is the place, and there let it stay;” and there it did stay, never to be brought on the table again.
The point
Bishop Asbury declines brandy at dinner and firmly puts it away for good, modeling uncompromising personal abstinence.
