User-Contributed Transcription of its sinking with its precious freight ---- makes it larger and stronger. It sails buoy --- the waves. While the storm rages without all within it peace and joy. The ark is not of mere material perishable form which will rest upon a single mountain secluded with the rest of the world. It is a spiritual ark. It is here. It is in Ireland, in China. Whereever two human beings unite together in endeavoring to drain the earth of this flood, there is the temperance Ark. Good and wise men the world over and angels too are brought together upon the same platform, beneath the same roof, and are uniting heart and hand in forging the chain to bind the great dragon which is spewing out of his fire water to devour the inhabitants of the earth. God speaks as audibly now as he did in the days of Noah bidding all men flee to the ark for safety. He reveals his will to the little infant by giving it an undepraved appetite. We hear his voice in the punishments which accompany and vindicate his dishonored law in the bloated face, infirm limbs, and staggering gate of the drunkard and in his death bed scene when the curtain which hangs over the future is for a moment drawn and as it were the fires of hell flash in his face
