DESCRIPTION
------------------------------------------------------------------------

In this sermon, the preacher discusses the negative effects of alcohol
consumption on society. He highlights the new law passed by Congress,
which imposes a two-dollar tax on whiskey and a five-dollar tax on beer.
The preacher argues that this will result in a significant amount of
money being taken out of legitimate trade channels, leading to a
decrease in spending on essential items such as food, clothes,
education, and automobiles. He emphasizes that what America truly needs
is not the repeal of the law, but repentance and righteousness, and that
the solution lies in turning to Jesus rather than material possessions.

CONTENT

Food sold to a preacher or a high school girl has the same effect as
when it's sold to an automobile thief or a horse thief. Congress has
passed a law putting $2 a tax on whiskey, and they expect to realize
$300 million. That means that the American people have not to buy and
drink 150 million gallons a year.

They have to put $5 a barrel tax on beer. That means the people have not
to buy and drink 32 million barrels of beer a year. It doesn't take a
lawyer to figure out that if you do that, you take that much money out
of the legion of the channels of trade.

You spend that much less for food and clothes and boots and shoes and
education and automobiles. Oh, America didn't need repeal. She needed
repentance.

She didn't need wrong. She needed righteousness. We don't need Jags.

We need Jesus. We don't need Lord Brock. We need Lord God.
