Excerpt from The Fountain: A Temperance Gift And so we invoke Heaven's blessings on our fountain. May its living waters gush out and flow forth in gladness to many a soul. May its jets, and sprays, and droppings, as they sparkle in the bright sun of truth, give assurance to many longing eyes of a better time now near us, when the waters of inebriation and death shall cease to flow, and the healing streams of righteousness spring forth before all the nations.
