Talks

Excerpt from Talks

Sweet with the perfume of an unselfish love, the life of Francis Murphy was a benediction to millions, and his friendship will ever be a blessed memory to the writer.

It was his earnest desire that some mes sage should abide after his death, in order that the world might remember the great truth of gospel temperance for which his work stood. This matter often occupied his thoughts in the closing year of his life, and it is in answer to a request made by him just before his last illness, that I pre sent these talks.

In selecting from among his published letters, all of which it was my privilege to edit, I have sought to choose those best calculated to bear in brief his message of gospel temperance, as this little book may be followed by a more comprehensive history of his life work.
