him most was the growth of presbyterianism in Japan. No doubt it did.
When the Orillia lacrosse team took their trip to Australia, they
said on their return that lacrosse was spreading all over the world.
In the same way there is said to be a spread all over the world of
Christian Science, proportional representation, militarism, peace
sentiment, barbarism, altruism, psychoanalysis and death from wood
alcohol. They are what are called world movements.

My own judgment in regard to prohibition in the British Isles is
this: In Scotland, prohibition is not coming: if anything, it is
going. In Ireland, prohibition will only be introduced when they
have run out of other forms of trouble. But in England I think that
prohibition could easily come unless the English people realise
where they are drifting and turn back. They are in the early stage
of the movement already.

Turning first to Scotland, there is no fear, I say, that prohibition
will be adopted there: and this from the simple reason that the
Scotch do not drink. I have elsewhere alluded to the extraordinary
misapprehension that exists in regard to the Scotch people and
their sense of humour. I find a similar popular error in
regard to the use of whiskey by the Scotch. Because they manufacture
the best whiskey in the world, the Scotch, in popular fancy, are
often thought to be addicted to the drinking of it. This is purely
a delusion. During the whole of two or three pleasant weeks spent
in lecturing in Scotland, I never on any occasion saw whiskey made
use of as a beverage. I have seen people take it, of course, as a
medicine, or as a precaution, or as a wise offset against a rather
treacherous climate; but as a beverage, never.
