That's usually a good sleuthing method, but here's the poster I cropped that image from.

Friendly Persuasion!

I think our listeners will all be wanting a "Peterson Bible" now... marketing opportunity? 😉

Thanks so much for being our guest!

By 1900, American Friends could lose their membership for drinking or selling alcohol. Quakers in Britain followed a similar pattern, though were never as committed.

Today, some Friends continue to abstain from alcohol as an article of faith, though more practice moderation.

By the early 1800s, workers of the industrial revolution were self-medicating with alcohol to cope with their grueling lives. It was clear that much of the violence in society could be traced to alcoholism. As the American Temperance movement grew, so did Quakers’ belief in abstinence.
