If all the citizeDs of our country 'were Christian*, tbeu there would be no liquor question at all for no one would aouee its us*?then we should have no courte, either' criminal nr niwil Thp r?ifr.v ia ihftt. fhia u not true and that the reverse is true ?a great many of tbe citizeDBbip of our county are not CtuistidDs at d are actuated by principles and motives that 8re not even just not to say Christian. The Christian citizen tbeu has a two fold duty?first, to his God and his courcb?second, to his country. His church is a divine iusntu tion, governed and controlled by rules and laws based on divine command and its mission is to save tbe soul from eternal -punishment It has to do not only with a man's acts toward his neighbor and his neighbor's property, but it goes deeper and further and has to do with a man's thoughts, with his intentions, with his desires and with his passions as they are born in the mind before they are given utter i a .J T. t aoce or acsea upon, it Das to do with spiritual and eternal things The Christian citkizen in his Fecond relation is a part of the government or State. He must obey its laws?"Render unto Ceaearthe things that are Ceasar's and to God the things that are God's." Ia this relation be has to do with the fempnrBl welfare and happiness of the people of his State. As a citizen bis wotk is for time, not eternity. He shonld act oa cooditioos as he finds them, not on conditions which should exist. If wrongs exist in the government they should be righted as nearly as the conditions of the people will permit. Government beiDg a human institution and controlled and managed wholly by man, must at its best very be imperfect. So that it often happens that the church member as a citizen is brought face to face with two evils, one of which in his capacity as citizen he must accept. Two men are candidates for the same office? both are unfit?one more so than the other. He rightly votes for the better of the two. Two policies of gov ernment are advocated by each of the political parties?both parties are more or lesB correc -shere are plaDks in the platforms of each which are more or lees unjust. He rightly votes for the nominees of the party nf least corruDtion and the nlatfnrm ~ i - r least objectionable. The Bale of whiskey, if prohibited, most be prohibited by government If permitted by the government. The church as an institution could not do it if it so desired, and it should not desire to do eo because that is not within its work. Therefore the sale or the prohibition of the sale of liquors is a governmental and not a cnurch question, and the church member as a citizen must act upon it as he would act on other political questions?choose the lesser of the two evils. Hence he aske, is wrong for the State to sell whiskey i Which is the lesser evil, to sell it itself, by its own agent?Dispensary, or authorize another person to sell for his own benefit?Bar rooms? The Dispensary system puts all sellers under a bond and on salary?takiDg away the temptation to sell. The bar room seller makes all he can and like all of us wants more. Only the abuse of whiskey is sinful aDd there is a legitimate use for it. When we vote for the Dispensary law we vote for the law as it is administered; if it is true that it is badly administered. This law offers liquors for sale only for legitimate purposes, under it no liquors should be sold which are to be used for intoxication. So the citizen is not selling whiskey as the old bar room keeper sold it, if the State sells under the Dispensary. But if liquors are sold under a license, still the citizen is as much a seller of whiskey in that way as under the Dispensary, for it cannot be successfully contradicted that the bar room keeper, selling under a license, is any less the agent of the State than the dispenser. So we contend that the sale of whiskey by Dispensaries for only legitimate, and not sinful, purposes is both legitimate and proper and casts no odium on the citizen. If the whiskey is sold for legitimate pur poses and used for wroDg or sinful purposes tbe State is no more to blame than the merchant who sells a box of matches to a customer to build a fire in bis house, but who takes some of tbe matches and burns bis neighbors house. ' All thoughtful and observant citizens know that many men will have whiskey for legitimate purposes and many for improper use, lawfully if they can, unlawfully if they muss. Then if they assist in making the conditions such that they cannot get it lawfully then they assist in making a law to be disobeyed, which is wrong both in the sight of God and man. E. G. T. DURHAM VERSUS WEAViii. The Philadelphia Bess and His Cente?t With the Mayor. Israel W. Durham used to be known as "boss of Philadelphia." Since his break with Mayor Weaver over the gas tease proposition he has been shorn of much of the power that he formerly possessed as the head of a political machine. For about ten years Durham has been a leading figure in the affairs of Philadelphia. For half a dozen years he was the power be IS HAUL W. DUEHAM. \ kind the throne in the government of the city, and it is said that nothing of importance \var done without his approval ac'i consent. He took up Weaver when the latter was practically unknown and brought about his nomination first for district attorney and then for mayor, and for a time Weaver was criticised for accepting macm-ae .ictution ana oemg Durban:':* man," but there came a time the mayor thought fit to part .Company with him. Durham was bom Jn Philadelphia in tS56. He attended the public schools, including high school, and started to loam the bricklayer's trade, but went into the flour business with his father. He began his political career as a reformer, helping to beat the regular organization candidate of his party and elect a representative of the opposite party to the select council. He was chosen a magistrate In 1885; hence is known as "judge." He assisted Senator Quay in overturning a former Philadelphia boss, David Martin, and has been a lieutenant of Senator Penrose. He at present holds the office of insurance commissioner. Durham's power as a political leader has been ? attributed to his democratic ways and , affability and to his reputation for fair dealing with his political associates. Always Liberal to Churches.
