J. ROOF ; ON THE DISPENSARY ; Says Ellimination Will Cut Down to One-Fourth Num- a ber of Inmates of Asylums v and Penitentiary. POINTS OUT ITS EVILS \ t (Continued From Last Week.) j. Here, then, my friend, is the soiu- f tionrjSYon voted for the man that t *!>? 1 om tVvof maHfi I , LLlttUC Clio 1C9VV) 1 liOU j sary, that made the drunkard, that j ruined the happiness of that home. a You did this, as sure as God is true, s you are in part responsible for that lost soul. But nonsense) Would to God people had enough blood money. "All our money is spent elsewhere . for whiskey and we get no profits." * There is no such thing as profits in whiskey. The money is in the county 0 already. What you and I must do is ^ to get the people to spend it right. Our boys and men leave out of the county and spend large sums of money ' for evil purposes in the ill-famed 3 houses of our cities. Why not estab- 3 lish these houses in our little towns ' and license them and get our revenue ^ from them? fcThese houses are no less 1 the devil's products than the Dispen- 1 sary. The law protects both alike, ^ one leads to the other. It's not "equal I rights to all" to trap the ignorant in 5 order to get their hard earned wages. * 1 spend my dollar when and where I 9 please. Yes, I say the Church of the a living God is suffering abuse and * shame at the hands of unfaithful a members. I am not courting popular- c ity, but I do say that no true man of God can afford to vote for a thing that c works in direct opposition to His 1 Church. If men will have whiskey, t if they carry their will power and backbone in their hip pocket, let them get it the best they can; but for the sake of all that's good, let's keep the 1 temptation from before our young boys. If the Dispensary carries, sup- ^ pose we place one in front of your house? Oh, no, you answer. Then why do you want to vote ^ to stick it under your neighbor's nose? If it's voted in the board can place it , where they please without the consent of the people. This is law. We don't want it here in Chapin. It has proven a curse and a shame to our lit- 1 tie town. Ladies were afraid to walk * the streets because of the ill-manner- 1 ed sots. ^ Do you "love your neighbors as yourself" as Christ commands? Then 1 if you don't want it under your nose don't vote to place it under your neighbor's. This would be politeness at least. Some one says: "You better be attending to your own work." I am. Whatever is a menace or drawback to my church is my business to fight. Civil and religious affairs go . hand in hand. Some think though they can be political devils and religious Christians at the same time. Paul.'says, "The powers that be are ordained of God." He has ruled since creation and is ruling today and will rule until the end of time. If His Church doesn't uphold morality and sobriety, what will? Not the Dispen- k sary traffic. God says: "No liar c shall enter into eternal life." Must I 1 favor lying? "No murderer has eternal life." Must I fayor murder? "No rogue has eternal life." Must I favor ^ stealing? "No adulterer has eternal ^ life." Must I favor ill-famed houses? ^ "No drunkard has eternal life." Must ^ I favor drunkedness? I do if I vote for whiskey. Isn't this logical reasoning? The non church member can vote as he pleases, but he must vote a as it pleases God. Ask your spiritual j leader and God's Word how you should j vote.

Because He's a Christ if sobriety and love and not of coruption and drunkedness. Yet men have presented these lists ,nd they have been signed on Sunday mder the eaves of His Holy Church. Eliminate whiskey from our country ind what will happen? We would leed no "Keeiy Institute," no "Mcianna Liquor Cure" and no more han one-fourth of the room in our i )enitentiarv and asylums.

The true church member should ;ive this vote no other decission but u favor of God and His cause. All he above evils flow from the fountain if the liquor traffic and we all know his. Then, let's be men and not jelly Lsh and vote on God's side. _ [y I don't ask any one to take my 7ord for this, go to the Bible and if ou'find where the holy spirit directs cu to vote for this liquor traffic, vote or it and cite the passage to me and I rilf vote likewise.
