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

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. If* Christ was in body here |

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

Liquor Cure" and no more

would be removed and we could

ire i ashamed to call ourselves Chrisian
citizens.
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. If you don't find
t, then be true to yourself, your famly
and your God and vote against it.
fou often wonder why God withholds
lis rain and sunshine, why He riddles
'our crop9 with 9torm and hail, yon
wonder at your loss of property, your
