Superintendent J. K. Breedin, of the
Anti-Saloon League, Columbia, could
he lead for supply work in eur church?
es; and a mare acceptable substitute
for the pastor our churcehee would
have di acuity In finding. The morn?
ing sen ice would be devoted to tho
general themes and work of the king?
dom; but he would give the evening
hour to temperance work in South
Carolina And our churches want to
hear of this work. Mr. Breedin, we
believe, floes not take collections at
these eet vices. If a pastor or church
should want to use this occasion for
ao good i purpose there Is no rule of
the league forbidding It. But we aay
what we do that It may be under?
stood that the collection Is not what
he le after. Superintendent Breedin
would give your people a good day
whether you are present, or absent.
