F. M. L. L. Waonon, T. C. Duncan, Secy, W. M. Stop! Think! Consider! Oil! how many christians and how many church members have we stunned by the terrible curso that has lieen set up in our midst. My brother, my sister, God tells us to lay not temptations Ixdore thy weaker brother. I Now, my brother and sister, let mo appeal to your true spirit which is Christ in the person. Open your eyes and look through the faith you have in your God. Can't you see the curse set up right here with a smiling face to meet the weak Christian and minor lx>y? i Here they stand day after day haiiding out the cursed stuff that fires the brain and destroys the God-given powers of man. Oh! this liquor curse! Churches what are you doing, arc you sleeping? Awake and arm yourselves against the wilds of the devil that comes through strong drink. Where is the man, say nothing of Christianity, but just the man, that can stand up and say the world is free, I have nothing to do with it. If a man wants to vote in the cursed stuff let him vote, and if he wants to drink down the fiery flame, let him drink it. Is thore a man among us that can say this? I hope not. I trust that every man, especially Christians, yes, the full membership of the church, also the man that has fallen victim to the cursed stuff and his mental powers weakened by the destructive flames of the stuff * that brings the curse upon our land. Now, is there one that can stand and say,-Ix't him vote, or let him vote, or let him drink. If any man can vote for the powers of the devil to sway our country. There is not one that can do it with his face turned heavenward; God soy8 so. Put not the bottle to thy brother's mouth. Put on the breastplate of eternal lifn onrl liivf HUV4 Ullll JUUIDC1VUJ5 U^illlirtt tut* soul destroyer, the clear, the red and sparkling devil with his smiles. God is our refuge. Stand firm, cry out, away with the cursed stuff, away with it. Christian, you must hind yourselves in a bundle against the curse that the wicked one has chosen and brought into our town claiming the needs of the dividend to educate the hrain. I appeal to our churches, not one, but all, come ye out from among the world and be ye a separate people. Let your light shine, may it be as a city set upon a hill, so the world will have to raise its head and l<x>k up to Christ's followers. Christian, can't you stand firm and fight the good fight of faith. Speak out for the Ixml. If you 'can't speak, rise and stand firmly on your feet, till the victory is won. We hear a man say, "My father always kept something nice to drink on his sideboard, and it didn't hurt me." 1 esteem my father's view of matters. He was a broad minded man, not weak or narrow, he wanted the world to rush on, have a good time. But, oh! man where 1 are you? The son that the father put the bottle to his mouth. Where are you standing Unlay? Are you that shining light for Christ, or, are you in the gutter with the drunkard? There are only two sides to this question, the rigltt side and the wrong side. Now, if Clod be God, serve him, but if Baal be God serve him. Take time to reason with the true God, ere when too late you will find that you are influenced by the devil, then he bitetli like a serpent and stingeth like an adder.
