.THE PRESBYTERIi
SOME EffTRESSIONS OF THE ANTISALOON
LEAGUE.
For the first time In my life I attended
the convention of the AntlSaloon
League of Virginia which held
Its 11th annual session in Richmond
last week, January 23rd-25th, inclusive.
There may be those who say this Is, or
speak of it as a quasi politico-essleslastlcal
body, but my Impressions were all
to the good. I could not help seeing,
even had I been prejudiced, that
1. It was certainly a cosmopolitan
and representative body, and
2. That it was, certainly almost, if
not quite, an ideal Christian body, and
3. That they are fully united and
desperately in earnest.
Considering these things prayerfully
and with ample time and earnestly
looking at the whole matter from every
possible view-point I am conscious of
another deep set impression, or conviction
of a much wider scope as it
touches the lives of men and of the
church, viz.: That the great rank and
file of the people of our church do not
know, either this organization, nor that
for which It stands in anv puch sense.
It is no reflection or aspersion to say
that the masses of even the intelligent
people are ignorant. I have been a
pastor now for twelve veers and I am
now serving five churches in which may
be found some good uprieM Christian
gentlemen as may be found anvwhere
in our church, yet T do not hesitate to
say that if this matter had to he settled
at the polls on 10 dav's notice T should
greatly fear the results. Some twenty

V N OF THE SOUTH
member of one of the beet old Presbyterian
churches in Virginia, I remember
well the first local option conflict. A
large number of the best men in that
church either absented themselves from
the polls or they went and openly voted
for whiskey. They called this conservatism.
The other side was radical and
extreme. The years passed. 1 finished
my course and entered the active work
of the ministry. For ten years I tried
to be faithful in one of the hardest
mission fields in Virginia. To-day after
ten yearB in that mission field on a very
small promised salary, two of those
churches owe me nearly $600, not a
penny of which I can ever get. Yet
there was more than enough spent annually
by the church members to have
paid the pitiful salary. Nor is this the
important part. I was frequently interrupted
in holding services, and on
nno npoaolnn nrnvnn
W..V WWMM vu til ICU. Ill C *CI7 Dlllgl?
Instance It was chargeable to whiskey.
Still another fact of experience In my
twelve years In the active pastorate I
have never had any trouble with any of
my officers reflecting dishonor on the
church and the cause of Christ, except
by whiskey. Once more, and perhaps
the selfish motive. God has given to
our home six children, three boys and
three girls. If I can keep whiskey
away from my little boys we will bring
them Into the church, nor will we parents
live under the fear and shadow of
a drunken son-in-law as touching the
peace and purity of the family life
through the medium of our girls. I am
speaking as a father, a pastor a citizen
ana a unnsran. ir some or tne leading
pastors of all of our churches, whose
good sense and conservatism cannot
for a moment be doubted have not
hesitated to speak out and identify
themselves with this movement for God
and humanity. Can we hesitate any
longer? May rot our great church organ
speak out In their columns and
thus quicken the consciences of that
great army of Presbyterian men who
will be heard at the polls. What higher,
nobler service could our Church
papers render to the hard working pastors
of our church? Brethren, let ua
inform the world where the great body
of Christians holding the Presbyterian
faith stands on this subject.

THE MORMOX MANIFESTO.
(Continued from Page 17.)
Elohim and Jehovah then ascend In
the elevator in sight of the audience.
Adnm: (to audience) Now, brethren,
calm your minds and be not suprised at
anything you shall see or hear; we shall
be visited soon.
Enter Devil, from back room, usually
wearing a silk hat. carrying a cane, and
' r. vlng a Masonic apron, with the pillars
surmounted by the balls.
Devil: Adam, you have a nice world
here, patterned after the world where
we used to live.
Adam: I do not remember about any
other world.
Devil: Oh, I see you have not gotten
your eyes open yet.
Goes to the tree from which he pretends
to pick fruit, which he offers to
Adam.
Devil: Here, Adam, take some of the
fruit of this tree.
Adam: I shall not partake.
Devil: Oh. you won.t. won't von?
Well, we shall Bee. Eve, will you take
some of this fruit?
Etc: Who are you?
Peril: I am your brother.
" Eve: You my brother, and come to
tempt me to disobey my father?
Peril: 1 sa'd nothing about father.
This will open your eyes, and you will
know good from evil, virtue from vice,

Ths voices of the gods are now heard
from an upper room:
EloliJm to Jehovuht The man Adam
seems to be true and faithful, let us
send down to him Peter, James, and
John.
Jehovah: That is good.
Elohim to Peter: James and John go
down to Adam, who seems to be a good
and faithful man.
(Peter, James, and John descend by
the stairway at the end of the room.)
Peter: Hello! What is going on here?
Devil: We are making religion.
Peter: What are you making It out
of?
uevn: Newspapers, novels, and notions
of men and women sugared over
with a little religion.
Peter: How does It take with this
congregation?
Devil: Pretty well, all except that
man Adam; he does not believe anything.
Peter: (to Adam) Good morning.
Peter: (taking Adam's hand) What is
that?
Adam: The first token of the Aronlc
priesthood.
Peter: Will you give It to me?

"T was reluctant to conclude that
coffee was the cauPe of mv trouble, but
I am thankful that I found out the
