Rcform .
New York, August 2 — Bishop
Henry C. Putter delivered the
principal address today at the for
inal opening of “The SuVV\ ay
Tavern,” a model saloon which
was established by a number of
leaders of the reform movement in
in this city. The purpose of the
purpose of the promoters of the
enterprise is to serve pure liquor
and food at low prices under the
best possible moral conditions. In
his address Bishop Potter said the
keynote had been struck by this |
attack on the liquor situation. He
said he believed in the o ! d village
tavern as a meeting place where a
long evening could be spent with¬
out the necessity of intoxication.
( 4 I belong to a dozen clubs,” he]
said. “If I want to go out to din
ner or a social evening I can do s.»
in any of these clubs. But what
of the man who lives in two rooms
with five small children. He has
no club. To get his glass of beer
he must go into the saloon.
“This is the greatest social
movement New York has ever
known. It is a movement eve^y
one of you must take into account
if you would save the republic.”
Bish >p Potter concluded by
wishing every .-uccess to the move¬
ment. The formal opening < nded
by the singing of the doxology.

Our Real Blessing
What is it you ask? Tis not a
splendid, well equipped fire com
panv, with water works in abun
dance tor their use. Oh no, with
all the wealth and public spirit
which many of our citizens possess
they partly secure them.-^elyes
against heavy loss by “Insurance”
then quietly wait till the cry of
4 i fire” is heard, the bells peal
forth our danger and they run
some with water buckets
4 4 empty handed” and fall to work
to pull away such things as may
be saved; then, helpless and sot
rowful stand by to see the flames
do their terrible work, with uo
power to stay them. Me. have
the blessing of electric lights over
part of our little city, but even
these are dim when the streets are
llgdtfc,d the glaring flames ot
burning buildings.
We have too, the blessing of a
I brave y,,utlg iuilitar v company to
-
guaid the P‘'°P ert y which the fire
* ai ^ ed t0 destroy entirely. But
tiiese two blessings fail in being
tile greatest we have, though they
are tull v appreciated. The one to
-
which , would allude is the walking
about in our midst of three Godl>
men pastors of the three churches.
They love one another; work, pray
sing together and as one, strive
j f " r tlle & ood of their fl °cks and the
Pc°P le in general Their daily
^ dv ’ n o and their faithful work is
greatest blessing that Coving
ton has; and ^ thc-ir handsare held
a P the prayers and support of
people. \\ hat greater blessing
tnav come to us through their in
strumentality, none can tell.
Let us all fully appreciate this
j 8 rea t gift the Lord has sent us and
not permit these Pastors to slip
Horn us through our indifference
or lack of appreciative words and
help. Let us be united as one
grand “Aaron and Hur” Society
holding up the hands of these men
°f God by our prayers and our
help. W. X
