Brothers, we beg you look around and see
the painful effects of the liquor traffic
You who testify that the drinking bar is
needed for the public good, have Judge
who in His word says, ''Woe to him who
putteth the bottle to his neighbors lips;'
mo druukard shall enter the Kingdom Of
Heaven;'' ''Wine is mocker; strong
drink is raging" Are you ready to ac-
cept these sentences and to be responsible
Tor the woes and terrible effects of strong
drnk-the broken hearts and lost souls !?
We sincerely hope you may speedily realize
that you are participators in an evil which
the good and wise men everywhere
throughout our land are striving manfully
to overcome.
