TEMPERANCE AT RED ROCK.
Rev. DR.. A. 3. Leorard's Views on
the Dow Law in Ohio.
Services of a Temperance Nature in
the Pavilion.

Rev. DR.. A. B. Leonard of Ohio arrived
on the grounds yesterday morning. DR..
Leonard says the prohibition movement in
ONO is progressing satisfactorily. He
tnihks the elections this fall will show q de-
clded increase in the strength of the move
ment. There is great demand, he says, for
proalbltion speakers. The people want
prohibition; no high license or anything
else but straight gospel The Dow law is
simply modification of the Scott law, and
IS not satisfactory. In fact the Dow law was
only introduced for revenue purposes. DR..
Leonard will speak at several points in the
state, including st. Paul, where he will adj
dress tile Prohibition state convention

Miss Grace strong of Atwater, Mimi,
author of the celebrated temperance story,
Inc Worst Foe, is among the visitors on
the camp ground. Among the improve
ments contemplated for next year are 500
trees, cottages for the evangelsts, several
new prayer tents, etc. Several of the city
churches will also probably build parson-
ages for their pastors. Besides Minnesota.
there are represented here Iowa, Wiscon-
Sin, Dakota Illinois and Montana. Rev. j.
Gill of Boston arrived on the grounds yes
terday. Mr.. Gill is connected with the
holiness movement.
The morning sermon was by Rev. D. Me-
Kenty of Red Wing. Mr.. McKenty took

consecrated, faithful preacher will make it
easy for anyone to follow him. About
seven hundred and fifty books were written
against John Wesley, all productive that his
work would die with him. Neither books
nor newspapers can write man up or
down. Promotion comes from God, and
this is especially true of the prophets of
God. God is always where He is most
needed. Men are generally with us when
we need them least. Give help where it
is needed the most. and do not like the
world and the devil, give it where it is
needed the least. We do not need God
most at camp-meeting for it is easy to be
good there. Elisha asked for double
portion of Gods spirit and so when he came
to the Jordan he was enabled to pass
through. So when we ask Where is the
Lord God of Elijah at the Jordan of some
trial, or temptation he will answer in
person. You will need the Lord God the
most after you get away from camp meet
ing into the kitchen or store or workshop.
On account of a sore throat the speakers
voice failed after speaking half an hour,
and he was obliged to bring his remarks to
a close.
IN THE AFTERNOON.
Rev. Noah LathSop of DundaS preached
il1f ln INr1lo
a discussion of the tobacco question.
AT. 4:3O Rev. DR.. A. B. Leonard of Ohio,
lectured on Prohibition"
The liquor traffi C. he said, is universally
acknowledged to be the greatest evil of the
times. If it had suddenly appeared it would
have startled the nation. But the traffic has
grown upon us gradually, and now we stand
N the face of it almost unappalled.
The traffic is a political evil and moral evil.
1t is political because we must settle it at the
polls and in our legislative halls. We can
not settle it by moral suasion. When we
stand at the ballot box we exercise the pre-
negatives of sovereign. Our ballots should
represent the principles we hold most i'm
portant. live expect to destroy the liquor
traffic we must elect men to office who are
personally opposed to it, The liquor dealers
are as a rule men without principle. The
government regards them as thieves. 1t puts
men into distilleries to watch the MANU-
IdCluIC. anu tue Wv E0E CttI1iOU get enough
whisky to get drunk on until the officer gets
80 cents on a gallon. The saloons are the
headquarters of the ward politicians, who
practically run the politics of
all our great towns and cities.
Men will do things in politics they will
not do elsewhere. We claim that two-thirds
of ali NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. will be settled in the
liquor question. The Prohibitionists have not
been practical enough. We make speeches
and pray. and sing, and then on election day
we come down and vote
THE WHISKY TICKET.
You cannot carry politics in one pocket and
religion in another. The men who try that
usually have the religion pocket empty. If
the Christian ministry will unite on this ques-
ton, every saloon in the United States will be
closed in ten years. / demur against the
charge of putting the question into politics.
Circumstances necessitated the birth of the
rohibition party. Either we must not vote
at all or vote in the parties for whisky men
Or organize Prohibition party. The most
stupenduous humbug in the country is the
idea of regulation. Free whisky, high or low
license it is the same devil let loose.
The evening sermon was by Rev. B. F.
Kephart of Minneapolis.
