Creed and Patience.
" Prohibition Republican" Discoarseth
Further.
ED. FREEMAN:

ED. FREEMAN:
We loose our patience when we
see the conduct of some ministers
Of the Gospel on this Prohibition
question. An AUTHORIZATION
preacher is more to be feared than
politician who is opposed to the
Cause,
There are Democratic preachers
who feel that the success of the
Democratic party is of more value
to their Church than a genuine
revival of religion could possibly be.
On the other hand, there are
Republican preachers in West Vir-
ginia who believe the same thing,
if not little more so, and they
constantly bend their energies for
the promotion and success of the
Republican party.
Such men would vote with
saloonists and drunkards in order
to see the party triumph. In fact l
know men who stand high as
preachers, who not only are op-
posed to the "third party move
ment in our State, but are actually
opposed to Prohibition.
Prohibition is good for murder,
theft and adultery, but it won't do
at all for the liquor crime. Why 2
Because it defeat, my party, and
hence gives back-set to my ideas
of political church.
| Would that such an idea of
church polity was buried 80 deep
the judgment trump could not
find it. Political church ideas have
caused more bloodshed than any
drink excepted, 1t was once said
of treason that at begins with a
lie, lives on lies, and dies
with lie in its mouth"
Whisky is like Treason in this
respect. 1t says in the beginning
of the drunkard's career, "There is
no harm in taking dram of me"
and 80 the moderate dram-drinker
thinks. That's whisky's first lie.
Then it says "You can't prohibit
me. l must have my course, and
will have it in spite of all the
powers that be; and if you try to
prohibit me, 1 will crush your
churches and political parties and
take away your preachers
salaries" Lie No. two. And in the
final overthrow of the monster it
cries, "You have lost one of the
blessings of earth" So it dies with
lie in it's mouth.
But to think that the lying, skulk.
ing, scoundrel, should have minis
ters of the gospel to reiterate it's
infamous falsehood, "You can't
prohibit the sale Of liquor"
I loose my patience, and get
righteously cross when 1 hear men
talk that way.
