The following remarks were made by
Rev. j. F. Carson, pastor of the Reformed
Presbyterian church of Brooklyn on
the evening Of Iuly Goth, at a meet
ing at which Mrs. Mary y. Woodbridge,
of OHIO. Secretary OF the National W. c.
T. {. was announced to speak;
THE Reformed Presbyterian Church alb
s|olutely refuses TO admit drinkers to its
membership. 1t will not tolerate among
its members the manufacture or seller of
intoxicants. 1t absolutely prohibits its
communicates from rcHting or using in
any way their property for saloon puf-
poses. At a meeting of its last General
Assembly it pledged itself to do all in its
power to secure legal and Constitutional
Prohibition OF the liquor traffic. While
other organizations are pushing the cause
Of temperance and Prohibition the church
should not be behind them. 1t should
stand in the forefront of the battle. 1t
should be ready at all times to educate the
people. and to keep before them all ques-
tons of public concern 1t should be a
leader. The day for halfway measures and
compromises ON the temperance question
is passed. Advocates of High License
are far behind the times, License, both
high and low, must 20. d not believe
in the monopoly which High License gives.
l do not believe in the 'gilded saloon
With Ilr. IIerriek johnson | say Low
License may ruin N sons, but High Lii
censc dcbaucheS both sons and daughters.
There is no solution for this question short
of absolute Prohibition. Applause.
Arm yourselves, therefore, and by the
power of the ballot aid i'll bringing about
this solution. The Prohibition movement
is gaining ground in every part Of the
country. The eyes Of the people are be
ing opened. With 4 st. John in Kansas, a
Neal Dow in Maine and a Clinton b. Fisk
in New Jersey, it is no wonder thai liquor
politicians are becoming alarmed \
Young Mems Prohibition Climb with a phe-
nomenal growth is waking np in Brooklyn,
and gathering into its ranks such men as
J<NlN anu IotttAiN4 anu WV / 1 tLtANtf0A
APPLAUSE All aver the country proni-
nent men are breaking their party ranks and
coming to Us. \ little giant has come
ont from the Republican party in Penn
~sylyania, whose advent is making the odi-
tor of the Y. J. 7ribHHs weep Tor the pros
poets OF his party in that State. His name
is Wolfe, and a Wolfe indeed will he prove
himself 10 the old parties of Pennsylvania.
Men who oppose this Prohibition move
ment do not know what they Ar lighting.
They do not understand the power and
might there is behind it. They do not re-
alizc, when they raise their hands against
it, that they strike against the sacred homes
OF the land, against the sanctiiied mothers,
against the little children, and against the
moral power and force of the hes, men OF
the nation" Applause
