otherwise to regulate the drink traffic, because
they provide for it's continuance and afford no
protection against its ravages. We hold that
the proper attitude of Christians toward this
traffic is one OF Incorporating opposition.

express the opinion that they should not
permit themselves to be controlled by party
organizations that are managed in the inter-

of such laws as do not legaliZe or indorse the
manufacture and sale of intoxicants 70 be used

complete legal prohibition OF the traffic in in
toxicating drinks as the duty OF civil govern
ments.
