to Pittsburg paper last Tuesday The
Republican and Democratic members of
the NJ. Il. Church of this place, are indig-
nant at the action of the Prohibition fac
ton of the church in distributing campaign
literature in the church on Sunday. After
the morning service boy was stationed
at the foot of each stair and political cir
cular was handed to each member as he

the church and the Rev. Mr.. Bell, the
pastor, are members of the Lords Day
Union, their action in advancing political
ends on the Lords day and in the church
can only be accounted for on the ground
that they are PIohibitionists, and that. the
end justifies the MEANS" even if it does
conflict with their ideas of Sabbath obser-
vance, on other matters. The Prohibition
lists were preparing to make fight at the
polls on Tuesday and in their zeal evident
ly forgot that politics and religion do not
go hand in hand. Some of the members
of the church say they are going to see il
it is to be run as political machine, and
if it is, they will make themselves con.
spicious by their absence.
