ANSWER TO Ma, AORNsR.


derstands it, the aim of q prohibi-
zionist is to appoint himself as censor
and Judge over his neighbor 5 acts,
also to take by force the rights and
liberties of said neighbor, ordained
and given by God to each individual
man, to eat and drink as best suits
him.
Prohibition not only creates a nest
of sneaks, hypocrites and perjurers,
but causes an increase of drink,
crime and pauperism. 1t also causes
ruinous high rates of taxation, com
mercial depression, bankruptcy, star
walton and ruin. With the above
facts before the prohibition maniac,
he will still roll his eyes towards
heaven with CHASTITY grin upon his
countenance, and hail prohibition as
q blessing. The ways of the trans
crossing prohibitionists are queer,
and doth corrupt the innocent and
unwary. Mr.. Horner after wallow-
ing through long stretch of whim-
pering twaddle (the usual "fruits'
of the sensational prohihitionisD, at
last arrives at the following: "Such
are the fruits of moderate drinking,
drunkenness and licensed rum selling.
They are anti-Christian and anti-pro-
hibiton," etc. They may be anti
prohibition fruits, but if Mr.. Horner
means to infer that moderate drink
ing is anti-Christian, he speaks that
which is false, and contrary to the
teaching of the Saviour. Mr.. Hor-
ner lays great stress, and tries to
make capital out of the feast of
Cana, by saying: "'The wine made
at the feast of Cana Oh if rum
sellers can find peg there to hang a
comforter on, they are welcome to
it. That wine we remember was
made altogether of water. They
filled the water pots with water to the
brim. There was no alcohol in it,
no room for ALCOHOL" etc. S. S. had
no intention of using the feast of
Cana as peg to hang comforter
on" There are various other "pegs"
for comforter" that are too
numerous 10 mention; that S. S. will
use as occasion requires. But as
Mr.. Horner has brought forth the
feast of Cana, | will try and answer
him.
Dare you, Mr.. Horner, assert that
God could not make whisky, brandy,
gin or wine out of that water if he
had so willed2 You might as well
say at once, that Christ periured
himself, when he made the trustful
people of Cana believe, that they
were drinking wine, when, as you
say, it was water. Take that back,
Mr.. Horner, it smells too strongly of
sacrilege.
"And the third day there was
marriage in Cana of Galilee, and the
mother of Jesus was there. And
both Jesus was called, and his dis
ciples, to the marriage. And when
they wanted wine (oinon), the
mother of Jesus saith INTO him, they
have no wine (oinon). Jesus saith
unto her, woman, what have | to do
