and also excited the wonderment Of q
largo concourse of people who heard

Probably a thousand people we're
seated in the large assembly hall when
the Silver Lake Quartette began sing

George r. Bristor, Of New York,
preached a fine sermon from John l4th:

Rev. Ward h. Pickard, pastor of a
Methodist Episcopal church in Buffalo,
N. Y, delivered sermon Sunday after
noon on "Sinai and the Saloons or the
ReIatlon OF the Liquor Traffic to the
Law Of God" He said the ten COM
mandmenta were made to keep. Christ
did not come to save man the trouble Of
]obOdience, but to make 1t possible for
them TO obey. The moral law, trans.
figured by Christ in the gospel, was still
biuding. BY it all character must be
indged. The secret notions, tho outer
deeds, must all be measured by this
standard. Nations, political parties,
political platforms, ballots and BUSH
ness must all stand or fall before II.
Whatever antagonized 1t was wrong, no
matter how popular or prevalent.
lie then treated each commandment,
showing that the liquor traffic aud the
license sytem were in open violation OF
every command. They are lNwless,
hence Goddess. The saloon breeds an
urrhy and interferes with the right
worship Of God. Drunken men and
women are usually profane. Tho sp-
looni tho sworn enemy OF the Ametl-
can sunday. It's Liberty Leagues"
ayow that us their object. God said,
"Honor thy father and thy mother"
lie put tho mother in with co-equal
authority. He did not count n mother
rs n sort Of necessary evil in a young
mans life. But the saloon debased the
father and mother and led the children
to break the commands.
The speaker then traced the relation
OF drink to death, showing how by sui
eide, accident and murder, hundreds Of
thousands OF lives were sacrificed. He
spoke Of purity and called attention to
the lewd songs, nude pictures, foul sto.
RIGS, dens OF prostitution and other
similar evils with which drink is asso-
Ciatcd.
Stealing and lying ere shown to be
invariably associated. Men who drink
will steal shoes from q dead baby il
they can get alcohol in no other way.
]CoyOtiOusness was shown to be the
spirit OF it all.
In applying, he said that II the So
loon breaks the ten commandments,
then to pass q license law was to be
equally guilty of breaking them. He
told Of the colored minister who said
TO the high license preachers, "You
may be D. DIS and Lids and Phi.
Dis, but you better look out OF you'll
got to Hades."
lie emphasized the thought that pub.
lie sentiment was not to take the place
Of the law, Tho world ia not up to the
standard Of prohibition given on Mt.
Sinai, but who proposed TO change ii
to suit u weak and wicked race? Let
us make right laws and enforce them.
He described the saloon keeper who
had an American eagle chained In front
Of his place Of business, and urged the
men to strike by their ballots a blow
that would make the noble bird free
again
Dr. /. Villars, of New York, preached
gospel temperance sermon at 1880 p.
m. from Genesis viii;19, and laid down
tho. proposition that the homo was
Gods basis OF church and state, and
held that anything that antagonlzed
the home WINS an enemy to God, church
and state; and argued that no enemy
stood out so conspiCuously against the
home rs the American dram shop.
Tho order was perfect on tho grounds,
There wero many now arrivals satur'
day, some ministers from tho east Ohio
conference, NJ. L. church, being among
them.
