The obligations of Christian people
run out in many different directions.
In regard TO civil and political matters.
these obligations are actually incrcas-
ing i'm number. Civil and political AT
fairs are coming more and moro into
the domain of morals. and thus are
laying n heavier weight upon the Chris
tian conscience. There are questions
today coming directly under the pur-
view of morals which generation ago
were considered entirely on the out
side. As the scientists say, they have
emerged" upon the moral plane and
demand the attention of the Christian
citizen. These questions can not bc
ignored by the Christians of today nor
relocated again to the domain of poll
tics. They must he settled Ivy Chris

One of the most attractive features
about Sam Jones is his steady and per
sistent war on the whisky business
and all forms of organized and unor,
ganized vice and crime. Boldly and
fearlessly he announces that he is "a
Prohibitionist that he votes the Pro
hibition party ticket, and that he be-
lieves that is the only means of rid
ding our country of this most devas-
tating curse. Beyond a shadow of
doubt, he is doing the greatest work
along the lines of moral reform of any
American preacher. To say that Sam
Jones is a genius would not be an over
statement. He is one of the most re
markable men of our times, and, for
courage, straight forwardness, and
magnetism, he has no superior on the
American platform. Te,cd$ Baptist
