Rev. Mr.. Morrill,, continuing, said, "No
institution can do 80 much good Tor the
state as the church. There is no greater
barrier to the work of the church than
the saloon. Far more young men go into
the saloons Of a Saturday night to worship
at the feet of King Bacchus than come
into the churches Of Sunday to kneei
at the feet OF King Jesus. Yet ministers
at their meetings read scholarly papers
on how to teach the young men OF the
masses. 1 would tell them TO clean out
the saloons and leave room for the young
men to get to church.

arouse ourselves and attack this demon
in every place.
Our church is depleted, our ministers
poorly paid our Sunday schools sparseiy

has come for US to deal courageously with
this question.
What is a courageous dealing with this
question? Is IL TO license it? Is your boy
able to Withstand the temptation to
drink? Let him once taste OF that cup,
your instruction is nothing; that appetite
is stronger than any human ties can ever
be. When the saloon Is open the boy
is in dancer; so when you go TO the
polls on Wednesday next let that "No"

Let's say when we throw our vote that it
is registered against this traffic that causes

let us say that any political party that
will not strike right at the root OF this
evil cannot have any OF our support.

CHRIST OR CAMP
Forcible Address OF Rev. Mr.. Morrill, at
Asbury Memorial Church.

At the Asbury Memorial M. Il. Church
last night powerful plea in favor of no.
license was made by Rev. Mr.. Morrill, of
Baltimore, Md. He was introduced by
the pastor, Rev. j. A. Rich, who also
spoke briefly on the subject.
An abstract OF Rev. MIR. Morrill's ad-
dress is here given: "We can do nothing
better in considering any public duty
than TO consider what the word of God
has to say on the matter. We read in tho
9th verse, 10th chapter of st. Luke:
Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.
Life has ever been a struggle and the two
spirits that have ever striven for mastery
in this world have been the spirits OF
Cain and of Christ.
sat the portals of history stands Cain
asking Am | my brothers. Keeper the
spirit OF selfshness ana OF aggrandize-
ment and has always striven for mastery.
Jesus Christ stands at the portals OF an
other ministra,ion. The spirit OF Jesus
Christ and of Cain permeate all depart
ments of life and the strife between them
is the very basis of the struggle now GO
ing on between what Is for the better
ment Of the nation and the legalized
liquor traffic.
Ii was the spirit of Cain that sold Jesus
Christ Tor 30 pieces of silver, that actu-

OF Jesus Christ stands for all that IN
brightest in the history of the world; II
made possible the Magma Charta, Wurten-
berg, the Declaration OF Independence
and the Constitution Of the United states.
II surrounds and inspires the institutions
that are striving TO lift this nation TO a
higher life; what the burning stinging
and blistering shame Of the legalized
liquor traffic Is tearing down.
On the side of Christ are the American
home, school ana products OF our law ana
ot the Christian pulpits OF our land.
These are all powerful institutions for

lament Teaching.
A brief abstract Of what Rev. James K.
Ever said last evening at the Union Bap-
tist Church Is as follows:
"Thou shalt not follow multitude to
do evil" The subject OF good citizenship
is at tho front. Rad men in politics are
an evil and not blessing. Good citizen
ship labors for improvement in city,
state and nation. Good citizenship does
NOT stay at home. The man ho desires
should vote what he thinks and think
what Is right / am for no-license for
the following reason:
1. No-license is in harmony with the
principles and purpose OF the Ten Com
mandments. God undertook to build a
society, a nation, kingdom. The
foundations of that kingdom were the
prohibition and foreign and opposed to
the idea of license. We shall never build
wisely or safely on any other foundation.
2 am for no-license because 1t is ac-
cording to the teachings OF the New
Testament. Christ was not liconse man.
He came to fulfill the law. He said: eli
your right eye offend you, pluck 1t out
what did the great apostle sayf SHAVE
no fellowship with the unfruitful works
of darkness, but rather reprove them.
1t is shame to speak OF the things done
by them in secret Come out from
among them and be We separate, and
touch not the unclean thing"
3. Another reason why l stand for no.
license Is because that idea Is vitality con-
nected with the prosperity of the COM
munity. License demoralizes. Prohibi-
tion tones up. We ought to protect the
young, shield the innocent. Communities
that have banlshed the saloon are gen.
orally prosperous. License and licentious-
ness GO hand In hand.
Great burdens have been rolled on the
taxpayers of this city by the liquor traffic.
Pauperism and crime have increased
alarmingly during the last five years be-
cause of the saloon. Your jails and pris-
ons are full OF Its victims. We are fast
going from bad to worse, because we al.
low 1t to stay. How long will good men
and patriots allow this to go ont Let all
who wish to see the nuisance abated vote

written, belong to us. The history OF all
men in all ages IN all lands is for us.
Into the lap OF the rising generation his
tory pours the priceless riches of the GEN.
turtles. The youth OF today extends his
magic wand over the structure OF the past
and it glows with thousand noblest
lines, a thousand holiest thoughts, a
thousand bravest deeds, thousand, yes
ten thousand lessons to teach him to be
brave and true.
Again, our youth OF today Is favored In
the fatherand, land of the brave and
true, land OF freedom, opportunity, a
land where is to sound the roll call OF the
nations in "the parliament of man, the
federation of the worlds.'
And now / ask you IL our God shall
allow the scythe OF time to cut the fairest
generation of men, in the brightest age,
in the bravest country OF the world, from
the face OF the earth, giving 1t no noble
mission, inspiring 1t with no heroic pur-
pose? Nay, this is impossible. This can
not be. He will present to us some match
less opportunity, he will impose upon us
some tremendous task.
Our grandsires had mission. They
fulfilled it. Tbey founded a republic.
They created a free nation. Our fathers
had q mission. They accomplished 1t.
They preserved union. They uprooted
an ignoble institution. They are among
the immortals. Shall we die "unhonored
and unsung"? God forbid. The mission
of Young America is the humiliation of
the saloon. Our enemy Is before us, our
task enjoiBed. Our magnificent -opper
tunity is here. To the work Abolish
the breeder Of iniquity, this mother of
crime, this corruption Of truth, this curse
OF the world.
The battle is on. The order of advance
has been given. There have been Sec
tional fights, but no general engagement.
Now the captain Of our salvation sends
the order all along the line. Our ulti-
mate aim is the national prohibition OF
the importation. manufacture and sale of
intoxicants. Our immediate work Is TO
outlaw the saloon in this city. We have
begun a crusade against the saloon here.

MR.. LARRY'S ILLUSTRATIONS.
He Used the Stereoptican In His No
License Sermon.

At the Free Evangelical Church last
evening Rev. j. II. Larry gave stere-
optican lecture on the "Heroes and Prin-
ciplss Of No-License." The preacher
said that there were two kinds OF drink
natural and unnatural. The hrst comes
from the. rivers, lakes, seas and brooks.
The vapors from these rose to the hill
tops and were. filtered for man. The un-
natural dripk:.came from a sheaf OF grain
and had the grain been put to its intend
ed use there would be more happiness
and less crime. In referring to license
Mr. Larry said that those We're bad
stnce, a dog may be bad and kill sheep.
He may be licensed, for the dog is good
ANIMAL The rum traffic is a snake, ana
snake is bad, and there is but one way TO
deal with snake aud that.is to throttle
1t. 2.
Among the pictures shown was one of
Neil Dow, who, the preacher said. was
at one time member OF fire company.
And Mr.. Dow was the only strictly tenn
perate man In the company, and all were
dead but ne. He Is now between 80 and
100 years old, strong advocate of tenn
perance. Another picture was in the ma
tion Of cartoon, and was that OF Moses
ments, but he Is met by politician who
tells Moses that the public is not ready
for no-license Just yet. Then came q
| financial politician, who represented
money pouring from q bottle into the
State House, but MIR. Larry said that it
| cost more to run the State under license
| system than 1t did under no-license, for
| said he, during the no-license times the
| State was obliged to hire help to run the
! State farm, and now they have got more
| than they can care for, and there Is cry
for more jail room.
Then there was q picture of the famous
| Talmage, who, according to Mr.. Larry,
| did not amount to much until he
preached his great sermon, the "Red
| Dragon" Then the papers began to criti-
cize him and, continued Mr.. Larry,
| the papers are influenced by the
liquor traffic. Mr.. Larry said
that the liquor traffic controlled
the State, and that the liquor traffic was
bigger than the United States. One Of
the last pictures was that OF group Of
% chubby, smiling babies, and Mr.. Larry
asked the voters in the church TO look
upon the picture. and then to remember
| that on Wednesday to vote for the inter-
| ests of the little ones, and that they
| could do by voting for no.license. During
| his remarks Mr.. Larry said that the lead
| ing reformers In the temperance move
| ment had made great mistake on the
start by not keeping labor limited with
| temperance, for had they, said he, we
! would have swept the world. There
were among the views the faces Of all
| the leading men of the past and present
| day who were or are identified with the
| movement OF temperance.

MISSION OF YOUNG AMERICA.
II Is to Work for the Nations Moral
DEVELOPMENT.

An address on no-license was preached
at the Trinity Methodist Episcopal
Church last evening by Rev. J. NJ. Taber.
In brief he said:
I wish TO speak, not as a politician, but
as patriot; not as partizan, but as q
citizen.
No generation Of mankind has ever
lived so favored as ourselves. Upon none
other could so many benedictions fail,
toward none could 90 many beatitudes
be so fittingly spoken:
We are heirs of ell the past. The wealth
OF thought, affection, its deeds OF hero
ism, its achievements. physical, moral,
intellectual, spiritual; it's genuine acts,
its discoveries In science, its revolutions
OF truth, all these and more than these,
are ours. The present Is the burning
center In which every ray OF light that
the advance Of civilization in the
word Is localized. Marathon and
salanius are ours Cincinnstus and
Coinelia, and many more belong to
us, as well ne to Rome OF long ago.
Every noble man and deed, every pure
thought EXPRESSED. every eternal poem
