A TEMPERANCE LECTURE.
The auditorium of the M. e. taber-
nacle was filled with representative
audience this evening to listen to a
lecture by the well-known temperance
orator, John G. Woolley, The pastors of
the various churches occupied seats on
the platform, together with Mrs. Hes
tire Griffith, president of the w. G. L.
u, and J. M. Glass, local temperance
lecturer and worker.
James G. Clark favored the audience
with vocal solo, and after prayer by
Rev. Mr. Bresee of Los Angeles, Mr..
Glass introduced the speaker. A brief
synopsis gives no adequate conception
of the lecture. Mr.. Woolley is strong
speaker, eloquent and at the same time
witty and humorous, and his whole dis
course is characterized by the greatest
earnestnes.
Mr.Woolley began in very quiet tone,
'The liquor traffic ought to die. This is
the sentiment of the Christian people of
the country. But it does not die. Why?
The church seems to lack power. What
did Jesus Christ say? 'Ye shall receive
power after that the Holy Spirit has
come upon you When you are ready to
receive truth above everything-above
creed, above doctrine and dogma, above
this belief or that-then may you ex-
pect power. This trying to train truth
and falsehood to pull together is where
the trouble lies. A good deal Of liquor
or license diluted with little prshibi-
tion, administered in homeopathic doses
once year, is poor medicine. This geo.
graphical Christianity which foregoes
wine at home, in Pasadena, for con-
science sake, and when at Sacramento
foregoes conscience for wine is like try
ing to ride two horses at once. Is it the
saloonkeeper that is wrecking this
country? don't think so.It's the church
members who walk straight 1854 days in
the year and on the S65th go to the bal
lot-box and teach their boys that it is
not necessary to act straight with
Jesus Christ at the election. Now if we
are to call ourselves Christians, let us
live up to it or get out; SO per cent Of
the vote at the last election was profess
edly Christian, and yet we see no abate-
ment of the liquor traffic. A mob of an
I'll cAiotS never ulOVe IOT d company OIL
militia, but let the regulars march up
and it promptly disperses. The Christ
ian church is like the militia company.
The saloonkeepers never fear them, for
they know they wont shoot. They roar
like lion at the conference meeting,
but at the polls they squeak like
mouse.
