J.L. Glib II suppose you will be great
ly surprised to hear from me in tins far
off land, but in reading the BANSeR |
found that the issue OF this ysars cam
paign was Prohibition also that you was
The leader of the cause. | thought first
to wife a letter OH the subject, and
then thought it was too much polltI g
and would say nothing, but saw ! the
last BANNER that Prohibition won the
Day, and could not refrain from writ =
ing you few lines congratulating you
on your SUCCESS, and letting you know
few Of my thoughts ON the matter
Being away from home and uninfluenc-
ed from either side, one is unable to
Judge and l have thought Of it many
times, and was very pleased when saw
that it was made an issue. We rs Lat
ter Day Saints know it iswrong 10 use
intoxicating liquors, and from exper-
ence We know it tn be curse to man =
kind, We preach to our SONS and TO all
other people, it is wrong to drink this
drug Nov how und ,r heaven can we
say it is right to sell the stuff, but it
hn. nd - \ Il,
wrong to hold the stuff before man
Nor is it lawful to sell it but unlawful
drink H. and then tne man IS. be-
cause he bought the stuff which the law
St Us il right to sell. Now / know tiat
Prohibition does not prohibit, but if 1
knew that by closing one saloon it
for Prohibition and show our young
men that we pratice what we teach
for they have a ri-ht to tell us al tel
being drunk that they have only done
what we by our votes have sanctioned
1t is the principle that look at, not
will i. keep men from drinking or SELL
ng it. Ii they go to dive to get the
stuff they know that they are breaking
the law, and any youag man who has
any feelings of honor will never enter
there. This will teach our children
from their youth up that it is wrong,
that they break the law OF Goo and the
law of the city Now dear brother do
not know il these words will really con-
fer my feelings and thoughts TO you, vs.
L am such a poor hand IN trying TO pu
my thoughts on paper. ym feeling
fine in every respect, and have good
success i'll preaching the iospe. The
Lord has blessed me in abundance
When first came here it was with
the greatest exertion to speak for five
minutes, now can speak somlny hours
People cannot believe that am not an
educated man, for they say they have
never heard a Pastor who could speak
me. How can they preach something
they know til n about? bit know il
is the power OF God that has done it
and | can never thank him enough for
lis grand privilege OF preaching His
Gospel, for it is one of the greatest
blessings God has eyer bestowed " n
me have just been called as presid-
ent OF the Dresden Conference SO l will
have more To do than heretofore The
Lord has helped me perform my duty,
and so far as know He will do it again |
i'll continue humble and try to do my
duty. thank you dear brother for the |
kindness of you and the members O.
the choir. May God ever hess you for
it. Keep up the go,d fight for principle I
and never g We up. believe ii the
saloons have to close the vicious elem INT
of our city will leave and what bless
ing it would lie. With the kindest re-
CARDS to yon and all friends | am your
brother in Christ.
