Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1898-03-31

Well why must be speak the TRUTH
AS far as we know we have insulted no
one, nor made a single enemy: all
know that we write for their personal,
temporal and spiritual benefit, with the
pen of devoted friend. What we said
we maintain; and all know we are right.
A Sunday Regulation will be Eagle
Rivers religious triumph. Then, only
then, not until then will God bless us,
grant prosperity to our city.
We do not demand Sunday obser-
vance as a favor, but as duty. God,
in our midst, should not be rejected,
nor His Laws neglected. He is our
Father, we are His children, we are
christians.
We mean, as Paul says to Timothy, to
"war good warfare, 5" and to save our
friends from perishing in the shipwreck
of their faith and morals. Let the
night of neglect be past, and the day of
duty dawn. Let us cast off the works
of darkness, and put on the armor Of
light. from KILL
We feel we are not like the Baptist
"the voice Of one crying in the wilder
ness" Our Eagle River friends are
"ready to make straight the way of the
Lord" John L. Let us allow Christ
to ''cleanse to Himself an acceptable
people, pursuer of good works. -
Titus II;l let the brightness of God
shine around us.
Jerusalem, Jerusalem" Eagle River
Eagle River, ''how often would l have
gathered together thy children, as the
hen doth gather her chickens under her
wings, and thou wouldst not" Matt.
XXIII.) Eagle River will. We con-
elude on the Sabbath question. We
have appealed to christian city, to
gentle faithful people: and our efforts
will be crowned.
We end this article ''Rome and the
saloons, in few words that fully ex-
pound the Doctrine of the Church in
this respect. In lecture recently de-
livored by Father Sheedy on THE
Catholic Church and the Liquor Traf-
fic, said that the Catholic Church con-
trary to what many suppose, had put
it's seal of disapproval on the liquor
traffic that the second and third Plen-
airy Councils of Baltimore, called upon
Catholic pastors to frequently warn
their fiocks to shun drink houses and to
repel from the sacraments liquor dea-
lers who encourage the abuses of drink
especially on Sundays. Let Catholics
keep their saloons closed on the Lords
Day, for if through their action, reli-
gion is dishonored, let them remember
that terrible retribution will be de-
manded of them by the Avenger of
Heaven.
Against the Sunday opening Of saloons
we should stand firm. Give to every
Christian and workingman what he is
entitled to. the Lords Day, day Of
prayer and rest, day of JOY and glad
ness. Keep the churches open and the
doors ofthe saloons tightly shut. Then
you will help to kill intemperance, the
giant curse of the day, bring back, re-
vive, and strengthen the Christian
spirit among us, Eagle River has no
gambling tables, harbors no dark re-
sorts, holds no spider webs. possesses a
well disposed people with whom the
Lord will form model community, the
pride of the fast approaching twentieth
century. Such words and predictions,
assuredly offend no one, and ought to
stimulate US all to do our duty to God
at all times, but on His own Day, par
ticularly.
