sag nav. Report OF evening
Session.
Thursday evening was the banner
evening of the convention and the First
Congregational church was crowded by
delegates and citizens OF Saginaw, who
had come to near that matchless tenn.
perance orator, john G.. Wooley.
The evening SESSION opened with a
selection by the orchestra of the Sunday
school of the First Congre gational
church. followed by the singing of "Al
Hail the Power of Jesus Name by The
audience
The devotional services were con-
ductcd by Rev. Andrew b. Chalmers.
pastor Of the Congregational church,
and an anthem was rendered 10y the
choir of the jefferson avenue NJ. T..
.hurch.
4 recitation appropriate tor the occa-
sion was given by Mrs. Elenora Nj.
Hill and Bertram Schwahn sang in fine
voice ''Jcrusalem.'
Mrs. c. c. Faxon, vice president at
large, presided during the evening
In introducing Mr.. Wooley she said
nothing was needed IN the world today
more than courage, and introduced the
speaker of the evening a a man with
courage of his convictions and the
greatest leader in the reform movement
today.
As Mr.. Wooley stepped to the front
Of the platform, the large audience rose
and gave the Chautauqua salute.
Mr. Wooley at once announced his
subject as Christian Citizenship in
Relation to the Liquor Traffic"
The American people love liberty,
everywhere there are evidences of it.
The bronze buttons, the empty sleeve
are part of it. The appointment of
Fitlhugh Lee, of Fighting Joe Wheeler
and others are part of it, and the starry
lag is the rest of 1t. The people do
love liberty and they hate cruelty.
They will fight for the wrongs Of people
without their gates, ant the ink in
which the story shall be written is
bright, red blood; the punctuation
marks, shot and she'll the scroll, the
map of the world; and the scribe the
god of war.
We will not turn the bullets from
that butcher beyond the sea, but send
them TO Cuba, to the Philippines, to
Cadiz and even to Madrid if need be.
The Cuban reconcentradoes must be
freed, but the hearts and homes of our
own kith and kin must not and shsll
not be forgotten. The first fundamental
principles of the United States constitu-
ton declares that all men are created
free and equal with the right of pro-
lection TO life, liberty and the pursuit
of happiness. These are held to be the
inalienable rights. These are principles
OF Christian government or God
ward-ment.

The liquor traffic Is the most deadly
foe to equality and destroys all hope OF
peace and joy. Let American Labor
stand clear-eyed and strong-handed
and it went need the politician, whose
hand probably has seen no real work.
No protective tariff will ever equalize
American labor and protect it against
the saloon. 1t is not a Christian
government, 1t is time that the voters
make it che.
Abolish me saloon and the saloon
drug store, and then idleness and
vagrancy can with consistence be
treated as crimes.
The speaker in most forcible man
ner illustrated how the crimes OF the
saloon always destroy the happiness OF
the American people.
The lack of protection for mothers,
wives and children of the drunkards
was shown 10y powerful illustrations,
given probably as only Mr.. Wooley can
give them.
In spite of all of these opinions, Mr..
Wooley is by no means a pessimest, foI
he is so filed with past victories that he
has faith that even greater ones are
soon to be won.
Christian men must have the courage
to take their Christianity to the ballot
box with them. The son of God must
not be afraid to speak his Fathers will

the saloon, let them 90 home and give
their women the franchise. Go against
the enemy with the words and spirit Of
David, and you will be able to say that
there is God not over, but in, Mich
igan.
At the close of the lecture the
audience sang the doxology and the
benediction was pronounced by Rev.
NJ. G.. Hawks.
