ANTI-SALOON REVIVAL.
Rev. Wheeler's Address Mt Mt. Vernon
Place Church.


At the second of the series of anti-saloon
revival meetings last night at Mt Vernon
NJ. E. Church South large audience
again greeted the Rev. A. J. Wheeler, who
continued his course of addresses on anti
saloon work by discussing THE Relation
of the Church to the Anti-Saloon League"
He opposed the idea that the church should
not take part in work of this kind and en-
phaticaIly declared that the church is not
to be considered simply an advertising
agency for heaven, but that it's mission is
also to purify the present world and help
to make it a fit place in which to live. The
pulpit, said the speaker, is blamed all too
largely for the apparent Indifference with
which the church views the evils of in
temperance, but he maintained that the
blame should rest most heavily upon
the pew, for the pew of the present day
In most cases regulates the pulpit. This
fact he said, is to be deprecated, but he
noted a growing independence on the part
of the ministry, which he thought was
encouraging. He said that it was not the
place of the church, as a church, to fight
directly against the saloon, for the church
organization was not formed for that pur-
pose, but by affiliating with temperance
bodies and forming, by representation, such
organization as the Anti-Saloon League,
the express purpose and sole object of
which is the abolition of the drink traffic,
they may indirectly, yet powerfully, infiu-
ence public sentiment.
The Beveridges entertained the audience
with temperance songs before and after the
address. Mr.. Beveridge, in addition to his
power as a singer, is also a speaker, and he
gives a short explanation of what particu-
lar phase of the temperance question the
piece to be sung is designed to illustrate.
Among the songs last evening were Want
ed a Boy" Wanted, Man. and The
Dramshop in the Kings Highway"
The exercises closed with a prayer by
the Rev. ]. Fred. Heisse, pastor of Wesley
at 73O o'clock. DIR. Wheelers subject to-
