MORAL REFORM TAKES WORK.
DR.. Lucas Lectures in the First
Presbyterian Church

AZ the moral reform mass meeting held
IN the First Presbyterian church last
night. DR.. Lucas talked ABOUT peonie who
OBJECT TO temperance reform because. ac-
coFdiug to their view. i, seems 10 h4e i'm
possible 70 accomplish anything. He re-
ferred 70 the story In the Bible about the
spies who had been sent 10 spy cat Caa-
nan and returned with the report that ts
was impossible 10 capture Caanan BE-
cause il was filled with giants and the
spies were grasshoppers In their sight
There are lots OF people said the lee
turer, who are just like those spies when
u comes 10 matters OF temperance gefef!n.
They are always ready to cry. You can't
do il: you can't do It They are modern
grasshoppers, and OF course, il they are
grasshoppers IN their own sight. they
must expect TO be regarded as grasshop-
pers by other people In contrast with
this he declared that when men had dared
TO obey God in the performance OF duty?
even in the face OF great danger and dit
nculty. they had sooner or later won the
victory. He applied this TO persons who
sympathize with moral reform, but Go
not take an active part for fear OF
failure.
Mr.. J. A. Forehand presided Rev. Mr..
Thompson read the Scripture lesson. and
Rev. J. y. Smith offered prayer. The mu-
sic was excellent, there being an anthem
by the choir of the church and solo by
Mrs. Edmunds.
