THE ANTI-sALooN LEAGUE.
The First of u Series of Meetings in
Mount Nerunn VI 10. Church


Mount Vernon NJ. 10. Church
The first of a series of revival meetings
which will be held each evening during
the week, under the auspices of the Anti
Saloon League OF the District Of Columbia
and its affiliated societies, took place last
night at Mount Vernon NJ. E. Church
South. The church was crowded to its ut
most capacity, evidencing the fact that the
league has not relaxed its efforts to ac-
compIish its prime object, the Punishment
of all saloons from the District of Column
bia. Above the rostrum and stretching
from one side of the auditorium to the
other hung the motto of the league, THE
Saloon Must Co. and on either side just
in front waved the banners of the WOman's
Christian Temperance Union and the Order
of Good Templars. From the gallery rail-
ing hung Old Glory in profusion.
An interesting and pleasant feature Of
/ the evening was the singing of Mr.. and
! Mrs. c. c. Beveridge, Of Nebraska. Two
/ numbers rendered by them were especially
well received. One was entitled In Lii
/ censed Saloon, which was an answer to
! the question of many broken-hearted
mother. Where Is My Wandering Boy To-
( night ?" Another was THE Army Can
/ teen" which was a song criticism of the
/ Government for permitting the use of the
Fcanteen in the army.
! The meeting was conducted by Capt.
/ James l. Ewin. President of the league,
and was opened with prayer by the Rev.
! w. d. Power, of the Vermont Avenue
! Christian Church. After hearing the re-
port of the secretary and treasurer Presi-
! dent Ewin introduced the Rev. a. J..
/ Wheeler, of Maine as the speaker of the
evening.
/ 1t requires no argument, the speaker
said. to prove that the saloon is an evil.
1 The question FOR us to consider, then. is
/ how to combat and eventually kill it be-
! fore it destroys US. Intemperance, he said,
/ is a disease, a contagious disease, and the
! best remedy for it is education isolation,
and fumigation. The people of this coun-
/ try, DR.. Wheeler said, are generally well
educated, but what they need is a higher
education along moral lines After the
! people have been educated to know and
value the higher ideals of manhood, then,
! he said, they will be ready for the isola-
/ tion of the saloon. Isolation, he main
/ tanned, means restriction, contraction,
and finally prohibition.
| The elimination of the saloon DR..
| Wheeler said, viii be accomplished through
the amalgamation of the forces which are
opposed to the drink evil the churches,
/ Christian Endeavor Societies Epworth
League, Young Peoples Unions, and all
! temperance organizations.
The meeting this evening will begin at 8
o'clock.

directly upon the stomach, the organs of

many forms of disease is the best proof that
