THE State is beside the church in
importance and is as Divine as the
church. 1t is the purpose of both to
uplift man and promote his happiness

church. is no better than the average
character in it. The great danger
threatening the State is the fact that
people in the League ana church be-
lieVe that when they have performed
their religious duties they are done.
People whose purpose is greed and lust
handle the State affairs while the
church stands aside. The church
should make itself felt in the State af-
fairs. Church people keep out because
there are NJ dollars for them. Those
outside of the church handle the af-
fairs because there is money in il for
them. The saloon is buried in the com
mercial spirit of the day. The saloon
is tyrannical ana aggressive in making
way for itself. 1t touches legisla-
ton and is tirelcss in its efforts to sup
