other position before the whisky power
than that of uncompromSing condcm-
nation. He would say it was evil and
only evil aud therefore to he opposed !
10y every legal and moral restriction
that society could rear against it. In
his name speaking as believe he
would speak if he were here this mo-
mcnt, | SulCmnly declare the necessity
on the part of every disciple of Christ in
every church in Milton of placing him
self decidedly aId prrSistcntly and at
once in open battle against the saloon
until it is destroyed, until its power in
business nni.tic. and sn,.iotv is , thino
nr tln n,.t until ,.c l,,,n riI oitrsnlvns
nf thc foul vinnr which hos so many
years trailcd its Shiny folds through
our homes and our schools.
