MR.. wooLLEY's LECTURE.

supporting nothing less than one OF the
numerous ''whiskey tickets"
SIR. Woolley said he had readily dis

But" said he, the chief william in
this muss is not the saloon keeper. It
is those in the churches. who vote to
their power who are to
blame. The saloon man. said he,
does not pretend to be anything but
a saloon man. whereas the Christian
workers in every community not only
pretend to do all within their power
10 oppose the saloon influence, but
pledge themselves to support every

In my mind. said Mr.. Woolley, "the |
