Christian citizenship.


His argument was founded upon the
Bible text RENDER unto Caesar the
things that are Caesars, and unto God
the thing, that are Gods;' and his argu-
ment was that man could not be
good christian without being a good
citizen; and that to give passive consent
10 bad laws or wicked traffic, was short
of the mark of good citizenship. He
said that IN this day and generation,
people had ceased to deny that the
liquor traffic was curse to the country.
Its baneiul influence was felt by church,
society and state. mckinley" he said,
may be President. but Alcohol is
KING" And tyrant King, at that
lie eXacted more tribute money than
any tyrant in al the ages had ever
wrung from bis subjects He called
upon them, every year, for one billion, two
hundred million of dollars; more money
than was spent for bread and meat and
clothes and church. combined and moth
ing was exempt from this tax; not even
the food and clothing for the cold and
pinched and starving family at home.
This King Alcohol was not only a
tyrant in the matter Of tribute money,
but he was mercIess in the service he
required from his subjects He took
the husband and father away from his
family and home, and confined him in
the Jail, or sent him to the penitentiary,
or swung him I. ON the gaIlows. With
flendish delight and for every day sport,
he broke the bones Of men and the
hearts of women Every year he sent
to dishonored graves an hundred thou
sand men, and conscripted from Ameri-
can homes that many boys, to fill their
places.
This ought not to he so, Mr. Bundick
said and would not be, if so called
good men" would band together To
overthrow this tyrant King. The
whiskey traffic was not perpetuated by
its professed friends, but by the lack of
moral courage of its alleged enemies.
| The good men," who for business"
or policy sake, withhold their influence
| from efforts made to weaken, restrain or
overthrow this heart breaking, home
destroying, soul-killing traffic, are in
effect its best friends. and are to day by
their silence and timid acquescence,
doing more to retard the growth of the
church and keep Kin. A lcoho upon his
throne, than are the whiskey sellers and
whiskey drinkers themselves. 1t was
poor religion and bad morals for man
to sacrifice his principles for policy
sake, and whenever man refused to
defend his principles, he denied them.
