To the Various Christian Bodies in

Dear Brethren in Christ-We are
confident in the belief that the con
sensus of opinion of the processing
Christians of our land is opposed to
the evils of the liquor traffic, and we
find a want of cooperation in prac-
teal effort to give effect to this op-
position, because none of the propo-
sitiOns heretofore has met the ap-
proval of the general judgment OF
Christian people. We recognize that
this is the case in our own body, and
we believe it is likewise true of 9th,
ers. As a result, the church eXerts
far less influence than it should tC
prevent the evils produced by this
great cause of poverty and crime, and
which is, also, most serious obstacle
to the spread of the Gospel.
eve are deeply impressed with the
conviction that an earnest effort
should oe made to ascertain in what
way Christians can exert an united
influence in this cause, and by what
means they may work together. Upon
what proposition can we obtain q
practical agreement? We frankly con
fess that we are not competent tc
solve the problem, but we believe that

exposition have been approved by the
executive committee. There will be
on the Iair grounds about 1,60O sculp-

''It will be the most magnificent

an has reference to the history and
evolution of the Louisiana Purchase
territory. 1t is, moreover, simple and
comprehensive to the average citizen.
The allegorical and esoteric will play
but limited role. Instead of fusing
on to the plastic element of sculpture
an excess OF the literary element, the
sculpture will be held to the plastic
as far as possible, he aesthetic being
primarily insisted upon, and the edu-
cational being suggestive rather than
insistent, and within the limits prop
er to true sculpture. The first inhab-
itants or owners of the land were the
NEUROLOGICAL nymphs, fauns, satyrs,
dryads which will be used in the focal
pieces around the big cascade. With
them will be used the winged horses,
and the sea-dragon which fable con-
meets with them. Next will come, as
the cascades are left behind, the In
dians, the second owners of the soil.
Keokuk, chief of the Sac and Fox
tribe, and Black Hawk, chief of the

animals, simultaneous owners with

with a willingness to approach the
subject with an open mind, the united
church may find way by which we
can serve the cause OF Christ
and the good of mankind in seeking
the ultimate elimination of this stu

held in the city of Washington, to be-

sense that this duty has been laid

proposed instrumentality for the oc-
