Christian citizenship? Docs IL mean stronger
and healthier body, and clearer and more dis.
eliminating mind? No, thousand times, no!
Why then this cry for more liberty? What
does it mean? lt means liberty TO change God :
holy day into day OF rcvclry. IT means liberty
either to violate righteous laws. or erase them
from the statute book. 1t means liberty TO en-
ter the home and rob it Of every earthly COM
fort; liberty to SOW seeds Of misery from which
myriads must reap harvest of despair; liberty
TO dcfile the bodies and to destroy the souls OF
Their victims; liberty to deprive our SONS OF their
reason and our daughters of their modesty; lib
crr to fill our gaols with criminals, and our
ainshouscS with pdupcts; liberty 10 make devoted
wives worse than widows and loving children
worse than orphans liberty to kill thousands of
citizens every year and bury them in drunkar''a $
graves. Temporal! . mores. And is this the
liberty that host of our frllow-cit2c's crave?
And they are our fellow citizens. And they are
courtcd and fattcrcd and pettcd and coddled by
politicians. because OF their influence and their
power at the polls. 'Ts true It's pity, and pity
lis It's true.
There is no wisdom in conccaing the fact that
our American Sunday has host OF foes who are
bitter, Jealous and relentless; and it bchooves
all true patriots and all true Christians to be
their guard and courageously to meet their
attacks.
ALL ARE INTERESTED.
