ing campaign OF education among
its members and the young people
it is training up in the way of the
Lord.
With respect to brethren who
have compromised themselves by
any sort of utilization with the sa-
loon, the discipline of the church
should be progressive in it's sever
ity. Infinite patience should be ex-
ercised toward those who are the
victims of false education, and
of the failure of the church to do
it's duty toward them in the past.
But. about the ideal of discipline,
to which the church is working,
there should be 70 mistake. Weak
and strong should be given to un-
derstand that complete and ever
lasting hostility to the saloon is the
settled policy of the church of God.
Much has be done already in the
carrying out of a consistent policy
of opposition to the saloon. In the
first place, the pulpit can be freed
from all completely with this evil
institution. The preacher who
apologies for the saloon in any
way should find no place in a
Christian pulpit. Then we may
rightly demand that elders, dea-
cons and Sunday school superin-
tendents shall keep away from the
saloon entirely, and shall be total
abstainers as we'll. A saioon-fre
quenting elder or church worker is
an abomination to the Lord, and
should be deposed at once by the
church. Ofcourse, no church that
makes any pretentions to spiritual
life or devotion to the law of Christ
will keep liquor vender in its
membership. The preacher who
All al minister regularly Tor a church
that keeps distillers. brewers and
saloon-keepers in its fellowship,
without rebuking both the unfaith-
full church and it's liquor-d dealing
adherents, is a hireling coward,
who should blush every time he
looks a true minister Of Christ in
the face.-Christia Standard

To Make Arrangements For
Session January II.
DINNER TO BE A FEATURE.

The Executive Committee of the
Kentucky Press Association met at
the Willard Hotel Friday at noon
in order to complete arrangements
fol the business session to be held
on January 81.
The meeting Of the association
was for the purpose of discussing
the advertising law and other top
les of interest to the newspaper men
of Kentucky. Ar effort will be
made to bring about some agree
ment as to advertising rates, and a
report is expected from Chairman
Landrum with the opinions of learn
ed counsel as to exactly what the
advertising law enacted by the last
Legislature means. The law is OBJ
served in most counties, but in
some it Is not, although it is of
great benefit in assisting people
whose property is sold by order of
court to get a good price. Hereto
fore the sales have been made often
with no more publicity than an
unin.elligible scrawl upon a sheet
of note paper stuck upon the walls
of courthouse or nailed to a tree.
The programme has been made
up entirely of subjects of interest
to newspaper workers. There will
be discussions of how to build up a
country newspaper, chances of the
daily in small cities, the future of
the metropolitan weekly, the best
way to make money out of job
work, the management of press and
composing rooms; and so on. Mr..
Sommers, of the Elizabethtown
News will tell how the country
weekly may be made prosperous,
and Mr.. David Wallace, of the
Warsaw Independent, will discuss
advertising rates. Mr.. Robert w,
Brown, managing editor of the
Louisville Times, will have the
headline for his subject, and SINH
lar topics are assigned to others.
The social feature of the meet
ing will be dinner at one of the
leading hotels, each Of the guests
paying his bill, which will be mod
crate. All newspaper men whether
members of the Press Association
or not are urged to attend.

The Saloon and the Church.

The true church stands for every
thing that the saloon is not. There
is no point of agreement between /.
All "understandings' and cempro-
misses are at the expense of the dig
nifty and purity of the church. The
church is constructive; the saloon
is destructive. The church points
the road to heaven, and leads the
way; the saloon helps men only on
the downward way.
These two institutions in our
midst, the one from above and the
other from the pit, are mutually
destructive of each other. Every
genuine convert the true church re-
ceives makes one less victim for the
saloon. The church is built up in
the development of manhood and
womanhood; the saloon thrives by
their destruction. The saloon could
not exist a generation if it werenot
licensed TO brutalize and kill men
and women and children. Its pre-
sent prosperity in America is con-
ditional on the filling of 100000
drunken and unhappy graves every
year.
There is not single human vir-
tue or interest which the saloon
does not menace. 1t is the blight
of love; the assassin of honor; the
despoiler of nome; the robber of
childhood; the leeeh OF physical
vigor; the deadliest foe of labor /;
the obstruction of commerce; the
waste of capital; the corruption of
patriotism; the promoter of crime f;
the enemy of all righteousness /;
the DEVILS synagogue, and his gen.
eral recruiting station for hell.
If the church is true to her mis-
sion, she must swear eternal enmi
ty to the saloon. Any favor ex-
tended this sensual and devilish
thing is an insult to God and dis
loyalty to Christ, the great head of
the church. If drunkenness shuts
men out of the kingdom of heaven,
then that which makes drunkards
must come under the ban of the
church whose mission is to rescue
the lost, and save men from falling
into temptation. One of the first
factors in the right settlement of
the liquor problem is the utter
reprobation of the saloon by the
church. To believe in Christ and
to love his church is to hate the
saloon.
In carrying out its policy of I'M
compromising hostility to the
liquor traffic, the church is not to
deal in mere denunciation, but must
adopt an intelligent and far-reach-

MR.. CARNEGIE SPEAKS.

Mr.. Carnegie was introduced.
He was given an ovation by the
great audience. He said in part:
The free library, maintained by
all the people, for all the people,
knows neither rank nor birth with
in its walls. Even he who honors
us today by his august presence,
the elected of the majority of the
English speaking race, position
compared with which all inherited
positiens sink into insignificance,
within these walls has no privilege
which is not the right of his poor
est and humblest fellow-citizen.
Free Libraries, maintained by the
people, are cradles of democracy,
and can never fail to extend and
strengthen the democratic idea,
equality of the citizen-royalty of
man. Iney are emphatically fruits
of the true American ideal, but
while even the President stands on
the common level as President. we
cannot fail to remember that in the
free library the man has place de-
MED to the official.

from Europe he found awaiting him

NEW LIBRARY
is Dedicated in washington.
Mr.. Andrew Carnegie Says He's in
The Business.

A throng of persons of note as
sembled Wednesday afternoon to
attend the ceremonies incident to
the dedication OF the Washington,
ID. c., J Public Library. The event
occurred in the auditorium of the
new library. The participants in
the exercises included President
Roosevelt, Mr.. Andrew Carnegie,
the donor of the building, and the
presidents of the Building Com
mission and the Board of Library
Trustees.
The library building is a beauti-
full white marble structure, occu-
plying the center of Mount Vernon
square, in the very heart of Wash
ington. For its construction Mr..
Carnegie donated $3.50, 900, and as
an architectural ornament to the
national capital it is quite equal to
the Government buildings of the
city.

ras PRESIDENTS ADDRESS.


The dedication exercises lasted
scarcely an hour. President Roose-
velt spoke in part as follows:
count myself fortunate in being
able to come here today, not only
for my own private individual sake,
but as in some sort representing the
people of all the country to express
my profound appreciation of what
is emphatically gift of wisdom, a
gift to do the utmost possible ben
eft to all of the people of this
country. 1t seems to me that the
man has right to call himself
thrice blessed who combines the
power and the purpose to use his
wealth for the benefit of our people
at large in a way that shall do them
real benefit; and in no way can
more benefit be done than through
the gift of libraries such as this
a free library, where each man, each
woman has chance to get for him
or herself the training that he or
she has the desire to
