At the Luther Place Memorial Church the
pastor. Rev. j. q. Butler d. D., presents
throughout the year the Anti-Saloon League
and all temperance reform work whenever
opportunity presents. None of the people
of this church has any connection with the
manufacture sale of intoxicants; and
they are earnestly advised to help in every
possible way to reduce the number of sa-
looms. to destroy the liquor traffic and to
make a sober people.
Rev. w. f. Parsons. pastor of the Church
of the Reformation. had previously an
nounced another topic for the day but he
took the occasion to refer to the Anti

and commended ii to the active support of
his hearers, and in his invocation asked
God to strengthen its hands and give 1t vic

The Temperance Problem.

Rev John Van Schaick, jr., pastor of the
Church of Our Father 18th and streets
northwest preached from the text: Thy

was 1.-The Relation of the Temperance
Problem to All Other Social Problems" and
in discussing that subject he said society
is homogeneous. and what affects one part
for veal or woe affects all parts That
every true reform movement helps the
temperance movement and vice versa; that
the hope of the salvation of the world is
less in machinery than in saving individ-

Deut., 22;S Theme: Responsibility for
others safety. He said:
Here is a piece of ancient Hebrew legis-
latlon, which we may not see at once has
interest for us or application to our times.
But there is principle underlying this
legislation of the ancient Hebrews which is
not and never will be obsolete or without
application. This provision is founded upon
the principle that we each have respon-
sibility for the safety of others; that as far
as we can we must prevent ali possible
evil to others; must throw around them
such safeguards as their condition may re-
quire or our ability allow The principle is
susceptible of the widest and most varied
applica ton.
There is one application of this principle
l want to point out and emphasize today.
1t is the duty of the state to prevent so far
as 1t can, all possible harm and evil to its
subjects. 1t should build ramparts of safe
ty about the roof. 1t is upon this principle
that we advocate the regulation or prohibit
ton of the liquor traffic by state and ma
tional legislation. The public safety and
peace must be defended
IF it can be shown that the liquor traffic
is inimical to the welfare of the people, it
Is the right and the duty of the government
to suppress it, or to so regulate and guard
1t that the least possible harm may be in
hicted upon the community 1t stands i'm
peached by the verdict of the most thought
full and reliable public opinion a stand
Ing menace to public order, public health,
public decency and public morals.
"Jurists and statesmen in our own and
other lands are almost unanimous In their
Arrangement of this traffic as the source of
nne-tenths of the criminal cases that come
before our courts. Too long we have pur-
sued the selfish, let-alone policy. Is it not
time that We should seek to build ramparts
of safety around our youths and for the
protection of our weaker brother?

1t is an easy matter to fall off the roof;
nay, it is hard thing for many to stay on
the roof at all. With the saloons out Of the
