A man is worth no more 20 So
ciety than his character is worth.
Truth and righteousness are rs
necessary 10 Cood character as
oxygen and hydrogen are TO
water.
The earth is refreshed and
preserved by the sun and rains
and the rain-drops coming down
upon II: so men are made better
and saved by the coming upon
them OF the Spirit Of God.
The sun is the life OF the solar
system: SO Jesus Christ is the
HE and the light of the world.
Bread and water and SUNLIGHT
are necessary to mans BODY: so
Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit
and the Word of Cod are neces-
sary to mans soul.
All sane and healthy men are
careful about feeding their bodies
regularly and properly.
All truly wise men are more
thoughtful and careful about
their souls than they are about
their bodies: men concerned about
their higher life than their lower
life.
Oil and water will not mix:
neither can truth and evil unite.
Light is opposed to dark
ness, So truth is opposed to error.
No compromise is ever made
by truth with error.
Sin and death are mans worst
foes.
There is only one being in the
universe who can enable man to
overcome these foes, and that
being is God.
Darkness cannot expel dark
ness; no more can sin overcome
sin.
Some men love darkness
rather than light, because their
deeds are evil.
The blind cannot lead the blind
with safety. II the bind lead
the blind, both shall fall into the
ditch, " said the great teacher.
A bad man a sinner cannot
teach men good morals.
1t is worse than ordinary mur-
der for wicked man to in
tluencc another to do evil.
Gods Word says; Woe unto
them that giveth his neighbor
drink. "
St. Paul says: IF meat make
my brother to offend, I will eat
no flesh whie the world standeth.
lest | make my brother to OF
fend." "
Jesus Christ says: Whose
shall offend one OF these little
ones which believe in me. it
were better for him that a mill
stone were hanged about his
neck, and that ne were drowned
in The depths OF the sea"
Christian men cannot and will
not aid or 2bet the sale and use
OF Intoxicating liquor rs a bever-
age.
The selling Of such liquors as a
beverage, for the sake OF rev
enue by the State OF South
Carolina, is d stencil in the nos
trils of the Christian men and
women of our Commonwealth.
Prayers an going up to AL
mighty God, from thousands of
hearts, for his condemnation up
on the daTalie traffic in lntoXi-
eating liquors.
Every proper effort will be put
forth by tne preachers and
christian laymen Of South Caro-
lima to destroy the Dispensary,
because they regard it a monster
evil utterly corrupt and cor
rupting.
The unkind, misleading, and
false charges made by some
blind leaders oil the blind"
against preachers and Christian
men who are worniag for prohi-
bition will certainly react and
fall with crushing weight upon
their own bald and sinful pales.
The cry is: Make the Dis
pensary better, by putting good
men in charge OF it. " This is an
attempt at the impossible. Good
men-in the true sense cannot
De induced to engage in such Il
degraded and degrading business.
Enough so-called good men have
already been tried and found

Long observation has led me
