AIDING THE INEBRIATE
REV. E. TENNYsoN SMITHS
THEME LAST NIGHT.

That the drunkard is worth helping was
49,, ,han,e Of the address made by Rev. f.
Tsnnvsou Smith of England last evening
y. reeting held in the Second Baptist
I,hurob at 4th street and Virginia avenue
ou+baast In carrying out that idea ne
,Ius.rated II by telling of merchant IN
Ino,a,5 who was once a drunkard. one
of tho rbiIauthropists of the city In Whlch
the man lived got him to sign the pledge
for one month. That gave him a start
and he began saving up, and finally saved
up $500 With that he started in business,
and in a few years his payroll for one week
Amounted TO more than that amount, and
he had a stock worth thousands of dollars.
That drunkard was worth saving, the
speaker thought.
In the early part of his speech, Mr. Smith
spoke of the expressed feeling OF brewers
and saloon keepers toward the drunkard.
IT notice" he said, that the local Retail
Liquor Dealers Association said at meet
ing about a week ago That not over per
cent drink to excess and that they implored
those who did drink to excess to stay away
from their bar rooms. / wish could get
all the drunkards of this city to hear and
TO read what the liquor dealers and the
brewers say about them. They may be-
come too vile for the saloon. but they are
not too vile for Jesus Christ.
Bread 4uSC0du u 6tOAS.
But In helping drunkard. don't give
him a stone. when he needs food. He wants
bread more than temperance pledge or
tract First give him back his self-respect.
Get MIN some new clothes and make him
burn the old ones.
II want you people Of Washington to feel
encouraged by this campaign. You have
to bear the hard, persistent labor for month
after month and year after year. But the
saloon keeper will go down. Is going down.
A few days ago you read in your papers OF
an attack by the liquor men on this cam
paign. denouncing the Rechabites and this
cause When they did that they acknowl-
edged that we hurt them.
ITO the liquor mon, ] say we challenge
you to come to the platform in one Of these
meetings and defend your trade. Suppose
we gave that chance to the dry goods mer-
chant or the shoe dealer--ile would rush
here to advertise his business. What about
the liquor men :"
W. H Mcconnell. chairman of the CAM
