Church Federation

Last Monday night Dr.. E. s. Chap
man of Los Angeles. state secretary
OF the Antisaioon League, addressed
a large meeting in Christian Science
Hall at Scott and Sacramento streets,
held under the auspices of the Church
on the subject OF liquor trafiic and the
means to put a stop to II, he said that
there is no necessity for any additional
law. He said that the duty of the
civil government as defined by Black
stone, definition which has never been
controverted, is Ito legislate for that
which is good and to punish that
which is bad; that in this view the
civil Government cannot license that
which is prejudicial to the public health
and the public morals.
It was for this reason that the
Supreme Court decided that no Govern
inent had the authority to @legislate in
favor of lotteries or prize fighting. be-
cause such were against SpubNc morals.
and he held that intoxication was
against public morals, so all that Is
necessary to put stop to the liquor
traf1c is to work under existing law
and bring a test case before the Su-
preme Court of the United States
A step in that direction. he said, had
been taken in Indiana. The case will
eventually reach the Supreme Court.
He added that ne nao no DOUBT tnat the
decision to be rendered by that body
will be such that all liquor dealers will
have to go out of business.
At the meeting of the federation last
Tuesday night reports were presented
from each of the subcommittees and
one was read by Mrs. Games on the
condition of the refugees in the camps.
The matter was referred to a special
committee to report at the next meet
ing.
The street cleaning matterswas taken
up and discussed at length, and the
opinion was expressed that while the
city needs cleaning. and needs lit very
bad, the work should be done on a
week day.

both OF which will be sent on applica-
ton. can easily understand the methods
OF organization and work, and. while
the experience and devotion OF our field
secretaries make their advice valuable,
still this is offset by the fact that the
chapter as a means of concerted ef-
fort for the spread of the kingdom in
their neighborhood have the fuller
knowledge OF local conditions, oppor-
tunities and difficulties which is neces-
sary to any systematic and thorough
campaign. While field secretaries will
be sent wherever possible it is hoped
for them, but that the clergy and laity.
who are awake to the increasing need
and opportunity for aggressive personal
spiritual effort by laymen and boys,
viii study and pray over the matter
very carefully by themselves and adapt
the very simple methods OF the broth
erhood to their local needs"

BRISTOL va, January 1s-It has boon
discovered that q striking situation exists
with reference 70 the Bristol Street Rail-
way and its relation to the new E'oderot

this condition, the company has cut ONT
complimentary passes entirely. The at-
torneys OF the company have given Il
as their opinion that the railway IS 81
the interstate kind. and therefore amen
able to tho anti-pass law. This situation
arises from the peculiar fact that the

" on the State line between Virginia and
Tennessee. one rail OF the track being I'm
