that DR.. Scudder. the new but now

Miss Yarrow declined to discuss the

services. She would merely say that
her resignation would express very
painful regret that her relations with
the church for eight years, which had
been very dear and near to her heart,
should now be sundered.

Mr.. WOOLLEY'S PLAN

CONTINUED from Page One.)
Saloon League to come and lend a
hand.
II am sorry that some of my radical
prohibition friends on the mainlan1 are
unable to agree with me that we have
passed what may be called the CARR
son and Lovejoy period of the prohibit
ton movement, and come fully and
fairly to the Lincoln phase of it where,
certainly, no less loyalty to the cause
is required, but more discretion and
considerateness of the views of others.
My opinion of the present situation
here and everywhere, is genuinely OPP
timistic. 1 count myself very happy
to have lived, even in my little minis
try, to see the tide turning, with all
ranks and conditions of people against
the saloon-the deadliest enemy CT
men,"
IN PROHIBITION STATES.
Touching upon the genuineness of re-
form in prohibition States, Mr.. Wool
ley said:
The last argument against the
policy of no license is now being an.
swered, eloquently and decisively, in
the States of Maine, Kansas and North
Dakota, where the prohibition law.
while not perfectly enforced, is well
enforced, and increasingly well en-
forced"
What manner of campaign dc you
propose to wager" Mr.. Woolley was
asked.
II don't propose to wage any cam
paign,' he said. 81 propose to be the
best citizen I can be. to practise my
profession, and help the men who have
invited me to come here. I do not seek
to be an agitator, but a builder; not
so much to make war on the saloon,
as to do good service in building up
a public sentiment which will demand
obedience to the law, and which viii
not tolerate a business that does no
man any good but injuries everybody
I'm this way shall be the most
useful to the community, and get for
myself the best training for Increasing
usefulness.
cit is my understanding that the
Anti-Saloon League in the islands pro-
pose to make the best use possible II
the present law, and to hold UP the
hands of the Commissioners in the way,
that they are honestly and diligently
seeking to serve the people whom they
represent.
''In the nature of things, we shall
seek to discover and secure improves
ments in the law, and to hope, for
time, not very far in the future, when
a legalized liquor traffic will not be
able by it's presence to cloud the title
borne by these islands throughout the
