IN MORAL REASONS
 FOR PROHIBITION
Dr. Duncan Resumes Subject
 at First Church
MEN'S S0ULSABOVE MONEY
Quotes Mayor Ward and Judge Feagin on Growth of Crime-Wants to See City Pure and
 Clean.

The moral reasons why Birmingham should have prohibition were presented by the Rev. James A. Duncan, pastor of the First Methodist church, last even ing. The sermon was a demand for pro- hibition, the high license proposition com ing in for a few knocks. Tis text was Matthews 4; s-9 which is as follows:
 Again the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and shew- eth him all of the kingdoms of the world and the glory of them;
 And saith unto. him, all of these will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me-"
 Commencing, Dr. Duncan said, Christ was like ourselves, with all of our de- sires and the same sort of trials. First. he was presented with the question of bread, then of luxury and then the whole world. The devil says these are\ yours If thou wilt but fall down and worship me and the answer was that which should be made by every follower of Jesus Christ: T want riches, but I cant have them come to nae contaminated
 "The attitude of every Christian man must be that every dollar that comes to him must be clean. Let's apply this to the liquor traffic. These men are saying, Fall down and worship us and we will give you revenue to run the town Are we going to say, Get thee behind me, Satan, or are we going to follow?'
 He then took up the question of the proposed high license and districting of saloons, saying, "These men don't want the saloon near them, but are perfectly willing to put 1t over against their neigh bor." He then quoted the following from Mayor Wards last message to the Board iof Aldermen:
 " Much of this administrations time has been taken up in the regulation of the liquor traffic, and despite these ef- forts we understand the low dive con tnues to grow"
 Not a New Thing.
 This high license is not a new thing. It was suggested in the Mayors message. Not long ago I was talking with a mem- ber of the Board of Aldermen, who said that he was not going to vote for the high license 1t knocked out the small man. There are men in this city who
