Probably the most difficult thing
for coach to do properly is TO bal

should weigh anywhere between 1e5

should not mix up tall and short men
In the same crew. He may have them

means defeat as sure ms he makes up
such a combination. "Of course. In
picking what Is the ideal size OF man

prove much more valuable than the

''As the traffic in and the use OF
Intoxicating liquors as beverage
are the prolific causes of so much
crime, poverty and suffering in Our
land, and as it costs the people so
much money in criminal prosecutions
and the support Of the victims of

enemies of the Church of Christ N
destroying the sanctity of the Chris
tian Sabbath in its right observance,
wherever its blighting influence IS

The Attitude of the Baptist Church
to the Liquor Traffic

The Baptist denomination being
congregational in government, there
is no higher body empowered to en-
act laws for the government OF in
dividual churches regarding any mat
ter whatever Each local church Is
a law unto itself, preserving in all
matters its absolute autonomy.
The deliverance of Our district
state and national conventions re-
garding missions, education, public
morals, etc, are simply advisory so
far as obligations of individual
churches are concerned.
erning all Baptist churches alike, as
to their relation to the liquor traffic
or any other matter of public concern
However. so far as the writer is in
formed, Baptist churches eveywhee
are urging the abolition of the liquor
traffic, and are engaged in relentless
warfare against the licensed saloon
The presidents of the Anti saloon
leagues of Tennessee, Kentucky and
Virginia, are Baptist ministers OF
the highest standing in their denomi-
nation, and Baptist churches every
where are in cordial sympathy with
the work of the Anti-Saloon League.
Our national and state conventions
and district associations always de-
vote a portion of time at their meet
ings TO the discussion of the great
and burning question, THE Aboli-
ton of the Liquor Traffic" Every
Baptist minister, therefore, who has
an opportunity to engage in this
warfare knows that he has the SYM
pathv and endorsement of his de-
nomination in his efforts. And now
the reason of this relentless hostil-
| ity is easily explained We believe
!, that the mission of Christianity is to
save people from sin and from the
direct and indirect effects of sin. We
believe that no other agency in the
lworld is more prolific of sim or
more blighting in its sinful effects
than the liquor traffic. The mission
of the saloon is to destroy character,
to wiring loving hearts, to sadden
homes that might otherwise be
cheerful and happy. We believe the
lsaloon is largely responsible for pow
lerty, vagraney, and crime: And in
Iasmuch as the church stands fol

The Christian Church and the Ii
quor Traffic

The attitude OF the Christian
church toward the liquor traffic is
that of an antagonist, uncomprom-
ising and determined The traffic
is recognized as an unmitigated evil.
There is no authoritative statement
outside of the Bible expressive OF
the position of the church on any
of Scriptural authority is such as
question, yet the universal recognition
rendes it absolutely impossible for the
church to occupy any other posi-
ton. The ministers of the church
generally, as we'll as the 1aity, have
always been advocates of temper
ance and moral reform The church
may be depended upon to do every
thing in its power to put down the
liquor curse. The members of the
local congregation are unit in fav-
or of prohibition

A Message From West Point

Owing to the fact that the tenn
perance agitation is foremost III
Greenville, and inasmuch as the city
of West Point is known as pro-
hibition city, I have been asked by
those interested to state the effect,
finan cially. and morally of prohib.-
ton upon that city The Hon B. Y.
Rhodes, mayor of the city of West
Point, and a Mason of repute thro-
out the state, stated in my presenc :
only few days ago that West Point
financially, commercially, morally,
spiritually, and every other way, IS
an infinitely better town than it was
when liquor was sold by license. Not
only is this true, bat It would be an
absolute irnpossibihty to induce the
citizens to return to the old order Of
things. The honor Of the city, the
sanctity of the home, the safety of
loved ones, and the preservation OF
manhood and womanhood absolutely
forbid it. Yours truly.

Letter From West Point
Presbyterian Position on Temperance

Presbyterian Position on Temperance
1t has been the principle of the
Presbyterian church not to inter
NEEDLE with political parties or ques-
tons She has refused, therefore, of
fcially, to ally herself with the pro-
hibition party, or to commit herself
to the political theory of prohibition
in any way, either pro or con.
She has constantly assumed tho
Scriptura1 attitude on teperance, and
has by repeated deliverances of her
highest court, the General Assembly,
denounced intemperance in the most
unequvocal terms. At least fifteen
General Assemblies have, in some
form or other, made deliveranceis
against the liquor traffic, leaving
testimony that it is fruitful source
of Astounding iniquity and misery
and urging tour people to use ali
means which may be approved by their
Christian conscience and Judgment
to remedy this evil throughout the
land and specially urging "our
members to abstain from the use of
Intoxicating liquors as beverage.
Year after year has the church re-
iterated her de1iverances on this sub
ject. and without any reference to
the political aspect of the temper
ance refrom, she has urged upon all
Christians the duty of using all leg
itimate means to promote the cause
of good citizenship. especially by re-
fusing TO be identified in any way
with the liquor traffic, the greatest
and boldest enemy to the Church and
home" and she has repeatedly de-
preeated the inconsistency of pro-
property for Immoral purposes The
attitude OF the Church and the spirit
Of her deliverances may be best un-
derstood by quoting in full the action
taken on two occasions by her high
est court.
The General Assembly of 1888. ol
the Southern Presbyterian Church.
puts itself on record as follows
"Whereas, among the sins OF the
age, intemperanee is pronounced as
leading to ddleness, poverty, crime,
misery: and whereas drunkenness IS
greatly obstrueting the progress of
the truth as it is in Christ Jesus, and
on the authority of the Bible, no
drulkard can enter the kingdom Of
heaven; therefore,
Resolved, That committee OF
FIVE be appointed to report to tbs
next General Assembly what steps
If any, can be taken by the Genera
Assembly of the Presbyterian
Church in the United States to avert
the progress of this great evil, and
as far as possible, remove the bar
