address IN which he declared it IS
I high time for the church people who
! are not extremists to take a hand and
settle the liquor question on arational
basis He said he believed this to

he hoped the ministers of the gospel
of all denominations would be wise
enough and foresighted enough to
see the question in the same light
THE church can no longer afford to
Eaye its name exploited in the man
per in which it is being used by the
PrChibitionists, said Wasson.
THE church cannot aoquiesce in
the Prohibitionist sentiment that a
man cannot be good Christian and
handle or drink liquor The church |
and the Prohibitionists are as far
apart as the poles.
Rev Wasson said the qrestion of |
in moderation cs one of in |
dividual conscience. He declared the |
Prohibitionists ire puritancal and
that a puritan il ) manufacturer anal
wholesale dealer in artificial sin"
THE Prohibitionist believes in a

The real question before the

Shall we have the open legitimate
