Christian pulpit.
The traffic. driven from Fall River had camped in liver
just the city and state line, and had turned tina
ocalty into what Father Cassidy apty termed field
lood.'
Among other things Father Cassidy said:
[ desire you, my men, to fix your attention for
moment upon the keepers of these saloons. What
Germ have they for the moral loss of men? What
have they for the bodies for the souls of the
drunken horde who to pour into their capacous
maws earnings which bleed mother wife, daughter
and child? What have they for the city moral,
intellectual and spiritual welfare?
What is more they push the beer the bar to
the drunken father, what sympathy is In their hearts
for the broken mother for the greving wife and for
the starving children, to whose home they send him?
These know no law but plumber and no motto but
greed for gold. Have not previously stated it, that,
provided their business brings them profit they not
what their business brings to others?
One has said already: Give year of this and
[ will retire forever, rich man. That has not
given thought to the poor man whom, IN the meantime,
he will force into the gutter and drunkard's grave.
In the pursuit of their nefarous business provided it
is profitable to them, they not what it brings to
others.
Are you not sober men? Would they not destroy
every Of you? Are your wives virtuous? Would
they not ruin them in drunkenness and sin? Have you
sisters? Have you daughters? Would they not make
outcass of them in the disposition Of drink? Does the
law of peace and the love Of God lumne your homes?
Would they not extngush it if they could from the
dregs Of their empty beer barrels?
We have the saloonkeeper stripped to the waist for

moter of sobrety advocate of no-cense find in
