The DEVILS Money to Build Churches

The late Rev. Sam Jones, when reproached
by some good people once for riding on 9
train on the Sabbath day, made the apt reply
that when he ound the devil going his way
Lords cause by riding him. There are other
people who seem TO take the same practical
view Of this question.
While prohibition is spreading throughout
the country, and especially In the south where
five states have already adopted statewide
prohibition and the others are dry In larger
part under lacai option laws, South Carolina
presents q striking exception with her dis,
pensaries, which seem 10 increase their bus1-
ness as The liquor traffic decreases-theoreti-
caily at leasl-in her sister states. For the
past year all the various dlspensarles IN
South Crrolina have reported unusually large
sales, In some cases SO large as TO admit OIL
the Remission in whole or In part Of county
and municipal taxes.
In some counties they nave done even
better than that.
From Orangeburg county, for instance
comes the report that q church has been built
with the surplus profits OF the dispensary
sales, after ali the other contemplated public
improvements had been made and paid lor,
So much money rolled into the treasury OF the
little town of Livingston in that country
fiom the dispensary profits, that the city
fathers were sorely troubled In finding ways
to spend IT. So when one VI them proposed
that they build q church with II the sugges-
tion was adopted with enthusiasm. The
church was built, turned over 70 the Metho.
duly dedicated.
Liz Sam Jones, the church officials pro-
badly reasoned that when they found the
devil going their way II would be turning the
tables on him TO ride him.
Objection was made, SO 1t Is stated, on the
part OF come conscientious members, Of the
church, 10 accepting this booze money 10
build the church. II there really be such q
thing az tainted money, surely this was II.
The church Is arrayed against nothing more
strongly and unanimously than 1t Is against
the LIQUOR traffic, and In every movement for
It's suppression the church Is in the forefront
OF the fight. Yet here, when q sop was
thrown 10 the church in the shape OF a por'
ton Of the profits OF a booze shop, 1t was
promptly accepted.
If selling liq uor, even under proper resula-
ton, be such u damnable thing as IL Is painted
by tine regulation preacher, then surety the
tainted money 10 be found. 1t must be
allowing the devil TO build the church when
IL is built on such money. But perhaps the
ride 10 Righteousness s is Just as sweet and sale
arrival at the contemplated destination just
as sure, even though The devil pays the fare.

days ofSt. Johnsbury, and has written
historical articles of more than usual
merit. She was an active member of the
Seventy Club and faithful member OF

Coming January Is.

Arrangements have finally been com.
pleted for the appearance here of the
great New York production "Pollv OF
the Circus which played one year at the
Liberty Theatre, N. Y, and which is one
OF the most costly and difficult PLAYS to
produce in the smaller towns owing to
the immense amount of heavy scenery
used, especially in the circus scenes
which include horses, ponies and a host
of performers.
This is the largest and best attraction
booked by the New Music Hall manage
ment since the opening of the house and
1t is expected that the appearance of such
an attraction here will result in a full
