A GREAT EvlEGELIsTS VIEWS

The Rev. G.. Campbell Morgan, ID.
d., Of London, has an article in THE
Westminster" under the heading:
What Has the Nation TO Say With
Regard to the Liquor Trailer"
DR.. Morgan of course refers to
Great Britain, for the writing is
manifestly a portion of sermon de-
livered to his people in Westminster
Chapel
DR.. Morgan illustrates the fact
that the average Englishman is be-
hind the average American on the
subject of Temperance Reform. Re
striction of this traffic" is his idea.
The impossibility of successful ire
striction" does not seem to occupy
Dr. Morgan's mind We trust that
his great intellect will sooA be
brought to bear on the larger view
of the manufacture and sale of all
intoxicating liquors for beverage
purposes.
Restriction" has been well tried
on this side of the Atlantic, and un
,
self was originally an effort to re-
strain. Since that time such con-
spicuous attempts as the "Dispensary
System" in our Southland and the
"Gothenburg System" in Europe
have been tried, not only without
satisfaction, but with great disap
pointment
The only cure for the saloon, as
has been frequently observed, is no
saloon.
Dr. Morgan's appeal, however, to
the Church is excellent. He holds
that the Church must do her part
and that her members cannot be
aught but culpable if failure along
this line may be charged against
them. DR.. Morgan in this connec-
ton says:
1T is for statesmen to consider
the veXed and subtle questions of
how; but the Church should, with
answering loyalty to the ideals of
Christ, demand the restriction of
the traffic that does nothing other
than blight and blast and damn hu-
manity. There can be no two opin-
ions about that point. We may have
differences as to the length of time
limits, as to the method Of dealing
with licensing law, but if at this
crisis the Church of God does not
speak, then she is guiltily silent, and
the issue will be her own cOndemna-
ton and undoing in the days that
lie ahead. We must remember when
Christ challenged evil, evil chal-
lcnged Christ. We must remember
that the plea of the devil as he faced
Christ was this: Let us alone; what
have we to do with Thee? What was
Christ's answer? He rebuked the un-
clean spirit and demanded that he
should come out, and, in coming
out, the spirit cast the man to the
ground and rent him.
Before this demon comes out
are false to Christ if at this time we
do not speak on the side of that
righteousness and love which de-
mand restriction of this traffic, which
gives no material or moral strength,
but rather hurts and harms and de-
stroys wherever it exists"
Dr. Morgan also makes the follow
ing statement:
Il know the difficulty of this
problem. The difficulty of it is that
we are not willing, we Christian men
and women, to submit this whole
question to the simple arbitration of
the Christian ideal"

'Don the postoffice department to pro-
est against the action of the depart

this state. Senators Money and rercy,
and Congressman Bowers, Collier, Dick

except Congressman Humphreys, whU

fourth assistant postmaster-general, in
order to ascertain if any definite in
formation could be given by the de-
partment as to when there would be
a resumption in the installation of free
rura deliveries in Mississippi. It
seems that there has been suspen-
sion over the country generally of the
work of the department in putting in
rural routes, even when such routes
have been inspected and approved by
the department, and Mississippi, to-
gether with the other Southern states
