If the Election Were Now?
If Rockford's option election had been postponed
few weeks and could have followed such wet
exhibit as was seen on Seventh Street Monday
night, it might have been different. Two gentle
men walking Monday from Second to Sixth Avenue
stated to the Republic that they counted forty nine
intoxcateds on the way and the rotng of the night
natural consequence of such alcoholic
cesses Like conditions of moral obsession follow
ing the restoration Of saloons reported in other
cities A press report from Rochelle, in Ogle
County, says
More DRINKS Seen on Rochelle Streets than in
Thirty Years
''Nine saloons commenced selling liquor Monday,
and during experience of nearly thirty years in
Rochelle we have never seen so many men under
the influence of liquor in any day there
were in this city on Monday. The city bastile
not large enough to accommodate the drlnks.'
1t was argued that the licensing of liquor selling
under the restoration would produce 'Fmoral sa-
loons'' which would guard the community from
drunkenness Anti Treating requirements and
pledges of the picked and honorable to whom
licenses granted would prevent the moral
degradation and lawlessness toward which the
licensing of saloons heretofore has tended. But
these cheerful predictions of moral golden age in
dramshopping have unfortunately not been realized.
The army of liquor made rioters who swarmed in
of Rockford's leading business streets Monday
night making it unsafe for decent citizens consti-
tute vindication of the dry campaign.
The Model Saloon Mirage
1t is demonstration that the ''model saloon''
is mirage apparent only to wet imagination and
realized in the real saloon which the license
system gives The Monday riot shame and
injury to the decent business of the street where
the rioters held carnival The city the street
better protection than it is able to give IF it were
known that saloons were coming back it would
have been wise forethought to have doubled the
police force of the city Numerically as now or
ganized it is evidently impossible for the police
department to take proper care of the output of
Rockford's saloons.
The Saloon Always Will be Center of Evil
The evils resultant from saloons should be blamed
the system rather than the keepers of saloons.
It is practically impossible to have saloons up to
the moral standard of their campaign advocates.

IN THE CHURCHES
MINISTERS EXCHANGE PULP|TS AND
TALKS Of LAYMEn MISSIONARY WORK
The Evangelism Of the Mo
ment Is Bringing FL Paso
Churches Closer Together.

1t is all layman's missionary move
ment in the church world of Ell Paso.
Sunday nearly every minister touched
on the subject in some way, and
number exchanged puIpits for the day.
That the missionary movement-the
evangelism of the moments bringing
together more closely the various de-
nominations is evident by churchIy
incident of Sunday.
When the congregation Of the First
Baptist church met for the morning
service all were surprised to see Rev
Perry ]. Rice in the place of their own
pastor. Mr.. Rice spoke of the layman
movement, what it means and what II
is intended to accomplish.
Also when the people Of the FIRST
Christian church met they too were
surprised Rev. Robert Bruce Smith
was in the place of their own pastor.
The unexpected visitor told of the mis-
sionary movement, speaking along gem
eral lines.
The two pastors had formed lit
tie conspiracy and exchanged pulpits
unbeknown to their flocks. Such Is
the spirit of the new church
Two other pastors exchanged pulpits
Sunday. Rev. r. W. Merrill spoke at
the Calvary Baptist church while Rev.
r. T. HarNs occupied the pulpit at the
Highland NIX Baptist church. Both

CHRIST'S PRAYER
FOR COMRADESHIP
DR.. Smith Says He Wants
Companionship of Dis
cinleS on Earth.

Christ longs and prays for the COM
radeship of his disciples here on earth
in this life" said DR.. Robert Bruce
Smith, pastor of the First Baptist
at the Christian church
His sermon was from John 1924,
Father, I will that they also whom
thou hast given me, be with me where
am; that they may behold my glory,
which thou hast given me; for thou
lovedst me before the foundation of the
world" He said:
TN this microscopy prayer our Lord
shows the deepest concern for His
disciples in every relationship of life
This particular verse is usually inter-
Hpreted with reference TO future fellow
ship and comradeship with the disciples.
But this prayer of Christ is equally ap
propriate to the present life. Christ
longs and prays for the comradeship
of his disciples here on earth in this
life. His disciples are very dear to His
heart. He craved with inexpressible
longing to eat the Passover with His
disciples. The Lords Supper exists for
the same fellowship.
Then Christ longed to have His dis
ciples with Him in purity of character.
in humility and service also in vi
carious prayer for the lost world.
w nat, yet uOl Win me one
hour?"
DR.. Smith devoted the larger part of
the sermon to ChriSt'S desire to have
His disciples with him in the worlds
conquest He gave special attention to
the fact In calling the strong business
men from every walk of life into the
great Laymen's Missionary movement.
The text, he said, suggested a covenant
between God the Father and God the
| Son for the worlds redemption. He
declared that men need the vision of
Christ to see that this field is the world.
Some pepole are short sighted and
see only missions at home; others are
| far sighted and see only foreign mis-
sions. But Christ has a vision for all
and for worldwide conquest. He is
conducting world campaign and He is
calling for volunteers He longs to
have the church keep step with him and
| to share in His work." he concluded.

say exactly that hut he does say this,
just by way of advice:
Let me urge that you take a broad
view of life and of religion. Do you
believe that the vast majority of the
human race is doomed TO everlasting
fire? Do you think that only here and
there one will escape the forever lost
class? Do you picture hell as populous
and crowded, and heaven peopled with
a Scanty few of the elect?"
And here are some of the other things
he said at a meeting of Congregation
alists at the Y. NJ. c. A yesterday:
ANY paltry way of looking at life,
or religion is false, for religion Is not
something written in a code, nor en-
shrined in creed. nor housed in the
seclusion of the church, but is spirit
which permeates thought and daily con-
duct, on the street, in the factory, the
store or the bank. The only true
church-the prophet practically asserts
has the dome of heaven for its roof,
and the blue horizon for its walls.
The foot-rule religionist, however,
has still something of a vogue in this
Goth century, in spite of the warnings
and admonitions of prophets, poets and
seers. Do you believe in this or that
doctrine? cries the uptodate theological
inquisitor. Do you go TO the true
church? Are you tinctured with uni
tarianism? Is the poison Of universal
ism working in your thoughts?
Gods remonstrant angel OF progress
needs TO again visit US and sweep
these narrow men, with the foot-rules,
aside. How is 1t in other realms than
that of religion. Take the world of
music, for example. John Stuart Mill
placed his foot-rule of logic alongside
the realm of music. There are only
seven notes, he declared, and soon the
time will come when all of the pos
sible combinations of these seven notes
will be exhausted.
How false an estimate. Music does
not consist Of seven notes, but is some
thing beautiful, devinely delicate, like
a perfume, so subtle as TO be unmeas-
urable. No logical foot-ruie can take
the height and breadth of this won
drous art any more than religion can be
comprised in a creed, or a mumbled
set Of ritualistic forms and ceremonies.
Away with this foot-rule Of intol-
erance. Be assured that not half as
much is revealed in the scriptures as
many imagine, except in one direction,
and that is the direction of the Divine
love. In that clear light will some of
us gaze with wonder at our own feeble
efforts to dam up the stream of Gods
majestic thought, and to measure with
our little sectarian yard stick the scope
OF His great plan"
Mr.. Preston also spoke at the mems
meeting yesterday his subject being,
Thou Shalt Not Tempt the Lord thy
God"
