Lotion, pastor of the Central Bap-
tist Church, Nashville, Sunday
evening, May IA, gave his audience
a strong sermon, in which he re-
ferred in plain terms to the whisky
ridden condition of Tennessee, and
condemned in no mild language
the use of "slush fund" by any
faction.
The responsibility of the church
member under certain conditions
were pointed out and stressed.
The rule of insurgency and the re-
volt against corrupt machines was
illustrated from sacred and divine
history.
The fusion Of Democrats and Re-
publicans for the redemption of
the State from the domination of
the whisky monopoly was spoken
of in strong terms of condemna-
&ion. Close attention was given
the sermon by the large audience
present. DR.. Lotion said in part:
"The day in which we live is no
exception to the rule of past histo-
NY. The insurrectionist still lives
and multiplies as our cumulative
civilization advances with it's vir-
Cues and magnifes with its vices.
We are getting better and worse
all the time. The mightier Of God
is for good, the viler of the Devil
is fer the bad. We find insurrec-
tion on both sides as the fight
chickens for the triumph of the
millennium.
"Evolution and destructive crit
5cism never 80 assailed the Bible
and it's doctrines of salvation by
grace, but there never was a grand
er effort in the assertion of old
time religion and in the evangeli-
cation of the heather world.
"Eddyism and Fosterism and
Elliotism, in behalf of scientific
sn6delity, in the name of Christ,
are seeking to wave their black
flag from the poles of our higher
educational institutions; but there
never was time when awakened
and active orthodoxy hoated higher
and fairer the blood-stained banner
of the cross. Religious insurgency
pro and con-is everywhere rife;
we are moving nightly, through
war, to the day when the millenial
lamb and lion shall lie down to-
gether.
"One of the fruits of our religion
and the great essentials to progress
and prosperity is civic and social
righteousness. Along this line in-
surgency is playing great part in
this country. Monopoly politics
is the supreme curse of America,
especially that monopoly which is
called the whisky machine. No
free government can long stand
with ita political parties allied
with special interest which Doodle
them for protection.
"This is prominently true of any
political alliance with whisky, the
universal destroyer of public and
privste virtue among all who have
any sort of contact with the saloon.
The good people Of this country
men of all parties-are rising up
everywhere to ideals instead of
party lines, and the dog days OF
the yellow hound in politics are
drawing, apparently, to close.
"The Democrat and the Repub-
Iicen are cooperating and fusing
Cor the best interests Of their coun-
try, and in spite Of the 'slush fund
of the whisky and other monopolies
they are not only exposing bribery
and fraud-not only prosecuting
monopoly and violations of law,
gant they are combining fer legis-
