it ought to be.
This is the churchs fight. The saloon is the
church's greatest enemy There is nothing that would
enhance the prestige Of the church and give her
standing and respect in the eyes of the world vic
tory this greatest Of all organized evils. Let the
church throttle the liquor traffic and she will the
greatest revival of religion in her history Note the
change in the attitude of the liquor traffic toward the
church in the past few years 1t only few years
ago that the liquor traffic spoke contemptuously of
the church and her influence today it's prints are full
Of expressions Of solicitude for her welfare. 1t is
coming to respect her power 1t is coming to under
stand that the church do things when she wills
do them 1t is coming to realize that the church vote
when organized and in earnest, will quickly seal the
doom of the liquor traffic.
If there is any thing that the church should
do it is this thing that have in hand If there is
any task to which she should now without delay
devote the best of her zeal resources the task
of striking down the saloon No organization has
ever made such Roadway against the liquor traffic
the Ant-Saloon League It is the only organization
sincerely feared by the brewer the dstler and the sa
loonNeeper 1t is the only organization that goes
about he task of throttling the liquor traffic in
practical and definite and thorough manner. We say
it emphatically-it is the only organization that can
quickly solve the liquor problem And the League
CAN do it's doing it. These things true and
they ought to stir every pastor and every ayman to

This is no time to stop fighting. The outlook for
county local option in Illinois favorable.
This is time for churches to lag in support of the
League and it's work. If church doors ever should be
open to the League it is now. This is no time for
kickers to kick, and GROWERS growl 1t is time for
everyone who hates the saloon to lift and push and
give and sweat-FOR THE VICTORY is IN
SIGHT.
The League Deserves the Support of the Churches
The Anti-Saloon League of Illinois has put up
good Highland it deserves to win. Furthermore, it
will win the churches of the state loyal in their
support of the Leagues program. And we say it
emphaticalythe League deserves the support of the
church. The League has never made fight like that
through which we have just gone, thorough so
practical, SO intense and great in volume. Night
and day for six months past the League has been
busy in nearly every senatorial district of the state
building organizations polling the vote, searching
workers, enlistng precinct and school district and
church committees-that it mi ght gain the victory on
Primary day and insure the nomination of county
option to the next legislature This hard work
and it has been extremely l1ard-has brought
suits. Sufficient ground has been gained to insure
the passage of county option law that ground is
held 1t would be criminal, it would be the grossest
injustice if in the face Of an opportunity such as the
churches Of the state have they should fail to
take advantage Of this situation and press to victory
on the 5th of November
The Church Should Respond to the Leagues Call.
The churches of Illinois increasingly support
ing the work of the Anti-Saloon League. More
churches gave their support last year than before
in the Leagues history, and the past year will show
better financial support than ever before. But not
withstandng that fact the support which the League

intonation was not impeccable, yet the
