This is the Church's Biggest Fght-Let Her
Treat 1t So.
There is thing that the church has to do
today that approaches in Importance magnitude or
cr1tcalness or tragedy mighty significance this
thing of the liquor traffic Its baeful influence is felt
IN every department of church work. The foreign mis-
slonarles tell great church conventions how
they have to combat it in foreign lands and how rum
we'll nigh ruins and atrophies all that they do Its
effects are before eyes. 1t even nvades the
church and influences the church Observation-Disclosures

the traffic, and casts its spell public officials
and makes them do its bidding. 1t vitiates our ct-
zenshlp and destroys the will and the moral stand
ards OF the people it ensaves 1t destroys that sub
stantia moral in the people which is the essen
tal foundation for the work Of the church with ndi
vidual Of community. 1t degrades our citizenship
until 1t is incapable of attraction Christian ideals
1t destroys the point of between the church
and the material with which the church must work.
This is the church's biggest job-her biggest fight
She ought to put at the top Of the program instead of
at the bottom. How utterly pitiful and tragca it is
that some churches and pastors and some church
boards should mlsconceve this mighty matter as to
crowd 1t down and down in diminishing scale until
it vanishes altogether Our church leadership tells us
that this is the churcs biggest task-then let her treat
it Let her put it first instead of last Let her give
it the best chance instead of the poorest Let her
increase her support rather than curta it, Let her get
the right conception and the right vision-and she will
march steadily forward in all departments of her labor

Whose Fault if We Lose?


Isn't it plain as "A C" that the church which
holds back at this time is contributing to defeat
if defeat comes? Isn't it evident that if any church
curtails it's moral financial support of the fight that
that church, by much, lessons the chances of vic
tory and the responsibility for defeat? And
if there be church which has been supporting the
AntSaloon League at the of $Ioo year. and that
church deliberately, directly indirectly withdraws
IS per cent of that support, that church be
held responsible for loss if loss comes? Whose fault
then if we lose? We decidedly-the fault of
the church that withdrew it's support the fault of the
Christian soldier who slept while the battle ragged
The fault of the church board that thought it not
worth while to the aid of the League in the
hour Of it's sore trial For this Anti-Saoon League
after all, is the churches organization, the churches
agency and if the churches do not take care of it
there is else to do it.
The League Must Be Excepted from the Budget
There is but one way in which this fight against
the liquor traffic may be saved and that by except
ing the League from the church budget and giving it
opportunity to be heard and to gather the sinews
of that will carry the fight. We glad to say
that most Of the budget churches of the state do
make exception of the League, realizing that it
not exist and fight successfully on any other basis
The fight which the League is making against the
liquor power in Illinois is important this time
than the matter of home missions foreign MISSIONS
or any missions. We have considered that statement
and weighed it we'll before making it. We do not
believe that the church make complete
of her missionary activities until she has throt
tied the liquor traffic at home and abroad This &C
cursed thing stands the path Of the church, and
the obstacle be removed before the church can
proceed
Besides-tnis fight against the liquor traffic is very
different from church mission enterprises. This is
and must be footing. We know perfectly
we'll that the 9Th day of next November great
battle is to be fought at the polls, and the
of that battle will determine whether the temperance
cause is to go forward backward for the next two
years-possibly longer. Here is stated time and
place for the Christian and woman and the Chris
tan church to fight if they would win. 1t will do
