church. but the city.

Il feel that In going TO my new
home I will be able TO do more for

ton and myself l leave my friends
with regret. but hope to he able from
time to time to be with them. While
my main duties in Atlanta will be to
teach. i hope to be able to preach
every Sunday"
Tho Kingdom at Hand.
DR. Young took as his topic ''The
Kingdom of Heaven Is AT Hand" and
derived his text from the fourth and
fifteenth chapters Of Matthew.
He deplored the action os many peo-
Pile in declaring that the ministry
should hold aloof from matters Of pub
lie and political moment, and should
remain in their pulpits, from which
eminence the message of the Lord
should be delivered
I'VE might rs well do away with
the church." said DR. Young. The
duties of the minister of God are to
go forth and preact the gospel to all
men. He must minister to the spirit
ual wants OF the people OF this world,
and in doing this he must go among
them, and not remain inside the
church building as figure. to speak
occasionally from the pulpit.

THE YOST LAW BEST
IN USE IN THE q. S.
|Governor Tells of Former
Enemies of Prohibition Who
Admit It's Virtues Now.

Charleston, w. Va, Aug. 3o.-That
the results OF prohibition In West Viz
ginia, after two months operation OF
the Yost law, which went into effect
July !, are 'marveious"; that the most
skeptioai opponents Of prohibition are
now convinced OF Its merits, that the
West Virginia law Ia the strictest and
best law Of Its kind in force in the
United States; that the county and
municipal authorities are a unit In
reinforcing the new law; that the
States expenses for the maintenance
OF the pauper and criminal classes
and the insane will be reduced suf-
Ifciently to offset the loss of 500. 900
revenue from the saloons; that the
citizenship Of the State has been bet
tered: that doctors and druggists are
giving their cooperation in the en-
|foreceineNt OF the law, and that the
law is indeed "a complete success are
the opinions Of Governor Henry Drury
Hatfield in statement given to the
press
Governor Hatfield says.
West Virginia is now in the second
month of real Statewide prohibition.
| and tire more we see OF prohibition
and lis wonderful results, the better
we like it.
Il have had numbers of men who
We're really opposed to prohibition and
who voted against its adoption 70
state to me that they were convinced
that the people~were right In adopting
a prohibition clause. to the State con-
|stitution. eliminating the manufacture
and sale Of whiskey and all other kinds
OF intoxicants. and should the oppor-
|tunity afford itself that they would un-
|hesitatingly register their Influence
and support in behalf of the dry
cause.
Results Marvellous.
THE results have been marvellous to
everybody and we find that even
among the element that opposed the
State being voted dry q disposition
manifested to giye their support to
seeing the law carried out In force
and effect. We have experienced no
serious obstacles TO the strict enforce
ment of the law, and believe that this
In a large measure is due to the excel

among the people Of the State during

RESULT Or PROHIBITION IN WEST
VIRGINIA MARVELLOUS SAYS GOVERNOR

ifeIs to the first day Of July, 1914,
when the law became effective.
West Nirginiass prohibitson law Is
the stricsest found on any OF the stat
ate books in the Unon, and FOR this
reason | ehiseve ii TO be the best Nc
effort was spared TO form the people
that It's provisions were strict and that
the law was backed up by severe pen
alties. and every effort would be made
- fully and completely enforce the
law.
Organization Small.
Our organization for the enforce
'ment Of the prohibition law Is small,
inexpensive yet complete and effect
.nal. We are accomplishing surpris-
'!ngly satisfactory results. and 1t can
not be said that West virginias pro-
hibitton law is not indeed complete
success,
I'm the enforcement OF the law we
have had the hearty cooperation of
the municipal and county officers.
The AntiSaloon league organization.
under the direction Of Mr. Crabhe. is
doing good. efrectunl work. and la as
sisting the prohibition commissioner
in q way that means a great deal in
the accomplishments thus far obtain
90 In the administration OF this new
law.
While West Virginia loses about
100000 a year in revenue from the
saloons. within the next few years
we expect TO reduce our State ex-
penses for the handling of criminal
charges and the maintenance OF State
asylunns that viii Offset the loss from
the revenues paid for legalixing the sa-
loon traffic.
VIII Better State.
I'VE also feel that our standard of
citizenship VIII be higher. and that
the generations to come in West vir-
ginia will be better from a standpoint
of strength. education. intelligence and
other environments which mean so
much to the success OF a great and
growing State, unlimited In natural
wealth such as ours. and upon which
depends our standard of citizenship as
TO what the future Of our State and its
achievements may be.
"our anticipations have been more
than realized and West Virginians ex-
poet TO make their state the ideal pro-
hibitson State of the Union. Legiti-

fered. but thousands of families have
been made happier and grocery bills,

gambleti and drank away their earn

THE more than ninety thousand

law that Is backed up by the over
