 ''No line of business can be success fully conducted if it is undertaken along the strictly narrow, selfish lines of i'm mediate per sonal profits. There must be in it the policy of broad-mindedness which seeks to conform itself to the af- fairs of other men in your community. No community can live alone; no state can live by itself; no man can pursue the affairs of his own business and be large ly successful unless he is willing to take an interest in the affairs of his fellow men with whom he comes in contact. trust that you may continue that con cer tion of the purpose of you rorganiza- ton.

 MT. Wells remarks were applauded very heartily.

Dr. Sheridan Speaks

Dr. Wilbur r. Sheridan said in part:
 The liquor traffic, far-reac thing as commerce. and remorseess as the grave, dictating politics, terrorizing trade, sub- sdizing newspapers, municipal courts, city councils and state legislatures, and bidding open defiance to all law, human and divine-here is an evil so vast, so gigantic as to challenge the heroism of every lover of God and man.
 And let it not be forgotten that no man can be good lover who is not a good fighter The courage that defends the home is as divine thing al the love that creates it.
 This fight for the destruction of the saloon furnishes the church of Christ with that heroic element, that moral equiva- lent of war which the late Professor James of Harvard called the greatest need of modern society. The imagination of the manhood of the church needs to be kindled and the moral nature galvan- ized into robust action by this militant appeal. Men have iron in their blood. They like to be aligned against a visible foe. Wherever the churches have thrown themselves whole-hearted into the fight against the saloon, 1t has turned the heartssof a multitude of men toward the church. The whole life of the church has felt the reflex influence as of mighty electric current. Hence. our churches, in lining up for the overthrow of the saloon, are not only saving society, but are say ing themselves.
 Never before in the history of the na- tion have the moral forces of our coun- try had before them SO clearly defined and so great an objective. And never be- fore in the history of the republic have the forces of good been so completely fused and massed together. For, be it re- membered, that good men were found on both sides of the slavery issue. But to- day the good men of both north and south, of every political party, are ar- rayed together against this common de- stroyer, and are marching shoulder to shoulder for the nationwide destruction of the saloon.'
 The third and last secnon of the fly ing squadron will be in Birmingham to- day and meetings will be held thfs s/t- ernoon and tonight at the Orpheum the atre.
 Among the speakers will be former Gov. J. Frank Hanly of Indiana; Oliver w. Stewart. former member of the Illi- nois legislature; John B. Lewis of Bos- ton. Hugh Porter is the pianist and Miss Vera K. Mullin the soloist.

 he votes and who both prays
 ,,es for the public veal and not
 private interests has no business out sr politics.
 The civic incidence of the upright is ltsef a capital crime of bribe taking, for Inc man who would vote right if he voted al all simply sells his ballot for the price of 't days labor when he pleads that he hasp't time to go to the polls.
 The saloon is an unmixed evil and un- mixed evils are never necessary evils. Even Satan. whose it is and whom it serves, has never been fool enough to call liquor selling a virtue. Shall the church now ground her arms because the saloons have made of certain political Parties so many cities of refuge? Men ought always to pray-for good laws and good officers-'and not to faint in their endeavor to answer with their resolute citizenship their own pious pray CTS.
 "Confidently expecting liquor dealers and their partisans to resort to every method fair or foul-mostly foul--to pre- vent and afterward to discredit whole some legislation, even the most goddess part of the world is amazed when pro- fcssed Christian citizens do not stand to- gother for law and order and temper an"e. He is his party's best friend who fights it's bad aims and it's wicked can- dioate.
