Little Rock, Dec. 15.-Col. George Thornburgh, president and T. C.. White, Superintendent, of the Anti Saloon League, has issued the follow ing call to the churches of Arkansas:
 At the last meeting of the Head quarters Committee of the Anti-Sa- loon League of Arkansas it was voted to request all the churches in the state to observe the first Sunday in January 1916, as an occasion for thanksgiving for statewide prohibition.
 'It was thought unwise to prepare a program as each church will have different views of the manner in which the occasion should be celebrated. Ev- cry pastor Is requested to observe the day in his own way. The coming of prohibition throughout the state should be referred to in some way in the sermons of the day, and prayer should be offered for blessing upon the law and for the faithfulness and success of the officers who are to execute it. Sunday School Superintendents may with propriety and profit call attention to the day in their Sunday Schools. It will be great day in the history of Arkansas, and should inspire us to grateful praise to the Giver of all good"
