A recent issue of Tropical Life, a
monthly journal edited by Harold
Hamel Smith and published in Lon
don, contains a high tribute to Pres
ident John A. Widtsoe of the Univer-
sity of Utah.
Introducing DR.. Widtsoe to his read

ment, in SO far as it aims at the chang

recognizes the gravity of the evils con

official English organ of our church,
under the caption Prohibition, refer
ring to resolution passed by the Unit
ed Norwegian Church of America, as
sembled at Great Falls, Mont, June l,
1916, in favor of prohibition, says this:
| The passing of such a resolution by a
church body of representatives of
Christian congregations, who are assem-
bled to do the work of the church, is a
great mistake. y The unwarranted
and foolish activity of other church
bodies in favor of prohibition compels
us to teach our people that the Bible

state to pass laws prohibiting the man

LUTHERAN DIVINE ON
PROHIBITION QUESTION

At the close of his sermon at st.
Marks Lutheran church in Butte last
Sunday night the Rev. M. D. Mudtloff,
the pastor, read the following statement
in regard to his own and the views of
the church on the subject Of prOhibi
ton:
II am convinced that prohibition is
menace to true temperance, that it will
not solve the liquor question, that it
will not remedy the abuse Of intoxi-
cants. 1 believe that this form of leg
islation is menace both to political and
religious liberty and that it will ruin the
prosperity of our great state. l believe
that it is our duty as citizens to thwart
the efforts Of the religious, political
combination, which tries to fasten this
measure upon our state The church
has overstepped it's prerogative, if by
political Vaccinations it tries to fasten
laws upon any community.
Views of Conference
"These are my convictions. You
know them. You also know the posi-
ton that our conference, assembled at
Lewistown, Mont, in April of this year.
has taken. 1t adopted the following res
olutions:
- L. We declare that the Bible con-
dennis and forbids the abuse of liquor.
s -. On the other hand the Bible
permits and sanctions the judicious use
of liquor.
go. 1t is therefore clearly a mat
ter of Christian liberty to use wine and
other alcoholic beverages, and no one
dare say, you sin, if you use it. If any
one would deprive us of this Christian
liberty, and condemn as a sin the use of
spirituous liquors we retort with st
Paul: Let no man therefore judge you
in meat or in drink, Col. 2-16.'
Position of Synod

of our synod, the Evangelical Lutheran
