GOVERNOR URGES
CHURCH MILITANT
Also Speaks For Local Option
at Meeting Held Near Johns
town Yesterday

Governor Brumbaugh advocated the
active church in two addresses yester-
day at the dedication of the new
Church OF the Brethren in Walnut
Grove, a suburb of Johnstown. About
1000 persons were present and the
second address was delivered at an
overflow meeting.
According to the Governors deflni-
ton, the church is the visible assertion
of the belief that the soul is immortal.
''If all churches in the Conemaugh
Valley were destroyed, social and civil
institutions must perish also" he
said. when you build church you
put prop under everything except
crime"
He continued: "The church militant
is a body all over the world praying
for and promoting peace. The
churches understand the larger and
better way of settling differences with
out arms, without the reaction to the
barbarous methods of the centuries.
The church promotes the reign of
reason, love of fair play and humanity
ana not the reign of force, hatred and
death.
THE church promotes good citizen
ship. You can't be a good church
member without being a good citizen
of the State and nation. Put your
citizenship into the church and your
church into your citizenship. If is
sues arise where it is n choice be-
tween right and wrong there the
church member should take his
stand.
IF you believe in local option and
that it is good for Pennsylvania give
it your support in the name of the
church. If you believe we should
have better housing TO help to bring
health and happiness and better
chance for the children coming or
in Pennsylvania help to bring about
conditions that will aid toward that
accomplishment"
Governor Brumbaugh closed with
a plea for support of local option can
didate. In his Altoona speech the
Governor was emphatic in his advo-
cacy of local option legislation and a
protective tariff. He declared that a
Republican President and a Repub-
lican Congress should be elected. In
cidentally he paid a tribute to the
late Highway Commissioner Cunning
ham, whose death, he said, was g
Statewide salamity. AS to local op.
ton legislation, he stated his belief
that the people coudl be trusted to de.
eide for themselves whether or moi
licenses sholl be granted in the severa
counties. He urged strongly the sup
port of local option candidates.
