MINISTER'S DISCUSS
THESALOON PROBLEM
Evils of Liquor Traffic Con-
demned-Dilferent Ways of
Dealing With 1t Suggested

The Rev Edwin Hay Wcslcr pastor of
the German Reformed Church, at 3Sth and
Barring streets, in addressing the Re.
formed Ministerial Association AT their
weekly meeting, today, in the Reformed
church at 18th and Race streets said
that he was not in harmony with the
views of the majority of pastors of Ger.
man Reformed churches in Philadelphia
In their attitude ON the temperance Qucs.
ton. The subject Of Mr. Wcscr's paper
was "rhc Pulpit and the Temperance
Question"
Doctor Wcslor expressed the opinion
that the sCathiug dcnunCiatiOn of the
saloonliccper from the pulpit would have
the effect of dsCouraEinE any who might
have some thought of entering the church,
and would make enemies Of them instead
of helping them in their decision, lie
believed in cutting at the root of the
tree, and by personal appeal getting men
engaged in the saloon trade to abandon
the business. He does not believe in the
methods of BILLY" Sunday in dcnOuncing
the saoonkceper. hut would deal with
the question in a sane manner by getting
these men interested in the church and
it's work, and so get them Voluntarily to
give it up.
The Rev. j. NJ. S, Iscnbcrg, pastor of
Trinity Reformed Church, Broad and
NcuanEo streets, and president of the as.
Sociation. in the general discussion of the
subject Wnlch followed, took exception to
the views of Doctor Wescr and denounced
the saloon. The fact that the asylums of
the country We're filled with the victims
of the saloon should he considered as well
as the coming generations Sunday is
right in his idea of naying the Erogshop."
he said. THE only way to get rid of it
Is to dump the whole business into the
sea"
The Rev. S. w. Berlcmann said that the
temperance question never bothered him
at all. He never gave 1t thought.
There are no German drunliards in my
congregation and no Germans in the
whisky holes. / would not condemn q
man because lie drank a glass of beer If
YOU do, you are very narrow. | admit
that the trade Is a damnablc one, hut
we must look Mt it and deal with it in Il
rational way. Christ dealt with the liquor
question in a rational way at the we'd
ding feast. If you show me that it is
a sin to drink Il glass of beer, | will agree
with the speakers who have preceded me"
Several succeeding speakers took the at
titude of unaltcrablc opposition to the
saloon AS conducted, the difference of opin-
ion being as to the best manner to COM
bat the evil and relieve the community
of its menace.

1T has come forciby to my notice Of
late that the Public Library and the Book

drug stores, have been putting out and
encouraging a particularly low quality of
literature. Their so-called best sellers
and popular novels are degrading, they
are vicious and immoral The more I'M

Not only are the adults reading this

fight for their determination. The secre-

that they will all join in the fight Social

The Middies came through with the
