myself to oppose the deacons
However. while / have not used
my position as pastor to influence any
one. ! deem 1t proper at this time to
say that my judgment, most sincere
~ concurs in the recommendation pre-
scented by the board of deacons. Your
hearty vote TO enter upon the large
program outlined by them will ex-
tend UNNECESSARILY the influence Of
this church and make secure forever
the. foundations which your fathers
laid. I am thankful for the hallowed
memories that cluster around this
building. for the sacred sentiments
that have bound you here. No one
would do violence to them. Indeed.
the deacons probably surpass any
group Of us in their sentimental at
tachment to this house and location.
After the most patient and thorough
ton they have brought to you the re-
pert which you have Just heard. We
must be guided by what is best for
the church and the Kingdom. That
the new building on the new site will
advance the welfare OF this organiza-
tion and the Kingdom at large. ! am
firmly convinced.
Understand definitely that we do
not commit ourselves to abandon a
work on the present property. but dis
tinctly leave that for future considera
ton and decision. Furthermore, the
new building is to be the First Ban
list church in every sense. 1t is to be
erected by us all with one mem Der
making a generous initial subscrip-
ton. We should go animated by the
same fraternal spirit and filled with
the same Divine Spirit as are in this
present building and congregation. Il

as Special Interest

moved because of his comments on

the fling of Assemplyman Gillett and
speaks editoriallv OF the churches

special interests" In its edition or
March ~ it said;
ONLY two of the several interests
concerned in the liquor contro-
versy are in the business for what
they can make out of II. These are
the LIQUOR interests on one side
and William r. Anderson and his
followers ON the other.
This includes the 1000 churches in
the state which support the work OF
the Anti-Saloon League and compose
the working organization which EN-
ploys it's state superintendent. and
these churches and their members are
now spoken of by this Albany Repub-
lican party paper as being ''in the
business for what they can make out
of it,
Only those inca pabIe Of appreciat-
ing the difference between devotion
to human welfare at personal expense
and devotion to personal gain regard
less Of human i'll can comprehend the
dirtiness and moral invertedness OF
the Knickerhocker Press allegation.
The churches of the state of New
York are not in any business for
what they can make out of it." They
are about the business of human re-
demption. That is their Interest
and IN pursuit of that interest" they
arc lin the liquor controversy" to

tributiug hundreds of thousands OF
dollars yearly for prohibition work
not "for what they can make out OF
it," but for what can be done for hu-
mainly as a result of its use for the
suppression of the liquor traffic
