COMMUNICATION.
TEMPERANCE
VS..
VOLSTEADISM.

Pocomoke City Md, June II. 1922.
Mr. Editor:
| am one of those that believe the
world is growing better. 1t has been
said that there is a power in man
that makes for righteousness. The
universally of this power and the
preached word produce higher civil
ization and a righteous regard for
the rights of our fellow man. So that
the tendancy is slowly but surely to
create better state Of society and
better world. This is progressive,
and will eventually have its full fru-
ition when righteousness" shall
cover the earth as the waters cover
the great deep. This in accordance
with the plan of the Almighty, and
will be fulfilled in his time and not
by the activities generated by the
wisdom Of man.
We read the scriptures that in six
days God created the world. Scien-
lists tell us that each one of these
days were thousands or perhaps mill
ions Vi years. We know that Omnipo-
tence could have done this at once,
but for reasons of his own, he made
six creative days.
Then after four thousand years,
Christ came to save the world. Fl
came i'll lowliness and poverty to min
lister, to serve and save people who
despised and crucified him. His first
followers were a few unlearned fish
ermen. With this unpromlsing be
ginning, he had faith as we now have
faith, that the time will come that to
him Every knee shall bow and every
tongue confess to the Glory of Goa
the Father"
Now after two thousand years, We
find the world as it is today. Much
has been done, but there is yet much
to do. There are unbelievers who dc =
clare the whole thing a failure be-
cause more has not been accom-
plished. They forget "That a Thous
and Years in His Sight are
as One Day and One Day as a
Thousand Years. We know that
God still reigns, that in His own
time and in His own way, His pur-
poses will be fulfilled land the whole
world will be brought to "knowl-
edge" of him whom to know Alright IS
| life eternal.
But some are impatient, and put
their finite knowledge against His
Omniscience and instead of WAITING
for the Almighty in His own way and
time 20 overcome the evil of Intemp-
GRANGE, and all other evils, they rush
into law to compel man to be good
notwithstanding it is known that thie
is not Gods way and is therefore flu
tile | regret that a portion of our
ministry plant themselves behind the
| Volstead act and denounce those who
oppose it. Thus by their acts, they
belittle Christianity and confess a
want of Faith in the Power of God t.
on ercome this evil.
1t is their duty to preach Temper
ance, but TEMPERANCE does not
spell either Prohibition or Volstead-
ism.
A recent writer says, "That it is
the solemn duty of the citizens of
this Republic to obey this law. Those
who make home brew and buy liquor
of those who make it are guilty of
treason to the Constitution"
