In the death of DR.. P. A. Baker the
temperance army of the world has lost
its most outstanding leader. For the
last 20 years he has been the Com
mander in Chief OF the organized
forces that were battling for the exter-
mination of the liquor traffic, and
while he has been the outstanding
world figure in this war he was best
known and most highly appreciated in
his own state, Ohio.
Here his sturdy qualities Of leader
ship were realized and here his in
vincible courage was first put to the
test. He fought and won number
of bitterly contested battles, then hav-
ing won his spurs he was drafted for
larger leadership. His deep political
insight made II an easy matter for him
to continue successful warfare
against the deeply entrenched political
forces of the liquor traffic, until the
final victory was achieved in national
constitutional prohibition.
Through all these years no one has
questioned his leadership. A man Of
sublime and profound courage and
deep religious conviction, he was able
at all times to inspire and hold the
confidence Of his associates. He was
not only inspiring but tenderly loved.
Nobody questioned his honesty Aand
sincerity of purpose, except the liquor
traffic.
While in the battle he struck terrific
blows, yet he was as tender-hearted as
4 child and won through the graces
Of his courtesy and consideration the
sincere love OF all who were associated
with him.
He has won for himself large place
in the history OF these modern times,
and the prospective OF the years will
make his service and his life stand
out with all the more brillancy.

toward the enenny's line-Dr. Purley
A. Baker. Oh, how we loved and adj
mired him; loved him because he was
humanely interested in all mankind,
and made great sacrifices that he might
help all fellow beings to higher level,
whether friend or foe. And we believe
that his greatest enemy down deep in
his heart admired this great fighter
for righteousness. M
DR.. Baker could truthfully say in the
language of the immortal St. Paul, Il
have fought good fight, l have I'm
ished, my course, / have kept the
faith" -5sea a5f
He was to be found always in the
ranks; in the front line where the en-
envy was pushing the hardest, and
threatening to break through; he was
the Phil Sheridan OF Winchester fame
when the army was faltering, he ap-
peared upon the scene-and his pres
ence was sufficient to rally the forces,
turn the enemy back, and save the day.
AS the great engagement was won,
and the enemy routed he exclaimed:
81 have finished my course" and at
tended to the putting of his house in
order for his going away; as he did SO
declared exultingly, Il have kept the
faith"
Yes, we know he did, and our lives
are richer, fuller, sweetcr, by having
brushed the graments of this great
man, who is not! For the Lord took
him."
We shall all miss him, and it will
be hard to find the man to fill his
place--but, the Lord found DR.. Baker,
and we believe the Lord will raise up
the right man to receive his mantle.

Superintendent, Anti-Saloon League of
Indiana

DIR. Baker was called into the work
of the Anti-Saloon League at time
when the liquor traffic was triumphant
well-nigh everywhere. He skillfully
enlisted the forces in every state of the
nation so that under his direction first
local option laws were enacted where
by wards, townships. cities and coun-
ties numbering into the thousands
were made dry. Then the issue under
his skillful leadership began to be
joined by states against the liquor
traffic, and the battle along these lines
continued with increasing success until
thirty-three commonwealth, through
their own enactments had outlawed
the beverage liquor traffic.
Before all this had been completed,
he had rallied the forces to take the
liquor traffic in its national citadels
and after the most terrific moral con-
flict of all time this movement sue
ceeded in placing prohibition in the
Constitution of the United States,
thereby outlawing the liquor traffic in
the entire country. Then the battle
was joined for effective legislation and
for law enforcement and further for
the defense OF our homes and hresdes
against the return Of booze.
Throughout this entire period DIR.
Baker was the Gideon, chosen of God,
as the leader OF the greatest moral re-
form movement of all time. With ca
pacities for leadership pro y
equalled by few and surpassed by none
i'll all time, with a strength OF charac-
ter and personality unexcelled, with a
far-reaching vision essential for the
consummation Of such a movement,
with boldness and daring seldom
cqualled and never excelled, but withal
a caution so often lacking in bold and
intrepid leaders, he proved the man of
the hour for this wonderful and sue
cessful crusade. With heart as bold
as that Of lion but tender as a child,
with a disposition that endeared him
to thousands with whom he came in
contact, we believe his name will go
down in history by the side of that of
Abraham Lincoln and Frances E.
Willard as the greatest benefactor of
mankind since the days of the Man
of Galilee.

in all my lifetime, have never met

man truly good and great answered
the call; man who, considering
present conditions, our race could but
lily spare.
The writer knew him long and
loved him we'll. He was firm friend
safe counselor; a dependable man
sturdy foe to sham; a strong fighter
for righteousness; lover OF, justice
and withal, charitable in judgment.
His departure was not only loss
to the work he cherished; the organ
ization he loved and to the promotion
of which he gave the best years OF his
life and his fellow workers in the
Anti Saloon League, but to all
righteous work and workers.
With the closing of his earthly
career there was a void lett in the
ranks of those whose lives have a
strengthening influence for good on
all other lives with which they come
in touch.
His life was life of sacrifice and
of service, consecrated to the uplft
of his fellows, the welfare of his
church, the honor of his country and
the glory of his God. A life guided
by discerning judgment, clean cut
conscience and loving heart.
Those who knew him best loved him
most; had the greatest respect for his
character, the utmost sympathy with
his motives and the strongest admira
ton for the wisdom which guided his
plans and activities.
His poise was remarkable; calm and
judicious, standing as immovablc as
the Rock of Gibraltar for his convic-
tons where a principle was involved,
yet disposed to yield graciously to the
, judgment Of his counselors when con-
sidering question involving policy
only.
We. of the Anti-Saloon League, will
miss his wise and efficient leadership,
but will not be disheartened The
God of the righteous, who called him
to his reward. will still smile upon our
work and will provide a leader under
whom we will march forward to the
consunlation OF the work he so greatly
loved and to which he gave his life.
He was a great leader. His lead
ings gave strength to be led He
passed through glory's morning gate
and walked in Paradise.

There was room on the program OF

The death OF Rev. Purley a. Baker,
D. d., has deprived this country of
one of its greatest moral assets. AS
Superintendent OF the Anti-Saloon
League of America for twenty years
past, he has exerted = mighty influ-
ence for moral, civic and economic
righteousness. When we reflect that
under his leadership the Eighteenth
Amendment was adopted and the great
cause OF prohibition given a world
wide sweep, we believe that his has
been the greatest achievement OF the
generation.
While we with a multitude of the
great Christian public mourn his loss,
doubtless we should rather be thank
ing God that he has lived and was per-
mitted to pilot the mighty prohibition
movement until it had reached its
present safe harbor. We believe that
there is to be no retreat, even though
his hand no longer directs the move
ment for the liberation of mankind
from its greatest curse. 1t is for us
who survive to avail ourselves to the
utmost of the benefits of his labors
and to pass them on in perfected form
to those who come after us.

Mississippi ~ a555#5

| first met the late Rev. p. A..
Baker, D. D., the splendid gentleman,
scholar and Christian, on one of his
visits to Jackson, Mississippi, in the
fulhllment of his official duties as Gen
eral Superintendent of the Anti-Saloon
League of America. This was in 1912
Among the many things that I'M
pressed and gripped me were his un-
usual qualifications for leadership. I
felt on that first touch with him that
he was sincere, intelligent, sane, safe
and fair. / trusted him absolutely
from the first to the end. We did not
always agree in judgment, but being
identical in spirit and aim, we were
held in closest fellowship, confidence,
love and esteem. He was a man of
penetrating vision and thoroughly
poised optimism.
His services to his country in one
Of the greatest rcformations of the
ages were simply invaluable. Others
might have led as we'll, but it is doubt
full whether any could have excclled
him. Many men might have hesitated
and failed in the face of the numerous
and formidable obstacles which con-
fronted him at almost every step in his
work. He never found resting place
at any time in his official career. But
finally he reached the point where the
load was too heavy for the enfcebled
body, which could endure no longer;
and on March 30th, being the holy
Sabbath day, his pure spirit made its
exit from the tenement of the clay
and was waited to its "housc not made
with hands, eternal in the heavens"
We cling to his memory as a loving
heritage to us individually and to the
cause to which he devoted his great
life.
The past is now a closed chapter.

idHlC, tuiil away llOlii lhSSS tSiidCi
"reminiscences and grid ourselves for
future struggles against the sleepless

achieved under the leadership OF Our

his heroic services and cherish his
blessed memory let us redouble our
activities to hold the banner where he
planted it, and to advance it at every
possible opportunity. We shall miss
him beyond our ability to express in
words, but God who gave him to US

us rally around the new leader and
push the work done by DIR. Baker to
greater success because of the founda-
ton laid by our fallen hero.

The Rev. iPurley A. Baker has, bceK,
great help to me in League work.
Some time in the early nineteen hun
bred, possibly as late as 1906, heard
him speak at Des Moines, Iowa, at a
convention OF the Anti-Saloon Ii Tic.
At the time | became Superintend-
ent OF the North Dakota Enforcement

ing the three days | was in Wcster-
vile. DR.. Baker gave me much in
formation and more than that, he gave
ME inspiration for the great fight
against the liquor traffic. l became
and have been a great admirer OF DR..
Baker.
His was a most difficult task. To
organize throughout the nation the
Ant-Saloon League; to direct, hold
together and inspire the men and hold
the confidence of the churches is a
task far greater than many will appre-
ciate. To select the men for the
states, smoothc out the difficulties and
keep the organization out of partisan
politics yet fight men OF all parties and
stand by other good men in the same
parties requires unusual good judg-
ment and balance as we'll as courage.
"lf you would know the Architect,
look around you." If you would know
Purley A. Baker, look at the monu-
ment he has erected. Not building OF
stone. and mortar and fresno, but pro-
hibition, the Webb Kenyon Act, the
Eighteenth Amendment, the Volstead
Act and other laws in state and nation
that outlaw the beverage liquor traffic.
Before these could be, there had to be
builded into mind and soul of the peo-
pie of this nation a great ideal, seem
ingly insurmountablc barriers had to
be overcome and faith must be created
in the minds of the people that the task
could be done. DR.. Baker would not
have us presume that he did more than
to help' organize, direct, inspire and
lead on the hosts of the Church In
Action Against the Saloon" until the
greatest moral victory of the century
is won 1t is not presuming other
than the facts to say that he did just
that thing.

He appealed to me as few men ever
do. In the eighteen years of my state
superintendency he meant more to me
than any other man. Never in my life

deeds to criticize. To me he seemed
always true to his friends, his enemies,
his duty, his devoted wife, the Anti
Saloon League, his nation and his
church.

REV. DAVID HEPBURN
Superintendent, Anti-Saloon League of
Virginia --.

DIR. Baker was a great administra-
tive leader, great political construc-
zionist, a deeply spiritual man, who
had clear vision, high purpose and
unusual special ability. He could
work with any sort of man and find
some good in that man which he could
use. 1t was great thing for him to
have lived to see the triumph OF his
cause. He has gone but he has left
behind him a matchless record and
the benediction of godly man. We
who are left behind will do our ut
most, God being our helper, to show
ourselves workmcn who need not be
ashamed, soldiers who will fight the
good fight and keep the faith.
