Our representative government = the
officials, as we'll as the real government
the people, must furnish the sentiment
through program of education that will
save our country from the outrages OF the
oudawed liquor traffic. Democracy is on
trial. To bring this about the friendly
citizen must be aroused to action; the I'M
friendly clement, by process OF cduca-
tion-the facts are sufficicnt-Can be made
to see that the one and only way out of
the present situation is to obey and en-
force this law. If the vets succeed in
their program, our country will be on its
knees in the dust before dominant out
lawed defiant liquor traffic.
The church must meet this challenge.
The prohibition of the liquor traffic is
right and must triumph. The church has
led the fight against this enemy for these
thirty-two years. The church is needed
in action more surely today than ever be-
fore to complete the unfinished task.
When the church was ready to put into
the fight for prohibition her great power,
our country wrote the prohibition prin-
ciple into the Constitution and into our
statutes; when the church is ready to put
this same righteous power into the great
cause of maintaining and making effec-
tive prohibition, it will become the set
tied policy Of the country.

whether or not we realize on the invest
ments of the years that have gone before

sponsibilities as effectively as they have
met the old ones.
The keystone OF the arch OF all tenn
perance activity is the missionary spirit.
The definite objective of the Anti-Saloon
League OF America is "the determination"
OF the beverage liquor traffic. That OBJ
ject will have been accomplished only
when in every nation OF the earth the iq-
nor traffic has been placed upon the shelf
OF antiquity
The possibilities Of the world movement
against alcoholism challenge the imagin-
alton. The unparalleled opportunity pre-
scented by existing world conditions to the
forces OF prohibition in America is such
as has never before been presented to the
moral forces OF any country Americas
decision in this crucial hour means much,
not only for the solution OF the world
liquor problem, but also for the influence
which such a solution Is bound to have on
the worlds civilization Is it not possible
that in responding to the call of the world
for help in the struggle against the liquor
traffic, the religious and moral forces OF
America may play significant part in the
fuldllment of the prophecy of Isaiah, who,
as lie looked far into the future, weighing
world conditions and measuring the pos
sbilities OF the movement to be started
by the promised Messiah, said:
y bruised reed shall he not break,
dinly burning wick shall he not quench:
he shall bring forth justice in truth. He
will not fail nor be discouraged till he
have set justice in the earth, and the isles
shall wait for his law"

A WORLDWIDE VISION

BY DIR. Ernest H. Cherrington, General
Secretary, World League Against Alco-
holism
The securing of national prohibition in
America has been heraded to the world
as one of the greatest moral victories of
the age; yet the adoption of prohibition in
America was not so much victory over
which to rejoice as it was new respon-
sibility demanding at the hands of the
moral forces greater activity, greater
courage, gretaer sagacity greater deyo-
ton and greater practical service than
ever before.
The great test for the victorious moral
forces of America is whether these forces
can meet the new opportunities and re-

Thirty-two years ago the nti-Sa1oon
League was born. 1t was an answer to
many prayers. God ordained the Anti
Saloon League. At Oberlin this League
was founded in prayer. God ordained the

methods. God gave the pastors vision to

God marshaled the INSTRUMENTATION

He opened hearts and purses. God called
science to witness. God stirred the con-
science of the nation. Legislatures and
Congress heard the voice of Gods voters
at primaries and polls. Local option was
rapidly granted. Townships, wards, cit

Thirtytwo years ago there were in the

the number rapidly increasing. The pre-
