in Wet LONDON

A Universal dispatch carrying a Lon
don date1ine OF December L, tells OF the
raiding of the Kit Kat club, the biggest
night club in Europe. The raid was con-
Quoted at twelve-thirty Sunday morning,
at which time there were about 500 men
and women drinking champagne in the
place.
The police took the names of all patrons
and will check them up with the member
ship of the club.
The dispatch says this is the first time
that the Kit Kat club received the atten-
ton of the police during its three years of
existence, and adds: THE event is not
expected to affect its future, but it is pre-
sumed it will lead to a more strict super
vision and probably the exclusion of all
non-members after the regular hours in
which liquor may be served"
Apparently liquor laws are not observed
any more faithfully in London than they
were in New York City in the days of Ii
cense in this country.

DR.. Ernest H Cherrington, general
secretary of the World League Against
Alcoholism, has declined to accept the
secretaryship of the Board of Home Mis-
sions and Church Extension of the Meth
odist Episcopal Church, to which he was
elected by the unanimous vote of the
Board of Bishops at Syracuse, N. Y, No
vember 10.
DR.. Cherrington in notifying the Bish-
ops of his declination of the Office, issued
a statement in which he declared that ever
since he had been elected he had faced
a most important decision, and had reluct-
antly concluded that he could not accept
the important work to which the church,
through its Bishops, had elected him.
The splendid opportunity thus present
ed for high service has challenged me, !"
DR. Cherrington said, "The limitiess op
portunities in connection with the problem
in rural fields, in congested city centers,
on the frontier, among the foreign-lang-
uage groups in America, and in the Wes-
ley Foundation enterprises at the great ed
vocational institutions, have thrilled me.

CHERRINCTON REMAINS IN TEMPERANCE REFORM
Notifies Bishops Methodist Episcopal Church He Must Decline Election
Present Crucial Time and Moment
of Gigantic Educational Opportunities in Dry Crusade

The opportunity presented for interde-
nominational contacts as Christianity
moves toward common tasks and pur-
poses, as we'll as the inter-racial and in
ternational implications involved in the
immediate Home Mission task, has fired
my imagination.
"For a month since my election to this
important church Office l have been fac
ing a most difficult problem of decision.
The Methodist Episcopal church has
within its gift no higher official position
for a layman and no more important
work than that of the secretaryship of the
Board of Home Missions and Church Ex-
tension. This position, so graciously Of
fered by the church through the board of
bishops, has very strongly appealed to me.
But l have been compelled to con-
slider other direct and implied obligations.
For more than quarter of century my
life and efforts have been given to the
temperance reform movement, with spe-
cial concern for the educational phases of
that movement Both in America and in
the world at large, the present is not only
The American issue. [volume] (Westerville, Ohio) 1912-19??, 1927-01-01

crucial period in this great reform, bit
also time OF strategic opportunity for
the carrying forward Of a gigantic educa-
tional and sentiment-building program.
Two Important Fields
so large and highly important are
both these fields OF endeavor that each of
them calls for all the strength, energy
and conservation that any one man can
give | could not hope to fill both posi-
tons. Hence, | have reluctantly declined
election TO this important church office,
believing that should remain in the work
in which l have been so long engaged"
DIR. Cherrington was chosen to the
church post by the board of bishops meet
ing at Syracuse, n Y, November 10,
shorte1y after the sudden death of Rev.
David d. Forsythe, d. D., for many years
secretary of the Home Board. He had
been in no sense a candidate, and the bish-
ops, without his knowledge elected him
on their first official vote, which was
written secret ballot, and the choice was
unanimous. Oldest members of the board
OF bishops declare lIldl WdS lllC III 81 liliiS
in their recollection that any person was
elected by unanimous secret ballot. Also,
it was the first time in the history OF the
church that a layman was chosen as the
chief executive of the Board of Home Mis-
sions and Church Extension.
DIR. Cherrington, besides being general
secretary of the World League Against
Alcoholism, is general manager Of the
publishing interests of the Anti-Saloon
League of America secretary OF the
Leagues executive committee; general ed
itor of the League publications, and other
wise connected with its officiary. Also, he
is president of the Scientific Temperance
Federation, chairman of the executive
committee of the Intercollegiate Prohibi-
ton Association, and an officer in several
other temperance organizations. He has
held important commissions for the gen.
eral conference OF the Methodist Episcopal
church.

PROHIBITION IN The SCHOOLS

hibition education should be furthered in
all schools. colleges and theological SEM
inaries OF the nation.
The Transcript feels that making pro-
hibiiion a part of the school eurrieula
will be bitterly resented by intelligent
educators and thoughtful citizens. 1t
smacks too much OF religion in the
schools" etc This is strange American
doctrinei Prohibition is part of the con-
stitution OF the United States. What harm
can come from teaching principles which
the Constitution cmbodies? Certainly
good government is furthered and upheld
by advocating adherence to every part of
the Constitution. We fail to see any con-
nection between the teaching of funda-
nlentals and religious instruction in the
schols.
The Transcript admits that "as mat
ter of physiology it is good business TO
teach the pathological conditions which
follow the indulgence in alcohol" Mani
testify. The statutes of the state provide
expressly for such teaching. Illinois has a
ing of the effects of alcohol on the human
system in the public schools ON three days
each week throughout the entire school
year.
The editorial continues: amy attempt,
however to teach the doctrine of prohi-
biton as moral matter has and will be
resented by clear thinking parents. In
struction in private and public morals is
primarily matter for home brewing.
When attempted in the schools it takes on
the character of impertinence and the as
pect OF danger"
We rather imagine that it was difficult
for the readers OF the Transcript to fol-
low the fine distinction which the editor
tries to make on where the physiological
phase of this question leaves off and the
moral phase begins.
The modern texts used in the public
schools-indeed the books which the
school authorities are using in this state
in carrying out the law above referred to
show, as common sense would dictate,
that the physiological and moral phases
of the liquor problem are inseparable
All regulatory and prohibtory liquor
laws are primarily based upon the effect
of liquor upon the public health and pub
lie morals. In fact, these effects are the
very basis of the unanimous decisions of
the courts in declaring prohibition laws
constitutional and right.
One of the first purposes of government
as stated in the preamble to the Federal
Constitution is, ito promote the general
welfare" The public welfare is promoted
by the advancement of public morals. The
controversy over the liquor traffic runs
the whole gamut of government interests
social, economic and patriotic Why not
teach the fundamental truth that anything
which destroys public morals is a traitor
10 the state?
We can conceive of no interest which
would be served by stopping short of
the whole truth in teaching the youth of
the nation the effects of liquor drinking,
except the gang that would bring that
traffic back. J. H.. c.
