Declaring that there was ten times more money spent for liquor last year in America, about 6 bil- lion dollars worth, than was con- trlbuted to all the churches of all faiths, about 600 million worth, Rev. Wayne w. Womer secretary of the United Temperance Society of Con- necticut told members of the Bunk CT Hill Congregational church in his sermon of yesterday morning that alcoholism In the individual must be looked upon aR Q disease rather than @ moral problem.
 The speaker scored the liquor laws of Connecticut condemning what he termed was their liberality and rec- commended that future legislation to promote sobriety be left to local op- tion rather than controlled by na- tional prohibition.
 There are four reasons behind iil- kbriacy, the speaker stated, namely, personal problems besetting the in- dividual, peychotic tensions, feeble nindnoss and insanity, the latter two tho least prevalent of all.
