THE WOMEN HAVE A RIGHT
INTERESTED.

This election is one in which there
is no element of politics ; this i evi
denced by the fact that the wiaest
leaders and best men of both politi
cal parties hare ran up a flag of
truce on the field and joined hands
to liberate the wives, daughters.
mothers and sisters from the galling
bonds that shackle the home on ac
count of the. liquor traffic and to
banish the temptation from the
vouth of the land upon whom will be
made greater demands tnan upon

thing about him: he is never a man
who has shown any marked devotion
to his church or its work. You take
your own observation to prove this
proposition. Are the "wet Chris
tians of your acquaintance men who
devote much time to working at the
business? Are they not in every in
stance men who go to church when
they feel like it, and who think we
would better look after the heathen
at home before sending our money,
to helD those across the sea? Did
you ever know a "wet" Christian
to pay $25 to his pastor s salary. W e
never did. But on the other hand
the leaders of the prohibition forces
in our churches are also the leaders
of our prayer-meetings, the foremost
figures in our Sunday-schools and
missionary societies and the pillars
in all the work of our churches, u
a "wet" man can really vote for
liauor and keep his conscience, why
is he invariably a laggard and a dead
weight in the work of the church?
To be perfectly frank, we do not
believe a member of the church who
has the love of the Lord and his
follow-men in his heart can espouse
the liquor side of this great question
that confronts us. And for this
reason we have much more respect
for a "wet" man who makes noj
pretensions to religion than we have
for one who does. No man can serve
God and liquor at the same time.
They are exactly opposed to each
other and for this reason a liquor
meeting is never held on Sunday nor
opened with prayer. But if you
'wet" Christians are honest and
sincere, why in thename of j all rea
son, do you not carry your; religion
along with you when you attend
your anti-prohibition meetings? It
is true the Bible tells us that we
must not judge our brethren, but in
another nlace that a 1 tree is known
by its fruits, and it any reader oi
this paper can point us to a "wet"
church member who is aflame with
the missionary spirit liberal in his
gifts to the ' Lord's .caused devoted
and loyal to his church and deeply
concerned for the salvation of his
neighbors, we will give up the ques

as honest and patriotic as any people
