l IS THE W C T U

WORTH WHILERev C C Carroll preached a most

eloquent sermon Sunday night on Isk w the W C T U Worth While He4t read for his text the 31st chapter of

° r Psalms preaching from the last verser of the chapter Read It and It will

help you to conceive of the splendidr sermon he preached from it To the

question he said yesHe told of the conditions that led

up to Its formation and how rum andk tobacco In the early history of the

nation played an important part HowH Baxter College had been largely sus ¬

tained by money received from thissource In Its early history That dayhas passed and the public no longerlooks at the business as it did fifty

=ire or sixty years ago He spoke of theslave traffic and how every gallon ofrum purchased a slave and what anIniquity it proved-

He referred to the whisky insurrec-tion

¬

In western Pennsylvania becauses men were not permitted to drink itwithout being taxed for the privilege-All of which went to show the lenien-cy

¬

and Indifference with which thepeople thought about the traffic How-In those days it was no seeming dis-grace

¬tY to get drunk everybody had

I the liquid on the sideboard If peo ¬

ple did this it was passed on as an-

other occurrence of minor momentBut as the habit grew and Its rav-

ages¬

began to devastate society ruin7 livesand wreck homes those who felt

its most crushing effectsthe wom-en

¬

began to protest and It came inthe form of a request to the saloonmen t>r whisky sellers not to sell their

1

husbands and sons but this pleading-fell on deaf ears

4 The whisky evil grew until the bit-ter

¬

sufferers shrieked out their pro ¬

4 test into the public ear They organiz-ed

¬

and from their united labors hascome a great revolution and better ¬

ment of the conditions that surround-and protect the sanclty of the homeFrom that protest and cry for reliefhas come the restraint and regula ¬

tion of the last twentyfive years antiis growing at1 a rate that has com ¬

pelled the makers and sellers of whis-ky

¬

to sit up and take notice Thatthe monster evil the greatest andworst for the demoralization and de ¬

struction of society that the worldknow be banished from the

u landnd would bo ascertain as he-x was Speaking Ho could nojt tell the

t tlmei might rH>tbe Iri nlsSday butthe time was coming all the same andthe liquor men and the manner inwhich they had conducted the business was directly responsible for this

I great contest J vt

He said there was no use givingr arguments for its suppression the

world knew them and they were un ¬

ear answerable no matter what sophistry-and lies had been told to bolster abad cause

He paid the W C T U a glowingtribute for the work it had done andin the kindly manner in which thegood women did it with love in theirheorts for the cause of humanity not

s only for the stay of the liquor trafficbut in other lines of uplift usefulness-and benefaction-

In closing Rev Carroll said Ifyou believe and approve of what Ihave said tell It to your neighbors

t if you dont approve of what T saidt come to me He was pleased to

know j that temperance sentiment Inhis church had grown was muchstronger and more aggressive than Itwas a few years ago His sermon

M produced a small temperance revivalright then and there
