AMEN TO THE 

 DECISION OF 

 THE UNITED 

 BRE T H R E N. 

 ARE THE OTH- 

 ER DENOMINA- 

 TIONS READY 

 TO FOLLOW? 



Read the fol- 

 lowing, which 

 we clip from 

 the first page 

 of the Ameri- 

 can Issue for 

 July 5. Is it 

 too strong or 

 too severe? It 

 is taken from 

 the Bishop's 

 q u a d r ennial 

 address at the 

 General Con- 

 ference of 

 United Brethren, 



A FACTORY. 



What would our Town be like if Every Man Drank as much as the Liquor Dealers 

 would like to have Him Drink ? 



Dayton, Oliio, May, 1913. 



THE CURSE OF CURSES. 



We reiterate, with increased em- 

 phasis, our relentless opposition to the 

 liquor traffic. We hold that it can 

 not be legalized without sin. Its 

 only argument is an appeal to greed 

 and appetite. It is in collusion with 

 the white-slave traffic and other forms 

 of evil. Its fruits are cruelty, de- 

 bauchery, conspiracy, and murder. It 

 is the wholesale despoiler of the race, 

 and is "intoxicated with the blood of 

 the multiplied thousands it has slain." 

 As a rising flood it sweeps away life, 

 property, and fortune. It is in a 

 death-struggle for mastery in politics, 

 government, and society. The church 

 of God dare not yield an iota to its 

 murderous march against humanity. 

 It has no rightful place in our mod- 

 ern civilization. It is doomed. The 

 forces that oppose this gigantic evil 

 are in accord as never before. The 

 saloon must be driven out of busi- 

 ness. In the name of God, the church, 

 and humanity, let the next final step 

 be a nation-wide movement to outlaw 

 this traffic in a holy crusade for a 

 saloonless nation and liberated hu- 

 manity under a constitutional amend- 

 ment of national prohibition. 



THE FINISHED PRODUCT. 



TRUMBULL CO., 0., DRY, 



We clip the following from a 

 letter just received from Supt. 

 Wayne B. Wheeler : 



Trumbull Co. doubled her dry ma- 

 jority last Saturday. This was done 

 in spite of the fact that more than a 

 thousand voters had come into the 

 county since the last election, and 

 from Warren to Hubbard the valley
