NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
The Church and the Saloon 
Rey. A. G. Warner sounded the 
first note of public discussion in con- 
nection with the coming town elec- 
tion in Manchester, last Sunday eve- 
ning at the Baptist church. His 
subject was: ‘‘The Church and the 
Saloon.’’ 
Among other things he = said: 
There is a great issue between the 
church and the saloon; the saloon 
with all its separate, able represen- 
tatives and the church with all the 
benevolent representatives and _ its 
work of reform; the saloon repre- 
senting all that is destructive in 
life, the church representing all that 
is good in life. The church does not 
dare to dodge the great issue of the 
church and the saloon. We do find 
yery often that people do not ree- 
ognize the issue of the saloon with 
the ehurech, but statistics show that 
where temperance work has been 
carried on that two-thirds of the 
people attended church, and in 
places where intemperance is in con- 
trol, but one-third of the population 
ever attend services to God. In 
dealing with this issue, we find that 
there are three classes of people, 
the church regulars, the saloon reg- 
lars and the middle class, or the 
people who are styled as the mod- 
erate men, The church is the cham- 
pion against the saloon because the 
chureh is the institution of morality. 
She does not ask for truce, for the 
chureh can rise against the saloon 
and destroy it. The saloon would 
do the same to the chureh if it 
could, but it cannot, therefore there 
can be no compromise. The church 
and the saloon, therefore, are issues 
of the greatest importance and are 
issues for the destroying of homes 
and other institutions, or the mak- 
ing of the same. 
Mr. Warner will speak Sunday 
evening on ‘‘The Workingman and 
the Saloon.’’
