METHODIST DRY LEADER ISSUES 0 BIG CHALLENGE fl)r. Wilson, in His Annual Report, Warns Against Plans of Wets. J *IT Is daily more apparent that I T I the Cristlan churches face 1 * I the imminence of a battle for the preservation of the Prohibition law," said Dr. Clarence True Wilson, Washington, D. C., corresponding secretary, Board of Temperance, Prohibition, and Public Morals in his report at the annual meeting of the World Service Commission of the Methodist Episcopal Church at Edgewater Beach Hotel, Chicago, Sunday afternoon. "Congressional representatives," continued Dr. Wilson, “of the liquor interests are becoming increasingly bold in their statements and activities; the country is flooded with vicious attacks upon the law and the very elect are being deceived. "It is unfortunately and alarmingly true that the opponents of the prohibition policy have almost complete control of the great metropolitan centers of population. These cities house the wealth of the land. They control the avenues of informa tion. They offer not only the serious expressions of opinions which affect the thoughtful and Informed. “A vast mass of propaganda trainst the law pours into the rovinces’ concealed in alleged humor, syndicated to newspapers which are editorially dry. in the words of popular songs; in the patter of stage comedians; in the words of fictional heroes. “It is a propaganda of suggestion which by its drip, drip wears away the stone of conviction and by im perceptible pulls and pushes shapes the opinions of adolescene and uninstructed maturity. "Church Cannot Change” “The position of the church cannot change. The only proper attitude of Christians toward the liquor traffic is one of uncompromising opposition. That traffic, whether dealing in whisky, wine or beer, and no matter what its form, is so pernicious in all its bearings, so inimical to the interests of honest trade, so repugnant to the moral sense, so injurious t& the homes, to the church and to the body politic, and sc utterly antagonistic to all that is precious in life, that the only proper attitude toward it for Christians is that of relentless hostility. It can never be legalized withdut sin. “A cry for fundamental education in regard to the liquor problem and law observance is heard in the land. The President of the United States has voiced it. Church leaders have added to its volume. “The false charge brought against Socrates was that he had corrupted the youth. American youth are being corrupted. Are we intervening Effectively in their behalf? * “When they are exhorted to look upon law defiance as a sport, can we safely neglect an appeal to their warm hearts and shifting opinions? Even the public school instruction in the physiological results of alcohol consumption, which gave us a generation of prohibitionists, to change the nation's Constitution seems to have ceased and the laws BLIZZARD STRIKES HOME Coughs and colds are a natural sequence to an unexpected blizzard, and should be treated promptly to offset complications. Foley’s Honey and Tar Compound ia a pleasant effective remedy for coughs and colds. Keep a bottle on hand for any emergency. “The children and I had colds and the- first does of Foley’s Honey and Tar helped us right away,” writes Mrs. Mather, Richwood, Ohio. Foley’s Honey and Tar is a good cough remedy for the whole family. It contains no opiates. —Advertisement. ' AUTOTOPS And Side Curtains Made and,repaired. Our*price is right.

which required this education in many States seem to have lapsed by common consent. Plan of Church "Our young people know little or nothing of the great social and economic objectives of the Prohibition policy and are in Ignorance of the blessings which have proceeded from the law’ because they have had no experience of the horrors of the licensed liquor traffic. - “The duties of the JJoard of Temperance, Prohibition and Public Morals of our church are clearly defined and are well known. We are, perhaps, carrying on more general educational than any similar agency. “We earnestly desire to serve the church adequately in this crisis. Our resources are pitifully small, but we feel that we’’must add an enlarged program of education within the church to our undertakings for 1926. “We want every Sunday School in the church to participate in an organized study of this question. A text-book of elective lessons on the liquor problem will be issued shortly by the Book Concern as a church school publication,” he" said.
