Questionable Alliance.

By Editor

IN a recent lecture in Chickering Hall, New York, Mr. Joseph Cook expressed the hope that the rising prohibition party would make a stand for the thorough Christianization of our whole national life. We have no doubt that the prohibition party is destined to prostitute itself to serve the ends of the "National Reform" Association. And this very thing will have the effect of preventing thousands of good temperance people and earnest prohibitionists from acting with the prohibition party. Thus the gaining of entire prohibition will be delayed until chains can be forged with which to bind consciences, and then a righteous measure will be made a means of carrying an unholy and tyrannical one.
