Churches and the Liquor Traffic

By Editor

The Christian Herald, Disciple, commenting on a statement concerning the churches in Kentucky, says:—

"We have tried and tried, again and again, all in vain, to get a list of churches and names of members and official relations who are engaged in the liquor traffic. Temperance men are afraid to give them. . . . It would seem that the whisky element is strong enough in certain congregations to turn the others out."

We commend the spirit of the Herald in rebuking the sin in those churches, but what a condition is indicated of this only true "Church of Christ"! If the "sects" were in the same state, what would become of the world?
