Saloons and Churches in Illinois

A TEMPERANCE speaker in Evanston recently said that one sin-cursed town in Illinois has 3,000 inhabitants, 800 children of school age, 30 saloons, and not one Protestant or Catholic Church spire. The forces of evil in this town pay $25,000 for the privilege of ruining souls, while the Christian church sends one young man to preach the gospel once a week, paying only his car fare.
