THE LORD'S PRAYER AND THE LIQUOR TRAFFIC.
“Our Father who art in heaven,” and then voting with tax and license parties to perpetuate the liquor traffic upon earth; thus aiding the powers of darkness; or, then voting to legalize the liquor traffic by tax or license, which causes God's name to be continually blasphemed; then voting that Satan's kingdom—the saloons—may continue if they will only pay the price which politicians have fixed upon them; then voting with and for liquor sellers to keep on under tax or license laws, which is the greatest hindrance to having God's will done on earth; “Give us this day our daily bread,” and then voting to legalize that which takes the bread from thousands of starving mothers and helpless children; “Lead us not into temptation,” then voting that the allurements and destruction of the saloons may go on under some form of tax or license; and then voting that the state and nation may continue the liquor evil, both at home and to heathen lands, providing they will only make the price of blood high enough in the form of tax or license. Can you, dear brother, do all the above and then heartily say, “AMEN.”—Selected.
