CAN A CHRISTIAN VOTE WET
"Dost thou renounce the devil
BBd sll his works, and all his
wayb?" Answer: "Yes I renounce." "Dost thou promise ss s
member of ths church to remain
faithful to ita teachings snd to be
diligent in the aaa of the means vof
Grace?" Answer: "Yes by the
help of God."
Every man or woman who has
ever joined a church in Bellwood,
Or any other place have heard the
above questions' and given the
above answers. The questions and
answers may be worded differently
in the different denominations, but
all carry the same meaning.
Now is this question of liquor
the works of the devil, or of Godl?
We sll know too well that it is not
of God, therefore must be ef the
devil. We have pledged ourselves
as Christians to renounce the devil
coming -lection the christian people
will sbov thst we are not going to
permit ;his degrading business in
our cohmunity.
Let is consider some of the plain
teaching at the Bible in this question. "Wee unto him that giveth
his neighbor drink, that pattest thy
bottle to him" (Hab. 2:15) "Know
ye nt that drunkards shall not
inhetrt the kingdom of. God?" (Cor
6:9-0) . If the drunkard csnnot
inhcit the/ kingdom of God' where
mur he go? There is only one
pise, namely "Hell" Are you
wi'ing to vote for a business thst
my be instrumental in sending
ynr boy or girl or even your own
sul to hell.
The most tragic fact on earth hi
in snd its oonsetqemces. The most
einious of sins is one of degrading
r.e's fellowman. Jesus said, in
■peaking     of     the  inviolability     of
and all his works sad sll his ways. Soman .personality, "Whoso shall
Thereore ss Christians we cannot offend one of these—it were better
favor the liquor business in    Bell-far bim that a milestone were hang-
wood; Antis township, or any other
place.    We must vote against it.
It may be true that a few hand
red dollars is coming into the boro
ugh and Antis] township treasure!
because of the license saloon. Bu;
what about our {-joys and girls, me**
and women who are being led
away from God and His church because of this degrading business?
Of course we are told that it is incorrect to call tbem saloons in this
day. But we also know that s
skunk smells just as sweet when
you call him a pale cat. . Ths
changing the name does not change
the place. They still sell liquor.
Bellwood and Antis Township have
no need for this kind of business
regardless of what we might call
them.
Some of oar good Ifriends tell us
that these fellows who want liquor
wll go where they can get it and we
may as well permit it to be sold' in
:or community snd get a few dollars
tax  money  while getting  is    good.
Also it gives some of our citizens
something to do, even if it la
handing over the counter the beer
glasses filled to the brim ta aome
)pooT victim of the -Male curse, snd
thus hasten his soul on the way to
a place aot made for men.
It is ear prayer tbat -after   tha
ed about his neck and that he were
drowned in the depths of the sea"
(Matt.  18:6)
Giving men liquor is a sure way
to degrade them. Drinking is bad,
but giving booze to another is a sin
of yet deeper dye. Ne christian
who has any serious respect for the
Word of God can by his vote authorize our community, state ot
nation to sell intoxicating liquor. If
yon vote to favor of beer, you
rote to give your neighbor the intoxicating cup which is sure to degrade him, not saying what will
happen to you, A vote dry will
be in harmony with th* plain teaching of the Bible and the maintenance of self respect of the voter.
Thus friends ss Christians we
must vote against this devlish business and the place to begin is at
home in front of your own door.
May we count on you to vote dry
st this coming election.
