THE VOICE OF TEMPERANCE,
There is one way in which the men-
ace of the drink traffic can be over-
come. Let all church members ack-
nowledge that drinking is inconsistent
with their position as members of
the Christian churns. Let them act ac-
cordingly. It requires nothing more
than this ,that, all the membership of
the church take a firm stand against
the use of alcoholic beverages and
the inroads of the liquor traffic will
be checked, The temperance cause
haS a right to expect the support of
every church member, Drinking and
drunkenness are not part of the
chtistian way of life. Church member-
ship does demand certain standards
