TOO GOOD TEMPLARS !
QUEEN AND PRINCE REBUKED
[BY CABLE —PRESS ASSN. —COPYRIGHT.]
LONDON, May 5
The Scottish Grand Lodge of Good Templars have solemnly censured the Queen and Prince George for visiting two model public houses in the London district, one of which is run by a clergyman, and has been blessed by the Archbishop of Canterbury. The Lodge’s resolution regrets ‘‘that Prince George visited a so-called public house, stood behind the bar and shook hands with regular customers of the house, thereby countenancing what his Royal relative Prince Leopold, declared to be the only enemy that England had to fear. The Grand Lodge regrets this all the more fis the Queen recently visited another public house in the same district.”
Many people and prominent clergymen of the district have declared .that no cause had suffered more from exaggerated advocacy, unbridled language, misplaced enthusiasm and lack of Christian charity than that of the temperance folk.
