“If,” said the speaker, “the use of alcoholic beverage was right and Prohibition was wrong, then the Aitehbishop of .Ireland, Cardinals Manning; Mercier and Moran.

The fact of the matter * is the latter does not even, understand Prohibition, let alone Scripture teachings on it, when he says Prohibition forbids the possessing or partaking of liquor or wine.. No prohibition law in the. world here, in America, or anywhere does' C-ny such thing; it merely prohibits the manufacture for tale, transport or export of alcoholic drink. The speaker was accorded a hearty vote of thanks at the close of the meeting. , [Published by Arrangehient.']

PROHIBITION’S BIBLICAL PERVERSIONS EXPOSED (BY THOMAS S. KYNE.) GOOD Morning alii I had the unlaborious task on Saturday morning closing a_deliberato Biblical friend, I have sen tatj| day—publijf.

The however, are dedeep respect for Scripture; and it must to them that when the Prohibitionists wilfully distort and misrepresent the plain meaning of Biblical texts to suit their own ends the said Prohibitionists are a menace, to the religious and moral welfare of the communif-.

In regard .thereto thus states Mie pious “Phelem”: “He also Himself took the place. of a priest and, therefore, was forbidden to drink wine or strong.'drink as we saw in Lev.

Religion and Truth are evidently cast to the winds By the Prohibitionists ! They must serve their negative fallacy—and to do so, do not scruple to distort and misrepresent the Scriptures to gain their ends. “Phelem” ends his leaflet.: “Every word of God is pure—add thou not unto His words lest He reprove thee and thou be found a liar.—Prov. 150-56.” ■ ■ r ; “Phelem,” in the light of your own Biblical advice I would recommend you to examine your own conduct...
