(Published by Arrangement.) THE LAW OF THE IRON ROD. MINISTERS' PROTEST. Here is an extract from "The Ministers' Monthly" for September, 1923. It will be interesting to see how the professional Prohibitionists try to dam this particular outlet of truth: — " This paper is unalterably and absolutely opposed to anything that God in Heaven would call evil. But it has never been able to make itself believe that a drink of good pure claret or a glass of good cool beer were objects of divine wrath." New Zealand should be warned in time. This Prohibition sham cannot be perpetrated without the help of force. Tactics of the mailed fist will always end in self-destruction, whether that fist- belongs to individual autocrats of to feverish fanatics. The rule of the rod of iron will prove fatal to the sanctity of New Zealand's constitution.
