All meetings 8 o'clock. 6976 DOR 4 BALLANTYNE, PRESIDENT, and other Members of W.C.T.U. have called upon the Electors iv the Nanu of OHBIST to strike out the top line in the licensi ballot-paper. The arguments used in favour of this recom mendation are that people in this fair provinc< are being EUINED by Drink, and that by depriv ing them of the right to drink, that sunshine nnd hope will be brought to our darkened homes. Now, as CHEIS T HIMSELF used his Miraculous Power to Provide People With WINE IT IS OBVIOUSLY WEONG To use HH NAME to Promote Prohibition. The contention that the people in this fail province are being ruined by drink IS ABSOLUTELY WILD, AND A SCANDALOUS ATTACK UPON OUE PEOPLE, WHO AEE THE SOBEREST IN THE WOBLD, To say that sunshine and hope would come with prohibition is to state that which has been DISPEOVED IN EVEEY PAET OF T&E WOELD WHEEE PROHIBITION HAS BEEN TRIED. Statistics prove that vice, innanity, pauperism and commercial decay invariably follow tho introduction of prohibition. This being the case THE PUBLIC AHE INVITED TO JUDGE THIS SUBJECT FAIBLY, AKD TO UPHOLD THEIB PERSONAL AND CONSTITUTIONAL LIBEETIES BY STRIKING OUT THE TWO LOWEE LINES On the License Ballot-Paper. F 6949 " The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light; they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them hath the light sinned." — Isaiah ix, 2. To the WOMEN ELECTOES op CANTEBBUBY 1 . ON hundreds of Homes in this fair Province there rests A DEEAD SHADOW because of the temptations offered by the traffic in strong drink. Hitherto we have had to stand helplessly by watching with aching hearts the awful shadow deepening into the gloom of despair and death. Tbat time of helplessness is now past. ON FRIDAY NEXT we shall have an opportunity of bringing SUNSHINE AND HOPE to these darkened homes by voting out the liquor traffic. May we not nsk in the name of Christ, who spared not Himself, that you will use your vote for the relief of the troubled and tempted, and STRIKE OUT THE TOP LINE ON THE LICENSE BALLOT PAPEE.
