PICK HOPS TO MAKE BEER Should Professed Followers of Jesus Christ Indulge Broad Subject Well Handled. "Hop Growing and Picking, or Should Professed Followers of Jesus Christ Indulge." "It is not my mission tonight to antagonize or to heap scathing de nunciation upon those who for recrea tion or remuneration frequent the hop yards (luring the picking season. It Is, however, my mission if I am a faithful minister of Christ's Gospel to awaken conscience regarding every questionable practice jn which the followers of the Lord Jesus may be engaged. Since there is some doubt regarding the question of hop-picking in Christian's minds, it is proper and expedient that the subject be dis cussed from the pulpit. "There Is one thing I want you to note carefully tonight, namely: That my subject, although broad as the earth, is a narrow one for us, It is limited to a certain few, it is not the wholesale condemnation of hop-picking by every one, although I believe that should be done, the subject nar rows down to this one point, namely: Is it the right thing, the proper thing, the Godly thing for the professed fol lowers of Jesus Christ to be engaged In that kind of business? "Now, I have a confession to make right here, namely: I am treading upon dangerous ground in handling such a subject in an Oregon town, There is the possibility that some may be mortally offended at what may be said, in fact, quite a few have said tcime, how dare you- talk about hop picking when so many of your own people frequent the hop yards during the picking season? Aren't you afraid of losing your job? I have invariably answered, no, I preach to a people who have common sense and who exercise Christian courtesy and who would ask for my resignation if I did not preach against the practice if my conscience told me it was wrong. So I am not afraid of losing my job. "I will say, however, friends, that I would not dare to preach upon a subject such as this, had I not some light to throw upon it from the word of God and so in order to fortify my self and believing that God's word would not return unto Him void, I have chosen two verses of scripture to yoke up with the subject, namely: II Cor. C:16: 'Ye are the temple of the living God,' and I Thes. 5:22, .'Abstain from all appearance of evil.' - "With these verses from the Chris tian's guide to right conduct to throw light upon our subject, the Whole question for discussion this evening looks something like this: If our bod ies are the temples, the abiding place of God, if God lives in us, can we as Christians afford to use these hands which are part of God's temple to picls hops, 95 per cent, of which are made into beer, and beer when man indulge Incapacitates them in every part of life? "It is my purpose to so present this matter that when I get through with it all of you will say I am through for ever with the hop business and so I must proceed cautiously and careful '-y. "The first noint then that we must consider is this: That the present state of conscience regarding beer drinking and beer making is reached by the process of evolution. Con science against the slave traffic was not reached in a moment of time.

It takes time to awak en a slumbering conscience regarding nnv niinuttnn hilt wlipn It Is arOUSed. then, it is quickened into action. We have come to such a time regarding the hop business. "Why Is it so awfully bad? I'll toll you, it is part of the process which produces the finished product which makes men drunk and since Chris tians ought not share in that kind f business, they ought to quit it, and they ought in the spirit of the Apostle i'itnl say: 'If hop-picking makes my brother to offend, I will pick no more hops as long as 95 per cent, of them are made Into beer.' What brings you and me to that kind of a conclusion? Simply this, an awakened conscience as it has regarded the evils of beer mak ing and drinking of which hop-picking is a part. "I grant you that way back in the past beer drinking was not regarded as such a bad thing, but there Is a change of view on the question and the awakened and aroused conscience of the year of our Lord 1908, says that good folks ought to have nothing to do with the business. Why, do you ask? Because Christians are the tem ples of the Holy Ghost and they ought to avoid even the appearance of evil and because of the stirring appeal which comes from drink ridden hu manity. "There was a time when slavery was considered a right and proper thing, there was a time when a keg of beer was on tap under the pulpii of the meeting house, and it was part of the graduation exercises of the ttu dents who appeared in that meeting house for their diplomas to take a drink. If these things were correct and proper in the past why not nqw? Why were they abolished? I'll tell you, because a quickened, up-to-date conscience will not stand for them. If then, there is conscience against hop picking today, it is because of a grow ing progressive Christian conscience. "Let us now look at the status of the hop growing and hop picking busi ness. What are the facts? If it is a brewing interest, what Is the Chrls tian's duty? You' know as well as I do that 95 per cent, of the hops of the land are made into beer. Ah, Chris tian hop-picker! you try to console yourself with the fact that you gather ed that other 5 per cent of hops which was made into yeast, when you know yourself that with the members of the church crowding the hop-fields that all of you helped to pick the bulk of the 95 per cent. Brother, sister in Christ, listen, your hands which are part of God's temple picked a large proportion of the hops which the brewers translated into beer, which beer found its way into a human sys tem and brain, and that brain and system were crazed and paralyzed and that the man who drank the beer made out of the hops you picked, knocked down a helpless wife and mother and starved some innocent children. I ask earnestly, ought this body which is the temple of God be used in this work when the strong exhortation of the apostle is to avoid even the appearance of evil. "The fact that the hop business is a brewery interest is self-evident. On January 22nd, 1908, the Brewing in dustries notified the hop men that they must help fight the liquor regu lation bills,' which the people are clam oring to have placed on the statute books, and that those who fail to sign the petition will be placed under the ban of the buyers, namely the Brew ers. Here was their effective threat, we, the buyers of hops, will boycott you and immediately 1,500 telegrams flooded the office of the Brewers As sociation protesting- against liquor legislation. These telegrams were bundled up sent by express to Sena tor Fulton at Washington, D. C, to be used by him as an evidence that his constituents were opposed. The hop business is a Brewery interest and Christians -OHght not indulge. "Here are some of the reasons why people frequent the hop yards. So many nice families go together and thus have an outing which they could not otherwise have. So many Chris than people frequent the yards, even the deacons and the good praying sis ters go. It gives the laboring man a way of spending a much needed va cation. Fifty weeks of the year in the shop no one ought to deny him two weeks under God's open heaven and lastly, most people go because in the end there is a replenished pocket book with the possibility of meeting the payment of all bills. Are these reasons valid for the followers of Jesus Christ whose body is the temple of the Holy Ghost and who is urged to avoid the appearance of evil? Are they valid in view of the fact that there is no doubt but that Christians have picked a large proportion of the 95 per cent of the hops of which beer was made and in view of the fact that the hop men are the tools of the Brewing interest? Let the temple of the living God decide. "If the appeal from God's word is not sufficient, then I bring with it the appeal which comes from drink-ridden suffering humanity. Listen, it is my purpose to crystalize conscience into action, regarding this business and it my scriptural appeal does not avail may the human cry of heart-broken mothers and wives and children reach your deaf ears and hard hearts. Right here, in Oregon City, in yonder court house the other day, the evidence was given that a Hindu lost his life be cause men were crazed by beer. A father and son were found guilty of murder in the second degree, another son and two young men of manslaugh ter. My God! Men and women, does not the mute appeal of these five blighted lives reach your ears as they await sentence. Beer did it, is their testimony. I claim that the man who. picked the hops out of which the beer was made which crazed the brains of these unfortunates is as guilty of the murder of the Hindu as they are. Le gal technicality may be able to clear the Christian hop picker from this charge but God's moral law will hold him guilty. "Here Is a poor woman who. is un fortunately afflicted with a drunken husband. God pity her. Last night, he came home crazed by beer made from the hops you picked, he knocked her down, his helpless wife, ho brut ally kicked her In the presence of his screaming children and abused her in every way. Ah, you say this Is a fairy tale of preacher's fancy and por trayal. Is it? You are now touching elbows with some who have received this treatment. If you caught the brute in the act you would knock him down, but yet, this summer you will com placently plan a vacation in the hop yards and be a helper in the produc tion of the product which makes this brute. Where is your humanity and conscience? Have these dropped out of you? You blame the saloon keep er, who needs the money, for selling this man beer, but how about your selves as beer producers in the hop yards? "But here is the saddest thing' in connection with this story of cruelty. This very woman suffering from this husband's brutality, scarred and bruis ed by his assaults, when the hop pick ing season comes finds the wolf howl ing at her door, she feels the bitter pinch of poverty and realizing a chance for making some ready money, or easy money, she gathers up her poverty pinched boy and girl and hires out to a conscienceless hop man to enrich him, to enrich the Brewer, who will make more beer for her husband to drink and thus receive from his hands still more inhuman treatment. "Christian men and women, for the sake of this poor, mistreated, misguid ed creature of misfortune, who is not a Christian, who does not see the moral issue involved, as you hear her mute appeal from her helpless life, won't you stop contributing your quo ta of misery by helping in Beer pro duction as Hop Pickers? "Ye are the temple of the living God, let nothing defile this temple. Avoid even the appearance of evil. Oh! Llisten-,to the human cry of broken hearts and quit being a part of the Brewery interest. "A drunkard cannot enter Into the Kingdom of Heaven. Don't in God's narfe help in making drunkards. "It is my duty as your under-shep-herd to lay this matter upon your heart and conscience. I have done so. May God help you to see your duty." WAR DECLARED. Who Will Enlist In This Popular Movement? War has been declared by our lead ing druggists.
