HOP GROWING
AND PICKING
REV. J. M. LINDEN AT BAPTIST
CHURCH PREAChES TO BIG
CONGREGATION SUNDAY..
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.
From the ante-deluvian days when the
patriarch Noah lay beastly intoxicat
ed in the presence of his friends down

to the present, conscience regarding
the drinking evil has made progress,
and we are only now reaching the
sticking point. 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."

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never Suspect it.
Prevalence of Kidney Dlieiue.
Most people do not realize the alarm
ing increase and remarkable prevalency
oi Kianey disease.
While kidney dis
orders are the
most common
diseases that pre
vail, they are
almost the last
recognized by
patient and phy
sicians, who eon
tent themselves
with doctoring the efectt, while the orig
inal disease undermines the system.
What To Do.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy,
fulfills every wish in curing rheumatism,
pain in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder
and every part of the urinary passage.
It corrects inability to hold water
and scalding pain in passing it, or bad
effects following use of liquor, wine or
beer, and overcomes that unpleasant ne
cessity of being compelled to go often
during the day, and to get up many
times during the night. The mild and
the extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root
is soon realized. It stands the highest
for its wonderful cures of the most dis
tressing cases. If you need a medicine
you should have the best. Sold by drug
gists in fifty-cent and one-dollar sizes.
You may have a sample bottle and a
book that tells all fK"
about it, both sent free gSlwcSSXI.
