A CORRESPONDENT'S DILEMMA.
By Rev. Thomas B. - Gregory
, HE following letter would seeni
I to call for an answer:
-;New,Yorkf March 24, 1904.
"I work-down town and have three
classes of friends: ;
."First Men who seem to be right
in every particular honest, truthful,
-will do any one a favor; but they never
i; go to church p - " - -:
i "Second Men who are exactly like
the above, except they never go to
Jchurch and use "profane language.
1 - "Third Men who ' have recently
rcome from the country. Before com
ing here; they always went to church
regularly every Sunday ; now , ihey
never go. They Smoke a little drinic
,'a little, and are just bad enough not to
. s be classed '"gpod.:"T -'17'. :'rx'', """7
"Can you state through The Journal
what verses in the Bible could be used
to wake up these men ? What parts of
the Bible are good to read to a man
who is good in every way except re
ligious? "The country is full of such men.
Everywhere. I go I meet them. They
are good, honest, true; but the minute
"you begin to. talk religion they wave
you away. CORRESPONDENT." -r
Consciously or unconsciously, "Cor
respondent" has opened up a pretty
wide field for thought ; but down at the
bottom truth is simple, and I will en
deavor to the best of my ability to help
him out bf his difficulty,
t :- Let us begin at the beginning and :
proceed slowly and carefully, and,' I
must riot forget to add, reverently, k,
The first class of young men referred
to are admittedly "right in every par
ticular," honesty truthful," and always
disposed; to help others and the only
thing that can be said against them
from the viewpoint of "Correspondent"
is the fact that theyvdo not go to
church.
- "Correspondent" asks for a verse of
Scripture that will apply to these young
men, and I give it to him: "And he
came' to Nazareth, where he had been
brought up, and, as his custom was,
he went into the synagogue on the
Sabbath day, and stood up for to read."
-rLuke iv:16. ' v.. .. i .:
The point of this Scripture, is that,
perfect as Jesus was, he nevertheless
felt the necessity of the spiritual upg !
lift that is born of worship. -
. .The young men in question may be
very noble, but certainly; they are no
liobrer than the Master was, "and if he
felt the need of the Sabbath fseryice,r
surely they cannot well affdrd Wig- ;
nore it. ..'''"- '':',- -
- It is .true that the church is a' means
rather than an 1 end the means of a
noble manhood arid wdmanhood ; but f
teven the grandest character is hot be--yorid
the necessity of keeping in touch
with the infinite. ' - "v
Against those of the-second class..
there is something to be said. Profane
swearing is not one of the major vices,
. but still it is a vice. It may hot be so
'disgusting to hear an honest man
swear as it is to hear a hypocrite :jray ,
but it remains perfectly true that the
honest man is norie&the better for his
profanity. . ; - . :
t Swearing is unrefined; ungentleman
ly, vulgar, and- degrading,', and- those
who are given' to the habit might very
profitably be referred; to. the words,
"Swear not at all." Matthew v:34. ;
Coming now to the third class men
tioned by "Correspondent," we find,
that we have a real case against them.
They are not downright bad. . They
are not criminals.' They are, as "Cor
respondent" puts it. "iust bad enough
not to be xalled good, which Js. only -
another way of saying that they are
pretty nice young gentlemen not per
fect, of course but a long, long way
from being real badv - 1 -
But when a young' man begins to'
tlfink, there is no telling where lie may
bring up. The young men in this class,
so "Correspondent" says, ""drink a lit
tle." -That sounds very innocent -And -t
it is innocent if it stops right there.
But thousands' of the wisest and best
hearted men in the world know, to their
shame and sorrow, that there is no as
surance that it will stop there. , '
It is to be hoped that by the help of
the Scripture here given 'Correspond
ent" may succeed in "waking up" the
profane swearers to a sense of decency, '
in arousing within the hiinds of those
whoijdrink a little" a realization of the
dancrer of their - seemincrly innocent
habit; and in convincing ther. excel! .t .
young men who "never go to church'
that they would be nonte the less exc 1-.
lent if they should go occasion!i
"into the house of the Lord." ..
LOCAL OPTION BY STATE, JL-AWS
- ' Orahara Taylor in Chicago News.
"' On the . liquor question, aa in every-
Thlng eiaa in America, we must reckon
' on the . poople having their own way
. ' nooner or later. That la the rule under
which we have been playing the great
; ' game Of our national life ever aince we
began It with the declaration of inde
s Jen!enc. The only restriction upon
',. th freest choice of the people la im-
, posed by our atate and national con
stitutions and our city charters.. These
provide only for delay enough to aa
r . i, .! ure deliberation in making changes
" which might otherwise be so sudden
' and sweeping as to defeat the people's
sober second thought and thus make
every thing insecure. But there is pro
lyl, vision in every one of them to amend
- or annul and to make new rules when
- . we are sure we do not like the old
one. The majority of our people sooner

- they really want It enough to work and

Either side which refuses or. even
objects to playing under the local option-,
ruk thereby gives away Its lack
of confidence In Its own cause or Its
strength to make it win. Sooner or
later the people wiU have their . way
about liquor selling.- If there are
enough of them who want leas or none
of it, they have every right to 'have
it as they want it. If the liquor sell
ers or drinkers want more license or
liberty to do as they please, they only
have to muke good the claim to a ma
jority vote at the polls. So there is
no use whining about the loss of per
sonal liberty. Let each respond good
naturedly to ' the call for the "tug 6f
watfi and pull the other over to his
side of the deciding line If he can.
The side that fails must simply own up
that it was weaker, and the other
stronger, and must go on playing under
the other's rule until It Is strong enough
to change. . . .
While there is a Very small propor
tion of people in any community who
are or can afford to be indifferent to
this issue on its merits, other local
interesjts should make many dtlnem of
unioago nave- a decided preference be
tween the two ways In which it, is pro
posed tb give tha right of local option
to an our people,1 There Is a, well de
fined- end far i advanced 1 movement
throughout Illinois to enact a state
lOcal option law, which would give each
voting precinct the liberty to retain or
banish the llquor-Jlcensed saloon. There
Is another attempt to secure by Petition
and aldermanlo elections a city ordin
ance providing .. for local .option by
wards. The only - alternative to these
local option,. measures is to let ; the
present policy 'alone,, except as It can
be more .strictly enforced. .- With-; It
there Is increasing dissatisfaction, how-
pavei. There are not a few who have
a far stricter Idea of the community
control of tho liquor trad:- There, Is
a, far larger and ever increasing body
-ef'Citlsens who trace the alarming in
security of life and property to the
inadequate legal restriction of the aa
loon or the slack enforcement of thi
existing law regulating them, ' '
Before , very long Chlcao"1l bdund
to fee a choice between these two
measure for local option. They should,
therefore, be widely s and frankly dis
cussed. 8hould. either of these , ways
be.chopon? The principle Of local op
tion seems desirable for these reasons:
It lands and leaves the issue where it
belongs under free government with
the people themselves; it brings the is
sue home to each locality in such a way
as to educate the intelligence, conscience
and self-oontrol of every man. . woman
and child; it also lodges with the people
whq vote for It the responsibility .for
the effects of a . saloon. There is a
question as to how large or small the
voting eonstltuency-ahould be to whlch
the option for the locality should be
left jlf it la too small the ; rear ntl
ment of. the people most Involved or .
Interested may. not be able to fairly
represent Itself. If U Is too large any I
change may be impossible. - There la,
too, the danger of ' gerrymandering, or
"ehoestrlnglng" the boundaries at every
legally recurring redisricting.
Against' the city ordinance granting
local option by wards these .serious ob
jections are to be urged: It would, not
be at all likely to paas the council; Jf
It did, it would be almost sure to ohange
the .character of the next council to be
elected and thus prepare tho way for Us

hopelessly involved. The immense gain
