“i‘rohibitionr—Is It Wise or Foolish?"
“I am informed that it was reported
in one of our local papers that I was
tonight to preach a sermon in reply to
a sermon preached last Sunday on the
subject of prohibition. That is a mis
take. I have had no such reply it

But i do understand that such a ser-

of the prohibition law. Having some
convictions on the matter. and know-
