The Saloon An Unmitigated Curse
ITS FKIKNDS AND ITS KNKMIH8
Excerpts from two nnto clection si r
mons by Rev Father Onssidy dolivorod
November 22 and 29 1908 at St Marys
Cathedral Fall River Mass
And yt it has many riend this great
power which has corrupted the earth
It has likewise many valiant foes
The suppliers of the saloon and its
I roprietor surely are the foremost friends
of this king o oviIb and of them I have
spoken to you before Many of them
are good men worthy of aid and sympa
thy But thoie are many others that
are wholly bad The evil that they do
they do knowingly willing even eager
ly Such men when the day comes for
decision on this momentous moral ques
tion will endeavor to win their cause
by dishonest illegal and unfair actions
will attempt to debauch iln electorate
of the people They are the ones who
will debauch the city in the name of
rum
And then tbero comes the friend n the
siloou in thid particular case our pjiice
commission the oflicers appointed to t n
force the law against the conduct of thi
nefarious evil who allow the law to br
violated
Next in order as the friend of the
-Saloon is the man who thinks he kuowsn
littlo about the word of God He be
takes himself to a very strange pass for
a liquor dealer the searching of the
Scriptures He looks through the Scrip
tures and picks out a text in which the
word wine is mentioned and he endeavors
from that to draw justification for the
evil things we have today I have in
my band a little pamphlet which has
floated out of the headquarters of the
Liquor Dealers Association into my
possession and which will no doubt be
spread broadcast Wine and the Chris
tian Church Prohibition Not Warrant
ed By Holy and Honest nnd Eminent
Clergymen
How doaperato these men havo grown
when they look to the word of God for
a justification of tho saloon the recruit
ing station of bell They hear St Paul
telling Timothy to take u littlo wine for
his stomachs sake and they say the sa
loon ib all right and this should prove it
Just as though this had anything to do
with tho saloon They even forgot that
Timothy must have been a teetotaler
siuco ho needed St Pauls persuasion to
induce him to use a little wine They
alpo cited in their pamphlet the miracle
of our Lord at Cann turning water into
wine They refer to the use of wine ac
tho last supper of tho churchs use of
wine at the holy sacrifice of tho mass
Just as though that had anything to do
with modern rumshop If 1 can do 80
without irreverence and disrespect I
would like to ask if they think our Lord
would havo turned water into whiskey
if He would have used rum at the last
supper or sanctioned tho use of brandy
or gin for the sacrifice of the mass
Can thoy find anything about these
liquor3 In the Scriptures And if they
quote from Scripture why not get away
long enough from the distractions of the
saloon to make a thorough search of the
sacred book Why not quote the first
verse of the twentieth chapter of the
Book of Proverbs Why not read from
the twent -third chapter of the same
book tho twenty ninth vbrse
And then they quote from eminent
clergymen both Catholic and Protest
ant in an attempt to prove prohibition
not necessary and an invasion of private
rights But even the priest of the
church the archbishops and teachers of
divinity must keep silent before the au
thoritative voice of the Church I read
to you from a decree promulgated by the
third plenary council of Baltimore not
not expressing a private view of any in
dividual or group of individuals but
enacting positive legislation for the
Church in America
It is not to be doubted that among
the evils which we in this country bit-

terly deplore is to be considered the
abure of intoxicating liquois Excess
of this sort is tho perpetual tinder and
tho prolific origin of misery Abject
ruin falls upon innumerable men and
nnd upon whole families and draws
headlong to eternal damnation myriads
of souls Love of religion aud the
fatherland imposes upon all Christians
the solemn duty of striving with all
their might to wipe out and uproot this
pestiferous evil
Finally we admonish our people who
are engaged in the sale of intoxicating
liquors that they should seriously con
sider with how many nnd how great dan
gers and wth what occasions of sin
their business although a legal one is
surrounded Let them select if they
may a more respectable way of earning
a living
Tho committee of the Liquor Dealers
Association ought to spread that broad
cast It is not the opinion of any one
man It is tho athoritativo voice of the
church in recommendiug legislation
Next as the friend of the saloon
comes the man who thinks of nothing
more to be desired in life than a reduc
tion in taxes who desires public im
provements and is unwilling to pay for
them himself preferring to see them
come from the profits of the saloon In
the discussion of this question in the
public press I have marveled at the fail
ure of men to grasp the gross immoral
ity if not criminality of such argu
ments Mark where these men stand
They say you must get money from the
saloons They never consider what are
its effects upon the lives and morals of
the people They care nothing about
whence the money comes provided it
comes
They would build macadam streets
with the bones of the unfortunate They
would build sewers and parks with the
blood money from the saloons If they
must have these improvements why in
Gods name will they take them from
the blood of the people
I do not believe there are any who
have considered it in this light and I can
FwiiMcMBTTirrrT3Hrrarrj
not imagine any man mindful of these
consequences of the sale of liquor who
will vote for it as a benefit to the city
But if there aro any of them here that
will do so I say to thorn Tou aro worse
than the worst bum You nre lower
than tho lowegt drunkard Why Be
cause while the drunkard is weak you
are strong The drunkardis blind while
you are clear sighted The drunkard is
drunk while you aro sober What do
you do You set a trap nt bis feet and
stand over him in his stupor and rob
him of bis earnings

Neb say6 I can heartily recommend
Doan- Kidney Pills to all sufferers of
impliint This remedy acted
stricth - to tho representations in my
case and proved to be a kidney cure in
every sense of the word My work
obliges mo to do a great deal of stoopinjj
and lifting and also exposes me to in
clement weather These combined con
ditions probably caused my kidnejs to
become disordered and backache was
the result Though I did not take
Downs Kidney Pills as regularly as I
should have done they nevertheless
benefited me greatly and I willingly give
them my endorsement
