Show THE' RESPONSIBILITY AND THE POWER OF THE CHURCH. "In the total membership, in their aggregate property holdings, in their combined intellectual, social and moral mor-al influence, the churches represent enormous power; and, when unitod for one end, they are capable of almost any achievement in the Interest of the public. In all these Tespects named, the churches together, far outweigh tho combined interests of tho liquor dealers, and, If they acted as harmoniously harmon-iously and solidly as the latter do, they would have no difficulty in accomplishing ac-complishing their purpose. Acting as one strong arm, they should strike a blow at the liquor curse from which It would never recover." From Leslie's Les-lie's Weekly.
