HARRISBURG flffftftll TELEGRAPH
DRY NATION IS
PREDICTED
Ministers Foresee National
Prohibition as Econom
ical Step
Hundreds of churchgoers in Har
risburg were stirred profoundly on
Sunday with patriotic addresses by
nearly every preacher in the city.
One of the most enthusiastic
was held in Grace Methodist Church
when the pastor, the Rev. Dr. Rob
ert Bagnell, delivered a forceful ser
mon and the congregation adopted
resolutions asking that Congress pass
the President's selective conscription
bill and that the President and Con
gress enact national prohibition as
a war measure.
See Prohibition
"The war will bring national pro
hibition of the liquor traffic and
many other national reforms," de
clared the Rev. Dr. H. R. Bender,
new pastor of the Rtdge Avenue
Methodist Church, in his patriotic
address on "The Present War."
Dr. Bagnell spoke on "Doing Our
Bit" and in his forceful way warned
the people against expecting too
early a peace. He said "It will be
necessary for every one to do his or
her bit. as it is not likely that the
war will end before a year from next
Fall, and victory will require every
ounce of power on .the part of the
allies." The only way in which an
earlier peace might be likely would
be for the allies to be content be
fore they finish their worV. in the
destruction of militaristic oligarchy,
and evpn if Russia and the United
States would consent to a comprom
ise, England and France would not.
The only other way to an earlier
peace would be through a revolution
in.Germany and if that should occur,
the allies would speedily reach an
understanding with a Democratic
Germany. The Germans are a splen
did people and not any of the allies
desire to humiliate them."
Dr. Bagnell reminded the congre
gation of the very complete organi
zation and control of the German
people by the Hohenzollern auto
cracy and said a revolution would
be very difficult. One of his force
ful remarks were: "No one can
Imagine the self-willed, egotistical
Kaiser and the rattled-brained, tire
eating Crown Prince excepting the
humilating terms the allies would
offer, or of the allies being able to
trust them if they did. It would be
another case of Napoleon at Elba."
Piglit to the Finish
In finishing Dr. Bagnell said
"therefore, it will be a tight to the
finish and every man, woman and
child must do their bit."
At the close of this powerful ser
mon. Arthur D. Bacon presented
several resolutions, and moved that
they be adopted. Dr. Bagnell put the
resolutions and called for a stand
ing vote and they were unanimously
adopted. The pastor then announced-:
the appointment of the following
live men a committee to carry out
the instructions of the resolutions:
Arthur D. Bacon, chairman; Harry
C. Ross. J. Horace McFarland, Dr.
J. W. Ellenberger and Charles H.
Kinter.
The resolutions presented by Mr.
Bacon follow:
Adopt Resolutions
' "Whereas —Even the im
imniense resources of grain and
food products of our country
will be taxed to the extreme
limit to provide the necessary
supplies for our own army and
navy, and to see that our allies
are fully provisioned.
"Whereas—A very great per
cent, of the grain of the country,
some authorities say 12 per cent,
is used in the manufacture of
intoxicating drinks.
"Therefore —
"Resolved, That we earnestly
request the President of the
United States and Congress as
sembled, to enact national pro
hibition as a war measure in the
interest of the conservation of
our food supply.
"Resolved, Also that we earn
estly urge the Governor and
legislature of Pennsylvania, to
take like steps for our- great
Commonwealth, that we may be
among the leaders of prohibition
in this great movement.
"Resolved, That a copy of this
be sent to the President, Sen
ators and Congressmen of Penn
sylvania and the Governor, Sen
ator and Representatives of the
Commonwealth and the press
of the city.
"Whereas—There is now pen
ding in Congress of the United
States a bill providing for re
stricted universal conscription.
"Resolved, That we earnestly
urge upon Congress the passage
of the bill for the following
among other reasons:
1. "it will distribute the quota
of men for the army and navy
over the whole country and
through all classes of society in
an equitable manner. This could
not result from the volunteer
system.
2. "It will scientificaly select
men for the front and for
various duties at home. The
volunteer system takes many
men to the front who could
serve best at home.
3. "It will provide for an in
ventory of men as well as means
in a scientific manner, thus pre
venting the universal wastage
of the volunteer system.
4. "And finally it will serve
notice to Prussia and the auto
cracy that America with all that
she has of men and women and
resources are thrown into/ the
battle for freedom. t
"Resolved, That copies be
sent to the President, to our
Senators and Representatives in
Congress and to the press of
this city."
Dr. Bender declared that "the
kings and rulers set themselves in an
attitude of hostility against each
other and against the people. They
took counsel together, not only
against each other, but also against
Christian civilization: against inter
national law; against treaties of
peace, against mercy and justice,
against the Lord and His Anointed."
"This is not a war of races, nor of
religions, nor of labor against cap
ital: nor of socialism against an
aristocracy of wealth, but it began as
a war of kings against kings and has
developed into a war of an oligarchy
against democracy, or a war of mili
tary power against all that makes a
Christian civilization.
To show the sentiment that has
been created In Germany he quoted
from a sermon preached by the Rev.
Fritz Phillips, of Berlin, in which he
said, "Humanity must be redeemed
by blood, by fire, and by the sword.
German warriors do not willingly
shed the blood of other nations, but
they do it as a sacred duty, which
they dare not neglect without com
mitting sin. Germany's divine mis
sion Is to crucify humanity. It is
the duty of Germany's soldiers to
strike blows of merciless violence.
Satan himself, who has come to the
world In the shape of a great power.
(England), must be crushed."
He also quoted from a sermon
preached by the Rev. Dr. Lobel, pas-
tor of the principal Lutheran Church '
in Leipslg. as "Germany
stands for Christianity; her enemies
are the enemies of true religion. It
is this knowledge that enables us to
rejoice and be glad, with hearts lull
of thankfulness, when our engines
of war, in the air, strike down the
sons of Satan, and when our won
derful submarines send thousands of
the unelect to the bottom of the
sea. We must tight the wicked by all
possible means; their sufferings
must please us; their cries of an
guish must fall on deuf German ears;
there can be no compromise with
the forces of hell; no pity for the
slaves of Satan. In other words, no
quarter for the English, French and
Kussiuns, and all other peoples who
have lent themselves to the devil."
He declared that the nations at
last see that Germany has wanted
as many nations as possible to re
main neutral until England be crush
ed, and then she hopes to crush the
other nations at her will. "This war
is uncovering the sore spots in our
body politic. Our social club life,
our beer gardens, the saloon and
similar vices have sapped the virtues
of an enduring manhood. The Kvar
will bring national prohibition of the
liquor traffic, and many other na
tional blessings much quicker than
could have been accomplished had it
not come upon us."
