us is entirely taken up with appeals to the
voters of New York to vote 6 No License"

THE LORDS PRAYER.


"Our Father who art in Heaven, hallow-
ed be thy name /; thy kingdom come thy
will be done on earth, as it is in Heaven
give us this day our daily bread and forgive
US our trespasses, as we forgive those who
trespass against us; and lead us not into
temptation but deliver us from evil for
thine is the kingdom, and the power, and
the glory, for ever and ever. Amen"


Can we hallow the name Of our Father
in Heaven, by voting for the sale of RUM,
the use of which, as beverage, tends to
debase the mind of beings made in his own
image, and causes them to curse His sacred
name?


Can we sincerely pray ,"Thy kingdom
come," and vote for the sale of that, which,
as beverage, builds up and peoples the
kingdom of the Prince of evil, the great
enemy of God and man Can we pray,
" Thy will be done on earth as it is in
Heaven" if we vote for the traffic in RUM !?


Can we pray in sincerity, "Give Us this
day our daily Bread" and vote for traffic
which can only be sustained by taking the
fruits of the earth intended by the bountful
Giver of them, to feed his creatures, and
converting them into a poison to debase
His image?


%" Forgive us our tresspasses as we for
give those that traspass against u.s." Have
we not greatly trespassed in SO long cont
nuing the sale Of RUM? If we thus con-
tinue with our eyes open, to trespass against
our neighbor and put the bottle to his lips,
are we not invoking curses, When we pray,
I" Forgive us our trespasscs ?"


"Lead us not into temptation" If we go
to the polls and vote for the continuance Of
the traffic in RUM, thus putting temptation
in our path, can we, without the blackest
pray to God, "Lead US not into
temptation :"


"Deiver us from evil" Shall we, with
this petition upon our lips, go to the polls
and vote for one of the most tremendous
engines ofevil, ever made by that arch-fend
the devil, TO bleak down the kingdom of
God and build up the kingdom Of unrig
