PROHIBITION.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE PRESS. Sir,—The Churches having been forced to see that the Bible as a textbook does not support the case of the reformed Churches are now most anxious to achieve by violent measures a victory in the contentions over Prohibition. Any delay is fatal to the Prohibitionists, since the history of this fad, as experienced in America, is an everincreasing record of failure. In the meantime the foundations of these Churches crumble under the progress of education, which reads the Bible intelligently and can see in the ancient Book of Job a larger vision and higher ideal than that expressed in the Hebrew ritual or the more modern patchwork of Christianity. The attitude over Prohibition suggests that the Church has much to learn in the way of tolerance, if not in the matter of religion.— Yours, etc., H. SMART.
