BISHOPS ON LIQUOR QUESTION.
Bishop of Durham.—" Prohibition can not be reconciled ■with the tradition of Christianity, or with the teaching and example of Christ. Accordingly, the churches must needs be restive under a law which seems to challenge their most sacred convictions. “The only security against excess which is worth having is a habit of self-control, and the formation of that habit is endangered, if not rendered impossible by the ’ cotton-wool policy ’ of Prohibition.” Bishop of HerefordPohibition is a ‘ throw-back ’ to the discredited methods of coercion. It violates civic self-respect; Its brutal simplicity insults reason .and destroys liberty. It can but breed in England what it has bred in America—arrogance, hypocrisy, and discontent.” What better authority could be obtained on this alhimportant question? Vote Restoration and National Continuance*
