Dear Friends* — “And it tame to pass, that when lerd> lali hail made an end of speaking unto the people all the words of the Lord their (iod, for which the Lord thm God had sent him to them." There only remain alvjut three weeks between now and the Poll. So soon, as far as the 1940 licensing poll is concev .id, the time to speak the “words of tlit Lord” in condemnation of this evil trade will he past. Have you and 1 <\ ken all the words we ought t< iiavt spoken? !s there ''till some message, some knowledge, of this dreadful thine that we should make known to some •-ther person? It is necessary that e keep three lamps burning brightty--Faith, Prayer and Perseverance If you have not already lit them, NOW is the time to light up. If you have allowed them to become a little dun. trim and polish them in the light of God’s promise of victory to those who tight faithfully. We look forward ihe time when there will he no legalist! -ale of beverage alcohol in this beautiful land. Although it*may take Mime time to banish illegal '.ales, it will be much easier to cope with them ii there i> no “legal" wall for evil traders to hide behind. So, away with the wall. Those there were who thought that the walls of Jericho would never fall, !>ut they did. Those there are who* think that the wall of the legalised sale of beverage alcohol will never fall, hut IT WILL, for God is marching on. Affectionate greetings to you all from Yours in service, C. E. KIRK.
