Bishop
Oibson
deplored
the

He
deplored
the
alarming
rate
of
increase
of
intemprrance
describing
it,
as
a
sore
on
the
body
politic
which
had
its
roots
deep
in
the
lives
of
men
and
women
who
were
divorced
from
true
religion.
The
aftermath
of
war,
he
added,
had
proven
more
vexatious
and
bewildeiing
than
the
war
itself.
"It
is
overwhelmingly
Important
at
the
present
time,"
he
de
clared,
"that
professing
Chris
Hans
should
be
of
the
highest
quality
prepared
to
stand
out
against
the
world
as
a
distinct
class,
a
company
of
single-minded
and
single-hearted
men
and
wonvn
persuaded
that
in
Christ
alone
there
is
hope
and
not
ashamed
to
think,
speak
and
live
accordingly."
