Book Description

Excerpt from Prohibition, the Way to National Prosperity: A Sermon The Supreme Court of the United States has in one of its judgments declared that This is a Christian nation. Suppose then the gospel with its grace and moral righteous ness was accepted as the rule of life by all officers of the United States; by the governor and members of the legislature in every state of this Union; by. The judiciary and all the county officers; by the mayors and alder men of every city in the land; by all the school trustees and teachers and college and university professors. Were I to state the heights to which righteousness can exalt a nation where it was generally observed by the people and voted by the majority until it controlled their public authorities, my tongue would have to be dipped in all the bright and brilliant hues of the rainbow to paint the scene. Even then language would fail me to describe the peace, happiness and prosperity that would appear among that people and the heights of progress and civ ilization to which righteousness can exalt a nation. But if I may not now describe the brilliancy and splendors of civilization that would appear in the land and all the things that righteousness promotes with the bloom and abundance of Eden again coming back to earth, thanks be unto God that I can point out the way and direct you all in the path that will best promote the welfare of this or any nation. Every one who will turn away from all evil, and who will hunger and thirst after righteousness and steadfastly believe on the Lord Jesus Christ shall, through the atonement He has made for the sins of the whole world, receive the grace that not only brings salvation to the soul but also promotes in the highest degree, liberty, intelligence, prosperity and civilization among the people of this or any nation.
