the prohibition cause pairs well with xenophobia
1886-08-04 - Raleigh Christian Advocate
- We’re very excited about the Prohibition cause
- Against Extravagant Funerals
- Editor spent the day at the “splendid” Watkins home (That’s Samuel2)
- Only Good Men For Office
- Home prayer with family: some recommendations, like have an altar at home and something about “the offering of the morning and evening sacrifice … for this branch of Christian education there is no substitute” and I went to Sunday school but I do not recall … this
- The cause of Temperance cannot be proved by cursing (by cursing the author means calling whisky a “devil”)
- Anyway, Prohibition is great
- By the way, we’re also super into prohibition in the sense of prohibiting foreign immigration. “The scum of all the world is rapidly drifting towards America,” to quote related publication the Southern Christian Advocate. Oh. Well, that took a turn.
- The prohibitionist cause framed as Good vs. Evil, woooo, victory, the lord, the air is full of signs, etc.
