Josiah Strong asks President Roosevelt if he remembers writing an article for Strong, then secretary of the Evangelical Alliance, four years ago for a leaflet entitled “On the Need of Commonplace Virtues.” The article was not published because of references to “political prohibitionists.” Strong has since left the Evangelical Alliance and would like Roosevelt’s permission to publish the article in the Christmas issue of Social Service.
