The Liquor Traffic Working Counter to Christ presents the alcohol industry as directly opposing Christ's redemptive work and kingdom. This pamphlet emphasizes the fundamental incompatibility between Christianity and alcohol production/sales. White typically addressed: how liquor traffic destroys what Christ died to save, the industry's role in perpetuating poverty and crime, Christians' responsibility to oppose it, temperance work as gospel ministry, and the inconsistency of professing Christianity while supporting alcohol business. The pamphlet called for both individual abstinence and active temperance advocacy including legislative efforts for prohibition. White emphasized that every soul destroyed by alcohol represents Christ's sacrifice scorned and Satan's victory celebrated. Christian opposition to liquor traffic demonstrates loyalty to Christ.
Temperance workers, Christians engaged in social reform, legislators, church members addressing community problems, and believers understanding gospel implications for social issues.
