The Parallels Of Our Lord
From the Revised Version.
THE SOwER.


The sower went forth to sow: and it
came to pass. as he sowed, some seed
fell by the way side, and the birds
came and devoured it. And other fell
Oh the rocky ground, where il had not
much earth and straightway 1t sprang
up. because it had no deepness of
earth and when the sun was risen, 1t
was scOrched and because it had no
root, it withered away. And other fell
among the thorns, and the thOrns grew
up, and choked it, and it yielded no
fruit. And others fell into the good
ground, and yielded fruit, growing up
and increasing; and brought forth,
thirtyfold, and sixtyfold, aud a hun
dredfold. Now the parable is this ::
The seed is the word of God. And
those by the way side are they that
have heard; then cometh the devil,
and taketh away the word from their
heart, that they may NOT believe and
I've saved. And those on the rock are
they which, when they have heard, re-
ceive the word with joy; and these
have no root, which for while believe,
and in time of temptation fall away.
And that which fell among the thOrns,
these are they that have heard, and as
they go on their way they are chOked
with care and riches and pleasures of
this life, and bring no fruit to perfec-
ton. And that in the good ground,
these are such as in an honest and
good heart, having heard the word,
hold it fast, and bring forth fruit with
patience. 49, Mark 1: 80. Luke Z: Ills.

be extremely uncivil and unjust.
What we affirm is that if the state
claims the right to load any traffic
with letters, it virtually asserts there
by its prerogative of suppressing that
traffic entirely. The right to regulate
with severity includes in it the right
to completely prohibit. If it is JUS
tice to hamper, it is justice to sup
press.
(2) If it is possible to regulate, it is
possible to effectually forbid. Here we
come to the most formidable part of
the question of feasibility. Are we
able to lay our hand upon the whiskey
monster and restrain him? Then are
we allowable to lay our hand upon him
and put an effectual limit to his exis-
tence? If it is possible for us to tame
a wild creature, it is possible for us to
deprive it of life entirely. A
prohibitory law it is very hard to exc
cute. So is a license law. We are in
clined to believe that the stringent Ii
cense law is as much of dead letter
upon our statute books as the Out-and-
out prohibitOry enactment. 1t is lax
and harmless license ordinance which
is executed without friction. License
laws which are sharp and severe
enough to do any good towards lessen
ing the sale of strong drink are cOntinu-
ally evaded, and with this added shame
that the government becomes to
some extent pdrticepS criminis. If II Is
possible to enforce Il SHARP and whole
some license law, it is perfectly posi-
BILE to carry prOhibitory ordinance
into effect.
(3) 1t is possible to prohibit where
it is impossible to license. This is
doubtless the most revolutionary as
severation of all. Yet it is made de
liberately. We can suppress where
WE can not regulate. Some one has
said it is impossible to regulate IA nest
of rattlesnakes it is possible to eXter-
inmate the vile and venOmOus crea-
lures. We can see how we may be
able by few vigorous daShes to put Il
fire completely out, but how i'll the
midst of combustible material we can
at the same time nurse it and yet hold
it in control is not so evident, though
the experiment is as old as the hills.
Verify the state enters upon an over
whelming piece of work, when it at
ItlnDIS 10 nOlu Ill CHECK Sutll dl lHSlu-
ious, out-spreading evil as the rum
traffic. 1t knows with what difficulty
it keeps under control pestilence OF
plague. 1t will find in whiskey- drink
ing some elements no less umsubmis-
sive to restraint. The demon may be
crushed, but it can not be tied or tam
ed. A better way there is, an easier
method indeed. 1t is to at once de
nounce the liquor trade as pernicious
and iniquitOus and steadily and sturdi-
ly fight it to the death. 1t will doubt
less die hard, but let us not give it new
elements of vigOr or venture to nOur-
ish instead of suppress.
We have written these words be
cause we are tired of hearing from pull
pit and press the assertion made that
prohibition is chimerical, but that Ii
cense is the beauty of practicability
We do not care to take this lusty thing
by the horns. We prefer to strike i

Temperance.
Prohibition.

1t is admitted on all sides now that
whisky is an evil. The old Washing
tOnians had hard work To maintain
such a position in their day, but in the
generation which now is, it has be
come matter taken for granted.
Even the saloon Keeper himself will
sometimes confess that it works some
injury, and declare that he would
cease To sell were the demand on him
not so imperative. 1t is an acknowl-
edged evil, we will say.
Well, then, how shall the nuisance
be abated One way To suppress an
evil is to crush it, This is the most
natural and familiar mode. When a
serpent crosses our path we put heel
on its head, and we consider that evil
pretty etfectually suppressed. But
there is another method of attempted
suppression. 1t has become very pop
ular of late. 1t is the policy of regu-
lation. Instead of placing heel on
the head of his snakeship we slow his
gait by laying a few sticks across his
back, or we check his course now and
then perhaps by means of a forked
stick which pinches him to the ground
The plan in this case is to keep the
animal alive, but at the same time to
interfere largely with his free course,
making him 20 now this way, now
that, now fast, now slow, as the eX-
perimenter may see fit.
There are two very well known ways
of dealing with the liquor dragon. One
is the method of staying, and the 9TH
er is the method of scorching. License
or prohibition. Which is the best ?
IL is urged in favor of the former plan
that il is a feasible one. II is main
tanned in disapproval of the other
method that it is impracticable. We
have somewhat to say on this. This
we believe: ~ What IT Is right to
regulate it is right to prohibit. That
Is to say. what one in simple justice
can interfere with, he can on the same
grounds completely set aside. II 1t is
proper for us to torture the snake, 1t Is
not wrong for us to destroy 1t at once.
We bring this consideration to mind
because there is class of men who
seem to think the regulation OF the
liquor traffic an honorable thing, while
the suppression of it would appear TO

Ealimg .Before Sleeping.

Man is the only animal that can he
taught to sleep quietly on an empty
stomach. The brute creation resent
all efforts to coax them to such VIC
lation of the laws of nature. The lion
roars in the forest until he has found
his prey, and when he has devOured
it he sleeps over it until he needs an
other meal. The horse will paw all
night i'll the stables, and the pig will
squeal i'll the pen, refusing all rest of
sleep until they are fed. The animals
which chew the cud have their own
proviso for late meal just before
dropping off to their nightly slumbers.
Man can train himself to the habit of
sleeping without Il preceding meal,
but only after long wears of practice.
As he comes into the world nature is
too strong for him, and he must be fed
before he will sleep. A child's stom-
ach is small, and when perfectly filled,
sleep follows naturally and inevitably.
As digestion goes on the stomach be-
gins to empty. a single fold in it will
make the sleeper restless; two will
weaken it, and if it is hushed again to
repose the nap is short; three folds
put an end to the Slumber. ParegOric
or other narcotic may close its eyes
again, but without either food or some
Supplying drug it will not sleep, no
matter how healthy it may he. Not
even an angel, who learned the art of
minstrelSy i'll Il celestial choir, can sing
Il child to sleep on empty stomach.
We use the Oft-quoted illustration,
sleeping as sweetly as an infant" be
cause this slumber of Il child follows
pletely filed with wholesome food.
The sleep which comes to adults long
hours after partaking food, and when
the stomach is nearly or quite empty,
is not after the type of infantile repOse.
There is all the difference in the world
between the sleep of refreshment and
the sleep of exhaustion. TO sleep well
the blood that swells the veins in the
head during the busy hours must flow
back, leaving greatly diminished
volume behind the brow that lately
throbbed with such vehemence. To
digest well this blood is needed ut the
stomach, and nearer the fountains of
life. 1t is a fact established beyond
the possibility of contradiction that
sleep aids digestion, and that the pro-
cess of digestion is conducive of re-
freshing sleep. 1t needs no argument
to convince us of this mutual relation.
The drowsiness which always follows
the well-Ordered meal is itself Il testi-
mony of nature to this inter-depen-
dence.-[ y. y. Journal of Commerce.
