Temperance.
Heredity and Hygiene and their
Relations to Temperance.

The temperance reform stands as the
exponent, not alone of that return to
physical sanity which will follow the
downfall of the drink habit, but for the
reign of religion of the body which for
the first time in history shall correlate
with Christ's wholesome, practical, yet
blessedly spiritual religion Of the soul.
ssThe kingdom of heaven is within you =
shall have new meaning to the clear
eyed, steady-limbed Christians of the fu-
ture, from whose brains and blood the
faint of alcohol and nicotine has been
eliminated by ages of pure habits and
noble heredity. 1.-THE body is the tenn
pie of the Holy Ghost" will not then
seem SO mystical statement so lnsalu-
brious as now. "He that destroyeth this
temple, him shall God Destroy" will be
seen to involve no element of vengeance,
but instead to be the declaration OF SUCH
boundless love and pity for our race, as
would not suffer its deterioration to reach
the point of absolute failure and IRENE
diable loss.
The women of this land have never had
before such training in the laws by which
childhood shall set out upon its endless
journey with priceless heritage of pow
ers laid up for him in store by the tender,
sacred foresight of those by whom the
young immortals being was invoked.

and wicked, nor~the cumbrous dress of
the period so uncomfortable as now, when
from studying one ''poison habit" our
minds, by the inevitable laws Of thought,
reach out to wider researches and more
varied deductions than we had dreamed
at first. The economies of cooperative
housekeeping never looked so attractive
or so feasible as since the homemakers
have learned something about the price

poses of Christ-like benevolence. The

East and West, know where the high IL
cense "craze" originated? In the bosom

citation. And it is the shreWdest trick
ever exploited by them. 1t has entrapped
ministers, whole clubs of religious peo-
Pile, and proved a peg in legislative walls
on which to hang for an indefinite period
of time, all anti-liquor legislation. Much
hard work has been done in the interest
of the liquor traffic this year by legisla
lures for absolutely no pay, simply the
poor privilege of avoiding the impending
prohibitory conflict.

TEMPERANCE AND MISSIONS

The time has passed when these two
can be separated. From every mission
field there comes the cry, ssIntemperance
is greater obstacle to the spread of the
gospel than is heathenism." The evil is
two fold-that resulting from the indu-
ence of drinking sailors and tourists from
Christian nations, and the direct influence
OF intemperance upon the natives. And
the evil is growing; in the early history
OF missions, India suffered comparatively
little from this source; now, owing in
large measure, to distilleries of cheap
Whiskey made from beets, licensed and
encouraged by Christian Britain. inuem-
perance is so largely on the increase as
to appall the missionaries. They write
that even the children in the mission
schools are falling victims. During the
late missionary conference in Calcutta.
the largest gathering Of missionaries ever
convened on that field, an entire day was
devoted to this topic, SO deeply impressed
were they with its magnitude
The deleterious influence of intemper-
ance upon missions in Africa. japan.
China, and indeed all mission fields, is
indisputable and alarming The Christian
world is fast being brought face to face
with the great problem: allow can souls
be saved from the combined influence of
heatbenism and intemperance?" Chris
tians have sometimes felt that work for
missions was more distinctly work for
Christ than was temperance work; God
seems teaching us that temperance work
must be done, or mission work will prove
failure. So long as Christian nations
send out disciples of Baechus in mucl
greater number than the disciples O.
Christ, their influence upon heather ma
tions must be for evil, and that continu
ally. If preaching Christ to the heather
be our only incentive, it must lead us t,
do temperance work at home; that thos
who go from US to them may not und,

TOBACCO.

My theme is tobacco; not favorable
one / admit, and yet this is more in the
way of our success both in the church
and state than many are willing to con-
cede. The physician who said ''his pa
tient could have been saved had he not
poisoned his system with tobacco" told
a great truth, and it may apply in more
ways than one. At Clear Lake, last year,
a reformed inebriate said elf he should
indulge in the use Of tobacco, nothing
could save him from drunkard'S grave"
What / am writing is not so much for
the aged as the young. For the last few
years my mind has been deeply impressed
by what l have witnessed in our revival
meetings, and the special effect Of the
workings of the Holy Spirit upon the
minds of young men under the influence
of this powerful narcotic After years of
close observation, give it as my DELHI
crate opinion, that man upon whose
heart the Spirit has deeply moved, has
only to fill his mouth with the weed, and
soon he will succeed in sitting the most
pupgent conviction. He may pass through
the revival apparently as unmoved as 6
stone, and laugh and jeer at what at first
was serious matter with him. There
would be to me some relief, but for the
fact that ministers and members sanction
by their own practice this evil. A whole

My observation is this, without eXcep

in the use of tobacco it is useless to TT
to have revival of Gods work. Ifsoul
are converted, they soon dwindle int
into comparatively nothing. I believ
that God not only wants his people t
have clean hearts, but clean mouths d

The Inter Ocean after thorough estl-
mate from statistics and reports of other
towns and an Investigation by an accurate
reporter of Chicago makes the calculation
that the total cost of liquors drank in
Illinois exceeds sec, 100000 per annum.
Chicago has one licensed saloon to every
one hundred and sixty inhabitants. Bad
as is the record, it has not so bad a show
ing as Buffalo, n. Y, which has one Ii
censed saloon to every ninty-six inhabi-
tants, and New York one for every one
hundred and thirty-five inhabitants. Fiji
weight high-license towns of Illinois,
with a population of lS9, 900, contain four
hundred and one saloons, or one to every
four hundred and seventy Inhabitants.
What would be the growth and prospect,
ty of this noble state, but for intemper-
| ance?
