Yet that question was asked Of men who are money
combed with sin The soul precious because there is
much left that is Of worth. We reform what is worth
saving Not Christ's coming made worth saving;
but He because already they were worth redeem

HIGH LICENSE OR PROHIBITION
The Rev Dr. Ferris In the evening when he spoke on
temperance, sad: Il am not an extremist There are
circumstances when, believe the Use Of liquor j. justin
able. But If asked which should prefer High Ii
Prohibition. should say Prohibition! The
license may stop the poor from drinking, but it lets
the rich drink all he wants at the fine saloon. The
only advantage can as resulting win bc a war be
the poor saloons and the rich, and when Satan il
fighting against himsef some good may come Of it.

heavy restrictions without pay. Then the Govern
