BACKED BY SCRIPTURE.

In looking over the Sabbath school lesson
for April 9th, my attention was particularly
attracted to the saying of Paul as found in
the 18th verse of the 9Th chapter of I Corr
" Wherefore, if meat make my brother to
offend, l will eat no flesh while the world
standeth, lest l make my brother to offend"
1t temperance preachers, as well temperance
men, who spend 80 much time and are 80
Jealous in the cause, would just resolve as
Paul did, SO far as voting is concerned, there
would be no need of the temperance cause lam
gushing; for if church members and temper
ance men $50 called) would only resolve as
Paul did. and say on election day when they
go to deposit their vote, that g I don't care
for party. l am determined not to deposit
my vote for any candidate who fails to fight
rum whenever opportunity affords" Let it
never be forgotten that the polls are the
places where drunkards are made. And
let every voter who hesitates as to how or for
whom he should vote resolve as Paul did,
=" Let others do as they may, as for me will
never deposit vote for party-unless party
place in nomination the right kind of candi-
dates;" do as Paul did, Therefore it is
determined point with me, upon these princi-
Piles, that if meat drink of any kind scandal
ize my brother and lead him to sin, I
would not only abstain from this or that
lived, eat any sort of flesh, Tor vote for any
advocate of rum, but will deny myself SO as
not to ensnare my brother, of such importance
dol esteem the preservation of an endangered
SOUL" Mr.. Editor, the sooner that milk and
water church members and temperance men
feel that they are their brothers keeper, the
sooner rum will be abolished from the land.
1t is far worse to vote rum than to either
drink or sell it. For my part I despair of
seeing a prohibitory law passed until such
time as christians vote as they should pray.
When that time comes land it must Gomez
short work will be made of the rum traffic.
1t should be understood that high license is
no compromises is rum whether drank in
a carpeted hell or otherwise.
I did not want to trouble you, Mr.. Editor,
or take up anysspace in your paper, but the
noble resolve of Paul filed me SO full of the
truth that we oft sin by our acts, that could
not refrain from giving vent to the feeling.
We are to some extent our brothers keeper,
and are responsible. THos. MCGUIRE.

=" SCRUB UP! THE WOMEN ARE
COMING ~

What wonderful words are these that we hear I?
In echoes repeating so loud and Clear
from the west to the east, we listen again,
TO the new wild words of a strange refrain.
Did you hear it ?-Why there in western town,
All the days of the year to one came down,
And that was " election when each man in his
pride,
A free man walks by freeman's side.
Now all these men had homes neat and Clean
AS any mans wife or mother, 1 ween,
Could scour or sweep with brush or broom,
All the cobwebs and dust from every room
But one-and this they called the polls,
Where the man who preaches and the man who
All night at the revel, walk in side by side,
Each with vote, freeman's pride.
But the polls was no place for broom or brush,
Where only men came, and that in a rush,
With bets and boasts and whiskey rife;
No! the polls was no place for voters wife.
By some strange chance law had passed,
That women might come to this den at last;
And help choose-only the school trustees
And be on committees too, il they please
When bark what wonderful words do we hear?
In echoes resounding so loud and clear,
From the west to the east, we listen their hum
ming.
",Sc,'ub up! scrub up! the aoonaen are coming -
And the newspaper story went on to say,
When the dear women came on election day.
That the floor had been scrubbed with a right
good WILL
For these men were proud of their housekeeping
skill;
AS the snow-fakes of votes fluttered in air,
As pure at the polls as 1t aoas dnyeo7aere.
ALI there's scrubbing to do in morals and
schools;
There is Frightening up of golden rules
g AS We would that men should do unto you,"
So even to them All . interpreters few
Are found in our lives, for all corners of law
Are cobwebbed and dusty, hiding virtue and flaw.
II is time they aoere scrubbed, and where is the
man,
Like these, not afraid of the housekeeping
plan?
Who'll not think of rest till the victory is won,
But who'll scrub with the women till scrubbing
is done? E. II. T. IN Woman at Work.

A Query Answered.

This question has been asked me: ssHow is
local organization benefited by being aux
iliary to the State Union?" I send to the
GAZETTE my reply to the above that my Sis
tiers may have the benefit of my ideas In re-
gard to it. I speak from experience. Our
State Union held its annual convention in
Trenton in 1877. I went; it was the first
convention of women 1 had ever attended and
it was at this meeting my eyes were opened
as to my individual duty in regard to temper
ance work. I was led out to take my place
in the ranks.
There is always strength in being united.
The very fact that nearly 5000 women in
New Jersey are united in one band, all work
ing for the same glorious end, is power that
our enemies very fully realize. Then, again,
the fact that in the nation nearly 100, 900
women are united in the same good work, is
mighty lever working for good. You see we
are not only laboring for the towns in which
we live, but we want the state of New Jersey
free from the whitening blight. We are not
only working for New Jersey, but for the
great and glorious United States and the en-
tire world. Take New York state, having
granted at this present session of the legisla-
ture the g temperance educational act;" it
was brought about mainly by the united eff
fort of its 1913 Unions and their membership
of over 5000 women. Look at Iowa, and
Ohio, and Michigan.
Then, the very best women of our land are
giving the best of brain and life to the differ
ent plans for carrying forward the work.
They map out the way. They think, and de-
wise, and pray, and plan, and we have the
benefit of their thought. So, in our state
work; we select the very best women (best
qualifed) to fill the offices of superintendent
of departments, and they for the Master give
tbnIr fol lrot IN IA
in the prosecution of the work, for we have
no salaried officers or superintendent in the
state. We are not narrow minded. No w.
G. t. q. woman is to say, II will work for
my own town, but will do nothing to advance
the work. 1t is enough to work here at home
without going abroad to do good" All! no.
1t is not the spirit of our work to be con-
tracted in our efforts.
| Mabee and English, whom the Lord is
using so wonderfully in our state, were res
cued by ''white-ribbon women'-women
whose views of christian endeavor were broad
enough to reach out beyond their own circle,
and we see the result of their reaching out.
| Our conventions are source of strength
and power. Coming in contact with each
other, listening to each others experience,
and the way the work was done at such a
point, heart knit to heart-surely this is q
means of strength! As we can do more for
the cause by becoming members of temper
ance organizations than we can by remaining
apart as individuals, as we have formed our
selves into society simply because we know
that six consecrated, earnest women, togeth-
er, can do far better than six consecrated
temperance women apart, or in separate
places so, we may bring the analogy to bear
upon the benefit to be derived from being
auxiliary to the State and National Union.

imposing manner. So the newspaper
man arrayed himself, tiguratively speak
ing, Gin purple and fine linen,'' and set
forth at rapid gait, fearful lest he arrive
too late for supper. AS he passed over
the brow of the hill between Williamsport
and the grounds where the festivities were
taking place the cayuse, not being able to
see the house, and probably thinking he
might lose his way without being sure of
his objective point, suddenly, to the sur
prise of the rural journalist, stood upon
his hind feet to take view of the situa-
ton. Then, becoming jolly, he walked
on his hands, like the man in the circus.
Finally he turned t1ip-fap Or two. The
scribe became disgusted, gracefully(?) dis
mounted, and continued his journey on
foot. The cayuse Strengthened out his
tail, pricked up his ears, took a farewell
look, smiled, and started for home

The following criticism from the Nc

as it was written by an able and compe-
tent prjnter-one who knows whereof he
speaks: "Williamsport, the booming
county-seat of Emmons County, now has
neat little paper. Its publisher, Mr.. D.
r. Streeter, is a gentleman well known
to- the typographical fraternity of the
wffole country. Asake ia a 'way-up'
printer himself, his paper is of course d
model of neatness. 1t says many good
things for the Missouri Slope, and will do
much toward accelerating the develop
