The temperance reform seems TO have
come to its kingdom, in Denmark. The
aggressive workers over there have actual

the kings treasury, and what is more, the
Danish parliament after favorable dis

where only six years ago, there was no. a

How the saloon depletes the church is
most strikingly shown by the following
statistics gathered by that pungent prohi-

ly OF Dubuque, Iowa, and now of Bloom-

are about 4, 800 young men in this city. OF

es of 5,5ll, only 800, or about one tenth
are young men, and the average attend

that! More Young men arrested in year

Notice how the proportion of arrests com
pare with the visits to the saloons. Here
is the licensed crime-breeder at his work.
Here are the open gate to that hell which
blackens moral character blinds moral
perceptions, weakens will power, and wi
engulf With earthly shame and eternal per

ministers are not wilfuily blind, they will
engage in this holy war upon the liquoi
traffic as the surest means of winning
souls.
