Faithful to Ones Own.

Rev. Gardiner Spring was pastor
of the Brick church in New York city
sixty-three years. When he had held
the position for more than half a CEN
fury, he was asked one day, by friend,
" How is it, DIR. Spring, that you re-
main 80 long in one place, while there
have been so many changes in the pull
pits of most churches of the city ?n
His answer was, " think it is proba-
bly, owing to this one thing-thatI have
made it my first and great work to at
tend to my own field, to cultivate my
own vineyard, my own church, and my
work in it and for it. This has been
my first and great and constant aim,
and to allow nothing to interfere with
that" He added, 81 know there is a
vast amount of outside work, commit
tee and society work, to be done; and
in its place it is most important; but |
have always felt that my church was
my place, and its work was my first and
great work, and / have endeavored to
give my time and strength to that. /
have seen many ministers, and 10! too
many business men fail by scattering
their efforts. "-ChriStian Evangelist.

Catholics and Temperance.

We are glad to find the following clear
and forcible deliverance of the late
Plenary Council in Baltimore on tenn
perance: "There is one way of profan-
ing the Lords day which is so prolific
of evil results that we consider it our
duty to utter against it special con-
demnaton. This is the practice of
selling beer or other liquors on Sunday,
or of frequenting places where they are
sold. This practice tends more than
any other to turn the day of the Lord
into day of dissipation, to use it as an
occasion for breeding intemperance.
While we hope that Sunday laws on
this point will not be relaxed, but even
more rigidly enforced, we implore all
Catholics, for the love of God and of
country, never to take part in such
Sunday traffic, nor to patronize or coun-
tenance it. And we not only direct the
attention of all pastors to the repres-
sion of this abuse, but we also call
upon them to induce all of their flocks
that may be engaged in the sale of
liquors to abandon, as soon as they can,
the dangerous traffic and to embrace a
more becoming way of making living

DIR. Rush and the Temperance Reform.

Where did the temperance reform be-
gin? This is not half SO important
question as, When will it be accom-
plished? But it is wisely proposed to
signalize its progress by great cele-
bration. Centennials are the order of
the day. And it is possible to fix upon
the year 1886 as made memorable by
the first appearance of an essay which
had much to do-and more than any
other one publication-with rousing
mems minds to the consideration of the
evils of intemperance and the impor-
lance of earnest measures for its sup
preston. In the year 1885 DIR. Benia-
min Rush of Philadelphia published
his celebrated essay on the Effects of
Ardent Spirits on the Human Mind and
Body" The most of the pioneers in
the reformation traced their convic-
tions and impulses to the facts, argu-
ments and appeals of that remarkable
production. Dr. Rush visited the Cen
eral Assembly of the Presbyterian
Church in May, 1911, distributed one
thousand copies of his essay among
them and personally addressed the body,
appealing to them to undertake the
work of temperance reformation. A
committee was appointed to visit other
religious bodies and present the SUBJ
ject. Pursuant to their appeal, in
Massachusetts, committee was APP
pointed, Rev. Samuel Worcester,
ID, chairman, through whom the
Massachusetts society was organized
early in 1873 The noble men who or
gained The American Society for
the Promotion of Temperance (Feb-
ruary 2, 1926, in Boston, had been
active in the Massachusetts society, or
ganized thirteen years before. Among
them were Rev. Justin Edwards, DID.
Rev. Leonard Woods, ID, and others.
From the organization of this national
society the work rapidly spread, and
state temperance societies were soon
after formed in Connecticut, New FORK,
Maine, Virginia, ETC., besides many
local societies all over the land, down
to our day. We have not doubt that
the Rush essay was the voice that
called into being the reformation, SC
far, alas, from being finished. 1t is
proposed, with the appreciation of many
good and wise men, the venerable Dr.
Mark Hopkins name standing at the
head of the list, to fix upon some date
in the year 1885 to suitably commemo
rate the centennial of the temperance
reformation, and to request all religious
bodies and temperance organizations tC
unite in its observance YOrl

Supreme Court Decision on the
Kansas Liquor Law.

A case has recently been decided by
the supreme court of the United States
in which was involved the question
whether the prohibitory liquor law of
Kansas is CONSTANT with the Constitu-
ton of the United States. The case
came up to the court from the supreme
court of Kansas; and as it stood before
the latter court, it was proceeding in
stituted by the encouragement OF the
state to remove from Office the district
attorney of Saline county, Kansas, be-
cause he refused to prosecute persons
who were guilty of selling Intoxicating
liquors in the county in violation of the
prohibitory liquor law, enacted by the
legislature of the state. The district
attorney claimed that this law was null
and void, because inconsistent with the
Constitution of the United States. The
supreme court of Kansas ruled against
him on this point, and rendered judy
ment removing him from office. He
then, by writ of error, carried the case
to the supreme court of the United
States; and this court affirmed the judy
ment of the court below. Chief-Justice
Waite, in stating the opinion of the
court, referred to two cases in which
the court had considered the same
question, and then said the "question
is now no longer open in this court
Whatever differences of opinion there
may be as to the practicability or wis
dom of absolute prohibition as legal
remedy for the evils resulting from the
liquor business, all doubt is removed as
to the power of the people in each state
to adopt this remedy for the removal OF
these evils, so far as the Constitution OF
the United States is concerned. AL
that is needed in any state is the requi
site popular sentiment in favor of the
remedy. -Independent.
