THE LADIES AND THE BABIES,

The above is the last toast that was drunk
by the liquor dealers in their convention
held in Reading. Pa, Dec g. That these
men whose business ruins more homes,
destroys the happiness of more women and
blights the lives Of more children than any
other evil shonld have the cheek to propose
such toast on such an occasion. is only
another evidence of tie cruel mockery and
heartless disdain of the traffic
There is hardly mother or child in the
land who doesn't recognize III the saloon a
natural enemy, who doesn't know that the
greatest dangers met on life S road are placed
there by the drink system, who does not
know that the whiskey business causes more
poverty than all other social evils combined.
The voice of this infamous business says:
God Bless Them" while at the same
time all the charms of home are trampled
under the brutal feet of lust and avarice
bred and strengthened in the saloon.

SEVEN QUESTIONS.

If you meet with an atheist, do not let
him entangle you into the discussion Of slide
issues. As to many points which he raises
you must learn to make the rabbi answer.
Il do not know But ask him these
seven questions:
/. Ask him, Where did matter come
from? Can dead thing create itselfs
2. Ask him, Where did motion come
froma
3. Ask him where life came from, save
the finger tip of Omnipotence.
4. Ask him whence came the exquisite
order and design in nature. IF one told yoH
that millions Of printers types should fer
tuitously shape themselves into the divine
comedy of Dante or the plays of Shakes
peare, would you not think him mailman
). Ask him whence came consciousness.
G. Ask him who gave you free will.
:. Ask him whence came conscience.
He who says there is no God in the face
of these questions talks simply stupendous
nonsense. This, then, is one of the found
ations-one of the things which cannot be
shaken, and will remain. From this belief
in God, follows the belief in God preyi-
dence, the belief that we are his people and
the sheep Of his pasture. And belief in re-
demption necessitates belief in sanctitiea-
ton, and the knowledge of God not only as
Jehovah NlSsi the Lord our banner;
Jehovah Jireh, the Lord our helper: but
Jehovah slammed, the Lord our glory, and
Jehovah Tsidkenu, the Lord our righteous
ness; not only OF the Emmanuel. the God
