Effects of Local Option.

II cannot be denied that the prohibition
of the sale OF liquor under our local po-
tion law has had a most beneficial effect,
from moral and social point of view, on
the small towns in which it has been en-
forced. 1t has been asserted that prohi-
bItion has resulted in a decrease of bust
ness in some instances, while in others 1t
has apparently contributed to general
prosperity. Those places that have lost
business on account Ofprohibition are al
most all located near other towns where
liquor is sold, but few places, probably,
have lost much more than what would
represent the annual value of the liquor
business.
Prohibition has had the effect to make
many Of the country newspapers much
less interesting, from a sensational point
OF view, than formerly. The space usually
devoted TO street and barroom rows, MUIR
ders and the escapades of drunken men
and boys is now devoted to notices OF
schools, reading clubs, lectures and other
matters relating to the development of
the moral, mental and social interests of
the community. In many small towns OF
from 200 to 500 inhabitants social life had
been robbed of its pleRsantest features by
feuds and other harmful results of the
drinking habits OF many of the young
men. Many communities lived In con-
slant dread Of some great tragedy that it
seemed would be precipitated every pub
lie day, when crowds of men, many of
them infiamed by drink, would be drawn
together; in tact, such tragedies were by
no means rare.
A change for the better has been nota-
BILE in nearly all small towns where
prohibition has gone into effect, and il is
in force in more than three-fourths of the
towns of Georgia. What the effect OF the
law will be in such place as Atlanta re-
mains to be seen, but it can scarcely be
doubted that it will be highly beneficial.
One very gratifying thing is that the
annlmosities engendered by the contests
in the local option elections appear to die
out rapidly. Most of the anti-Prohibi-
tionists acknowledge the disinterested-
ness and sincerity OF the ProhibItionists,
and usually become converted TO their
views when the beneficial effects OF pro-
hibition have been seen--in fact many of
the liquor dealers became Prohibitionists,
and rejoice that they themselves are out
Of business that has many unpleasant
features, especially in small towns where
the police authorities are almost power
less to suppress disorder.
In nearly all of these prohibition towns
the young men who formerly spent much
OF their time in frivolity and rowdy sports,
now see the importance OF elevating
themselves in a mental and social scale,
and most of them feel and appreciate.
more than they ever did in the past, the
responsibilities and ends Of life.

About Faith Cures.

No sincere believer in the scriptures
can doubt that very many faith cures
were effected by the Saviour, his dis
ciPles and their immediate successors.
Not only were persons who were afflicted
with diseases that were regarded as in
durable healed, but some were even raised
from the dead. Miracles were performed
in order that the people might be I'm
pressed with the supernatural personality
and powers OF Christ, and be made to
recognize his divine mission and believe
IN the new dispensatiOn of grace.
1t is generally believed that miracles
ceased after the days OF the Apostles, and
that the Divine power since that time has
only been manifested through the influ-
ence Of the Holy Spirit. Tradition, how
ever, points to thousands of miracles,
principally miraculous cures that are al
legged to have been performed at various
times during the Christian era down to
the present day.
The excitement that has prevailed in
this country during the past few years
on the subject OF faith cures seems to be
dying out. The hundreds of cases that
have been reported, have not been pre-
sented to the public backed with such
evidences of genuineness, as to be ac-
cepted even by the reli gious public. 1t
has been demonstrated that in many in
stances the persons who bell eyed them
selves to have been miraculOusly cured
were mistaken, and that their magma
ton led them to believe that they had
been cured, when such was not the case.
1t is not to be doubted that many af-
flicted persons have recovered after being
made the subject of special prayers. This
does not afford very satisfactory evidence
that they were cured by faith, as many
afflicted people recover without the aid of
either prayers or medicine. Few reputable
physicians in this enlightened age depend
wholly upon medicines. The most they
pretend to do is to assist nature with
medicines and careful nursing. Nature
is the most powerful agent upon which
they can depend. Faith IN q doctor is
good thing for patient to have, as is faith
in the recuperative powers OF nature, and
above all things one should have faith in
natures God, who, while He may vary
the laws OF nature, certainly uses those
laws almost invariably to accomplish His
ends.
There are ills that need only the Divine
Physician, and those only he can cure,
but it is believed that most of the physical
ills that flesh is heir to are left subject to
the general laws OF nature, and may be
affected favorably or unfavorably by the
use OF the remedies which nature pro-
vides. These ills, however. need usually
the diagnosis and advice of skilled physi-
clans.
