PrcsbyferIans and Temperance.


The standing committee of Temperance
in the Presbytery OF West Jersey at its late
session in Atlantic City, made an annual
report which was accepted, in which utter
ance is given to some very pronounced
ideas in relation to this eanse and the duty
OF church members. The report closes as
follows:
"We believe that there is growing sen
tlment among all good people throughout
our bounds in favor Of prohibition as the
good to which all must work with earnest
zeal and faith confident of ultimate sue
sess. Through the recent action of our
State Legisaturein passing Local OPP
tion and High License bill, an opportunity
will no doubt soon be given in at least four
counties within the bounds Of our presby-
terry to vote at non-partisan election upon
the question Of licensing the liquor traffic
in these counties.
We are Of the opinion that this opportu-
nifty should be seized aud faithfully used
by all Christian and other temperance peo-
tors and elders should endeavor to help
along this effort by every proper means.
The Local Option section Of this bill, what
ever may have been the dominating mo-
tive Of its advocates in the Legislature,
does, at least, afford an opportunity TO all
voters for the expression Of sentiment upon
the liquor question, apart from all politi-
cal affiliations and We believe that such a
vote would do much to hasten better legis-
lation even though it should not at once
effect the entire prohibition of the liquor
traffic among us.
We have no reason to be discouraged in
the work Of Temperance reform in South
Jersey. There is great need Of continued
activity on tie part Of all Christian people
10 the work What we have to fear and
deprocate most. is a state Of Indifference
and luieIafmness. The liquor power
asks for nothing better At our hands than
10 be let alone, or that We simply preach
and pray aud keep Temperance out Of pol

PeIs-pictuFes.

A dainty, blue.eyed baby girl sitting for
the first time in her high chair with the
family at the stately dinner. The first
born daughter, the fathers pride, the
mothers 10y; 50 bright. 50 winning; Civ
ing such fair promise of sunny child
hood, true girlhood, and brave woman
hood. The wine is being poured, and in
childish wonder the little one, attracted by
its brilliant color, begs to be allowed to
taste IL. Not a moment does the mother
across that gaily-lghted table to warn her
Of the terrible result of that first fatal
taste. The child crows and laughs and
begs FOR more. More is given. By and by
the little one grows sleepy, and is carried
by the nursc to the couch which, years
afterward the guilty mother remember
ing, wishes had been her last esting.place.
Ten years later A young girl, with
nervous air and stealthy tread, creeping to
the locked de-board and looking for the
missing keys. Nainly she searches. With
angry irown she turns away and examines
eagerly the contents of her pocket-book.
The father, who used to be so generous
with his little daughter dares not give her
spcnding-money now. The purse is empty.
Quietly, and to avoid suspicion, she ar
ranges in the study all her materials for
paintng-for she is skilled, for one 50
young, in the use Of water-colors. Then
She creeps away to her room, and, hiding
jewel in her hand, goes secretly ont the
side door, and rushes to a pawDbroker's.
She does not stay TO argue with him,
though she knows he is cheating her, but
lurries to the nearest liquor saloon and
slips in the door above which is written
''Family Entrance" A few hours after
ward q carriage stops at her fathers man
sion, and she is borne unconscious and in
toxicated TO her daintily furnished ROOM
Two years more have drifted by. Weary,
sad, anxious years. Tears, entreaties,
threats, and promises, alike lave proved
unayailing. The mansion blinds are al
ways closed now. No laughter rings
through the halls. Only the nearest Of kin
cross the threshold
In padded, darkened room, with chains
upon the waite wrists and chains upon the
ankles, sits the fair-haired, bluc-eyed
daughter, not yet sixteen. The beauty is
faded, the face is bloated and scarlet, the
light Of reason is gone.
Sometimes She raves wildly, and begs
passionately for the poison which has
ruined her, and then they go away and
leave her alone with the misery which is
too heart breaking to witness
Again, rocking TO and fro as her mother
enters and sits beside her she means
won't you call my mother? o, I've
lost my mother! want my mother!'
In vain the mother winds her arms
around her daughter, seeking to soothe
her. In vain she calls hcr all the pet
names Of her childhood. All in vain, She
only moaus more piteously:
Eve lost my mother, o, want my
motherr
God pity her,

were. They are painted from life

me seeIaI Question

1 few random thoughts on the social
question by member of the WoOdstown
Grange. and read at one Of the literary
meetings:
As remote as tile time of Solomon the
secret disorder known IS the social evil
was problem. and it has continued m
solved up to the present day.
Exery age has felt lis curse and every
genesstion has found good men and wo-
men struggling to avert it. Through all
these thousands Of years the reformation
energy has been wasted because it has been
misdirected. There is always cause and
result. Our attention has always been Gen.
tered upon the result; there has been little
or no attempt to destroy the cause. The
great crime Of the ages has been the theory
Of the inequality Of man and woman under
tie laws Of moral and physical nature, OF
mans superiority and unaceonntability 10

measures have been directed against wo-

pravity.
Movements for the rescue Of fallen wo-
men. however charitable. benevolent. hu-
name or christian in their inception, have
invariably failed Of their broad purpose.
II has required an appalling length Of time
TO teach the world this truth or to raise up
the moral courage to proclaim it. Not un-
til the present century has society looked
sGuarely in the face Of the scarlet woman
and confessed the truth that she is an ef-
feet, not a cause; deliberate creation, not
a spontaneous growth. 1t has come to be
understood that purity ia woman presumes
virtue III man, and that man degrades wo-
man before woman drags down man.
Mothers cannot begin too early to impress
upon the boys mind the thought that PR
ity in thought, word or person is as truly his
duty rs it IS his sisters. There are, thank
heaven. men with hearts as pure as the
purest women, men who scorn coarseness
as loftily as they do dishonesty. We have

Commenting upon the probable effect
upon the liquor consumption, in Philadel-
phia, By the reduction in tho number Of
saloons under the new restrictive license
law, Bo1forfs Vine and Liquor CjrcuIor
asks: The demand being there, will the
sudden removal Of three-fourths Of the
bar-rooms make an equivalent reduction
in the consumption? Clearly the proposi-
tion is an absurdity. The demand is still
there, practically unalteTed in character
and volume, and it will simply begin to
adjust itself to the changed conditions Of
the supply. The high-priced fashionable
trade will concentrate itself at the High
license cafes. The itch barkeeper will be
made enormously richer and the poor one
poorer" This will explain why the liquor
fraternity greatly prefer "hi9h license to
prohibitory legislation.
