SOME TWOS.

There are two sides to every
question: right side and wrong
side. There are two roads open to
every individual-one leads to es-
TEEN, virtue and honor, the other
to sin, immortality and overthrow
All men may be reckoned in tN o
general classes-builders and dc
stroyers. There are two systems
of education in this country, the
one tends to the development of
the intellect, the cultivation of the
moral faculties and the symmctri
cal unfolding of the entire man;
the influence of the other system
antagonizes the first, dwarfs the
intellect, paralyzes the moral sem
sibilities and smothers the highes t
and noblest attributes of the same.
And finally, as fitting close to ali
these dual systems of right and
wrong, building and tearing down,
we have opened to us but two ways,
a narrow way and a broad way
leading to the final assize.

The miracles of Jesus Christ wer,
well called signs" by Himself and Is,
Others. That is precisely what the,
we're, and nothing more,-outward
and visible signs of great spiritua
realities. No man showed SO clearly
the worthlessness of miracles as Jesn,
Christ showed il. Beyond very linn
tied line he made no account OF them
and how properly so is evident enough
Jesus healed lame man, but what oi

quick word2 Is il not mocking man
to raise him from the dead, when he
must die again III a war from which
there is no discharge? We saw that
Christ suspended the laws of nature
but we forget TO add that nature
showed herself greater than all hei
laws by resuming everything that had
momentarily been taken from her do
minion. The lame man was restored,
but in the long run nature smote him
with deadlier infirmity. The dead
body was terminated, but nature
waited and won. Let this be thought
fully observed, as showing the worth
lessness of the physical wonders which
once made men wild with much as
tonishment. Jesus Christ did no
physical miracle which remains until
this day: lameness, blindness, deaf
ness, are still at hand, and the sea is as
noisy as If he had never spoken TO il.
In effect, Jesus said about His own
mighty signs and wonders: "You see
that these things do not satisfy YOU.

1t is somewhat singular that in.
telligent men cannot come to an
understanding of tke relations o.
the federal government to tho
saloons, after the tax law ha:
been in operation so many
years. Lebanon has Just had
n wransle over this mixed point
The general government receives
IN round numbers $l00.000.00
But before we go into cestacv over
the wonderful income from the
liquor traffic, it would be wise to
inquire what it costs us. The peo-
pie are the government. We get
100000, 600 as our share of the
profits of this business, but it costs
us $900.000,000. The liquor traffic
gets no privileges from the federal
government except that of paving
this S10o,000,000 tax. 1t receives
its license to do business from the
laws of the States and under these
through municipalities. Where no
such laws exist-as in Maine, Kan
sas and Iowa, and in local option
communicable Supreme Court
has decided, over and over again,
In different cases, that the United
States laws cannot confer any such
right. 1t is tax law purely, and
finding the business in operation
under the local law, takes away
this S100,00o,000 from its profits.
which, were it not for this tax,
would 70 into the pockets Of the
salooa keepers. It eonfers no rights
or franchises upon them. but i'm
poses 4 penalty upon those they
.already have under the local law.
1T is IN the natnre of a restriction
and penalty. 1t does not and
connot authorize the sale in the
smallest village or country town
where prohibition or local option
exists, which opposes a limit to the
power of the great government of
this country.
The licensing of the sale of liquor
Is State matter wholly. But the
business once licensed, Congress
steps in and imposes a special tax
upon it, and to the extent of $780,
100000 annually, and to that ex-
tent eripples it. The cost to the
country and the evil results would
be the same if no federal states
existed; but the government-the
people-have returned to them one
ninth of the cost as above esti-
mated without conferring any adj
ditional privileges whatever upon
the business. This is all there is
to the question out of which some
people continue to make so much
controversy and upon which the
sentiment Of the people is divided.

Next to the religious statistics OF
the country, we are interested in
those Of cducation. The common
schools are the basis Of our cduca.
tional system. They are in some
respects the hope and glory Of the
land. First, do re realize what an
army of children there is in our
comtrs-chillren in the plastic
period of hfe-who are being
moulded for the responsibilities of
citizenship2 Statistics before US

tween . and Ii years of age is H.

each! And they are marching ON
rapidly To take possession Of the
ballot, and TO control the destinies
of the country. Yes, one-fifth of
our whole population is i'm school.
How important, then, the charac-
Ter If the schools. Second, hy
whom are these children tauglltg
Figures which are at hand show
that they are taught by 347 ,292
teachers, of whom 81 per cent. are
males and 36 per cent. are women.
Our public schools are often de-
nounced as goddess. But though
there are formal religious services
in very few of them, they are
largely pervaded by the spirit OF
the gospel. This will be evident
when we consider few facts: First,
as rule our local school boards
are composed of the best men in
the locality. There is no salary.
The position gives no opportunity

they are Christians, for that fact
may not even be known, but be-
cause they are such men as Chris

goddess men and women. Ii is
wanting in the kind Of excitement
that they love. But ii is attrac-
tive to pious men and women who
realize that every child is inmor-
tai, and that much can be done i'm
the school room to influence its
character and destiny. And finally
we are hopeful III regard to our
schools because 50 large a proper
