to and some of the boys own some

some owners of lots in Spring Valley

The Abstainer's Greed.

| L believe That the Demon vi oIAOhS
Drink is the gigantic foe of God and
man; that it ruins man alike for hap
piness on earth and blessedness in
heaven; and that two thirds of all the
pauperism, crime, and woe of earth
may be traced to him as his progeny;
that be was conceived of Satan, born
of the depraved appetites of men, and
inflicts only suffering upon his victim;
that under his rule reason is crucified,
love dies, and conscience is buried;
that man decends into hell even up
on the earth, and has no resurrection
| for his manhood nor redemption for
his enslaved soul but in the power of
God; that no drunkard can enter into
the kingdom of God or abide His pres
ence who shall come to judge the liv-
| ing and the dead.
believe il the saving and keeping
power of the Holy Ghost; that the
whole catholic Church should unite to
assault and overthrow this awful traf-
| fic in strong drink, and deliver human
ity from the curse of the drink-habit;
that the only salvation for humanity
is in uncompIomising total abstinence
for the individual, progressive prohi-
bition for the community, and, above
all, the embrace OF the Gospel of
| Christ, who alone can redeem body
and soul from the slavery of sin and
thrill us with the power of life ever.

Chance in Social Customs

A Change in Social Customs.
Time is making great changes in the
ideas of temperance.
About the time Columbus set out on
his voyage of discovery, social custom
in England did not allow the drinking
of water, except as penance.
There was also a time when one
might be a member of a temperance
society, in good standing, on pledge
not to drink more than sixteen glasses
of wine day!
My homeless friend, with tie chro-
matte nose while you are stirring up
the sugar in that ten-cent glass of gin,
let me give you fact to wash down
with it. You say you have longed for
years for the free, independent life of
the farmer, but could never get money
enough together to buy the farm.
But this is just where you are mis-
taken. For several years you have
been drinking good improved farm
at the rate of 100 square feet at a
gulp.
If you doubt this statement, figure
it out for yourself. An acre of land
contains 43, $50 square feet. Estimat-
ing, for convenience, the land at
1886 per acre, you will see that it
brings the land to just one mill per
square foot, one cent for ten square
feet. Now pour down that fiery dose
and imagine you are swallowing a
strawberry patch! Call in five of
your friends and have them help you
gulp down 500 foot garden! Get on
a prolonged spree some day, and see
how long a time it requires to swallow
pasture, big enough to feed a COW!
Put down that glass of gin; there's
dirt in it--l00 square feet of good rich
dirt, worth S43.56 per acre.--Bob Bar
dette.
