And yet great deeds are few. The miEhtieSt men

With foam and fash and roar.

But the clear stream that through the meadow

Better the steady flow The torrents dash
Soon leaves its rent track dry.

But the sweet sunshine. whose unfallng ray,
From It's calm throne Of blue, lights every day.
The sweetest lives are those to duty We'd

The great statesman and equally
great infidel, Bob G. Ingersoll, recent
ly said: "If man will drink let him
take the consequences" This is a
very easy way of throwing the respon-
siqility on the saloon victim. But
does not Mr.. Ingersoll, and all who
think like him, know that in ten
thousand cases the husband takes the
fiery drink, and wife and children take
the fearful consequences The bad
man drinks, and the good woman is
murdered. The engineer is dazed,
and the train is wrecked. The pilot
gets drunk and the ship goes down.
Drink makes criminals, and society is
corrupted. 1t makes paupers, and So
Der men have to lug them along OH
their backs. 1t is bad enough to be a
religious hereto; but it is dOubly bad
to be u hereto also on the current re-
form of the age.--W. @. Z. U. Column

A committee of Senators has been
investigating cigarette smoking. As
a result, they make IA report to the
United States Senate that they deem
cigarettes of any kind iDjurious--par-
ticularly to youths: they urge that
Congress should prohibit the importa-
ton of cigarettes and forbid their sale
or manufacture in the District of CO.
lumbia and the Territories. This
should be taken as a suggestion by
those States that do not already pro-
hibit the sale of cigarettes to boys.

DIR. Cuyler, who has had forty years
experience in earnest Temperance
work, says:
There is too much reliance on leg
islation to remove the terrible curse,
and there is too little moral and edu-
cational effort to break up the drink
ing usages. We need more of the old
fashioned total abstinence Organiza-
tions, and more suasion work in pull
pits, Sunday schools, and press and
platform. There is not enough moral
steam to drive our machinery. We
must fight the battle in social life as
well as the accused saloons. Millions
of dollars are being made by medi-
cines and nostrums for curing drunk
enness,' but very little money is spent
III teaching people not to drink at all.
Total abstinence as prevention is
worth all the nostrums yet invented.
Gods voice to his Church now is to
grapple with the monster, with the
weapons of pledge and prayer, argu-
ment and votes"
Under the rather startling but really
appropriate caption of the "Devil's
missionary enterprise" showing is
made of the quantities of Intoxicating
liquor that went to the Western and
Southern portion of Africa in one week
recently, in vessels sailing from Amer

sells all stop at the Isle of MADEIRA and
record of cargoes is made there. In
the week referred to land it was not
an exceptional week. there went to
Africa 100000 cases of GIN, 100000
demijohns of rum, $4,000 barrels OF
rum, q, 900 butts of rum, 10000 cases
of brandy, $4,000 cases of whisky, and
other intoxieants in considerable
quantities, the value of the whole, ex-
pressed in American money, being

There are some who shrink from I'M
dertaking the work which the Master
gives them to do. They are not
worthy; they have no skill nor power
for the delicate duty; but to all their
timid shrinking and Withdrawing the
Masters gentle, yet urgent, word is:
"Do your best" They have only to
kneel in lowly reverence, and pray,
for the beloved Masters sake, for skill
and strength for the task assigned, and
they will be inspired and help to do it
well. The power of Christ will rest
upon them, and the love of Christ will
be in their heart; and all work done
under this blessed inspiration will be
acceptable unto God. We have but
truly to lay the living sacrifice upon
the altar: then God will send the fire.

The facts relating to the liquor
traffic in Kansas have recently been
investigated by a representative OF
the New York Daily Times. He
gives as his belief resulting from this
investigation-first, that prohibition
is a fixture in Kansas; second, it is
reasonably enforced for there is not
an open saloon in the State outside of
four of the large cities. In Topeka
the law is absolutely enforced.
