eudrteTly JOurH2i OF iHeDTlety.
L stated two years ago that there were
approximately 1,6OJ0OO persons who use
spirits to excess In the United States. BY
excess l meant all persons who drank to
intoxicatDon continuously or at long inter-
walls. These figures were reached from a
study of the statistics of persons arrested
for intoxication in the lower courts, also
the general opinion of persons with a wide
acquaintance among business men, who as
sert that less than per cent. of all drink
ing men come under legal notice.
OF course. wide differences of opinion will
prevail until some accurate statistics are
made. Two attempts to make census of
drinking men in Eastern towns revealed
many difficulties and the intensely morbid
desire to concea, the drinking customs of
people. Both of these censuses indicated
one drinking man TO every eighty persons
and produces a strong conviction that this
was very low proportion. There are many
reasons for believing that the estimate Of
1000, 900 persons who use spirits to excess
in this country is a minimum rather than
q maximum statement

WHAT IS DEATH2
Noted Dlvines of Chicago Interviewed On
 the Subject. After Death. what:"

The Chicago Tribune has lately interviewed the we'll known diyines of that city on the question, After Death, What?" Some of the best replies are quoted below:
 We may reasonably suppose. that going out of the body makes no change in the soul. Self conscious ness is not affected. Memory, reason, love, are the same, and we must suppose the real being has the form it had on earth--a spirit ual body and what corresponds to sight, hearing and speech In this world. There is no reason to be- lieve the body will ever rise again. The spirit has it's own body. Death is resurrection, rising, standing up in new life.-Dr. H. W. Thomas, Peoples Church.
 In the first place, death is not an entity. 1t is simply term we use to indicate the seperation of the soul from the body. The soul re- mains conscious, preserves it's identity and enters immediately up- on The life for which it is fitted, being just as much adapted to that new world or state of things as it was adapted at birth to this world, and to it's earthly condition. Of course what that new life is we do not know, but the soul is fitted or correlated to it as in this world. Bishop Fallows, Reformed Epis- copal.
 The sonality-whateyer that may be-Of each human being goes immediately after death to the place Of departed spirits, which, like this world, has various grades and divisions, and where each one
 will be in the place best fitted for
 him, as based upon his opportunities and acts in this present life. In
 this state all remains until the resur-
 retion and final judgment, the time
 of which is utterly unknown, and which, the Bible says, is Gods profoundest secret. Great changes may take place i'll the conditions of beings in that state. They may improve. They may deteriorate. We cannot have our free will, though we may terribly weaken and vititate it. After the final judgment all will be signed to heaven or hell, but there are just as many gradations there as elsewhere in God s universe. All will not be equally happy, nor all equally miserable.-Dr. Clinton,
 Locke, Episcopal.
 I understand that the future life will be in real sense the continual tion of this, in which we shall carry forward dtofullerlengthswh to we have
 here begun. do not understand that it's form and place are distinct | ly revealed or that they are impor- tant. What is important is that it is vitally connected with the present, and will be good or evil, happy or
 miserable for us, according as we live now.-Rev. Willard Scott, Con- gregational.
 The righteous go straight to heaven after death, and those who die in mortal sin go direct to hell; those who have. been guilty of only yenal offenses go to purgatory, we do not know for how long, until they are purified and fit for the kingdom of heaven. n.-Archbishop Feehan, Roman Catholic.
