McCausland's Opening.

Fl. W. MoCausland's opening display
of bicy cles and sundries at Reception
hall Saturday and Saturday evening was
q grand success aud the hall was crowded
all tho time. Owing to the fact that
many people were unable to see the fine
display on account of the crowd, the ex-
hibit will be continued today, during
the day and evening. About rs wheels
were in the display, and any rider who
could not select mount fromgthe many
handsome wheels shown must indeed be
hard to suit
HASKELL g. Jones had a large booth
made Of screens in one corner of the hall
where was displayed a handsome line
OF golf and bicycle suits, and athletic
goods of all kinds. The exhibit was in
charge of Mr.. George Gould, who was
only too ready and willing to explain
the many good points about the clothing
from this well known house.
A fine orchestra of five pieces, under
the leadership of Mr.. Thomas, discoursed
sweet music afternoon and evening.
Courteous clerks were in attendance
anywhere to explain the 1uany fine
points of the various wheels, and taken
altogether it was one of the best exhibits
of the kind ever held in this city

tempt to compromise with this monster
the effort should be to overthrow the
whole miserable business. Take an illus
tration near home Certainly Massachu-
setts has tried every form Of license, and
has failed. because the principle Of lioens-
vain with this monster, and tried to tame
him, but she has failed; and from Beacon
Hill sounds out the Macedonian cry,
"Come over and help US" to poor Nor
way; and Norway answers back. across
the broad Atlantic, eve too have failed;
what can you tell us of prohibition?"
The Great Teacher would have us hate
evil and put away all unr1ghteousness;
and am thankful tonight, that my home
is in state which forbids the sale of al
ooholic drinks, making it possible, as in
my own case, to reach the age of twenty
years, without seeing liquor sold Or
drank; or ever seeing an intoxicated per-
son.
One simple and telling proof of the wis
dom and economy OF prohibition, is seen
in the::oomparison of the savings banks OF
Maine, with those of any license state.
The Maine savings banks certainly repre-
sent happier homes, and better economic
conditions than are possible in a state,
which tries to make liquor selling and H.
quor drinking respectable. I believe the
church should discuss, fearlessly, the Ii
4dOI QuoSUlOA LII ICloUAoA W oAlSbluR pO-
litica1 and economic conditions, and in
the light of gospel truth.
Let it be known that the church has
CEASED to write elaborate argumen ts
about the different kinds OF Bible wines
the wine of Cana-or Timothy's little
wine for his stomach sake That was
nineteen hundred years ago and men
we're not more infallible then than today.
Friends, the question which the church
should answer, is not how many kinds OF
wine were used nineteen hundred years
ago, but what is the need OF the world
today. Certainly mankind does not need
license or other encouragement to do
wrong, but moral purpose to hate evil
and do good.
Is it not time, that we as followers OF
the Master, known as Christians and
Christian churches should make ourselves
felt in this matter? Let the pulpit throw
aside all fear OF men, and spea k with nc
uncertain sound, and from the pews le'
there arise such grand amen, that Il
shall be heard to the farthust shores OF
atarnjty
