have sometimes thought what a pri
vilege it would be to take Paul, the
apostle, (supposing that he were allowed
to visit New York; around the town,
and show him the 81 yhts. That which
would interest him would not be the
Brooklyn bridge, nor the elevated rail
road, but institutions which are aiming
at elevating humanity. We could take
him to hospital, and say: 'See here,
Paul; this hospital is only for little
children that are crippled and ruptured.
Here their bodies are cared for, their
minds educated, and their spiritual vel
fare looked after We could take him
Ito a score of schools of which we could
say: These are for the poor children,
whose parents are not able to give them
food sufficient to keep them in good con-
dition. Here they are taught, and here
they get at least one good meal day"
Then we could pass on to orphan
asyIums, and show him thousands of lit
tie orphans that are loved and minister
ed to by the hand of Christ's disciples
till thew are able to care for themselves.
In another part of the city we could
show him several where they care for
poor girls that have left the pathway of
virtue, and where they are received, and,
if possible, led to the feet of Him who is
able and willing to save them. We
could show him how we care for the
aged, the sick, the dying and incurable,
how we minister to the blind, to the
lunatic, to the discharged prisoner, to
the drunkard, to children Of weak intel
lect.
How long do you suppose that 1t
would take to go through New York
with Paul, and give him just glance at
each of these institutions which minister
to the wants of humanity? If he could
take in twenty-five each day, it would
take him eighteen days of hard work to
get through them all; and that would
leave all the churches and Sunday
shcools untouched. Four hundred and
fifty institutions for the relief of human
Wallis, anu uNO 1uAoACo anu AAAtJ ONN
churches, in this one city, And all
these are the result of the partial &C
ceptance Of that which Jesus offered to
the jewellers in Nazareth.
On the other hand, Paul would have
seen much to sadden him. He would
have seen seven thousand hquor-sa-
looms, many gambling places, and worse
houses, and other things that would have
made him weep. These things are the
result of rejection of that fulness of
blessing that Jesus offered to his fellow
townsmen. Yes, the world has still the
spirit that animated it in the Masters
time, and it rejoicts in its rejection of
the truth One of the saddest things that
God ever said about his people was that,
though iniquity abounded, and the
prohets propheised falsely, still my
people love to have it SO. ''-Schauffer.

A vote for license is Il most shameless
treason, treason to our homes, treason
to conscious, treason to industry, trea-
son to stars and stripes and treason to
all interests of society None can de. y
the truthfulness of this position, none
shut their eyes to the magnitude of the
evil. Who is the traitor? Lord is it'll?

The saloon is the product of Satanic
thought, expressed in human action at
the ballot box.
1t can only live by the destruction OF
human beings.
1t will go by Christian thought ex-
pressed at the ballot box.
When, will depend upon the individual
answers to the following questions:
1. Do [ want saloon to destroy me,
or any of mine?
