FROM NEW YORK

A recent letter from VIM. II. Eldridge,
G. NJ, who Is employed by the Vermont
Marble company In New York, is full of
encouragement, and among the many
good things he writes of his visit to a
Swedish lodge of Good Templars. He
says "They are the best Good TeInlpars
living, earnest, intelligent, progressive.
They have a cof1ee-room, where coffee
and Swedish cake are served every
meeting at recess" Bro. Eldridge says
his visit was a very pleasant one not
withstandlng the fact that the, whole
service was conducted in their language.
The c. T. of the lodge could speak no
English, and Bro. E. could understand
little or no Swedish. Bro. Eldridge at
tends Cosmopolitan lodge in Grand
Opera hall. We hope to receive an
article for this column soon from our
absent brother.

constipation, quiets pain, cures darrhpa
and wind collie, allays feverishne~s, destroy
worms, and prevents commissions, sOothes
the child and gives it refreshing and natural

OF readings, recitation and music. One of
the chief features of the evening was the
dlstribu ion Of eggs among those present.
Each gentleman received an egg bearing
the name Of some State, while each lady
got an egg with the name of a capital it
being the object of the gentleman to pick
out the lady having the egg bearing the
name of the capital of the State whose
name he possessed. Refreshments were
then served. Afterwards the pleasant
evening was passed in the playing of
interesting games.

THE WASTE OF lNrEMPERANcE

LCOncIuleusI
Nor is this all. In the third place let
me suggest that the drink habit is the
cause of a tremendous loss or waste
of moral and spiritual power. A sound
financial condition certainly seems i'm
POI tant in the life of a people, physical
and mental vigor are indeed very essen
tial. But has not history proved that a
healthy moral and spiritual life is even
more indispensable. How great the de-
mand today for moral backbone in the
realms of business, politics, social life;
the strength to say no to the wrong
erery time, and yes to the right!
So, too, one of the crying needs of this
land and age is spiritual power, that
power which he possesses in whose life
God reigns supreme, that power which
is the mightiest charm in winning men
from sin to righteousness and fitting
them to live on earth or in the great be-
yOnd. Now does the drink habit pro
duce moral or spiritual power? 1t the
rather, as we know, paralyzes the whole
moral life. 1t cuts the nerve of spiritual
being. 1t destroys the strength of the
will, an absolute essential to any moral
action. 1t "raises into perilous activity
the dormant passions" 1t leads to in
difference as to speaking the truth; yes,
it is the gateway to manifold and hideous
crimes.
Can the man in his cups have power
with God or with men to lead them to
righteousness? Instead, a great COM
pany of men who might be mighty for
God and for the moral and spiritual
strengthening of our national life, are
utterly wasting that power which the
world so sorely needs and which they
might exercise.
Finally, the curse of drink stands for a
tremendous waste of life itself. The
population of Addison, Bennington, Cal
edonia and Grand Isle counties, COM
prisng sixty-two towns, is seventy
thousand, including men, women and
children. The mortality from alcohol
in these United States is annually that
same number of men. Is this waste
of life? What al cutlery would arise il
an equal number should suddenly be
sacrificed through some accident. And
yet this waste goes on year after veal
and we scarcely give it thought. 1t Is
not for man to say what number of thi;
yearly host are shut forever out of tLt
celestial city. The word of our Goo
solemnly declares that no drunkarC
shall inherit the kingdom Of heaven. |
is enough for us to realize that with the
ceaseless flow of the years the accurseC
habit of drink is laying waste not only
the bodies but the. souls as well of un
numbered multitudes yes, THAT not only
earth and time are the poorer thereby
but heaven and the ages of eternity.
The Waste of the Drink Habit Wht
can measure it? Is it anything to III
, that this condition exists? Have we any
possessions, any physical or menta

1 am one of a large family, and, though
crooked from my birth, l am able to per.
form the tasks given to me as well as any
of my brethren. l am of more importance
than any of my family, for, although with
out me they can perform their duty, yet
they cannot add strength or soundness to
any of it. l am useful to others also, from
the senator to the schoolboy, and, though
am sometimes avoided by little children,
yet, when they grow up, they will take me
as an assistant in all their pleasures. You
can always employ me for the completion
of your own happiness, but you can make
your friend happy without me. l take q
treble interest in all your losses and am al
ways ready to assist you.

A charming rustic beauty she,
Who wakes up with the sun,
Just as the lark's sweet mathis poured
In musical, fresh ONE.
No TWO Of stiff formalities
Her glad young life infold,
But what of that? Though simply reared,
She hath a heart of gold,
Her cheek is white as snowflakes are,
With ne'er a flaw or mote,
Her - THREEs "a soft, green, vandyked
ruche-
Clasp close her dainty throat,
And as in dreams / see her now,
So fair, though plainly dressed,
My heart, to beauty long so cold,
Four warmly in my breast
And sore l sigh the dreary FIVE
OF winter months before
walk the fragrant fields in spring
And see her face once more.
But May will soon roll round again
In times swift onward whirl,
Then. little daisy, sweet field flower,
Wilt be my "summer girlY"
