Memorial Convention Life Membership

Memorial Convention Life Membership
The national convention just closed
was a significant and memorable one
of which we will have more to say
later on. There is every evidence to
believe that the future OF our organ
ization will be as greatly blessed Of
God as has been the past, and that
its next decade will be marked by a
grand increase of membership as well
as by strengthening of the principles
for which the society came into being.
The members seem to have received
at this memorial convention baptism
Of the crusade spirit and they have
gone forth with renewed faith and
courage along all lines. We believe
it will prove to be no injury that the
National w. C. T. U. felt obliged, after
eleven years of heroic struggle, to dis
continue the temple as an affiliated in
terest. A marked feature of the con-
rention was inaugurated by Miss Anna
Gordon when she spoke feelingly OF
Mother Thompson OF .Hillsboro, O., and
made her life member of the National
w. c. T. u, at this its crusade ami
versary. She was quickly followed by
Mrs. L. NJ. N. Stevens, who made
Mother Stewart of Springfield, O., a
life member. Mrs. Hoffman did the
same for Mother Wallace, and Others
followed in quick succession until
there are now fifty-one. The father
and mother of Miss Willard we're made
memorial members. 1t is believed thai
many more will be named by their
friends. The thought is that all who
come into life membership by the pay
ment of twenty-five dollars at any
time during this the twenty-ffth veal
of the organization, shall be called Me.
mortal Convention Life Members, and
we believe that a silver offering fol
five hundred life members may thus
come into furnish the sinews Of oul
peaceful war.-Union Signal.

George Gissing, who will reside per-
manently in Worcestershire, is writing
a book on the critics of Magma Graecia,
using the material that he collected on
his recent travels in Italy.
Frederick Harrison, the English
writer, has figured it out the Queen
Christina of Spain is a descendant or
William, Prince Of Orange, the most
inyeterNte enemy Snain ever had, In
his time the Professionals of Great Brit
ain supported him against the tyranny
Of Spaia. Today another branch of the
same race espoused the cause OF the
victims of Spanish oppression, while, II
Mr.. Harrison Is right, the blood OF VIII
liam tina Silent flows in the veins OF the
royal representative Of that oppression.
The Luxembourg has acquired pic
ture, the work of young American
negro Mr.. Tanner, who has also pic
ture in the Paris salon, and has de-
termined to assert that, although COL
ored people had made little progress in
the direction of art hitherto, they
would appeal to the future Of the ar
tistic world Mr.. Tanner was the son
Of a colored minister, who was anxious
that his son should follow in his foot
steps, but the young man determined
on painters career and said he would
do as much for Christianity with his
brush as he would by preaching. HIS
pictures have hitherto been always
painted on a religious theme, the one
in the salon representing the annun-
citation.
Art circles OF Europe are much
shocked and excited over the sad death
in Rome of Prof Frederick Geselschap,
a German painter of international
fame. Prof. Geselschap had been for
some time in Rome, engaged on i'm
portant state orders for the Italian gov
ernmenY. He was in wretched health
and fea;ing that the work undertaken
y (mural paintings for the Vatican were
among the orders) would be too much
for his strength Prof. Geselschap's
mind gave way under the strain. He
had been missing from his home IN
Rome for several days and was finally
found hanging from a tree in grove
On the banks of the Tiber. There Is no
doubt that the eminent artist commit
ted suicide.

New Wine.

In the Union Signal Of Nov. rel
ence is made to Christ's words, i VIII
not drink henceforth Of this fruit Oh
the vine until that day when drink
it new with you in my Fathers king
DOM" The fact that Christ uses the
word new Tin Greek kainen) proves
conclusiyely that the wine OF COM
munion was azymous wine. new Wihe'
sweet and sacred, made the festal token
of a heavenly renewal Of divine lei
lowship.
New wine is oinos neos in Greek,
vinum mustum in Latin, and must III
German. and means, according to the
Imperial dictionary, wine pressed
frcm the grape but not fermented'
therefore not intoxicating. 10 say
that new wine is not wine, is as absurd
as to say a new bottle is not bottle
During the history of the Christian
church, probably no doctrine has peeh
more productive of infidelity and Oh
intemperance than the false, presump-
tuous assumption that the gallons OF
wine made by Christ for free distribu-
ton at Cana were fermented and IN
toxicating.
The late Abraham Coles, A. NJ. M.
D. Phi. D., LII. D., in his Life OF Our
Lord" q standard authority to be
found in the principal public libraries
of Europe and America, says: Taking
our stand on the immovable rock OF
Christ's character we risk nothing in
saving that the wine of miracle an
swered to the wine of nature, and was
not intoxicating. No counter proof
can equal the force of that drawn from
His attributes. His character is ev-
erything far more than doubtful phil
ology. The wine CT nature is the wine
of the cluster, holy and life-giving, the
type of all nourishment, and the type
of salvation. The wine of art is not
this. 1t represents evil rather than
good. 1t is better fitted to typify de-
struction than creation. 1t is less a
making than an unmaking. Alcohol
is unmade sugar. Men brand it poi
son.
ut is a good reason for abstinence
If our use is others misuse, if it mere
ly lends sanction to dangerous GUS
! tom.
There is a difference in tolerance.
Alcohol is slowly induced in some, in
some rapidly. We blame the drtnk-
ard, but why? He cannot help the
thirst that dominates over him; but
he could have helped that rash tam
pering with the cause that produced it,
and for this he is responsible. The
folly and the guilt lie in the tamper-
ing, all the rest is law.
"The first step in an, attempted ref
ormation must be the removal of the
appetite, and nothing will do this but
an entire abstinence from its provoca-
tive and inducing causes. This is
common sense, and gospel, too"
Christianity, in the sense of Chris
tian love- fulhlls all claims, abstinence
among the rest.-A Reader Of the
Union Signal.

Its Prood of Crimes.

"Intemperance is the source of nearly
all our crimes and misfortunes. Thou
sands Of premature graves tell of its
,avages. Our warehouses are thronged
with victims. It's baleful tyranny is
examining our goals with criminals.
The deep wall Of wee, the moan of de-
spair that bursts continually from
wretched homes, tell of misery through
the land which God alone can meas
ure."-Cardinal McCabe.
Every one knows that for one man
who is arrested for drunkenness there
are at least ten-and often twenty
who go home intoxicated. In London
there are 1900 drink shops, and every
year 10000 persons are arrested for
drunkenness. In the united kingdom
there are 10000 public houses, and
every year there are 100000 arrests for
drunkenness. If we allow six drunk
ards to each house, or five habitual
drunkards for one arrested for drunk
| enness, we should arrive at total OF
| 100000 adults who are more or less
prisoners Of the publican.-Gen. Booth.
The labor employed in producing
drink, in the growth Of the grain, IN
preparing it for destruction, in brew
| ing and distilling; in short, in the en-
| tire manufacture, carriage and sale OF
| these liquors, is utterly unproductive.
1t is wholly unproductive of the things
which can be justly called wealth. The
labor expended upon them adds nothing
! to the wealth of the community, to
i the means OF subsistence, or the
sources Of true enjoyment; but, on the
contrary, it produces what is positive
| ly injurious to all the interests Of hui
manity.-Adam Smith.
| Drunkenness Is not only the cause
Of crime, but it is crime; and II any
encourage drunkenness for the sake OF
the profit derived from the sale OF
drink they are guilty Of form of moral
assassination as criminal as any that
has been practiced by the braves OF
any country or Of any age.-John
Ruskin.
No man has a right to use his prop
erty in such a manner as shall injure
the life or property OF another, and the
consent of the party injured is no mitl'
cation of the offence.-BlackStone.
