RESCUED FROM DROWNING.

The Presence of Mind of Mr.. N. p. Robin
son Saves Two Young Lives.
By the courage and prOmptness of our
well known citizen, Mr.. N. P. Robinson,
two young boys were rescued from a
watery grave on Saturday of last week.
1t seems that Vernon Kilburn, age 3
years, and Newton Whitney aged 3 years,
were at Mr.. RObinsOn's mill pond playing
near the water and fishing, in company
with two other young boys of about the
same age.
Vernon and Newton in some manner
fell into the pond, and in their struggles
to get to the land only made their way
into deeper water; while their compan-
ions realizing the great danger they
were in and not knowing what to do,
began to cry, aud attracted the attention
of Mr.. Robinson who was short distance
from the pond.
In nearing the pond to ascertain the
cause OF their cries, he discovered the
boys near the center of the pond floating
with their faces downward. Without
waiting to discard any of his clothing,
Mr.. Robinson plunged into the water,
which at this time of the year is from
six to eight feet deep, and brought out
the kilburn boy, who after few
moments was able to walk home, and on
bringing out the Whitney boy, found
that he was very near deaths door and
had to be carried home.
The Kilburn boy has fully recovered
from The effects of his fright and exper-
lence, but the Whitney boy is still quite
Ill, from his narrow escape from drown
ing.
The parents of these young boys must
feel very greatful to Mr.. Robinson, fOr
his timely rescue, and we congratulate
him for his presence Of mind, and his
promptness of action, in saving these
two young lives, as they would have been
in "a very few moments, beyond any hui
man assistance.

The chairman of the "Keely Leag ue,"
Colonel Nate Reed, says: that the Keely
cure has decreased the receipts OF the
liquor dealers more than $20,000,000
annually" 1t is stated upon good auth
ority that the organization OF the anti
saloon League" in the District Of Column
bia has brought about an annual de-
crease in the number Of arrests of 1866
and has greatly contributed toward max
ing social drinking unpopular. This
temperance movement is the cause OF
much alarm 10 the salOOnist. Ii the
Christian voters of this nation could be
IA thoroughly alarmed concerning the
interests of the church and home, what
might we not hope for in the way of
temperance reform. Mrs. LenOra M.
Lake, in al address at the recent Nat
ional and state Anti-salOOn congress
said: "If were man, would not want
to meet my God knowing that my bal
lot had favored the American saloon"
There are to-day 1928 christian
ministers in the United States, 1864
church organizations, and 25,9l9027
members, according to the New York
Independent. Opposed to this tremen-
drious army there are 230,479 liquor
dealers, wholesale and retail, including
brewers and distillers. What would
happen if the more than 25,000,000 of
the church members were to give their
attention for one year to annihilating
the rum traffic. The saloons, On mod
crate calculation, rob each church of
two members per year, either by pre-
venting men from joining or causing
them to backslide after uniting. This
amounts to over 800, 900 members lost to
the church by the rum traffic each year.
Truly the open saloon is the great foe
of the church. Suppose there are ten
saloons in a town, in matters effecting
the interests they are unit. Suppose
there are ten churches in a town, Oh the
question of civil righteousness they are
ten units, consequently the saloons run
the town. The one is united for money
the Lother is separated through lack of
wisdom, jealously OF selfshness, yet the
people wonder why SO little headway is
made against the saloon. Thus you see
the necessity of action in order to sue
ceed.
