There is today in the English-speak-

drunkenness. In it's implications and
effects it overshadows all else. It lies
at the center OF all social and political
mischief. It paralyzes energies in
every direction. It battles penal re-
form. 1t obstructs political reform.
1t rears aloft mass of evilly-inspired
power, which at every salient point
threatens social and national adv ance,
which gives to ignorance and vice a
greater potency than intelligence and
virtue can command; which deprives
the poor of the advantages of modern
progress; which debauches and de-
grades millions, brutalizing and sod
denlng them below the planes of
healthy savagery, and filing the CEN
tiers of population with creatures
whose condition almost excuses the
immortality which renders them dam
gerous to their generation. Can any
political organization be said to repre-
sent the best aspirations and the
strongest needs of the people while
this abiding source of misery, crime
and poverty is allowed to spread and
fourish?-New York Tribune.

touch of this thought. Jesus concept
ion of God is hard to reconcile with that
of the earlier Old Testament writers,
who attributed to God command TO
Abraham to worship by human sacrifice,
the hardening of Pharaos1's heart, wars
OF extermination against women and
children, and Inspiring David to sing of
dashing out infants brains against the
stones. The Christian church was hay
ing hard time in explaining these things
Id accordance with the doctrine of ver-
bal inspiration, when, under the growth
of the deeper conception of the Father
hood of God, it began to realize in the
Bible the record OF the patience of God
in dealing with the sluggish mind of
man throughout the ages. The Bible, ir
is seen, depicts the unfolding of divine
truth to the heart of humanity as time
has rolled on, progressive revelation,
not OF something outside of human life,
but OF what man was receiving into his
life from above, the STRINGS of the Spirit
of God within him. Hence there ia no
necessity for the defence of Christian
truth that all religious truth should have
been conceived OF from the first. Present
Christian thought gratefully receives as
much as is offered it and has faith to be-
lieve that even
MORE AND MORE LIGHT WILL BREAK

s. Many OF the ques tions pertaining to
things of the Future State have also been
thought through along the line of the
Divine Fatherhood. The trend of
thought seems TO be, not to set up an
arbitrary boundary for the ending of

boundary is not the ceasing of Fathers
love, of Him who, having loved His own,
loves to the end, but rather as the time
when the heart is hardened and fortified
against the Heavenly Father. The knelI
of Judgement comes to many soul, not
at death, but long before it, when the
final decision is made against the Loving
Fathers appeals. So strong is the mas
