the lives Of millions upon millions
t is the Christian faith and the
Christian hope that bring the lar
gest share Of such contentment rs
they have. The unquestioning be-
lever never feels the loneliness of
isolation; he never lacks the comfort
that arises from eternal hope; in sick
ness and in sorrow and at the gates
of death his faith supports him as by
while beyond the darkness of the
fleeting moment there is always seen
the golden glimmer of that eternal
promise on which his soul relies for
ever" Prof. Peck well says that in
the effort to destroy this faith which
gives serenity and happiness there is
something little less than devilish. ="
And this remark has special force
when you remember the atheist has
NOTHING TO OFFER
in the place of what he seeks to deS-
troy. What have you gained when
you have taught the supplemented
man to look with doubt and serious
mistrust upon the volume whence
from childhood he has drawn lis
motives for an upright, honest, hon
orable life? Will you supply an
ethical system of your own? This you
may try to do as Col. Ingersoll; for
he at times put forth some general
tiles on the value of good works and
good will toward men; yet when you
have succeeded in destroying that
belief which gives vitality to moral
teaching it is never easy to build up
a substitute; and il men find it diff
cult to accept the doctrine of an
omniscient deity, they will find it
quite as difficult to pin their faith to
Omniscient Ingersoll."

In view of the celebrity of the CAGE.
ana the fact that it has been five
years since Dreyfus was convicted,
degraded and transported to Devils
Island to serve a life sentence in
! solitary confinement, it will be of in
! terest to briefly review the origin and
pragress OF the cause up the time of
his spOrtatiOn. The facts subse-
1uent to that event are matters of
such recent history that they need
not be rctOld The details as re-
counted below were secured last Jan
uary by Robert II. Shcrard for Nc
Clure's Magazine. Mr. Sherard visit
ed Paris for the purpose of the in
4ulry- and exhausted all available
sources OF correct information. What
he says, therefore has the combined
merits Of authenticity and non
partisanship.
THE FIRST OF TIE CASE.
On NOvcmbcmbcr 2S, 1891. III.
EdoHard Drum0nt, editor of La Libre
Parole, OF Paris, received an anOnv-
nous letter announcing that an
officer had been arrested for high
| treason On the 10Th an ambiguous
note appeared in that journal asking if
1t were true that an important arrest
had recently taken place.
Excitement in Paris was at fever
| pitch when, on November ,, the
name OF the officer who had been
arrested was made public. 1t was
learned for the first time, although
his arrest dated from October Ii, ,
that Capt. Alfred Dreyfus. Of the
Fourteenth Regiment Of Artillery,
was the man charged with the terri
! bic crime of high treason.
At that time it was currently re-
ported that the foreign Government
with which Dreyfus tratlicked was
the Italian Government. and though
since then it has been stated, and is
generally accepted that it was with
Germany that these dealings took
place, no actual information on the
subject has ever been given. From
the very beginning, and with one ex-
ception only, Il policy of absolute
secrecy has been observed by the
| successive French ministries, for, as
NJ. Meline pointed out in the Senate,
any indiscretion on this subject might
entail the gravest consequence on the
nation.

Some Startling Figures.

AS is well known, last Sabbath
was set apart by the worlds Sun
day school congress for special in
struction in temperance. 1t was
generally observed and pupils as
well as instructors learned many
new truths about intemperance.
AS figures are not at all sentiment
al, the following culled from the
Worlds Almanac and presented at
the First Congregational Church
of this city are well worth pass
ing thought. Moralists, fanatics
and all sorts Of enthusiasts talk,
but not so loudly as do these fig
ures. The figures quoted are
startling and almost incredible.
They showed that the amount
spent tor bread, according to the
census of 1880, was S505, 900, 900,
meat, 5000, 100000 and strong
drink, S9O0,OOO,OOO This shows
that we spend more money
for strong drink than we do for
bread and meat combined. Another
point made by the figures shows
that because OF this vast amount
of money spent for liquor there
are 800 suicides, 100000 criminals
200, 900 paupers, 100000, deaths,
600.000 drunkards.
If these figures are correct-and
they are not questioned-it is not
surprising that those who make
the question a study are becoming
alarmed at the situation. The
Paris Figaro was lately lamenting
drunkenness in France, and from
figures similar TO the ones quoted
above predicted the rapid deteri-
Grafton of the French people and
the downfall of the nation. The
situation in this country is not SO
alarming, but it is bad enough.
The fact that the life insurance
companies invariably ask the ques-
tion of the applicant whether he is
addicted to strong drink proves
that such companies do not con-
slider ii a good risk where the ap-
plicant is addicted TO the use Of
intoxicants. Railroads are begin
ming to see the evil effects ofstrong
drink and many companies will
not allow their employees to use
liquor in any shape.
If they are seen entering place
where it is sold they are discharged
This, OF course, is for the purpose
of protecting the lives of their pat
rons. Some railroads are not so
strict, but they are becoming more
so every year. Temperance peo-
pie alone can be assured Of long
levity. The nation is the same as
the individual. If France has
need to look with alarm upon the
consumption of liquor, the United
States may soon have cause for
similar apprehension. : Spring
