cism, from the old Puritanical New
Englanders. fifty or sixty years ago,
Is given in the current New England
Magazine. Against all foreigners was

against the people who were not only
"Papists" in religion but who belonged

Il have looked up some statistics in
the city of Duluth, which show in II
way how drunkenness is associated
with crime. In the year 1894 there
were 2,7G6 arrests made and of that
number 1918 We're for being intoxicat-
ed. In connection with that 1t may be
interesting to know how the different
nationalities are represented in these
figures. In the whole number 1 must
acknowledge that the Irish head the
list. OF the number brought up IN
court 535 We're Irish or ut least

pie came next with 800 and the Cana.
dians, Swedes, Finlanders and Scotch
followed with n scattering amongst
the rest Of the nations. Just why the
Irish should have such large follow
ing in this class Is difficult to answer.
1t is said that person when arrested
for intoxication often gives an Irish
name, but allowing for that the Irish
representation is clearly out Of pro-
portion to its population here. One
thing that I noticed particularly was
that very few colored people are ar
rested for this offense."
Individual work must be done by
all those interested in total abstinence
if the cause is to succeed" remarked
the bishop in closing.

Mr.. Davitt, however, makes independ-
ent calculations, and he places the
available fighting strength Of the two
republics at $1,000 men, and he saws
that Mt no time was that number un-
der arms.
Mr.. Davitt sums up the Information
contained in the Lansdowne secret cir
cular rs follows: I've have it fully
and clearly shown, therefore, in this
secret document: First, that the Eng
lish war Office knew before June.
1899, what force of burghers, and
what probable number OF. colonial reb-
els, the two republics could place in
the field in the event of war; second,
the correct number OF rifles and of ar
tillery and the amount of ammunition
in possession of the Beers, together
with the knowledge that this ammu-
milton was purchased in the United
Kingdom, and that a proportion Of the
arms for the Transvaal were supplied
and shipped from England; and third,
that all these ornaments and prepara-
tions on the part of President Kruger
commenced, after the date of the jane
son raid, and were, therefore, the re-

In the first four months of the war
the British were beaten at every point.
Methuen, Gatacre and Butler were de-
feated at three different points and
their armies We're held at a. standstill.
Mafeking, Kimberly and Ladysmitih
were besieged effrctually, and the en-
tire military campaign on the British
side was brought to a state of paraly-
sis. And all this was accomplished
by an armed force of less than 10000
men extended from the extreme west

a few miles of the sea. Meanwhile
every English general, colonel and ma

The Bible on 1mper,,,i.rn.

Imperialism finds no warrant in the
Bible. The command, eco We into all
the world and preach the gospel to
every creature" has no Gatling gun at
tachment. When Jesus visited q vii
lage Of Samaria and the people refused
to receive him, some of the disciples
suggested that fire should be called
down from heaven to revenge the in
suit; but the Master rebuked them and
said: Eye know not what manner of
spirit ye are Of; for the Son of Man
Is not come to destroy mems lives. but
to save them" Suppose he had said:
I'VE will thrash them until they un-
derstand who we are, ,"show different
tianity! Compare, if you will, the
would have been the history of Chris
staggering, bullying, brutal doctrine
of imperialism with the golden rule
and the commandment, "Thou shalt
love thy neighbor as thyself."
Love, not force, was the weapon of
the Nazarene; sacrifice for others, not
the exploitation of them, was His
method of reaching the human heart.
A missionary recently told me that the
stars and stripes once saved his life
because his assailant recognized our
flag as a flag that had no blood up
on it.
Let it be known that our missionar-
les are seeking souls instead of SOW

of being the advance guard Of con-.
quering armies, they are going forth
to help and uplift, having their loins
girt about with truth and their feet
shod with the preparation Of the gos-
pei Of peace, wearing the breastplate
Of righteousness and carrying the
sword of the spirit; let it be known
that they are citizens of a nation
which respects the rights of its citi-

A story with a Moral.

At a gay party, the other night,
claret punch was served. One young
man declined it. Several of his neigh
bors rallied him on his abstemious.
ness. Still he refused to drink. Then
the daughter of the house, in honor OF
whose birthday the entertainment was
given, exclaimed, "I'll make him
take It," -. e..
So she filled glass and presented
it to him herself, saying:, Drink it
for mev' ~s' = .s:-s-
mo, thank you." he replied.
"Now dor she urged him, "as a
favor to me on my birthday"
"Please don't press me," he said,
''as have made promise not to
drink"
"Oh, do" came from some one on
the right. "a little wine won't hurt
yeu," said some one ON the left. ''This
doesn't count" chimed in some one
else.
Still he refused, embarrassed but DO
litely and quietly firm.
The daughter of the house turned
away from him in displeasure and
some OF. the others present murmured
at his obstinacy, when the head of the
house, who had become aware of the
incident, Joined the group and said:
-. Il admire your grit, Fred; you are
made of the right metal"
After the party the head of the
house said to the daughter:
why did you persist in asking
Fred to take the punch? Don't you
know that his father fills drunkard's
grave, and over the corpse the lad
was made by his mother to vow never
to taste drop Of intoxicating drink ?
He is the most agreeable young man
that know, and he must have had
hard battle to keep his word tonight.
Thank God that he. remained the vic.
tor. I would not have had you to be
the means to make him break his
promise for all the world.''
There were tears in the eyes of the
girl as she answered.:

have asked him. On, I'm so sorry"
