CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR TOPIC
For Feb. 1S-The Sin of Liquor Sell
ing: How End Its Hab. IA, 1-15.

The first step toward ending the sin OF liquor
selling is-to end it. No halfway measures eve:
checked a sin. Satan grows fat on compromises.
A gradual way to get rid of a sin is a gradual
way to sink its fastening the deeper.
1.-THE saloon is the poor mans club" some
say. quite oblivi9us to the fact that IL is club
bling the poor man to death. Don't close the
saloon" they say, It'll You have put in it's place
an equivalent, but harmless. center of amuse-
ment.' This is as IL men should refuse TO put
out a connagration till they had built f~replaces
on which the smoking brands could burn safely.
Don't attempt to carry no-license In a city,"
say others, because you can't enforce the law
IL you get it" 1t takes a majority to make a
law: does it take a unanimity to enforce it? II
we wait to pass the law till every one Is edu-
Gated in temperance. there will be no need of
the law. Prohibition doesn't prohibit?" Well.
the no-license law of a lightning rod doesn't
put an end to lightning. but my house shall
have a lightning rod just the same
THE sin of liquor-selling can never be ended"
say others. It'll all the temperance forces get
together That is not true. either. One may
use a ~bludgeon, another a pike. the third a re-
volver and the fourth a Calling gun; 1t matters
not. If only these motley weapons are turned
against the drink evil and not against one an
other, the devil will die as surely as IL they
were uniform Martini rifles. in perfect align
ment.
There Is TOO mucn pn1lOSOpnlZlnS anu not
enough classifying in this business Of ending the
liquor traffic. There Is too much planning and
not enough cunning. To find out whether a can
didate for Office is for the saloon and to vote
against him If he is-that Is the best kind OF
temperance speech. To get a young fellow who
is beginning to drink and persuade him to sign
the pledge-that is better than to write twenty
temperance articles such as this you are now
reading. BY complaints. threats. evidence and
10 force the officers of the law to en-
force the law-that is better than to organize a
new kind Of temperance society.
Courage, knights of temperance. 1t can be
done; it will be done!
Let us never forget that liquor selling is a sim
We are our brothers. keepers.
Let us never forget that liquor-drinking is a
sin Our bodies are the temples of the Holy
Ghost.
Let US never forget that the Almighty God,
ruler of heaven and earth, is opposed to sin;
and it is He. and no laundering man, who is our
captain In this warfare.
Let us make application OF that noble clause
in our Christian Endeavor pladge: Il will strive
to do whatever He would like to have me do" in
this warfare against the drink curse.
And every new allegiance to that vow will
bring measureably nearer the saloons day OF
doom. AMOS r. WELLS.

L~ANTERN-The Samaritan
A VIOLIN RECITAL.


One will ave to go back to the old Acad-
envy of Music days, when Wieniawski him.
self played here, to remember when a more
artistic violin recital has been heard in this
city thar the one given at Plymouth
Church last night by Carl Riedelsberger,
assisted by Hugh McGibeny and Guy Be-
vier Williams. And this in spite of the
fact of the mail audience and the freezing
temperature Of the auditorium. The an
nouncement that 1t would be a lecture re-
cital. conjuring the idea of a long-winded
peroration preceding each number, perhaps
kept many from attending.
The lecture" consisted of short, sketchy
three-minute prefaces to each number. for
which Mr.. Riedelsberger fittingly apollo
gized to the musicians present, for, after
all, lecture recitals mean nothing. Music
cannot be explained. The mystery is its
charm and to gain a knowledge of music is
only accomplished by the association with
things musical.

movements. allegro. romance and finale
zingara, which was the first numper on the
programme, Is a sure test Of the ability Of
any violinist, and Mr.. Riedelsberger sur
passes 1t. This concerto is music for
music's sake. 1t is music for the musician
as well as the layman. 1t stimulates
thought and ideas leading to the higher
and nobler in life. This was especially
true of the second movement, with it's
soothing melody and pulsating PM

the future OF each newborn baby boy by

Riedelsberger's playing was marked by a
tone full, round and rich and a thorough
knowledge OF all violin technique, especial
" of the harmonics that have never before
been heard here in so great variety. 1.-THE
Song of the Nightingale" by Sarsate, with
the seldom attempted MARBLE and trill In

AFTER PRIZE FIGHTERS.
Governor Mount Receiver Word from
the Sheriff.

1t is probable that the ifteen-round con-
test between Eugene Bezenah, Of Coving-
ton. KY, and Jack Prince, of Elwood,
which is scheduled to be fought this even
ing at Alexandria, under the auspices of
the Alexandria Athletic Club, will not take
place. When Governor Mount was appraised
of the affair yesterday he said the fight
would not take place in Indiana, If he could
prevent IL.
After a consultation with the attorney
general he telegraphed the sheriff of Madi-
son county that he had been informed of
the plans for the fight, and asked him IL
he needed any assistance to prevent IL.
The following reply from the sheriff, re-
ceived last evening, indicates that he will
be on hand: Telegram received. / feel

States will dictate the terms Of the d.

ager empress is not behind the rebellion
the powers will simply demand more
commercial privileges than are now

emperor is placed on the throne and a
