the county president. DR.. Wallace, of
Manchester college, read a paper on
Biblical Teachings Concerning the Tenn
perance Question" DR.. Wallace quoted
the somewhat contradictory passages in
the Bible regarding temperance, half of
which are referred to by the temperance
people as proof that the stand they
have taken is in accordance with the
Word of God and the other half being
quoted by their opponents to show the
righteousness of the latterS attitude.
DR.. Wallace said that it was true that
Christ drank wine, and also that He per-
formed the miracle which changed wa
ter into wine. The attitude of the Old
Testament in regard to drink undoubted-
~ arose the paper stated, from the fact
that the Jews were abstemious
people, taking nothing in excess. Wine
was considered gift of God. and its
use was rarely abused 1t was not until
many centuries after Christ that the
| stronger drinks were introduced and in
modern people did not use the same
moderation as the ancient races, it was
! necessary that legislation should be en-
acted against the liquor traffic.

SPEED OF OCEAN VESSELS.
During Recent Years 1T Has Been In-
screasing Mt n Rapid
Rate.

The best Atlantic running of a Ger
man mail steamer is now precisely ~
knots an hour swifter than the best
run of any British mail steamer. And
the best passage of the swiftest Brit
jsh steamer was made more than six
years ago, in June, 1895, while the best
German steamer run was completed q
few days ago. Never before in the his
tory of Atlantic steaming was the hest
sailing made under any other flag.
The Americans held the field from 1850
to 1856, but their best boat was never
more than half knot swifter thar the
best of the Cunard line. Then from 1856
to 1869 the Cunard liners were the swift
est, but their best was never more than
q knot an hour swifter than the best
Of the German steamers running dur
ing those days, says the Londo on Chron-
icle.
From 1869 to 1879 the Inman and the
White Star lines held the first place as
regards speed, but the Germans were
still close behind them. Then from
1879 to 1884 the Guion line, which might
he called half American, held the first
place with vessels which were built in
Britain, but the Cunard was close Upon
its best. Then the Cunard got its inn
ings till 1883, when the Inman again
came to the front with the swiftest
German about knot behind the bes,
Inman boat: Then the White Star got
a turn, and in 1893 the supremacy came
once again to the Cunard, and finally
in 1897 the Germans triumphed, and
have held the post of honor, as far Is
speed is concerned, ever since. But
never till now has the difference be-
tween the best German and the best
British been as much as knot and
bali an hour.
