AGENTS TESTIFY.

Arthur and Claude Whitney and
Eugene Winfield said they bought beer
and liquor in the saloon of Frank No
wiclii on Sunday, November Il. The ac-
cused did not put in Il denial to the
testimony, but his attorney, NJ. j. Dona-
hue, stated to the court that it was a
matter for the discretion of the court
and that some of the courts have held
that an exceptional or occasional vio-
lation of the law is not sufficient cause
10 revoke a license. TO the discretion
of the court he appealed believing that
the respondent was entitled TO the rea-
sonable doubt, if the judges found such
in considering the evidence.
Il believe it is in the discretion of the
court to say whether or not they shall
revoke u license" concluded Mr.. Dono-
hue.
Mr.. Beers. of counsel for the league,
took issue with him on this. The Su-
preme court. he contended, has held
that the act with reference to the re-
voking of licenses is mandatory.
Judge Edwards said that While he
does not agree with the Supreme court,
its decision is that il II judge believes
from the evidence that there has been
Il Nioh'lioii vi tilc ii'tiiSc laws, it HIS
no choice but revoke the license.
When the case of Patrick DiSkin, of
Minooka, was called his attorney, Mr..
DOnOhuc. raised the point that Diskin
has been in New York state ana has
not been served personally. The court
held that Il man is entitled to II per-
sonal service unless il is shown that lie
is trying TO avoid the process of the
court. The case was continued to per-
nit OF personal service.

GODS MESSAGE TO MAN
PREGNANT THOUGHTS FROM TIE
WORLDS GREATEST PROPHETS.

Your Choice-Character Attained Only by

Why ouell the good each soul may win,
Why lose all hopes of heaven here?
Peace like river flows serene
Beside the path the righteous tread;
Joy, as the sunshine, gilds each scene
And falls with blessing on his head.
Yet where the evil-minded 60
Sharp thorns of selfshness prevail,
And want and misery and woe
The wretched sinner shall assais
Oh, mortal, wake; too soon thy soul
All chance for good shall see no more,
While evil deeds with vengeance roll
To scourge the guilty DER and Ger,
Arouse ye, seek the narrow way
By all the wise for ages trod;
Seek paths of pleasantncss that lay.
Through fields of virtue up to God.

not wage formal combats. The one

Honeymoons Awheel.

Much interest was taken recently In
a marriage solemnized at Christ
Church, Guildford, England, in which
a motor car played a prominent part.
The bride was a well-known Guildford
lady, while the bridegroom carries on
business in Worthing as a maker OF
cycles and motor apparatus. The
gentleman, accompanied by his best
man, drove up to the church in su-
perb motor car, and Immediately after
the ceremony the happy pair started
straightway for their honeymoon on
the motor, their first stopping place
being Worthing.
A similar honeymoon took place in
France not long ago. when a wealthy
and eccentric baker espoused the
daughter of a provincial farmer. The
wedding was solemnized in Rouen,
the girls native town. and from that
place motor car conveyed the couple
to Paris. The affair caused much eX.
element in the districts through
which the honeymooning pair passed,
and large crowds turned out to cheer
them as their car dashed through the
country lanes and roads.

RelirIon Not Something Apart.

Religion is not something apart from
life; it is not something for Sunday, al.
though there would be little religion if
there were no Sunday. Religion is not
primarily for wasted energies and tired
nerves nor for the sick chamber and the
deathbed. Religion, at its best, is life at
it's fullest and best; it is its animating
purpose, its consecrating energy. 1t gives
man an ideal worth striving for, one as
full of inspiration as the sun is of light,
and helps him so to marshal and direct
his powers that he can attain it. When a
man says that he has not time for religion
be confesses that he has not time to cher
ish the best of which he is capable. Most
Of the service rendered to God and hu.
manity is given by busy men. and wom-
en-, those who are the most crowded with
cares, and these are the most ready to re-
Jpond to increasing calls upon their time
and energy. There is psychological rea-
son for this. Such persons have definite
ain and purpose. 1t is high and noble
one that continually refreshes them and
gives them such mastery over their pow
ers that they can always find time to do
anything that is best worth the doing
Religion helps rather than hinders. 1t is
like air, like light-it inspires everything
that grows; it is the strength. the joy,
the deliverance of the soul; it bears bur-
dens, soothes sorrows; it takes the sting
out of disappointments and shows US at
the end of the journey, not grave, but a
life fit to employ the souls full-blown
powers forever in noblest eXercise.-N.

Paying Tribute.

There was once a man who drank very
heavily; in TACT he was known as a
drunkard He lived in a small village,
and was generally admitted to be the bum
of the town One morning he started for
the hotel for his first drink, and as he en-
tered he saw the landlords children play
ing in the yard. They were bright-faced !,
well-dressed. clean and were children that
any father and mother might be proud OF.
He stopped and looked at them. They
were romping, running and having a good
time, and he could not help but admire
them. As he stood and watched these
children he could not help but contrast
them with his own children that he, had
left at home-fye ragged looking urchins.
They were dirty, barefooted, and their
clothes were tattered, and they were
really a disgrace to any man. He stopped
to think what was the difference between
the children, and he came to the rightful
conclusion that the difference was that In
stead of clothing and caring for his own
family he was clothing and caring for the
family of the rumseller. He stopped. He
thought moment. He turned and went
home, and has never drank drop since:
One of his sons is new superintendent OF
a division of large railroad. Another is

and the three daughters are well and re-
spectably married.

Weird COurtsliips.

Touched with Infinite pathos, as wen
as with surprising weirdness, was
the courtship of a young Lancashire
miner who wooed his cousin, a girl Of
nineteen. across the dying bed of the
formers father. The girl, who had
been summoned to nurse the old man,
fell In love with the son through
watching his tenderness to his ailing
sire, and thus it came about that while
the aged life was ebbing away two
young lives were converging toward
each other. The father in his final
moments guessed their secret and
joined their hands. and thus did this
remarkable wooing wear to it's end.
In Germany, where the mortuary
system is fap more complete than our
own. and where both male and female
attendants are employed, it is no un-
common thing for courtships to be
carried on in these halls Of the dead,
and many marriages have been
planned and arranged amid .heir
surroundings.-Tit-Bits.

Burden of Hereditary Weakness.

DR.. A. Baer, royal sanitary counsellor,
head physician at the penitentiary, plotz-
ensee near Berlin, author of DER Alko-
holismus" and other works upon this sub
ject, says: Not unfrequently the children
of topers die of hereditary weakness, not
only showing a pronounce ed tendency to:
ward diseases of the brain, epilepsy and
idiocy, but they are also frequently sub.
ject to vicious inclinations and criminal
tendencies. They lack perception for that
which is moral and which contributes to
a steady, well-ordered career. Weighted
with the burden OF hereditary mental
weakness, they not unfrequently take to
tramping fall into crime, or become the
victims Of drunkenness or insanity. The
tendency to drink degenerates not only
the existing race, but also the coming gen.

Open Doors.

It is interesting to note how often the
word door occurs in the New Testament:
The writer's all seem to have conceived OF
everything worth anything as lying over
against US to be entered by door. And
it is true. There are great possessions
awaiting every man, but each one must be
entered by its appointed door.
We know at once how true this is when
we think of some of the commonest OBJ
jects of life. Thus ones profession must
be entered by the door of long training in
schools and colleges. Ones trade must be
entered by the long service of apprentice
had for the asking, but must be entered
by the door of long reading and study.
Now, the same thing Is true OF the re-
ligious life or character. 1t is something
to be entered also by door. Here charac-
ter stands over against every man, calling
him to enter into it and possess it. 1t is
the one thing on earth worth entering. It
is above and beyond all other things.
Everything also exists for character; other
things are passing, while character is
eternal Now, right over against this
world of character God has set open doors.
We have merely to choose to walk through
them.
Thus the church is one door. 1t is not
primarily place of men holding some be-
lief, not primarily place for preaching.
But first of all it is a door-a door from
lower life to higher, from sin to righteous
ness, from nothingness to character, from
earth to heaven. What is the true church!
Not the church that believes this or be-
lieves that, but the church that is a door
for souls to pass over into the life OF
Christ and the consciousness Of God, ID
.he true church.
The teacher ought to make the Sunday
school such door-a door through which
youth passes over into a.manhood of pur'
ty,and purpose, and a knowledge of Gods
ways.
Duty is a door. Obedience leads over
nto knowledge. Duty leads over into God.
It is one of the doors God opens to every
humblest man. Every opportunity of ser.
vice for doing kind deed is door. Cod
pity the man that passes by duties and op-
portunities; he is passing by doors that
open right into the heavenly villas.
''Not once or twice in our fair island story
The path of duty was the way to glory;
He, that ever following her commands, .
On with toll of hearts and knees and
hands,
Thro, the long gorge to the far light has
won
His path upward, and prevaipd,
Shall find the topping crags Of duty
scaled
Are close upon the shining table lands -.
To which our God Himself is moon and
SUM-"
And then there is the door, greater than
al others, over into Righteousness, JESUS
Himself. He once said: "I am the door"
again He said: II am the way" Yes,
His life is the life that leads over into
character and heaven. His truth sets us
free. His faith opens the gates Of invisi.
BILE things. His love is the door over into
the world of largeness and Joy. Service
done in His name is the door to God Him
,elf.-Christian Work.
