ment the Rev. Smith is supported by
an elder in his church.
Rev. e. G. Smith, pastor of the Pres

There is a tendency to pity the
drunkard as merely the victim of the
liquor traffic. This opinion speaks
well for the charity of mankind, yet It
is neither safe nor sound. For the
drunkard is a sinner. No man has
made him drink. The responsibility
which he individually has to God can
not be shifted onto any institution.
The drunkard must answer to God for
his drunkenness. There will be q
Judgment for the liquor dealer, too;
put that does not alter the fact that
the man who sells his manhood for the
sake of drink must render an account

rs.,o.a,,.n Give. Longevity.

Some interesting statistics, complied
from the records of the United King
dom Provident Institution, have been
published in England. They cover the
last "a years, and se'e strong proofs of
the favorable effect of teetotalism on
longevity. A section of this company's
business is given up to persons VINO
are total abstainers, and the death rate
among them is so much lower that 1t
has been calculated that where 1920
would have died were they all drink
srs, only 1884 would have died had
they been abstainers. The only ra-
Eonal explanation is that the result of
drinking alcohol is to produce gradual
degeneration of various organs and
tissues so that in course OF time these
are unable to carry on their functions
or resist the attacks of disease. IL Is
also very significant that this result
becomes noticeable chiefly after the
age of sixty. Alcohol thus produces
premature decay, degeneration, and
old age. The Scepter life office. and
the Abstainers and General, have a
similar experience on smaller scale.
| Indeed, this is becoming so manifest
that only recently a large office ike
the Sun advertises for total abstainers
and offers to take them at a lower pre-
MUM. The experience of friendly So
eieties is exactly the same. The death
rate and sickness rate of the Recha-
bites and Sons of Temperance is con-
siderably below that Of the Foresters
and Oddfellows, Notwithstanding that
these contain many abstainers. Thus
the Sons of Temperance have death
rate of 61s per 1000 and sick rate of
71s days per member per annum. while
the drinking societies average about IL
deaths per 1000 and IL to IL days OF

Tradition says ''woman must suf-

There is little truth and great deal

treatment, and her mother should see
that she gets it.
