A Prayer for nrunl.ar.I..

We bring to thee Lord OF hosts
hearts heavy with shame and sorrow.
We are cast down when We behold the
great sin Of our nation. Men and wom-
en- go reeling to drunkards graves:
there is a blot npon our country's
honor; there is hesitancy in the hearts
of even Christian patriots, and all be-
cause Of the power OF intemperanee In
our midst Lord God Almighty have
mercy upon us. Look down in pity
upon us, for we are sinful. Forgive
the selishness and cOwardiee which
have kept MS at our ease while men
perished at the hands Of this monster
evil Fire us with new purpose; con-
vict us Of our past shame. and send
us forth, Lord, caring nothing for
anything for which thou carest moth
ing 10 fight manfully against this foe.
Save our beloved country. we pray
thee from the drunkard's doom. and
give power and success to the labors Of
all who toll for fallen man and 20 en-
compass the overthrow OF the saloon
power, In the name OF the pitifm
Christ We ofier this prayer Amen.

Most failures lie in not going on
long enough. The hour that tests a
man is that in which the first ferYof
Of his undertaking has died out, and
yet the goal Of his efforts seem a little
farther of than when he began. That
is like the point in the revolution Of a
driving wheel, where the forward push
Of the piston rod has ceased, and It's
backward pull has not begun. vast
mass Of human enterprise, in great
things and small, breaks down at that
point. and many a good work 10 de-
ferred until It finds a man who has the
impetus Of faith in sufficient measure
to carry him round that curve. Il Is
the mark Of a really able man TO finish
what he began, in small things and in
great alike. Sunday School Times.

10 Is generally admitted that the con-
sumption OF alcohol induces much less
dlsagreeable consequences In the re-
gions Of the north than in southern
countries. But from a statistical and
besides a most interesting study be-
longing TO a country comprising the
most varied climates ~ J. A. Sikorsky
Of Kiev demonstrates that this manner
Of presenting things is far from corre-
spending with the reality. La semaine
Medlcale gives the following analysis
OF his labor: THE number OF deaths
due to acute alcoholism In the south
ern provinces of Russia varies Oh the
average from Is TO p per year for
million inhabitants; In the central
provinces 1t fuctuates around 40, in
those Of the north 70 to 100. This diff
ference is not at all connected, as one
would suppose to a greater or less con
siderable consumption OF spirits. for
according to the statistics Of the min
lister Of finance. relative to the decen-
nial period. 18S1-1Ssi. the average OF
consumption Is lighter in the provinces
OF the north Except those Of st. Pc
tersburg and Moscow, than In those
Of the south, where it equals 5.5T IL
ters to 48O liters OF absolute alcohol
per capita. while for the first Il varies
from 246 liters TO 307 liters. So In
spite Of this smaller consumption Of
alcohol, the cases Of death from ex-
cessive drinking are more numerous
in the northern countries, where 1t Is
obviously correct to seek for a reason
in thermic influences. In fact. the re-
searches TO this end undertaken by NJ.
slkorsky show that the number OF the
deceased OF this class Is far greater as
the average temperature. which for
southern Russia is 7.9 degrees falls to
as degrees in the central provinces and
almost to 3.0S degrees in the north.
One sees that the general showing OF
these figures bears striking resem-
blance to that which belongs TO the
number OF deaths due to intoxication.
Elevated temperatures then seem to
hinder. in some manner, the pernicious
action OF alcohol Certain abrupt va
riations in the series OF figures re-
turned year by year equally confirm
this view. Thus for the provinces OF
the northwest the mortality from the
abuse Of drinks was In 1856 ten times
less than the year following But the
meteorological reckonings returned BY
the st. Petersburg academy Of science
indicate that during the year 1886 the
temperature was particularly mild
while that OF the year. 1887 was very
cold. These facts are worthy Of special
attention. as they are IN accordance
with figures perfectly comparable since
in Russia everywhere they drink
chiefly brandy. and so the variations
which belong to the different toxicity
OF spirits are next 20 nothing In
summing up. N. sikorsky thinks him.

cold increases in a considerable man

Many thoughtful men feel that the

a flaming enthusiasm. In those days
men crowded toward the church doors.
And then came the era when the tides
began to ebb away. Il was the era
Of criticism and analysis And now
that the critical age has passed by we
discover that multitudes have suffered
spiritually. The tide Of unrest and
disbelief Of the past 20 years has turn

land there is a widespread desire for

politics.-From New York sermon by

GOV. MURPHY'S ENEMIES.

Phoenix, Arizona, Dec. IA special to the Republican from Washington says that the fight for the removal of Gov. Murphy is confined to his personal ene- mics in Arizona. In Washing ton no charges have been filed, and it is said to be the intention of the administration to have him serve out his term. Gov. Mrrphy's commission is dated to expire December 14, 1902. This commission is held to be an original appointment and has nothing to do with previous com missions or the terms of office of the men who held them.
 The recent fight against Mur- phy is looked upon by officials here as a closed incident, only to be revived in the case of future development. As the governor does not desire reappointment the president will find some other man, and Col. Brodie probably stands the best chance at the end of Murphy's term.
