TEMPERANCE COLUMN
Conducted BY the W. Z. T. U.

The Carthage Press, in speaking Of the
wholesale murder in Webb City list
week, 10 which an officer WAS killed in
discharge OF his duty, reminds the tenn
perauee people that this house OF ILL
fame was over four saloons
OF course, the Temperance people OF
this county ore grieved over the affair,
ard wonder how many more such object
lessons It will take 10 arouse the intem-
perance people to the fact that tho sa-
loon and its adiuncts Sre running Jasper
county, A county blessed by the hand
Of providence as no other county in the
westi A healthy climate, good soil and
foe crops and underneath all bed Of
rich tninerali Could We ask for an. :
thing moref Yet our county is noted
for its crimes, saloons and murders!
Good people are moving away. Some Of
Webb City's prominent citizens are lelv-
ing 90 account Of the Buckfoot gang.
We we're told in Joplin that IL was no
trouble to get saloon license. One IL
cense having been granted with only six
names on it as majority Of business
men on q block, and on examination
those names were illegible. Also, fifteen
mon owned one lot 10 order TO sign IL
oense.
Now, Webb City thinks the way to
whiten her reputation, is to force some
fifty women CT ill-repute to leave the
city. How brave an act! What il she
going to do with tho men that made the
women badi And what is she going to
do with the saloen :that made the
men badf Aud with the good people
who wanted the saloon for revenue 1t
bringsf
We hope the patriotic people Of Jas.
per county will consider some Of these
questioes. Don't leave II for the tenn
perance people. All should be interes-
ted. 1t costs more for Jasper county to
run its saloons than II does to run its

The dialogue deserves some special
mention, AS it was evidently proved that
some had had experience before and, Sc
riousness could not have added more re-
alistic charm to the affair. Cheever
Riddles impersonation Of "Sambo's en-
o'unter with ghost" proved quite anu
sing. The taLleaus also deserve special
mention.
A "hen party" was given Friday over
on North Fork. II is so called from

chicken was the chief article Of diet
The Chicago chicken markets were not
much affected, however, and it is hoped
that hard times will not result. Quite
a number Of young folks from this vicin-
+, ity attended and report "a glorious time.
A bounteous dinner Of many courses,
consisting of chicken was served. The
last course, probably. was scramble
for wish bones and woe 10 the lassie who
was treated 50 cruel by fate as to be un-
able To procure one!

preach the great moral code established
by Moses and the prophets, and to put
into practice literally in his daily life the
great lawgiver's precept of .'love thy
neighbor as myself" 49,. ~
Then followed ON my part a study of
Christianity and the causes which led to
Jewish persecution. It took but little
Jew. and not Jesus, was the real founder
of Christianity; that Paul was the man
who conceived the idea of spreading Juda-
ism among the Gentiles by preaching the
God of Israel and the man Jesus, the son
Of God.
It was Pauls broad cosmopolitanism
that gave Christianity to the world It
was his far-seeing and high thinking mind
which enabled him better to appreciate
the priceless value to humanity Of the
truths held sacred by, and confined TO, the
jews 1t was Paul's genius which con-
ceived the idea of breaking away from
the encrusted traditionstof the Jew and
his strength and his heart his mind and
his soul to uplift his brethren outside of
his faith and to bring them nearer to
the God of Israel. He saw clearly that
the Jews were preaching universal truths,
but made no effort to disseminate them.
lie realized that for the faith Of his
fathers to, accomplish Its high purpose
there must be teaching and preaching
among nom believers and in foreign lands:
and so, alone and unaided except for the
presence and help of God; he set out on
MS heroic task. preaching the beautiful
Jewish utterances set forth by Jesus,
whom he had accepted. as, his master;
in time revolutionized the religious spirit
OF the world, and which Is destined to
continue moving onwardr as long as civil
uzatlon shall stand. n

health and reputation and even life it
self for it's possession.
For the mere possession of money
men will starve themselves and go in
rags. Only the other day in Des
Moines, Iowa, laboring man was
found dead in his hovel. He had
starved himself to death. He had lived
in rags and filth. He had been, how
ever, constant laborer, and saved
every cent of his earnings. A search
of his person disclosed that he carried
about him hundreds Of dollars. A
search of the squalid hut in which he
lived disclosed thousands Of dollars
hidden in all kinds of queer corners
and out of-the-way places Recently
a hackdriver of Omaha, Nebraska, died
from starvation, although he had dc.
cumulated $4,000. What insane pas
sion is it that sustains men in leading
such lives? They are not laying up
competence for old age, for even when
enough has been acquired the miserly
passion continues and starvation and
squalor and raggedness is the lot they
allow themselves to share. Then again
men take good deal Of personal
pleasure with money, but devote very
little of it to the benefit Of others.

A SEARCHING QUESTION.

The Christian Endeavor topic for
Oct. 5 is found in John xxi. 1925.
This chapter of John contains several
interesting and important events. The
closing scene is very touching indeed.
Christ prophesies the death of Peter
as a martyr. The apostle then asks
Him concerning John, to which Jesus
replies: eff I will that he tarry till
come, what is that to thee? Follow
thou Me-" Christ did not mean to say
that it was His will that John should
live until His second coming; He SIM
ply meant in this way to emphasize to
Simon Peter the important fact that
the great concern to him should be his
personal relation to the Master and not
the future destiny Of some one else.
This is undoubtedly the great lesson Of
the searching question of the topic,
which is, What is that to thee?"
Christ followed this question with the
command, Follow thou Mel" And this
command is the matter of supreme i'm
portance to all His disciples. 1t is
plainly set forth that God is not to
deal with men in the mass, but as in
dividuals. This makes our relation to
God very important question. Too
many people make the mistake of los
ing sight of their own responsibility to
God, unnecessarily considering the re-
sponsibility and relations of others to
God.
The salvation of the soul is a per-
sonal matter between Christ and the
individual. 1t is absolutely impossible
for one person to be saved through Or
by another person. The wise virgins
could not give of their oil to the foolish
ones who had neglected to obtain it.
The responsibility was upon them and
no one else could make up for them
what they had neglected. Each one
must be saved or lost upon his own
responsibility.
Christian work is an individual mat
ter. Christ taught that there was 'to
every man his work" No one can do
the work of another any more than he
can fulfill the requirements of the plan
of salvation for another. There is a
work for each one of us to do, and we
will be held personally responsible for
the accomplishment of it or the failure
to do it.
