SUPERINTENDENT COOPER.

Henry E. Cooper is a man who does
things and this makes it a matter OF
-congratulation that he is at the head Oh
a governmental bureau so closely asso-
ciated with the needs and comfort OF
the people as the Board of Public
works. His duties cover a wide field.
They relate to streets and highways,
harbor improvements, wharves, land
ings water works, railways, electric
light and power, telephone lines, fences,
pounds, brands, weights and measures,
fires and flreproof buildings, explosives
eminent domain, public works, markets,
buildings, parks and cemeteries and
grounds and lands formerly controlled
by the Interior Department. All these
utilities directly touch the people; and
if they are to be administered correct
Nv. the man who does it must have a
rare executive knack; and this, as every
citizen of long standing here is aware,
Mr.. Cooper. possesses.
The new superintendent program of
work is what might be expected of him.
His forthcoming estimates will provide
for road and bridge Improvement
throughout the group, a remodeling and
development of the Honolulu water
front, an increased reservoir capacity
for this city, the development of cleo
trio power for governmental purposes,
durable pavements. a legislative and
judicial annex to the Capitol building
and the Strengthening of the lines of
streets where buildings project. AS time
goes on this program will grow; for as
a result of long years of official neglect
partly due to the disturbed condition OF
the country, there is enough public
work needed TO strain the resources OF
the Department and of the Territory
itself. However, by economy and ar
honest desire to serve the people, much
may be done even with limited funds to
meet the more exacting requirements
For one thing roads will no longer be
slapped together for the sake of giving
employment to men who do not pretend
to earn their pay and who are merely
on the job to make it last

EPWORTH LEAGUE MEETING TOPICS.
October l2-Frultful or FrultIess John is. is,
10; Mark II, l2-l4.

This lesson is the familiar descrlp.
tion of the Vine and the Branches,
and the rebuking of the barren fig
tree by the Master. No relation is
more vital and intimate than that of
the branch to the tree. Every be.
lever is "in" Christ Jesus. and re.
ceives his life and power to bear fruit
from him. Each fruitless branch is
taken away" the union between the
two is severed. Each fruitful branch
is ''purged," that is, pruned and
cleansed, that it may bring forth more
and better fruit. The unconditional
abiding of the believer "in Christ" is
the absolute essential for fruitfulness.
The action of Jesus in the case of the
barren fig tree is a striking object
lesson as to the results of profession
without fruit.
Both the parable that Jesus spoke
and the action he took in withering
the barren fig tree are suggestive Of
some lessons of Importance. Both
are a type of the individual Christian.
The fig tree was not an accidental
growth. 1t was planted for the pur.
pose of bringing forth fruit. We are
not In the Church and kingdom by
chance. We have been converted in
order to bring forth fruit" God has
design in each life.
When Jesus saw leaves on the fig
tree he had reason to look for fruit,
When we make a profession of re.
ligion men have right to expect
fruit by their fruits ye shall know
them" Alas have we in our lives
nothing but leaves?" Have we lost
connection with Jesus? He said, ''He
that abideth in me y bringeth
forth much fruit" Fruitlessness Is a
sign of dsconnection with Christ
mo man eat fruit of thee hereafter
forever" This is the sentence that
should in all justice be uttered against
every frultless Christian. Fruit trees
are of little value for shade, they are
to bear fruit. Christians have abso.
lutely no value only as they bring
forth fruit to the glory of God. The
longer a tree stands fruitless the
greater the waste of the space it oc,
cupies. God does not Immediately cut
off every fruitless branch. He comes
by his Spirit; he sends revival and op.
portunity; he bears long and patiently
with us; but finally, If obdurate and
fruitless to the end, we are taken
away" How long will you test the
long-suffering Of God?
There Is only one cure for spiritual
barrenness and fruitlessness. The
severed connection with Christ must
be healed. The branch must abide in
the vine. The soul must be in touch
and harmony with Christ. Keep the
divine life in the soul, and easily and
naturally the life will be fruitful. Am
really abiding "in Christi" Do others
get the impression that l am a real
and consistent Christian? Have
been instrumental in leading a soul to
Christ this year? Is there a percep.
tible increase in my spiritual life and
active service? Am l satisfied with
Services" or am | really engaged in
the Service" of Christ? Have l fruit
IN my life, or am bringing forth
nothing but leayes?"

We might thus summarize. the truths
about alcohol taken as a beverage in
health, in varying quantities, from physio'
logical moderation to excess:
!. Alcohol is poisonous drug, whose
special action in the body is brain cell
paralysant, destroying these cells IN the
inverse order OF their development.
2. Alcohol disturbs the circulation,
leading to loss of body temperature and
an accumulation of waste products in the
blood, accompanied by great depression
and muscular weakness.
8. Alcohol tends to produce in all, pro-
portionate 10 the quantity taken, cirrhotic
disease of all the tissues and organs OF the
body.
4. Alcohol tends to produce an irresist-
ible craving for itself.
5. Alcohol predisposes to all infectious
and many organic diseases
6. Alcohol diminishes the chances of
recovery in those attacked with any dis
ease, other than those resulting from its
use.
7. Alcohol increases the sick rate and
shortens life.
8. Alcohol predisposes to consumption
and all tubercular diseases
8. Alcohol increases lunacy and crime.
TO- Alcohol is absolutely unnecessary to
health.
IL. sAlcohol promotes hemorrhage and
does not check it.
H. Alcohol adds no muscular strength
to the body; at most it encourages the
expenditure of its force in the shortest
possible time.
If these are the true facts about alco-
hol taken as beverage in health, we are,
as medical men, individually and collec-
lively, in duty and in honor bound to
make them known to the public, over
whose health we pretend to preside.

A Pitiable Wreck.

In Washington a dozen years ago there
lived a beautiful and spirited girl the
daughter of a distinguished soldier. Her
wedding was a fashionable event. Every
thing seemed to give promise of happy
life-a loving husband, fond parents, many
friends, money in plenty and an assured
social position.
On tuesday last this girl was admitted
to Bellevue Hospital, broken in health,
enfeebled in mind, meanly clothed, her
beauty gone, as pathetic wreck as ever
drifted onto charity's shore.
In the intervening years the father died
of a broken heart, the husband procured
a divorce, friend after friend fell away.
The girl went upon the stage, and would
have succeeded there but for one cause
the cause that has ruined herself and
spread grief and shame among those who
loved and did their utmost to save her.
Drink, of course-a passion for the poi
son which she could not, or would not, re-
sist. With intelligence to understand per-
fectly the terrible consequences to herself
of succumbing to the appetite, this wom-
an yielded until it has become fendsh
master not to be disobeyed. For the
qualification of her appetite she has paid
with all that makes life worth living, and
to-day is a broken and hopeless outcast,
capable of suffering the keenest misery,
but incapable of self-restraint when the
drink devil tempts her.
There is temperance lesson for you
There is warning to the young and
needless and pleasure-loving who play
with this hell's fire. which can burn out
everything that is manly in a man and
womanly in woman.-Editorial in the
New York Evening Journal.

Lesson Thoughts.
Have you any doubts of your true
connection with Jesus Christ? Your
own life must answer. He is the true
vine, and If you are true branch you
will be bearing fruit. This is the test;
then ask yourself II you are bearing
the fruits of the Holy Spirit-love, Joy,
peace, long suffering, gentleness,
meekness, temperance.
Without Christ we can no more bear
good fruit than the branch separated
from the vine can bring to maturity
the luscious grapes nay, even the
fruit 1t already bears must wither and
die when 1t leaves the vine and de.
pends upon itself for nourishment and
strength.
Selections.
There is counterfeit olive tree in
Palestine. II is called the wild olive,
or the oleaster. 1t is in all points like
the genuine tree, except that 1t yields
no fruit. Alas! how many wild olives
are there in the church, When l see
man taking up large space in
Christ's spiritual orchard, and alb.
sorbing a vast deal of sunlight and
soil, and yielding no fruit, say, "Ah!
there is an oleaster!"
If tree is not growing, 1t is sure
in the long run to be dying. And so
are our souls. If they are not grow
ing, they are dying; il they are not
getting better, they are getting worse.
This is why the Bible compares our
soles to trees; not out OF a mere
pretty fancy to poetry, but for a great,
awful, deep, worldwide lesson, that
every tree in the fields may be pat
tern, a warning to us thoughtless
men, that as that tree is meant to
grow, so our souls are meant to grow.
AS that tree dies unless it grows, so
our souls must die unless they grow
Nature abhors sterility. From the
humid climate and fertile soil of the
tropics, to the ragged lava-felds and
frigid atmosphere of higher latitudes,
we find the garments of vegetation
covering ALL This teaches the lesson
of Christian faithfulness and progress.

The whisky DEVILS Very Good Joke.


You will remember the policeman who
killed his wife, and afterward said, full OF
remorsc:
''It was the DEVILS joke. Whisky did IL.
She was the best woman that ever lived"
The DEVILS whisky jokes did not stop at
this policeman's crime, or begin with 1t.
That series of Jokes is as old as mans
discovery of the fact that it is possible by
fermentation to extract murder and insan-
ity from grain.
The Rev. Sam Small for many years
has made a specially Of lecturing in favor
of temperance.
Recently he appeared in Vermont, en-
deavored to speak, collapsed on the plat
form and afterward confessed:
Il was drunk
This was considered an excellent joke by
many. 1t was thought very funny and
amusing that clergyman who had all his
life been preaching against drink should
appear drunk before a gathering OF tenn
perate, earnest men and women.
1t was good joke-of the whisky devils
kind.
But in the humiliation of this unfortu-
nate man, and in the distress of his au-
dience, there was lesson for great many
other men, as well as a good whisky dew
IFS joke.
In the plight Of the drunken clergyman
there was no reason for humiliation on the
part Of those who advocate temperance.
On the contrary, there is double proof OF
the need of such preaching as theirs.
If whisky is strong enough to win such a
victory-if whisky can bring so good joke
to a successful climax-it shows the power
that resides in whisky and its hold over
human beings.
There have been few better whisky jokes
than the collapse of the Rev. Sam Small
rt1 fa
perance sermons than that same collapse
of man helpless to resist when he knew
so well the inevitable result - New York

Bio Fish Jumps Into skIn.

In trying to kill the fish with one Of

through the skin and 1t began to I'LL
rapidly with water.
Their only salvation then was to
reach shore before the boat could go

to bail out the water. but Miss
Plumb. alive to the desperate situa-
