said favorably to the other side. But
an immense number continue to use
liquors and many declare that use TO
be of benefit to them.
No one defends drunkenness at the
present time. Well. that Is an advance
surely. for the time is not long past
when drunkenness was expected of

of distinction! Most Will agree that
any one who cannot avoid drunkenness
should not indulge in Intoxicating
drinks.

NOTABLE DAYS OF THE WEEK.

March is the first Sunday in Lent.
1t IS also the Day of st. David, patron
OF Wales. and his day is universally
celebrated by-the people Of that coun-.
try. Welsh legends relate many mar
vels OF this saint, that he was de-
scendant of the Virgin Mary In the
eighteenth generation, and that he was
an uncle of King Arthur. His life was
notable without myth. He was a great
preacher, controversalist, organizer and
disclplinarian. His shrine was de-
stroyed when Henry VIII had the alb
bey of Glastonbury dismantled. Fari-
Gus reasons are assigned by the
Welsh for wearing the leek on his ami
eVrsary. The observance of st. David's
Day was long continued by royalty in
England, and several of the kings
Joined their Welsh subjects in wearing
leeks in their hats on the day. AS pull
pits were not the fashion in his day,
the earth on which he preached was
raised from a level to a hill, whence he
could be heard to better advantage, and
this accounts for the hilly condition of
Wales. This is also the beginning of
