The temperance war has many forms Of
battle in progress. In one field it is moral
suasion, in another 1t Is rescue work. in
another 1t is social ostracism for all deal
ers in strong drink, in another it Is edu-
cation OF the children, and in still another
1t Is political activity. One aim animates
all-the total abolition of the most in
furious practice hat threatens the nation.

Note the phrasing OF this topic; it as.
sumes that every Christian has some place
In the modern temperance movement.
That assumption itself is a proof of the
advance OF the Christian position in this
respect. A hundred years ago the dis
tribution of rum was a feature of church
celebrations. Minister offered it to min
lister, and its use was general. But today
1t Is counted n scandal for a clergyman
even to drink wine. and among church
members generally the practice has al
most wholly ceased. The war against in
temperance is a winning war.

To Our Departed Friend, Fred oarrls, Which Are the Sentiments of Ills Friends, Irrespective of Religious, Political or Fraternal AffiIiation.

We hereby resolve, That 1t was not necessary that death should set it's hand upon him whom we loved before we could appreciate his true worth; for each and every one who came within the radiatins influence of his smiles could never forget that he had met Our Fred" First to join in the mirth and merrymaking of his friends, he was equally as quick to lend a hand to the needy and distressed: and times innumerable he was the means of causing the deepest of sorrow to disperse at his very appearance and joy and hap piness to once again enter the hearts of his distressed friends, creating as 1t were, with his genial way and gladstone smile. a firmer lease upon life and causing ray of sunshine to play around those in distress, to cheer up and look on the brighter side of life.
 Quick to resent quicker to forgive; loved by all who knew him. Gone! but ah, not forgottenl For in his journey through this life he has sown seeds which the rroducts thereof day after day will ever keep h.m in our memory. He has crossed the proverbial river. of which we know naught. and we feel that the boatman knew what a precious charge he had In keeping; and we earnestly hope that the Great Creator will deal kindly with him as a reward for the many kind deeds per formed while here with us.
 Humbly we submit to the will of Hirn who doeth all things well, realizing that in the loss of our friend his place can never be filled.
