Power of the Liquor Traffic.

Men talk a great deal about the
strength of the liquor traffic, and
many seem hopeless of ever being
able to overcome it. But in what does
the real strength of the traffic con-
sist. That it is a Samson in power we
all admit. We must discover the
secret of its power, if Samson is to be
shorn. In all the elements that go to
make up power the liquor traffic is
entirely lacking. 1t appeals to neither
truth. Justice nor morality for its sup
port. Every moral and Christian man
in the land looks upon it as a curse.
Every interest of humanity and i'm
pulse of Christianity. are opposed to
it, Even its own devotees do not dare
stand out and defend It. Yet the fact
remains that the liquor traffic is
stronger than all the moral and Chris
tian forces that oppose it. Its real
power is in the moral and political
support that Christian men give it.
and it would fall of its own weight of
corruption and rottenness. Take
away the legal support that the politi-
cal power good men have given it, and
bit would no longer find license and
legal protection.-From an address by

Many sailors possess the curious

many encounters with them. Really.
however, the fact is that the approach
of a berg is heralded by a sudden and
decided cooling of the atmosphere,
which these experienced mariners
o perceive and are warned by. But
oftentimes a vessel will run into a
nest OF them and may have to be
towed to safety by her boats. Ice.
bergs are sometimes useful. The lee
of a berg is a %favorite shelter from
storm. and Arctic steamers, Northern
whalers, and Newfoundland sealers

of anchoring to bergs.
