Resisting Power.

When a physician is called to case
OF severe illness, the first thing that he
estimates is the resisting power OF the pa.
tient. The chances for his recovery are
in proportion to his vitality. If there bo
little of that at the outset there is small
hope of overcoming the disease. The re-
sisting power of persons in full health is
such that in an epidemic they throw OFT
the disease germs that PROSTATE others,
One cannot always tell from appearances
just how much ability one has to Withstand
the inroads of a malady. Some who ap'
parently are robust almost Immediately
succumb, while others who look frail re-
cover from violent attacks. Of course, dis.
sipation. unhygienic living. unhealthtul
surroundings sap ones resisting power, So
that when viruent ailment makes an
attack one has strength insufficient to
fight it of.
You see that it is not so much the ma.
lignancy of the disease as it Is the vital
ity of the man that determines the re
suit. just so il is also in the moral world,
There are some persons living lives so up
right. so spiritually healthy, that they are
practically immune from temptation. And
when they are overcome, they soon dis
cover themselves. for their power OF resis'
tance is great On the other hand, there
are those who after succumbing to one
temptation are completely swept away by
the power of evil. How can that be ac'
counted for? Obviously in the same way
that the ability to resist physical disease
is to be explained. There has been un'
wholesome moral living; the mind has
been permitted to become familiar with
evil thoughts; the soul has breathed in
masma and corruption until one has no
ability to put away temptation.
All this suggests the need OF resisting
power both against disease and against
sin. A pure, clean. wholesome life, physi
cal and moral, will make one secur
against any harm that either can do.

Alcoholism Among tho Nations.

A Paris correspondent OF the New York
Evening Post tells an interesting story
about alcoholism in France. The average
consumption of alcohol at 100 degrees in
France in 1880 was six and three.quarter
litres to each inhabitant 1t was then
drunk chiefly in the form of wine. A litre
Is little more than a quart. The average
consumption in 1900 was IS l-5 litres. half
in wine, fourth beer or cider, and
fourth in spirits. As some districts in
France are still reasonably abstemious, the
consumption in other districts is much
above the average, Normandy and Brittany
being especially drunken, and showing
gery serious results from it, 1t is not that
the people get violently drunk, but that
they keep themselves constantly drugged
with alcohol, with omnous results in the
form of disease and degeneracy. The av.
srage consumption of alcohol is estimated
to be thirteen and half litres in Switzer-
land, about ten in Belgium, Italy and
Denmark, about nine in Germany, Eng.
land and Austria, six in Holland, five in
the United States and two in Canada.
The poorer classes are most affected in
France. The middle and higher classes, as
/ rule, have intelligence enough to restrict
their potations. Other countries have been
rs drunken as France and have reformed.
In Sweden in 1923 the average annual al
lowance to each inhabitant was twenty
three and half litres OF pure alcohol.
Now it is five litres. Finland between 1850
and 1900 came down from twenty litres to
two. England, where there is a special ef-
fort now to restrict the indulgence OF the
drunken, has in twenty-five years reduced
her annual per capita allowance from ten
litres to nine. The great trouble at pres.
ent in France seems to be that the Gov
ernment is not strong enough to restrict
the manufacture and sale OF liquors. Gov
ernment in France needs votes. There are
very nearly half million wine shops in
France, and last year, in spite of repres-
sive legislation, there were ,l37 1913 pri.
vate distillers who made alcohol or brandy
from their own produce for their own use.
This enormous prevalence of private stills
seems appalling. Their number has in
creased sevenfold since 1879 Government
not only needs the votes OF dstillers and
wine sellers, but the revenue from alcohol
is indispensable. So the problem is a hard
one, but it must be solved. because to neg

Shaving ON litter Destruc,ion

St. Louis Globe-Democrat Houston,
Texas, special correspondent:
There is a general movement among
the saloon men of the State to obey the
Sunday law. A year ago there was a con.
ference OF wholesalers and brewery mana.
gers at Galveston, at which 1t was decided
to the best interest OF every one in the
business to have all the laws obeyed strict,
ly, but this the retailers felt to be entirely
too much to ask OF them. Since then the
local option sentiment has continued TO
spread throughout the State at a rate that
was alarming to the liquor interests. Now
the first-class saloonists in all of the cities
have come to the conclusion that the
wholesalers were right, and they have de
cided to aid the peace officers in enforcing
the laws to the extent they think is de
manded by local sentiment In Waco the
saloons are to be kept tightly closed dur
ing the church hours and nominally so

Amiction That Pays.

A psalmist once said: 1T is good for me
that | have been afflicted: that 1 might
learn Thy statutes" He might not have
sought the ways of God had he not found
his own ways hedged about him. His ex-
perience was that of a great number OF
men who discovered riches in affliction
which wsre otherwise not to be found.
The depth of human love and sympathy
would never be known if it were not for
affiiction. Through sorrow there has often
poured a wealth of love and affection, mar
velous in its sweetness and power. 1t was
not until he was afflicted that the psalmst
saw the glory of the holy law. 1t is in af-
Fiction also that the glory of human love
shines out, richer by far because it is
charged with the holy love of God. Yes,
it is dear price to pay, but in the after,
glow we shall be able to say that it was
worth paying baptist Union.

Lesson Thoughts.
God is able to answer our prayers.

The spirit of our prayer should be

as well as upon ourselves, and for

Selections.
Our prayers are not unanswered
when what we ask is refused, Gods
gifts are always better than our re-
quests, never a stone for bread, or o
scorpion for an egg.
Whatsoever we beg of God. let us
also work for 1t.
Prayer Is the bow, promise Is the
arrow. faith is the hand which draws
the bow and sends the arrow with the
hearts message to heaven.
Answers to prayer are promised
only when the prayer is offered "in
