A movement for benefit society
in the Methodist church has been
started. That is, a society that Will
give its members sick benefits and
some life insurance protection at rea-
Sonable rates. The protector Of the
plan says he has been moved 10 intro
duce it because so many Of the church
members are Joining secret societies
with benefit and insurance features.
and they are neglecting the church for
the societies. It is hardly to be believed
that the plan will receive the sanction
Of many prominent Methodist leaders.
One OF the rules Of the church now is
that members who are in need must be
visited and cared for. and at their
death the church sees that they have
decent burial Tae widows and or
phans are taken care of, too. The Sc
cret societies viii never interfere with
the church. They have their legitimate
place as the church has its place. The
man who makes his society an excuse
for giving up his church is only look
ing for an excuse

suLLIvAM ON WHISKY.


Ohm /. SULLIVAN, one time hea-
J vyweight pugilistic champion of
the world, is writing a series of articles
for the New York American on Wits
ky. That's AN John L. ought to know
something about the evils of the whisky
habit. He has had enough experience
in his time. During the years of his
ring. experience he made thousands
upon thousands of dollars and spent a
large proportion of the money for in
tOxicants. John Barleycorn yanquished
John /. and his experiences ought to
be interesting. The first paper certain
~ is, if Tor nothing but its naive van
ity. For instance:
Il suppose 1 have been admired more
by them 0he young men OF the coun-
try) than any other man that ever
lived, excepting possibly George Wash
ington and Dewey" And again: "A
great English fighter who met me
said. after he recovered his senses,
sullivan doesn't know anything about
fighting rules, but e its too ard. I
don't want nothing more to do with
him I was very young then. Now.
say that was the beginning of the wide
spread respect Of all other countries for
America"
After speaking Of the difficulty OF
persuading boys to listen to temper
ance sermons, John L.says: But they
have got to listen to John L. Sullivan,
in the first place because they look up
to me, and in the second place because
it has always been my custom to get
a respectful hearing whenever I wanted
to-" There's true modesty for you.
But John L. was always noted for that
characteristic. A little further along
he gives us this:
II have undertaken to write these
whisky articles at the request of
newspaper friend and admirer Of mine.
who saw me box before the Prince OF
Wales. That prince is the king of Eng
land now, and mean to see that these
articles of mInesOn whisky get into his
hands, if have to send them to him
myself Like a good many other men
he will be benefited by them. When 1
met him I talked affably to him and
put him at his ease. and have no
doubt that he will be glad to hear from
me after all these years.
Sure, the king of England will be
glad to hear from his old friend and
patron. He will doubtless read every
one Of the articles with the keenest
interest and appreciation. They may.
as John L. delicately intimates, cause
him to turn from paths OF inebriety
into the straight and narrow way of
teetotalism. But, testing aside. John
L. Sullivan ought to be a power as
temperance lecturer-if he Will follow
his own advice.
