The Making of christian His Birth.
John 3. Is.


This lesson is founded on the pass
age which records the conversation OF
Jesus and Nicodemus. A ruler of the
Jews. he comes 10 Jesus by night.
Whatever other conversation may
have occurred we know not but it all
revolves around this declaration of
the necessity of a new birth. The
first thing in the making of a Chris.
tian Is that he be well born" There
may be and will be great differences
In the details of a religious expert
ence but certain clear and well de.
fined epochs will be found in the
conscious experience of every Chris
tian There will be first the sense
of sim then the conscious and sincere
turning away from sin; then the look
ing TO Christ for salvation; and then
sooner or later the consciousness of
peace and pardon. To this conscious
experience every real Christian comes
And this is the foundation of the
whole religious life. To MS, as to
Nicodemus, ii may be strange and in
explicable, but it may be recognized
by its results. Notice how Jesus
pours out his richest truths to an
audience of only one person.
A change which will fit us for conf
panionship with Christ Is necessity
of our nature. Socially, politically,
and Intellectually we are constantly
changing. There is no greater mys'
terry in a spiritual new birth than in
hundred other experiences of life.
The conscious guilt Of a human soul
demands that 1t be changed before

Do not keep this sacred thought Of
Christs companionship in sorrow for the
larger trials of life. Ii the mote in the
eye be large enough to annoy you, it is
large enough TO bring out His sympathy,
and if the grief be too small for Him 60
compassionate and share. it is too small
FOR YOU to be troubled by it.
Ii you are ashamed to apply that divine
thought, Christ bears this grief with
me, to those petty molehills that you
magnify into mountains sometimes, think
to yourself that then it is a shame for you
to be stumbling over them.
But on the other hand never fear to be
irreverent or too familiar IN the thought
that Christ is willing to bear, and help you
to bear the pettiest, the minutest, and
most insignificant of the daily annoyances
that may come to rufilc you. He will dc
more He will bear it with you, for il so be
that We may suffer with Him, He suffers
with us. Alexander Maclaren.

Drinking Among Brooklyn Women.


The above is the title Of a recent article
in the Brooklyn Daily Eagle. and the foi
lowing extract is undoubtedly applicable
to almost all our great cities:
Drinking among women has come to be
one of the problems of Brooklyn. One
prominent physician OF the Upper Hill
says that within the past three or four
years his practice has doubled solely be-
cause of this, and it has grown to be AN
important part of his daily work to repair
shattered constitutions and build up
wrecked nervous systems brought to thi.
pass by the fashionable glass.
Neither this doctor nor any other OF
the medical fraternity of Brooklyn will
consent to be formally quoted or to have
their names used in this connection, but
investigation among the leading practition-
ers finds candid acknowledgment of the
situation. The case is confirmed by a mum.
Der OF the prominent club and society men
OF the borough who are constant frequent
ers of the theatres and restaurants here
and in Manhattan.
"These two classes of authorities com.
bned tell very curious and interesting
story, and are uniformly in accord as TO
the details. 1t is not the women of as
sured fashionable position and station.
they say. who are drinking excessively and
running their health thereby. but women
OF means, taste in dressing, good appear
ance and the right OF admission into a..
most the best circles upon occasions.
These men say the cases they have most
frequently met with are near 20 the inner
circles. though not quite of them. They
are women that have the ambition and
partial entree, and might with judgment
and patience win their way within.
ut is in this class, doctors and clubmen
agree, that the recent increase in drinking
is appearing, and its spread is marked both
among young girls and young matrons."

PARRY STRIKES
At SOCIALISM
Continued from Page One,

private ownership of corporations
would be as nothing compared to the
corruption that would most likely exist
under government ownership.
"While the enlargement of the scope
and power of government by the pur-
chase and management of certain en-
terprises has found considerable sup
port among the people. yet I believe
the sentiment favorable to socialistic
measures Is the more widespread and
dangerous. Without making special
reference to the aim of the avowed So
cialist, we have organized labor and
it's sympathizers supporting the idea
that organizations of men may die
tate to a large extent the management
of enterprises which they do not own,
determining the rate of wages and fix
ing the hours of employment. Another
illustration of this kind of socialistic
sentiment Is manifested in the present
agitation to have the government fix
railroad rates"
Mr.. Parry favored the non-partisan
organization in order to counteract the
work of the socialists.
Taking up the labor situation, Mr..
Parry said:
"Organized labor was less strenuous
in the past year in its socialistic en-
deavors than in the several years pre-
ceding. There were a number of not
able strikes and smaller strikes were
numerous, but they were almost uni
formly failures from the union stand
point The open shop was the out
come Of most of these struggles, At a
low estimate fully 1900 concerns en-
ploying labor changed from the closed
to the open shop.
1.-THE efforts of organized labor to
| secure the passage of laws abridging
individual freedom of action met with
during the recent session of congress,
as also did a number of attempts to
secure laws of a socialistic character
from various legislatures. This was
due to the aroused activity of the man.
ufacturers and employers in these
states.
with strikes less numerous, the laws
better obeyed and enforced, and th'
power Of labor lobbies considerably
checked, the value of this associationi
activity on the labor question is EN-
phatically demonstrated"
: In discussing the pending interstate
commerce legislation Mr.. Parry de
