THE GREAT DESTROYER
SOME STARTLING FACTS ABOUT
THE VICE OF INTeMPERANcE.

The Despotism of Alcoholism Is tho
the Twentieth Century-onIy Cooper
alton Can Overthrow 1t.
The morning of the nineteenth CEN
tury saw the peace of all Europe men,
aced by one man and his armies. When
the nations came to renlize that sepa-
rately they could not overthrow this
enemy. and that they must drop all dl-
visive jealousies and combine In one
harmonious whole with an unbrollen
front. success crowned their arms and
Napoleon, the representative of the
military despotisn of that age, was ir-
retrievably banished to st. Helena.
The despotism of alcoholism is the
menace threatening the civilization Of
the morning of the twentieth century
During the last twenty-five or more
years many different forces have been
working independently In this country
against this evil.
For more than twenty years the pub
lie schools of America have been teach
ing its millions of children that science
shows that alcohol is by nature u
poison that Injuries the individual men
tally. morally and physically. and
hence greatly impars his working abil-
ity. Business has taken this hint. and
consequently total abstinence has be-
come an industrial question. The
churches and Sunday-schools have
pressed the anti-alcohol question from
the moral side until spiritual awe ken
ing and interest in the temperance
question go hand in hand IN this coun-
try as well as in Wales, as shown in
its great revivals. The temperance So
cieties have presented the social and
political aspects of the subject.
AS Il result of all this, there is q vast
and steadily increasing amount of SEN
tlment in this country against the use
and sale of alcoholic drinks. Whoever
can read the signs Of the times sees
nothing more plainly written in exist
ing public conditions than the fact that
the hour has come for the unification
of all temperance forces and for their
focalization on the saloon Every
movement in the direction of such
union that implies no sacrifice of princi-
pie Is definite promise of the day that
will dawn on America with no saloon,
not many decades after all the temper
ance forces unite in making and focal
izing the public sentiment that will not
tolerate the use and sale of this de-
structive beverage poison.
During the past ninety days, fifty
nine Ohio villages have voted ON the
saloon question. Forty-one of them
outlawed the saloon: 127 rum shops
closed their doors with a slam and a
curse. Cooperation did the business
Instead of disputing as to which would
sit on the right hand of the throne in
Heaven, the Prohibition party and the
Antl-Saloon League co-operated. The
result was Victory with n big "V."
Had they not co-operated, the result
would have spelled d-e-f-e-a-t-all let
lower case.

COMMERCIAL REVIEW.

r. G. Dun & Co.'S weekly Review
of Trade" says
Business broadens in a wholesome
manner, an the most encouraging indi-
cation regarding the future is the scarcity
of labor disputes.
Jobbers have experienced good spring
trade, and manufacturers are now re-
ceiving large contracts for fall shipment,
while retail sales are of satisfactory vol
umne, except at a few points where in
clement weather has temporarily retard-
cd distribution.
Activity at the interior is evidenced by
the increased transfers thither OF silver
dollars and subsidiary silver by the
Treasury, crop prospects being well main
tanned despite excessive cold in a few
sections.
Railway traffic continues very heavy,
earnings for April thus far exceeding the
same period last year by Io.7 per cent
Current conditions and prospects for
the future are both extremely satisfac-
tory in the iron and steel industry. Sew
eral new plants have been completed and
others repaired and put in operation, so
1t is undoubtedly the fact that current
production Of iron and steel is constant
ly establishing new high records.
Strength is still conspicuous in the
hide situation, large tanners purchasing
more freely. Leather is also more ac-
tive.

Said TiitY Yenrs Arn.

Probably you would say. break up
all these filthy and low haunts, all
these places where the habitually in
temperate. the degraded, the wretch
edly poor congregate. and let these
beverages be sold only in respectable
places and to respectable people! But
is this really the best plan? On the
contrary, it seems quite reasonable to
maintain that 1t is better to sell to the
Incorporate than the sober, to the de-
graded than to the respectable, for the
same reason that 1t is better to burn
up the old hulk than TO set fire to
new and splendid ship. l think 1t
worse to put the first glass to young
mans lips than to crown with mad
ness an old drunkard's lifelong aliena-
tion-worse to wake the fierce appe-
tite in the depths of generous and
promising nature than to take the car
rion of a man, mere shell of imbecil-
ity, and soak it in fresh debauch.
Therefore, if | were going to say
where the license should be granted in
order to show its efficacy, would say:
Take the worst sinks of intemperance
in the city, give them the sanction of
the law, and let them run to overflow
ing. But shut up the gilded apartment
where youth takes its first draught
and responsibility just begins to falter
from its leyel.-Dr Chaplin.

CHRISTIAN ENDEAV0R NOTES
MAY FOURTEENTH.
spirit-filled christiane. Acts 2: IA
41-47.

When Christians are filled with the
same spirit, they breathe the same
sentiments, they are part of the same
spiritual organism, they must be
united, "of one accord"
The Holy Spirit is a spirit of in
tense activity--He is fire, and no luke
warm Christian possesses Him.
The first evidence of the presence
of the Spirit is speech for Him. There
Is a breathing In and at once q breath
ing out.
AS we receive the Holy Spirit, we
cease our distressing fluctuations in
goodness, and continue steadfast."
Suggestions.
It is the spirit.filed Christians, and
not the half-filled Christians that over
flow In blessings to the world.
If man is not filled with the
Spirit, 1t is not because there is not
enough of the Spirit to fill him.
Are we sad? 1t is because we are
not filled with the Comforter. Are
we in doubt? It is because we are
not filled with Him who will take of
Chrlst's truth and show 1t to us.
No one was ever filled with the
Spirit that he did not at once seek
to fill others.
Illustrations.
The Holy Spirit is fire. If there is
impurity in your life, He can burn it
up.
The Holy Spirit is the wind. If
your ship is stationary, 1t is because
the breeze of divine power is not fill
ing the sails.
The Holy Spirit is a dove. If you
are in deep waters, 1t is because He
has not brought you the olive leaves
of peace and hope.
The Holy Spirit Is living water If
you are thirsty, it is because you
know nothing of the full satisfaction
which He alone can give.
Questions.
Am I living with the Christ of the
Upper Chamber, and not with the
glorious Spirit whom He promised?
Is my Christian life full, or half
full?
What fruits of the Spirit am l fail
ing to bring forth?
Quotations.
Is it so wonderful to ask for tho
power of the Spirit? We ought to
have hundred times more power
than Elijah and Elisha had.-Moody.

A Prayer.
o. blessed God, our Father in heav-
Ell. Thou art near to all who call upon
Thee. in whom we have our being.
Once more we come to lift our voices
in public thanksgiving and praise un-
to Thee the Glver Of all good: to make
confession of our sins and 10 receive
Thy pardoning grace and the assur-
ance of our adoption. through Jesus
Christ. We pray for the presence of
the Holy Spirit. that our spirits may
be attuned to the service in which we
are engaged. May our hearts be de-
livered from all fear and i'm the spirit
of joyful confidence may we approach
Thee. We thank Thee that Thou art
more ready to give all good things than
earthly parents are to hear the prayers
of their offspring We thank Thee
for all Thy gifts to us in days gone
by. Thou hast led us out into large
places and put a new song in our
mouths, even praise unto our God. We
thank Thee for our goOdly heritage:
the lines have fallen to us in pleasant
places Bless our country, we be-
seech Thee and those who are in au-
thority over us. those whom the people
have appointed to administer their af-
fairs-glve them sound Judgment.
Bring good out of apparent evil and
may the principles of truth and right
eousness be established in the hearts
of the people. Deliver our land from
all peril. Open the eyes of all the peo-
pie to see wherein the strength of our
nation lies, and what are her weak
nesses and what the diseases that are
eating at her vitals Forbid that we
should be blinded by our own miscon-
ceptlon or by the misleadings of others.
to those things that are important for
the welfare of society and the State.
And grant, o, God. that the hearts
of the people may be turned unto Thee,
TO righteousness and truth; that their
spiritual vision may not be altogether
dulled and blunted by moral things,
and may we understand that 1t is only
righteousness that eXalteth a nation.

An Experience OF DR.. Patton.

The recent narrow escape of DR..
John G. Fatton from losing his life in
n fight between hostile tribes of can
nibals on one of the unevangelzed
islands in the South Pacific, calls to
mind one of the most interesting of
his early experiences. 1t Is a story of

Of child sailing on the ocean. He
kept asking his mother when he should
see the sea. She would point to the
water all around the ship and say,

little one could not understand. To
him that was only water. SO the

are only nature, until Christ has so
