what Some People Say Reduced 20 an
AbsurdIty-If Alcohol Gives Strength
why DO Athletes Abstain Whiio In
Training 7-Upsets Body and Mind.
Some say alcohol gives strength. IL
so. why do athletes abstain while
training for n race or other contests
requiring special strength?
Some say alcohol gives endurance.
IL so. why do great employers of labor
cut of the supply of drink when work
of an especially arduous nature Is re-
quired?
Some say alcohol sustains the health.
II so. why do insurance companies
take total abstalners at q lower pre-
MUM or give them larger bonuses
than others?
Some say that alcohol is good as a
stimulant for brain workers. If this
is fact then all Psychologists are
wrong, as they unanimously agree that
the smallest quantity of alcohol upsets
the balance of the mind, and DR.. Shep-
pard. of London. and many other au-
th0rities state that about forty per
cent. of the cases of insanity are
caused by its use.
Some say 1t is dangerous to give up
the use of alcohol suddenly. If so.
why do prisoners, all of whom are
obliged to abstain suddenly when COM
mltted to Jail. improve in health?
Some say why did God make such
things IL they were not to be used?
God never made alcohol. 1t is not
found anywhere in nature but is poi
son manufactured from rotten and de-
cayed vegetable matter.
Some say our Lord made wine, and
therefore it must be good. and must
be meant for use. No doubt, all total
abstainers would be prepared to drink
wine as our Lord made it. from pure
water 1t is wine made from ferment-
ed grapes and purified grain which
contains the deadly poison called alco-
hol. to which they object.
Some say little alcohol is good
thing to take when weak and tagged.
As alcohol contains no food property
whatever is not this absolutely wrong
conclusion? J only acts as whip to
the tired horse. which draws out lit
tie more of its exhausted strength, but
puts nothing in its place. A glass OF
warm milk will give the same feeling
of relief. and at the same time make
the body and mind stronger.
The liquor traffic is n destroying
monster, which only continues to live
because it is fed by the moderate
drinkers. Thousands of drunkards
perish every year. and the ghastly
army is daily recruited from the ranks
of the moderate drinkers.
Count up your friends who were
once moderate drinkers. but have been
ruined by strong drink. Think Of the
danger of your loved ones. and remem-
Der that their safety may depend upon
your example.
1t takes courage and unsolishness TO
abstain, but face the facts and ask
yourself
What is my duty?

rightness OF our relations with all other
beings and with the laws and forces
OF the universe in which we find our
place. Everything worth having or
worth desiring Is involved in charac-
ter. in being simply and soundly right.

comes right. Wnat 1t Is TO eacn one

"When the soul to sin hath died,
True and beautiful and sound
Then all Garth is sanctified.
Upsprings paradise around"
A rough-cast man rose in a country
meeting-house to tell his experience:
"It was in the north country, when
the snow lay deep on the ground. that
the Lord God found out Jonathan
Hinckley and converted hts soul. And
the Ieafess trees gave praise TO God. -
Is there one among us who might not
report to himself somethiny like this
happy converts story? Who has not
at some time felt sure of his place in
the great order, and seen all the world
irradiated with a light which really
shone from within the mind?
II man has lost his faith in God
and still holds fast his own integrity
well for the man. But, in this very
concern to be true to the highest law
he knows, he is unconsciously q wor-
shipper. Blessed is the man who hun
gers and thirsts for righteousness. for
already he holds In his soul the richest
of all treasures. We who believe in
God need not be seriously troubled
about the fate or state of honest non
believers, for we may count their very
honesty as a sign of the real presence
and the finest inspiration.
Once accept the principle of duty,
and all life becomes an honorable dis
cipline and a steady advance There
Is no higher rank on earth or in heaven
than the rank of personal goodness;
and he who loves Ii, seeks il, and
practices it for its own sake is surely
moving, however slowly toward the
perfect life.
Here also is the cure. and the only
cure, for our restlessness and self
dissatisfaction. "No man can serve
two masters" But he who falls
heartily in love with virtue is no
longer distracted by q divided allegi-
ance. He has nothing else to do but
to occupy himself with learning and
doing what is right and reasonable
Having settled the central principle
and leading purpose of his life, every
step onward and upward makes the
next easier; and the law of habit con-
tinually operates to confirm this deep
hearted choice. He is no longer driven
by the lash of conscience; he is no
more a servant, but son, and the
Fathers house is his happy home.

Hollow Ground Razors.

people often wonder why German
hollow ground is the boast of American
razor makers said a cutlery salesman.
"They want to know why we can't grind
our own razors here. We have the men
and the implements and We can grind
as keen an edge, but we can't get the
white, silvery color of the German grind
ing. There is no trade secret about it.
1t is just some peculiar quality in the
water used to wet the stones that gives
the blade it's clean whiteness. In a real
German hollow ground razor that
whiteness lasts as long as the blade"

AT that time 1t was necessary to have two

BIBLES IN ALL LANDS.
Stories Of Colporteurs in the British
and Foreign Bible Society.

From the London Daily Mail
The hundred and first report of the Brit
ish and Foreign Bible Society is fasct-
mating story of a British organiza ton
spreading Bibles by the million all over
the world.
During the past year the society has is
sued total of 1851 ,645 Bibles New Tes-
taments and portions of Scripture. In the
course of It's existence it has sent out 1872
537,746 copies of the Holy Scriptures COM
plete or in parts.
To carry the Scriptures from door to
door the society employed last year $50
colporteurs at cost of $4,000. IF our
eyes could trace these humble Bible SELL
ers up and down the world" says the re-
port, we should see them busy among
Indian rice fields and along Chinese water
ways across the Canadian prairies and
through the Australian bush and beside
the great African lakes; we should watch
them sheltering in native huts in the
snowy defiles of the Andes and threading
their path under trails of purple orchids
through the forests of Brazil"
Stories of the colporteurs at their work
provide interesting reading.
Petrenko, Siberian colporteur, writes:
Between the villages of Berenovia and
Kemarchi the driver and I nearly persisted
In bad blizzard. We were on the steppes
some twenty versts from our destination
Thank heaven, we managed to get through;
our horses were good ones"
Sabrikin, also in Siberia, tells of how
one of the Russian soldiers on his way to
the front saw a New Testament being Of
fered to some one else. He pulled out his
purse and counted out the money and
then, Selling the book in his hands, rever-
emily kissed it.
Arequipa, the city of the Sacred Heart"
in Peru, is place where the Bible has been
banned and burned and where the colpor-
teur has never been able to stay more than
few days. Two colporteurs went there
an n NV ibar oir1fla
men. Persecution followed and Arequpa,
as the following quotation from the report
shows, was soon in an uproar
THE controversy between liberals and
clericals in Arequipa became acute. The
colporteur, Espinoza. while selling Bibles,
was brutality attacked and badly mauled in
the streets by the secret police and march,
co off prisoner. Once in the police
office EspinoZa protested against this out-
rage claimed protection and asserted his
rights in the circulation of the Bible, where
upon he was set free
Last year the colporteurs sold over 2.2J0,-
600 of the scriptures.
