Conscious of many shortcomings, as !

feet. may l say IA word personal Accept
ing the call of the church as an indica-
ton of Providence. the not over welcome
task assigned me was taken up. The SO
have been six busy. happy and ! hum
bly, trust not useless years. With each
added year there has come an increa sing
sense of the responsibility of the work.
My purpose has not been fulfilled, my
dream is not realized. nor my ideal over
taken. But I have at least tried, while
keeping my ear and heart close to the
ministry and the churches. to do my
whole duty in the sight of God ana to
safeguard the rights of all. In the very
nature Of the case it was Impossible to
satisfy every one or to prevent occa-

my presentation of the case of condition
has resulted in disappointing appoint

knowingly "planted a thorn In any mans

ALCOHOL AS A BEVERAGE.
Marked Decrease in It's Consumption in
Great Britain

The apparent decrease in the consumption
of alcohol beverage in Great Britain
exctes much interest and speculation.
United Safes Consul Mahin at Nottingham.
who has made report on the subject says
that statistics show that the consumption
of both beer and spirits in 1904 was less
than in any one of the preceding fifteen
years. and that the decline has been con-
tinuous since 1900. The total revenue from
the tax on alcohol is about S15, eco 900 less
per annum in Great Britain than in the
United States, though the per capita of
such revenue in Great Britain is about 81
as against about 50 in the United States.
I'm spite of the decrease shown by Off
cial statistics" says Consul Mahin. Great
Britain continues to stand far above some
other countries in per capita consumption
of alcoholic beverages This is particularly
notable in comparison with local-option
countries. Great Bri;a ms annual per capita
consumption of proof spirit is placed at
4 gallons. while that of the five countries
where local option prevails is stated thus:
United States, 2.IT; Sweden 2.s9; Norway,
101; Canada, 132; New Zealand. 1.72. This
is average of less than . gallons for
these countries. while the avera ge of Euro
pean countries IS nearly gallons Natur-
ally temperance propagandists urge local
option as offering means of at least mit-
eating the admitted drink evil in Great
Britain But until parliament, which con-
trolls all liquor legislation, manifests SYM
pathy with the movement the propa ganda
is hopeless.
The Public House Trust Association.
whose objects and methods have been de-
scribed i'll a report from this consulate,
continues its work along Temperance lines,
though hampered by lack OF funds and by
lack of popular appreciation of its aims.
The trust now owns 10 public houses scat
tered throughout the country, all conducted
on the same lines, namely. subordinating
alcoholics to other beverages and to food.

Some of the trust houses paying dvi-
! dends. though this is a secondary considera-
ton. TIE dividends are not allowed to go
beyond per cent on the invested capital.
This trust is fairly entitled to a share of
the credit for the apparent declining use of
alcoholics In Great Britain

loss for 1908 was SIS, 100000. In
former years the pests had not
