The speaker said that there is too
much adulteratlon In the present mode
Of life. The tendency Is for one to
take advantage of another. Short
weights, cut rates and food adultera-
lions are daily creating lively interest
There is "A need for return TO hon
osty and fair dealing as there Is need
for more purity OF life.
Rev. Young declared that recently
he and u companion went through the
gambling dens Of this city I'm disguise,
and they there saw more than five hun
dred men around the green tables, car
rying on the unlawful and nefarlous
act OF gambling. He stood ready TO
tell those whose duty Il is TO enforce
the city ordinances OF the evils that
are openly carried on and he was ready,
too, to help purify the city Of wrong
doing,

and profaning, Men who are brave
in the defense Of right, and who are
charitable, sympathetic and just, are
needed TO talk and work for the adj
yancement Of the world,
FOR THE ACTIVE LIFE.
Rev f. r. EDDY Of the First Unita-
rian church, preached at Unity hall
yesterday. therefore ! speak unto
them in parallels, because seeing they
see not, and hearing they hear not,
neither do they understand" was the
text that formed the basis Of his re-
marks.
The sermon was calculated TO Illus
trate the difference between the prac-
tlcal life and the theoretical or dreamy
phase, This age Of thrift and pro-
gression In many ways needs the use
OF brains along all the lines Of activity,
religious and otherwise. The three
great visions of existence, continued
the speaker are those Of power, justice
and faith. The first comes Of knowl-
edge, and is sure. The second has
best been expressed I'm latter times by
the socialists. The liberal church OF
today has that vision Of faith which APP
peals to the modern thought Ortho-
dox theology is beginning TO be looked
upon as grotesque and unreal,
TEMPERANCE HER THEME,
Miss Marie c. Brohm, the w c, I,
u. organizer of Chicago, spoke yes
terday morning I'm the Central Chris
tlan church, and in the evening In the
Phillips Congregational church, In
her morning address she said
The practical thing for you and me
Is for US TO learn individually what
Christ would have us be TO be the
light Of the world What the world
needs today is more than mere intel
lectual Christianity It needs spiritual
power What we need today is the
coming closer to God and his power
so the light may shine and overcome
darkness. The more unpopular the
temperance cause Is IN your commun-
ity the more need that you should
stand and be shining light for God.
That you should use the power God has
given you and touch other lives and
bring them to him.
In her evening lecture, Miss Brehm
said;
"The United States spends yearly,
exactly 81, 100000 for liquor, $780,
100000 for tobacco, Sl7b, 100000 for edu-
cation, 1910, 900, 900 for bread and $780,
spends nearly seven times as many
dollars for liquor as It does for public
education, and perhaps that is why we
haven't enough sense TO overcome the
liquor traffic.

cause for complaint would not be so

smothered by drunken mothers; 5000
sui 'des during the year can be ac-
credited TO alcohol drinks, 1903 muir
