standing over her. with appraised knife.

the act OF descending. and to shoot
might result In injury to the woman.
"'God Almighty tells ME to Kill
you,' the crazy man said.
"'Stop!' cried the negro policeman
I'm God, and command you to stop!

The office and purpose Of conscience
is this-to make known to me what
things are morally sweet and what
things are morally bitter: that is. to
reveal to me what things are right
and what things are wrong. Con-
science reveals TO me that a certain
thing is wrong; but It does more than
that-it warns ple and commands me

the supreme counsellor and comman-
der in my life. and to its imperious
decisions everything else in my being

o.eIln. In England. Drink BIN.

English temperance reformers are
pointing with satisfaction to the i'm
portant decrease recently made In the
expenditure OF the people upon strong
drink The amount for 1904 Is less than
the amount for 1899. by Gl6.9t0.o62.
This enormous reduction Is discussed,
an article In recent issue OF the
Daily News as follows:
There was a bishop once who said
he would rather see England free
than England sober. The obvious reply
was that sobriety Is freedom. and that
drunkenness IL the worst form OF
slavery. From this point OF view the
country seems to be seriously travelling
the path Of freedom. Once more In his
Dawson Burns records really remark
able decline In the national drink bill.
When this decline first manifested II.
self we adopted an air OF caution. We
pointed out that some two hundred
Thousand men. many OF them STEADY
drinkers, were absent fighting In
South Africa. and also that the drain
on the national resources must dimin.
ish the margin available for liquor.
But the mon have returned. and trade
has returned also. and still the decline
continues.
1T 10 not 4 mere check In the up
ward movement. II II q plunge in the
opposite direction. without. we believe.
any parallel In the record OF the drink
trafic II is true that the consumption
OF alcohol proceeds In . sort OF curve.
roughly following industrial prosper
ity. but the curvinG theory. though
sound enough In q general way. does
not nearly account for the present 70.
markable development.
Let us see what the actual figures Of
the decline -arc. II Will DC reEem-
bered that drink reached its high
water mark, II we may use . bull.
In 1899. the year Of the great patriot
ic ebullition. II IL well to note the
association of jingoism and the drink
boom. The average consumption Of
wine. spirits. and beer had steadily
risen under the influence Of 'Loums'
In speculation and prosperity In com.
merce until II eliminated In the year
OF the outbreak OF the war In figures
OF quite alarming character. But
ever since then. so to speak. Philip
has been growing more sober. md
whereas the national drink bill In that
year was Gls5.927.227. last year 1t had
fallen to E16S.9s7l65.
"a brewers profit of flo.0OO = year
means the employment of fewer work.
people than a cotton manufacturers
profit OF EI.000. And the product OF
the one help life. while the product
OF the other too often destroys II. But
handsome as the decline has been.
there is still a mountain OF waste and
ruin for temperance reformers to at.
tack. The drink bill IL going down.
but 1t is s:ill bill OF appalling mag-
nitude. We spend on alcohol every
year more than the total national ex.
penditure: we spend enough to pay OF
the national debt in four years: enough
to establish old-age pensions on y
scale undreamed Of by Mr.. Frederick
Rogers enough TO recover in decade

pie.
