carmen are entitled to share in this
general advance.
g.. Street railway employees In oak
land, Point Richmond, Los Angeles and
sacramento have had their wages in
creased since April 1S, and their work
is not to be compared in difficulty and
danger with the work exacted of its
employees by the United Railroads
g. Since April Is the conditions gov
erning the running time of the cars
have been disturbed, and the cars have
peen ov.ercrowded to such an extent as
to require of the employe a great deal
more work than he was formerly COM
PEELED to perform and to entail upon
him a much greater physical and ner-
PEELED to undergo.
10. The condition Of the streets of
San Francisco increases the danger to
the men, the passengers and the public.
The streets are filled with debris and
building material, and the sidewalks
throughout the burned district are de-
stroyed, thus compelling pedestrians
to walk in the streets. A great de-
gree of care and caution on the part
of the carmen is therefore required,
and their work is more arduous and
wearing. Stoppages and blockades are
sarily continue during the rebuilding
Of the city.
II. Even before the fre the company
was making conditions more onerous
for the platform men by increasing the
speed of the cars, enlarging their size
and taking away and lessening the time
of the lay overs" allowed the men at
the ends of the lines.
IL. Since the fire more passengers
have been carried per car mile than
ever before in San Francisco, while
prior to the fire the cars of the United
Railroads were carrying more passen-
gers per car mile than any other street
railway system in the United States.
.13. The eight-hour schedule is every
where recognized as the standard, and
public opinion Is surely forcing the
adoption Of that standard in all de-
partments of human labor
IA. The interests of the city demand
the higher rate of wages and an eight
hour day.
Is. Due regard for the physical well
fare Of the men requires a reduction
of the hours of labor and an increase
in the amount of pay.
16. The former schedule of hours and
wages is below the standard that now
prevails in San Francisco for labor re-
curing similar skill and attended by
similar hardships.
IL. Under the former schedule. which
required ten hours of labor per day.
the carmen were kept on duty longer
than a proper regard for their health
and happiness warranted.
IS. The proposed schedule of hours
and wages can be adopted and enforced
by the company without detriment to
itself and without impairing its obliga-
tions TO the public.

The Sunday School Lesson for last Sab
bath was on the subject of Temperance We
herewith present some facts and figures which
serve to impress us with the appalling magni-
tude of the ruin wrought by intemperance. Ac-
cording to figures furnished by the Government
Bureau of Statistics there are consumed in the
United States in one year about forty million
barrels of beer ninety-eight million gallons of
proof spirits and thirty and one-half million
gallons of wine These drinks take out of the
pockets Of the consumers in single year the
sum of nearly one and half billion of dollars
This sum would provide 100000 families, or
2,5OO,OOO people with comfortable homes, cloth
ing and provisions for twelve whole months,
and leave balance to erect over $4,000
churches, each costing $4,000
The central Presbyterian. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1856-1908, 1906-03-28

Or if we view the question from the stand
point Of the effect of intemperance on character
or happiness or home life, and could venture to
place money value upon these moral and
spiritual qualities which are simply above price
1t would be very conservative and far within the
undoubted facts to credit an average of at least
one wrecked home to every saloon doing bust
ness in America during the past five years
That means that 100000 despoiled homes. and
at the rate of $4,000 damage from each saloon
keeper, it would call for an indemnity of
S1,2OO,OOO,OOO Cone billion, two hundred mil
hons), a sum nearly three times as great as the
total capital now invested in the entire liquor
business
The central Presbyterian. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1856-1908, 1906-03-28

Or to make comparison of other statistics
that have been gathered-The Internal Reve-
nue. receipts of the United States for the fiscal
year ending June 30, 1905, amounted to $3.50,
97S,976.70 Of this amount $135. .95S.513.12
was from spirituous liquors, $5O,36O. .553 Is
from fermented liquors and $45, ,659,91O 80
from tobacco. The six leading States contri-
butlng these vast sums, with the amount con
tributed by each are: Illinois, $51 1872 ,7O3 IS;
New York, $27, ,991 ,572.2O; Indiana, $24 ,652,,
244.2G; Kentucky, $21, ,754, ,399 70; Ohio, $19.,
782,615.61; Pennsylvania, $19, 1876, ,17O42 This
is tremendous drink bill paid by these States.
The number of soldiers in both armies during
the Civil War was 2,788,284. Supposing that
drink destroys 10000 souls year, directly and
indirectly, an army equal in size to the vast
hosts that marched down from the North and
up from the South would have perished since
the close of that awful struggle, as the nations
offering on the altar of her saloon system. The
total number of ministers of all denominations.
including Catholics, in the United States. in
1904, was 151,113; churches, 1919 .658: com
municants, 30,313,311. That will give us an
average of less than 152 members to a congrega-
tion. The number of persons who have perish
ed at the hands of the liquor traffic since the
war between the States would if alive and con-
Verted, form 1850 churches of the average size

us hope that the peace sentiment of the religion

the spirit Of good will among the peoples Of the
earth. 1t advocates the arbitration of all diff

arise. The leading nations of the earth are
partially committed to such a policy already,

The death Of Dr. George W. White, one of
our most beloved and influential ministers. is
announced in the following communication
from Rev. Chas. d. Gilkeson:
The death of DR.. George W. White pastor
emeritus Moorefeld Church, occurred at his
home in MOorefeld, w. Va, on March 23rd at
2:3O A. NJ. For months the failure of his
health and strength has been perceptible but
he was able to be on the streets and occasionally
to preach. He had hoped to be able to preach on
March 1lth, the forteth anniversary of his first
sermon in Moorefeld, but his health was such
that he was not able to be present even at the
service. Still no apprehension was felt until the
seventeenth, when he was taken with a chill.
followed by congestion of the lungs He retain
ed consciousness almost to the last and talked
as his strength would permit, to the many who
came IN to see him, encouraging them to trust in
the neUer failing promises of God. When asked
a short time before his death how he was he re-

Dr. Hopkins also writes of his friend in these
tender words: II learned last evening that orr
beloved and noble brother Rev. Geo. William
White, ID. d., died yesterday morning from
pneumonia. He had been very infrm all the

The princely gifts of the worlds benefactors
and the bravest deeds in defense of truth, and
the simplest service of the owliest disciple, may
be OF equal value in the eyes Of God The
humbest child performing its daily task as unto
the Lord, is doing the same thing as Paul when
testifying before Caesar or the martyr singing
praises amidst the flames. For to him. all obe-
dience rendered with the same motive is the
same. His standard of excellence is the quality
of love and the degree of spiritual force in our
deeds. The quiet waters in the deep channel of
a narrow stream may be as ponderous as the thin
layers spread over the shadows of a wide bay
The standard of all is the gift of self "Give
all thou hast: high Heaven rejects the lore of
nicely calculated less or more'

know the meaning of every part of it, is not an
essential, and might hinder the effectiveness or

THE WORK OF SPIRITS.

1t was good spirit clothed in spot
less white that went to her and cured
her of paralysis. Such was the allega-
lions OfFMiss Louise Tahse, of Spring
field, Mass, who had suffered from par
alysis for six years. She said the spirit
appeared and told her to take an icy
plunge in the bathtub. She was then
commanded to go through queer gest-
ures and then go to bed and take nap.
She was awakened by the same spirit
and told to walk out on the varanda
roof where she would find Jacobs lad
der. This she was to ascend, accom-
panied by Christ. She awoke from the
delusion, threw her crutches aside and
walked down stairs unassisted.
