SURELY SALOONS ENOUGH TO
SATIATE,

1t is not our purpose IN this article to
force our views of temperance upon
anyone. Enough has been said already
upon both sides of the issue which has
been raised in this town by the granting
of license by the town council permit
ting another saloon to conduct business
within our corporate limits. Further
more, what we would say upon the ques-
ton would have no weight upon the Is
sue whatever; for those in authority
have spoken and have said that there
may yet be another dispensary for that
which lives and fattens upon the souls,
upon the hearts of mothers and children,
upon crushed hopes. and upon the dam
nation of the unfortunate.
Furthermore, let Gus hope that the
decision was for the best. For there
may yet come good out of the way in
which the council settled the matter.
God moves in mysterious way.
Some people already see the dawn of
q bStlCl d1J 1OI OdhlduIl, anu llhS lllSlll
We make a prediction. We make it,
not to prove ourselves as possessing
greater foresight than do others, but
as one of the many who can readily
read the signs of the times. A better
day for Oakland is seen in the predic-
ton that the people of this town-the
church members and others-will soon
appreciate the fact that there are now
too many saloons here, and the best way
to limit the number and to cure the evil
is to treat everyone of them alike, and
do away with all of them.
1t does not take a wise man to say
that eleven places for selling liquor are
too many for Oakland; that there are
too many temptations; and that the
only way to remedy the evil is to treat
all exactly alike, and do away with the
whole business here.
Oakland has population, let US say,
of about l,500. There are eleven places
in which intoxicants are sold. This
gives Oakland saloon for every 1876
people including women and children,
within the corporate limits of this small
town. Surely such a supply shall soor
surfeit and make sick.

HOYES.

To the country child, the children S
day service is the important annual
event. The training here received cul-
tivates grace and refinement, and pre-
pares the child for religious duties. 1t is
thus that habits are formed that enter
into the child's character for life. The
exercises were well rendered here on
Sunday evening to large and attentive
audience. Much care and thought are
required for the carrying out of these
programs; but,s after such successful
efforts, should we not feel glad that we
have helped the cause of God and of
humanity?
