Second AdVentism.
1854 Girard street

Editor Inc Washington Herald.
The second advent OF Jesus is distinctly
taught in most of the books Of the New
Testament. John the Baptist proclaimed
the kingdom of heaven at hand. But
what was the nature of the coming king
dom? Able Loisy, professor in a Cath
olic university, tells US that Jesus, dur
ing his mortal life, never once directly
nor indirectly. by word or work by open
teaching, by allegory. or parable, or i'm
plicatiOn of any kind, conveyed, or in
tended TO convey, to his immediate dis
ciples, or to the generation that followed
them, that he was God as well as man.
And DR.. p. O'Kelly, in the Ecclesiastical
Review. Italy, has echoed the senti-
ments of Able LOisy, saying that Jesus
acquired the idea that he was TO be
the Messias. The soul Of Jesus" says
the reviewer, united by prayer. conf
dence, and love with God, came TO realize
with great intensity that not only was

all men, but that he himslf was in a
special sense the Son Of God But" he
adds. Jesus WAS not really the Messias,
but the Messias' elect. for his messianic
RUE was not 10 Degln until the ends OF
the world: and there is nothing to pre-
vent us from holding that when Jesus
began his teaching he considered himself
as merely the messenger and prophet
and Messias' elect OF the kingdom. And

teaching OF the primitive church about
him.

cataclysm in which all the wicked were

very evening OF his death he pledged
his apostles that he would soon be with
them in his kingdom"

This Interpretation of the kingdom of
heaven seems TO me most rational.

Prohibition and Statistics.


Editor The Washington Herald:
Under the headline BLOW to Prohibi-
tion.' there appeared in the Friday issue
OF your paper a discussion of the dues-
tlon Of prohibition from a statistical
standpoint In the interest of fair
consideration of this important question.
l desire to urge any one who chances TO
read these lines 20 be chary OF accepting
as true any argument without first an
alyzing the supposed facts on which the
argument is based, and following care
fully the deductions from these premises.
The article in question begins with the
statement that statistics compiled by the
United States Census Office show that
the number OF arrests for drunkenness
increases with the decrease in the num-
Der OF saloons. Then follows a tabular
statement carefully compiled from Census
reports, and the deductions from these
figures are apparently fair enough. II
fails TO state the local conditions that
entirely change the nature Of these sta
tistics
In Maine, for instance a man who is
walking with ease and dignity along the
street. and yet has been drinking is sub
ject 10 arrest for drunkenness; whereas
in New York that same man would be
UnnOtieed.
My point is simply that figures alone
show nothing; but figures studied in con-
nection with thorough knowledge Of
local conditions may be of great value.

Milk. Wholesale and Retail.

Editor The Washington Herald
To-day I received the following notice
from my milk dealer: Owing TO the in
crease OF every kind OF feed, as well as
the high price Of COWS with re-
grets, I am compelled to raise my price
for milk and cream after November l."
How consistent the reason, when not one
milk dealer in twenty ever owned a cow!
For years the dealers have paid from Is
to Is cents a gallon for milk and sold it
for S2-16 to IS cents a gallon profit. Now
they say they pay p cents a gallon and
sell il FOR 26 TO 20. But the conscientious
dealer only adds the cents to the Gus
toners who are able to buy a quart or
more at time The poor man or woman
who can only buy a pint at "A time for
some sick one must pay AT the rate Of 40
cents gallon. not quite 100 per cent. to
the poor dealer.
II the consumers would buy the canned
milk for one month they would have the
dealers knocking az their door, asking
them 20 come back at the old price Not
one OF them would go out of business at
the old price.
If our grocers should charge 40 cents for
an article as staple as milk that costs
them p cents (sugaT. for instance), these
same plilk dealers would set up an awful
howl. and yet the groCers have to deliver
their GyOds all over the city.
