soul-Winnlng a Glorious Service.

daltapo

"Soul-winnlng" Is a large word. II
can very properly be made to cover
everything involved in the establish
man life-Christian child nurture,
helpful religious instruction, the ed
ucation OF the heart in all things of
the Spirit, the discipline of the will
through social service and combating
evil and the open acceptance of
Christ as a personal Saviour.
Even in this limited sense 1t EN-.
braces abandoning sin, self-surrenier,
a sense of forgiveness, willing obedi
ence and service and trust in the
Spirit-things great enough to make
angels shout. Some are not far
from the kingdom, and only need TO
yield definitely to the spirit within
and to openly confess Christ; others
must break with their whole past, its
sinful habits and evil companions
Whatever 1t may involve, winning q
soul is the most glorious service we
can render our Lord.
Soulwinning is the chief business

come all things to all men, that may
by all means save some" The
church is and ought TO be engaged in
many enterprises-ed social
philanthropic and civic, but all these
activities are directly and indirectly
to facilitate and strengthen her main
business of soul-winning. This is
one OF the strong elements of the
great Forward Movement among the
English Wesleyans, that all their
mems clubs, soup kitchens, Pleasant
Sunday Afternoons, and goose clubs
are auxiliary and subordinate to the
great work OF personal evangelism.
Soul-winning is every Christians
personal business. God seeks to of.
fer the world personal salvation, per
sonally presented by those who have
personally experienced 1t. We never
quite know the Joy OF the Christian
life until we have a definite share in
the Christian happiness of another

Won't Employ Drinkers.

Extreme measures to prevent fu-
ture mine disasters have been takel
by the II. c. Frick Coke Company.
Pittsburg, the coking division OF the
United States Steel Corporation. Or
ders have been issued providing for
the dismissal of miners who become
so intoxicated while off duty that they
are incapacitated for work the follow
ing day. The company has also noti-
fed its employees that it will not en-
ploy miners who drink either on or
off duty. This radical action is the
result Of numerous conferences of all
superintendent and other officials OF
the company.
They declare that the use of in
toXicants among the miners, particu-
larly the foreign element, has been
so pronounced in recent years that
they cannot afford to employ them.
At such times, they allege. the men
take chances that they would not take
II in their normal condition.

Enlistment of Minors.

We are indebted to George c. Holt
for the copy Of a decision rendered
by him in the United States District
Court, Southern District of New York,
in the habeas corpus case of a minor,
who sought for his release from the
army on the plea that he enlisted
without the consent of his parents.
1t will be observed that the learned
judge holds that recent decisions give
to the military authorities the right
of which they were deprived by pre-
vious decisions, to punish minor for
enlistment and hold him
until he has completed any sentence
imposed in his case. AS Judge Holt
says: 'The recruiting officers of the
army ought to be freed from the nuis-
ance of enlistments which may at
any time be nullifed." While the
decision is determined necessarily by
the law in this case, 1t is interesting
to note the fact that Judge Holt is
familiar with army conditions, he
having served during the Civil War
in the olunteers.-Army and Navy
Journal.

Drinking Women.

The Sun, in discussing women
and Drinking" says:
at is true that Of recent years the
practice of drinking by women at pub
lie restaurants has much increased.
Formerly 1t cast a reproach on women
and raised a doubt of their respecta-
bility, but now If woman orders a
cocktail, whisky, champagne or any
other alcoholic beverage 1t attracts no
special attention in restaurant"
This is certainly the case, and many
of them are of class of which fifteen
years ago most of the members would
not have thought of doing such
thing. 1t is quite possible to deduce
too much from this, but 1t is also easy
to underestimate the conclusion.
While what sensational" preachers
or sensational" papers say on such
matters, as though an epidemic OF
drunkenness Is prevailing among re-
spectacle women, is not to be taken
for exact truth, there is a serious
change in progress. young society
women" under the influence of imi-
tation, which most of them are inca
pable of resisting, are falling into evil
ways. One coterie includes fourteen
at the present time, all of whom
drink wine freely, and only three re-
ject stronger liquors. They are all
members of Episcopal and Presby-
terian churches, except one, who is
an ex-Methodist. The fact that wom-
en- Of high grade and their imitators
can drink in public hotels and res
taurants without exciting remark or
attention is more portentous than is
the mere fact that these particular
women drink.-New York Christian
Advocate.

A Double Life.

Not many years ago the president
OF a large loan company in Canada
was convicted of fraud. For a long
time he had been speculating in stock
until his defalcations grew to hun
dreds of thousands. To keep the
facts from the auditors, he had been
obliged to handle a double set of
books, one for his own personal in.
spection, and the other for the in
spection of the stockholders. The
difficulties involved in this double
life increased until the situation be-
came unbearable, and he went into
bankruptcy.
There are many men to-day who
are living double lives. The part
that the world sees is plausible and
respectable. The other part is un.
clean and repulsive. Robert Louis
Stevenson's classic entitled, "Dr.
Jekyl and Mr.. HYDE" is an interpre-
tation of these dual tendencies. DIR.
Jekyl is physician of repute; Mr..
Hyde is the personification of his has.
er parts, and he is debauched and
brutal. These two lives lived In the
self same town by the self same indi.
yidual finally betray their authorship.
and the mask of respectability Is
torn away. 1t is always thus. The
secret sins will inevitably express
themselves. and the veneer will soon
cease to conceal the truth. The life
that Is prostituted to sin leaves its
traces, and a train of hide penal.
ties follows in its wake.

Detestable and Heinons.

The class at kirk had been reading
;he story of Joseph and his brethren,
and it came to the turn of the visit
ing minister to examine the boys.
The replies to all of his questions
had been quick, intelligent and cor
rect Such as:
What great crime did these sons
Of Jacob commit"
'They sold their brother Joseph"
"Quite correct. And for how
much?"
Twenty pieces OF silver"
And what added to the cruelty
and wickedness of these bad BROTH
ers?"
A pause.
What made their treachery even
more detestable and heinous?"
Then a bright, little fellow
stretched out an eager hand.
"Well, my mani"

Courts deny that the saloon is one OF
the privileges or immunities of clt.-
Zens, guaranteed under the Four
teenth Amendment. and this denial.
taken in connection with their con-
struction of this amendment, means
that to keep saloon is not liberty:
that II is not the pursuit of happi-

ton. and that 1t is an unlawful busi-
ness.

The Unseen Ideal.

"The situation that has not its
duty, its ideal, was never yet occu-

If we cannot find the ideal amid our
daily circumstances, we shall never
find 1t anywhere or follow 1t. II we
feel no responsibility, no sense OF duty
where we stand, we condemn our
selves in thus failing to recognize
what Is really there. Young people
often look for ideals and duties In the
clouds, and miss the best of life and
the truest Of growth by their folly

This campaign is somewhat differ
ent than those of other years, on ac-
count of the candidates not being
bothered to death with those who are
constantly seeking fayors. II Is against
the law for any person to solicit a
candidate for subscriptions Of any
kind. This being true a candidate
can walk down main street knowing
that he viii not be molested by those
who want the loan Of a dime or a
quarter. In former campaigns a can't
date was almost ~ostracized from pub
lie on account of certain voters who
were constantly seeking political IA
vors; now a candidate is as free from
SUCH persons as any individual. There
fore, the law in this respect has ac-
comp1ished wonders. Ii is a pity that
such a law was not enacted years ago.
for it would nave saved many a can
didate a lot of worry and trouble.
Now that it is a reality, every re-
spectacle man should feel proud.
