Protecting African Natives.

Germany has a colony with an area
of more than 100000 square miles in
southwest Africa, where the mission
aries of the Rhenish and Finnish mis-
sionary societies are at work. On
September 16, 1907, the governor of
the colony issued an important decree
concerning the import and sale of
spirituous liquors. The measure pro-
vided that saloon keepers and other
dealers in liquor must secure a spe-
cial license, which costs between $50
and $3.50. 1t is forbidden to give or
sell spirituous liquors to any native.
though house servants are permitted
to receive small quantities from their
masters, though not in place of wages.
II servants become intoxicated
through liquor given by an employer,
the latter must pay fine or 60 to
jail. If the offense is repeated, the
punishment becomes severe. Con.
traventions by licensed persons are
punished still more severely.

The Harness of War.

A breath of summer swept over
the land, giving promise of wealth of
bloom and prodigality of harvest; but
the pillow stood idle and rusted in the
waiting fields. The meadows went I'M

riches OF peace, implanted. Every

a head beneath a yoke, nor rebelled

Oh Gain no longer oppose and perSo-
cute the church. The daughters of
men" accept proposals of marriage
from the 'sons of God" and, as re-
suit, the deluge.
The pagan world tried to kill the
church for nearly 800 years It's eff
forts only multiplied her members
and power. The blood of the mar.
tyrs has ever been the seed Of the
church. When, however, Constantine
offered to join wealth, honor and polit-
lcal power to the church she ac-
cepted the Offer and what the second
Adam refused the second Eve gladly
received, and the result was fallen
church. We see in this Satan's usual
tactics. He likes to appear as an
angel of light. He would help us. He
offers to help Eve to knowledge and
power. He would help Christ in sup
plying him with food and in giving
him earthly glory.
In proportion as the church has re-
sisted the wiles of this charmer she
has been strong, and in proportion as
she has accepted and formed alliances
with the world she has been weak
Israel alone with God could never be
conquered. but when she formed al
lianceJ with Egypt or the Canaanites
her enemies found little difficulty in
making quick work of her. Hezekiah
was not overcome by the bold threats
of the messengers of Sennacherib.
Their insolent words drove him to
God, who sent his angel to strike dead
his enemies, but when the messengers
of Observation-Disclosures came with words
Of friendliness and fattery he opened
to them his treasures, and letting
them into the secret of his strength,
was thus the occasion of Israel's
downfall.
A prominent preacher said some
time ago that Puritanism was forever
dead in New York city. He might
have added that in many of the
churches Christianity was as dead as
Puritanism, and / wonder what rela-
ton the death of Puritanism has had
to the death of Christianity. We have
40 fancy for the style of hat and coat
which the Puritans wore, but in the
Puritan character there was sturdy
stuff. Theirs was no invertebrate the
ology, jelly-fsh morality or india-rub-
Der conviction. They were such men
rs you would like for your daughter
to marry; as you would trust in bust
ness; as make country great. And
these men of heroic conviction were
not blue and melancholy ascetics.
Their pleasure was not of the variety
theater type. 1t was not made up of
froth, but flowed from beneath the
throne, deep as the river of God.
The sons of God went counting the
daughters of men, and that Is often
the case to-day. Some churches court
the world more than the world courts
them. Such a church hopes to get
something out of the world by becom-
ing worldly.
The union Of the church with the
world in it's vanities means loss of
power. A Brahmin said to mission
airy in India: 1--WE are beginning to
find you Christians out. You are not
as good as your book; if you were
the world would soon be converted"
Worldly men despise the Christianity
that apes their ways and is, therefore,
no better than themselves.

POOR JUDGMENT.

reported as having said in a recent
interview: We haven't spent a dol
lar that We were not obliged to
spend during the year, and our fu-
ture expenditures will depend en-
tirely on how the country is going
to treat the railroads"
This sort of threat usually results
in increasing public indignation
against the roads and making the
question more difficult thing tc
cope with.
The railroads, in common with all
other lines of business, have suffer.
ed more or less from the business de-
preston of the last year. The PEG.

than common justice from the rail.

penses to meet the temporary decline

ment to make the outlay for physi-
cal betterments depend upon the
treatment the railroads shall receive
from the country is an exhibition OF
poor judgment.
