Gods Fellowship With Need.

Notice that the voice of need is the
voice of God. That need Is an ap-
peal to God, we easily believe. His
tenderness guarantees His notice; but
here is another attitude Of His love,
and a new emphasis upon its meas
ure. Paul hears the Macedonian cry
for help, and he and his companions
conclude that they have been listen
ing to the voice of God. They have
not only grasped the idea that the
needy Macedonian has spoken to
God. He is somehow Gods represen-
tative-not only suppliant for Gods
bounty, but a messenger to speak
Gods will. And these heralds of the
cross, loosing from Troas and cross
ing the Aegean are. showing loyal
obedience as we'll as responsive SYM
pathy,
We need to learn that truth more
thoroughly. God has identified Him
self with human need. Surely the
life of the Man of Sorrows teaches us
nize in His picture of the judgment.
"Inasmuch as We did it unto one Of
the least of these My brethren, ye did
it unto Me-" This is love overpow-
ering! Every craving for food in
feeble, famishing bodies is con-
tinuance of His wilderness fasting;
every prison bar of every pining cap
tive a counterpart of the fetters of
the savage soldiery in the governors
palace; every shooting pain of every
diseased frame an addition to the
agony of the crashing nails and pierre
ing thorns on the cross. "Ye did it
unto Me-" What a marvellous state
ment of fellowship!
The condemnation of the miser1
able victims of selfishness was in the
face that they had not listened to the
pleading Of the hungry, suffering
Christ. Now this is the lesson: The
Macedonian need is Gods cry. The
response to the need is obedience to
Him. The failure to respond is re-
bellion.-''The Captain Of Our
Faith" by Wallace MacMullen, D. D:

Hear this from Bar and Buffet:
SThe prohibitionists are gaining
ground steadily and rapidly. Prohi-
bition is no longer remote possibil-
ity, but a menacing probability.
Herr Wurm declared at the Esscn
Socialist Congress that drunkenness
is the result of long hours, low wage.
and unhealthy dwellings.

Self-Protection.

tection," he added, "a majority of
them saw the propriety Of our action
and remained, while those who in
sisted. that the rule was interfering
with their private rights, were per-
mitted to go elsewhere and secure
their rights.
For the same reason numbers Of
great corporations, manufacturers
and railway companies havS adopted
similar rule. In the management
of their concerns they have found
that by the carelessness AMI incom-
potency of drinking men great loss
has been caused. In Great Britain
this has been very noticeable. One
large factory in London, which en-
ployed 1000 hands, has been COM
PEELED to suspend business because so
many were disabled by Sunday
drunkenness. This caused an an
nual loss Of s175,000. The Akron
Iron Company, with force of $50
men in their rolling mill, estimate
that drink decreases the productive
power of their men fully twenty-five
per cent. At times it causes the loss
Of whole heats of iron.
One railway wreck caused by a
drunken brakeman or switchman or
befuddled engineer would cause more
loss than the man could repay in his
lifetime, and companies are obliged
to bear the losses caused by employees
and take the blame of their acts

that He preached. Because / am
sensible enough to see the clear evil
dences of the working Of the Spirit
of God in faiths other than my own
IS no reason why should belittle, ac-
tually or inferentially, the supreme
consequence of Christian truth. For
it is as clear as day that whatever
may be the undoubted excellencies OF
other faiths there is no truth so COM
prehensive, no salvation so efficient,
no message so ultimate, universal or
exacting as that which is comprised
in the Christian scheme of things.
Knowing that we should be tolerant
and at the same time fervent, we can
afford to be.
Jesus was militantly righteous. He
had no use for the militarism OF
Rome. Nor would He have any word
of appreciation for the militarism OF
to-day. He was man of peace, ex-
cept when He was face to face with
sin. He was peaceful in His attitude
toward sinners. He was militant
against their sin. Jesus was fighter.
He carried the warfare into the enc
mics country. He could turn His
back upon the representative of or
ganized wickedness. He fought sin
with no care for the cost or the con-
sequences to Himself. But He was
no quarreller. He vas therefore diff
ferent from a host of His disciples.
The trouble with the church, among
other things, is this, that we quarrel
rather than fight. We seem to enjoy
row among ourselves as much as
we fear to take up the cudgels of
truth for God and humanity and go
down to the warfare against wrong
wherever we may assail 1t and what
ever may be the cost. If some
churches had coat Of arms shil-
llalah rampant would have a promi-
nent place thereupon. We need to
quit "scrapping" and begin to fight
sin. For until we cease to belabor
each other, and besiege the strong
holds of sin we shall be neither true
disciples Of Jesus nor credited among
the men who live in the busy world.
For we are called to warfare, and
the world knows the difference be-
tween a row, a sham battle and
war.
Jesus was man of optimistic fore
sight. He had confidence. He be-
lieved what He preached. He did not
discount sin or its power. He was
never foolish enough to deny its ac-
tuality and the grewsome evidences
Of it's activities. He was no pessimist.
He was not so unwise as are some
contemporaneous optimists. But He
did have confidence in the future, in
the efficacy of His truth, in the suf-
fciency of the God of ages. He was
unlike too many Christians who seem
to take delight in declaring the work
of Transforming conditions that have
become intolerable impossible and
hopeless. And If we are true disci-
pies of Him who never despaired we
shall have to cease to doubt the ca
pacity of our truth or our Leader to
dissolve difficulties and to remove
mountains. We must be sanely hope
full.
A large outlook, catholic spirit,
militant righteousness, an optimistic
! foresight, upon the pattern out
wrought by Christ will -rehabilitate
our forces and enthuse our member
ship and inspire our souls and res1r-
rect our hold as a church. upon the
hearts of men. And it is high time
we had them.

A "Dryn Washington,


Seriously speaking, the reported
movement to prohibit the manufac-
ture and sale of intoxicating liquors
In the District of Columbia is perfect
ly rational in the circumstances. 1t
Is hardly likely to be successful, per-
haps, if it is ever brought before Co..
yress, but it would be more than con-.
sistent for the Senators and Repre-
sentatives of those States affected by
The prohibition movement to vote for
An anti-liquor law in Washington. 1t
is for Congress to decide. 1t is said
that the House contains enough men,
bers opposed, either personally or as
representatives Of prohibition dis
tricts, to the sale of liquor to pass an
anti-liquor rider with one of the ap-
preparation bills next ."ession. We
shall know more about this matter in
4 few months.
I Meanwhile, speculation as to the
effect of prohibition law in the Dis
trict on the social and official life Of
Washington would be more amusing
than instructive The whole Diplo-
matte Corps would be amazed, un-
doubtedly. Official representatives Of
countries where people do not rush to
extremes would be shocked by a new
revelation of the eccentricity of Amer
lean character.
But it would be folly to ignore the
seriousness of the opposition to alco-
holic liquor in many States, and the
growing enthusiasm of the opposers.
The liquor trade is avowedly alarmed,
as month by month the prohibition
movement gains ground. In some
parts of this country rum is more un-
popular than ever before, and Wash
lngton is the capital of the whole
ountry.-Editorial in the New York

General Demand

Of the Well-Informed of the World has
always been for a simple, pleasant and
efficient liquid laxative remedy of known
value; laxative which physicians could
sanction for family use because its ccm-
ponent parts are known to them to be
wholesome and truly beneficial in effect,
acceptable to the system and gentle. yet
prompt, in action. -
In supplying that demand with its ex-
cellent combination of Syrup of Figs and
Elixir of SIENNA, the California Fig Syrup
Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies
on the merits of the laxative for it's remark
able success.
That is one of many reasons why
Syrup of Figs and Elixir Of SIENNA is given
the preference by the Well-Informed.
To get it's beneficial effects always buy
the genuine-manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co., only, and for sale

Making Worthless Things Great.

In some of the great halls or
Europe may be seen pictures not
painted with the brush, but mosaics,
which are made up of small pieces
of stone, glass or other material. The
artist takes these little pieces, and,
polishing and arranging them, he
forms them into the grand and beau
tiful picture. Each individual part
of the picture may be little worth
less piece of glass or marble or shell;
but with each in its place, the whole
constitutes the masterpiece of art.
So 1 think it will be with humanity
in the hands of the Great Artist. God
is picking up the little worthless
pieces of stone and brass that might
be trodden under foot unnoticed, and
is making of them His great master.
