posed Georgia enactment
we are not here to cause women
any trouble" said Majah Pinckney, as
he stepped ashore from the steamship.
ION the contrary. sir, every right-mind-
ed woman will help US in our fight
against peek-a-bJo waists. V-cut bod
ices. Open-work hose. and elbow sleeves.
These rainbow stockings have seen,
sir, are the most terrible weapons a
woman can use. A man is not himself,
sir, when he looks at these rainbow af-
fairs.
What the Glenn bill especially aims
TO prevent, is having man tricked into
marrying a'woman with great head Of
chestnut tresses and peaches and cream
complexion, both OF which come of IN
the seclusion Of her boudOir. Nor does
it seem fair 10 have a man trapped
into marriage by a graceful figure and
curves that are the envy Of her women

new-found home, prove TO be false"

have the uplifting Of womanhOod at

Down the street came an Arab patrol,

When this was done the Shriners left

The Second Temptation.

The nearest approach to the
temptation of Christ by the devil
that the world has ever seen per-
haps, is pictured in the diabolical
proposal of Satan's strongest
agent in the world, the liquor
power to Christ's servants, the
ministers of the gospel, in a letter
sent to all preachers throughout
the country few days ago. 1t
takes these men Of God up on she
mountain, as it were, "shows
them all the kingdoms of the
world, and asks them to join with
the liquor power in taking and
holding these kingdoms for Satan.
This letter sets forth the most
sacreligious and blasphemors
views of the attitude of God and
Christ toward this vile, damning
stuff that is causing such untold
misery and woe on earth and that
10 dragging so many millions of
souls to an eternal hell. These
emissaries of the devil have the
bold effrontery to ask Gods min
listers to join with them in perpet-
uating this awful curse on the
human race a National Model
Restriction License" The pro
posal is too disgusting, too horri-
BILE to consider for a moment.
There is one thing, however, it
is hoped this preposterous offer
will accomplish, and that is to St t
the Ceristian people of our land
thinking. When the Saviour vas
led up into the mountains his
Arcn-enemy knew That ne was
very weak from fasting. Is it not
very probable that this enemy of
souls, through his emissaries. sees
the week condition of the church
today-sees how so many of her
ministers hesitate to tackle this
hydra-headed monster, liquor
sees how so many, many of her
members ally themselves with the
liquor power and fight for perpat-
uatlon of this damnable traffic
see how her press stands almost
silent, uttering scarcely a word
against this evil? Christians, it
