From New York comes the state
ment that in the fiotssm and Jet

horrors on the downward stream
of excessive drink, women are
found in greatly increasing num-
bers.
No less a man than DR.. John d
Quackenbos, eminent in the treat
ment of nervous and mental dis
eases, is authority for the declara-
ton that throngs of women are
giving away their nerves and
brains as ths fearful price for the
citation that comes from cham
payne or the mental exaItation
that turks in the glass of absinthe.
To Washington, this assertion
must b1 of compelling import
ance, not only because within the
past year one of its best known
ministers of the gospel has voiced
warning against the wine habit
among women, but also because

The Lambeth conference of Epis-

Concerning Rev. DR.. w. w. Wat
kinson. the famous English preacher,
who has been visiting his country, the
following story is told by the Interior:
In one of his earliest pastorates, when
his preaching was attracting large
congregations and the church was
prospecting, the officers of the congrega-
ton called upon him to make the sug-
gestion that he go out among his peo-
pie more in parish visiting. Doctor
Watkinson is long and lank, and was
seated haracteristically in an easy
chair, with his long legs stretched
out across intervening space to the
perch of his feet on table. Gentle
men" drawled DIR. Watkinson, you
see there are two ends to me-" and he
pointed scrawny forefnger first at
his head and then at his feet. you
can have whichever end you want"
The stewards saw the point, and, be-
ing men of sense, they chose "heads."

LIberalIty tests love and Loyalty.

Giving should be upon principle and
with system. Sporadic gifts dwell in
the giyer's mind so long that they be-
come magnified far beyond their nat
ural proportions. The dollar given
from impulse sometimes stands in the
way of ten dollars that would be given
Systematically. Many men who think
themselves more than ordinarily gem
erous would be surprised at the small
total of their gifts were they to keep
a careful account. 1t is easy to de-
ceive ones self with respect to ones
own generosity.

The Lord asks for mems money he

sires their hearts

Imperial giving is not measured by
the purse but by the heart Some men
have gained a reputation in the world
by the magnitude of their gifts. They
are commonly spoken of as great Civ
ers-" But who says so? The greatest
giving upon which we have the Divine
mind is that of woman who gave two
mites. 1t is time that churches espec-
Tally came to their senses in this mat
ter of estimating gifts. For the great
work of the world and the kingdom is
not going to be done by the few huge
name. but by the steady, systematic
offerings, out of grateful, humble
hearts, from host of faithful people.
1t is not in the power of the richest
man on earth to pay the bills of organ
lied Christianity for single year.

That gift is doubly valuable which
is given properly.
Money has a long arm 1t can
reach far. to smite or to serve. By
means of his wealth man may make
himself a factor in the development of
faraway lands which his own eyes will
never see. Thus he can feed the hun
CRY. enlighten the ignorant. heal, the
sick and give the light of the gospel
to the spiritually darkened. Even
though his own lot be narrow and BIT
is large and sweet. Even the ignorant
may, through the medium of money,
become teachers of nations and the
weak may become strengtheners of
their fellow men. When we contem-
plate the beneficent power of money
we can no longer join with those un-
thinking persons who heap reproach
upon it as if money were in itself an
evil thing. The truth is, money may
be either a messenger of darkness or
a messenger of light. depending Alto
gether upon the disposition of the
person who controls it. e
The Lord does not open the win
dows of heaven so long as we keep
any of his tithes out of the storehouse.
The Apostle Paul calls giving a
grace. 1t is an adornment of charac-
ter. and an expression of the indwell-
ing grace of Jesus. 1t helps make
character beautiful, because it destroys
selfishness, promotes thought of others
and enlarges the horizon of life A
cheerful giver. a generous giver, and
a systematic giver cannot fail to pos
sess many of the other virtues that
make up the life beautiful.
