Mexico as a land of immigration Is of supreme interest.
 Mir De Kay has on more than one occasion gone carefully into the mat ter with President Diaz. one of the most remarkable and patriotic rulers that ever presided over free people The president Is a man who wastes few words. and the suggestion of con viction, formed on deliberate thought and experience. with which he utters his view, Is more suggestive Of the solid Anglo-Saxon or German states man than the usually loquacious. if brilliant. Latin.
 On one occasion Mir De Kay asked the president what the policy of Mex leo would be if the Jews were to come to that country in large numbers. and settle in a single state. until they be came a majority in that state. and he said:
 "I have always sympathized with the Jew in his struggle against many odds believe in the value of the Jew to the country of his adoption believe in his power to help the land in which he casts his lot l believe he has been a highly important factor in ,he rise of the democracy of the United States, and that he Is loyal to its in stitutions. When the Jew has been persecuted abroad l have instructed my ministers throughout the world 10 welcome him to Mexico. and in my name to guarantee him justice and equality before the law, freedom to worship, or not to worship. and the right to build his altars in his own way"
 Tn response to a question: "Wonid you give local government to the | Jewsr" President Diaz said: If the Jews were to come in large
 numbers to any one of the sovereign
 states in Mexico, and each acquire a
 small tract of land. which Is necessar, before he becomes a citizen of -ht country. and If they took the oath o
 allegiance to Mexico and accepted ths
 obligations of citizenship. they woulc have all the rights of that citizenship and those rights would not differ ir
 letter or in spirit in any way iron the rights of native-born Mexicans
 6l course no foreigner can. under ou
 constitution. any more than under tn'
 constitution of the United States. be
 come president of the republic.
 such citizens in any state were to be
 come an actual voting majority the
 would elect their own governor an'
 other oficials. and enjoy all the light
 accorded to other Mexicans now or i
 the future. These states are inds pendent and sovereign in their locs affairs. but they are subject to the st perior authority of the supreme so'
 ernment of the nation"

Women as Chemists,

ut is ~inexpedient publicly to en-
courage women to adopt chemistry as
a professional pursuit"
In this concise way Is expressed
the view Of those members Of the
Chemical Society Of Great Britain
who disapprove of the proposal to al
low women to become members. Out
of 3400 papers read on personal re-
searches during the last t~hirty-fve
years, only twenty-three have been
contributed by women alone. There
is a growing desire, however, on the
part of many of our leading scientists
70 admit women chemists to member
ship, and, as the wish has met with
the strongest opposition from other
members, the question is being put to
a ballot. Nine. Curie is at present
the only woman member, and she has
been made merely an honorary fell
low with neither voting powers nor
eligibility for office on the council

"Drinking Increases"

From a press dispatch dated De-
troit, Mich: ..,
Notwithstanding the prohibition
wave that has recently swept over
the country, there is every reason to
believe that the alcoholic habit
among business men is steadily on
the increase" declared DR.. Frank c.
Richardson, OF Boston, in ar address
before the Society of Neurology and
Psychiatrics.
The meeting at which this asser-
ton was made was n of the many
held in connection with the Amer
lean Institute of Homeopathy.
DR.. Richardson's topic was "The
Problem of American Business Neu-
rosis." He declared that the siren
uous American business life is pro-
ducing in many of its followers a
neurosis partaking of the character
of neurasthenia, psychasthenia and
hysteria.
The geological factors in the pro-
duction of this neurosis, he said,
are chiefly continuous mental activ-
ity and excessive use of alcohol.
Speaking of patients addicted to
the excessive use of alcohol, DR..
Richardson said that no fear need
be entertained of any physical or
mental harm arising from a change
to total abstinence.

Sanctifcation vs.. Fanaticism.

In proportion as the heart becomes,
sanctifed, there is a diminished ten
dency to enthusiasm and fanaticism.
And this is undoubtedly one Of the
leading tests Of sanctifcation. One,
Of the marks Of an enthusiastic and
fanatical state of mind is a fiery and
unrestrained impetuosity Of feelings
3 rushing on sometimes very blindly.

If the great Creator were not at the.
helm. 1t is not only feeling without
a good degree of judgment, but what
Is the corrupting and fatal trait-it is
feeling without a due degree of conf
dence in God. True holiness reflects
the image of God in this respect az
we'll as in others, that 1t Is calm,
thoughtful, deliberate, immutable.
And how can it be otherwise, since
rejecting its own wisdom and
strength, it incorporates into itself
the wisdom and strength of the AL
mighty.-Rev. Thomas C. Upham.

Confessed.

The close afiliation between the
saloon and the social evil Is notorious.
1t was acknowledged by President
julius Lehman, Of the United Brew
ers' Association, in his address at it's
annual convention, held in Milwau-
kee, June 9 and 10, 1908.
In the report of that address pub
lished in the Brewers Journal, Of
New York, July 1, 1908, on page 1876
President Lehman is quoted saying:
1.-THE abuse of the saloon Is marked
by disorderly and disreputable prac-
tices, which are not incidental to the
business. We agree with all decent
men upon these points:
q. That the saloon should not be
used to foster the social evil and
should be utterly divorced from it.
SO. That the saloon should not be
used for gambling purposes.
80. That the saloon should not be
open to minors, and that the sale of
intoxicants to children should be pro-
scribed."

CHAPTER XVII.
For MY Sake.

A scrap of dirty paper was inside
the envelope, and at first Gervais had
some difficulty in deciphering the
written words, the ink was so pale
and the characters so crude. He
walked away from the door to a win
dow on the corridor that was fitted
up with cushioned seats and curtains
like a small room, and throwing the
other letters he held on to the velvet
bench, he stood with his back to the
light and began the task Of mastering
the contents of this most eXtraor-
binary epistle:
Mi ledy, this is to warn you as
you'd better send some mony at onct,
or it u'll be nasty for yer. l nos to
much about you and i'm, and l looks
to yer to 'elp me now. Don't play me
no trix, as I amt to be fuled, and
mean to ave mony for mi panes.
Mony must be ere wi'out fale ter
morrer or mkt day. JIM COTES."
Gervais read these lines slowly
three times without %grasping their
meaning, then gradually a horrible,
cold sensation came over him; his
heart beat wildly one moment, and
nearly stopped the next. Strong man
as he was, he trembled from head to
foot, and the scrap of paper futered
in his grasp.
Some creature had dared to write
threateningly to Dorothy, his wife,
the woman he loved and had put in
his pure mothers place. Threaten
ingly, What did it mean? Slowly,
scarcely conscious of what he did,
he sank 10 tire sea and stared be-
fore him at the words that seemed to
grow more monstrous each instant.
- nos to much about you and inn
Again and again he repeated that
sentence to himself, till it beat in his
brain and made the hot passion of his
blood surge and swell 10 madness.
You and I'M" To Dorothy?

Discern Ye Not the Signs Of the
Times?

Even to the most superficial OBJ
server it must be apparent that the
present crusade against the liquor
traffic Is rooted in an awakened pub
lie conscience, which cannot be ap-
peased until this great moral issue
Is brought to trial in every State of
the Union.
The tide of prohibition is rolling
across the continent.
Maine, Kansas, Oklahoma, Georgia,
Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi.
North Carolina-one by one the
States which have refused to COM
promise with intemperance and have
adopted Statewide prohibition are
failing into line. The white banners
are t~hickening.
Thus the whisky traffic, first III
one form and then in another, con-
tinues to receive the brand of out,
lawry and ostracism.

times?-Atlanta (Ga Georgian and

THE WARFARE AGAINST DRINK
TEMPERANCE BATTLE GATHERS

Science Testifes For Prohibition.

Science TeStifieS For Prohibition.
The t~hirty-ninth annual meeting
of the American Society for the Study
Of Alcohol and Other Narcotics held
at Atlantic City indicated a tremend-
Gus advance among medical men in
their interest in the alcoholic prob
lem.
DR.. Kress' paper, on Grain and
Fruits as a Diet" to prevent drink
Ing, was a new phase of the sub
ject which attracted a great deal Of
attention.
DR.. Crothers' paper, on "Tubercu-
losis and Inebriety," showed a yer.
close relation between the two dis.
eases.
Every paper read was a tremend-
vi argument for prohibition, all
though that word did not appear.
The discussions which followed
showed that the conviction of alcohol
being one of the dangerous remedies
and drugs is growing rapidly among
the profession everywhere.
The American Medical Associa-
ton which met at the same time
showed startling evidence of the eff
fects Of the alcoholic movement in
the banquets and dinners that were
given without alcohol in any form.
The ex-presidents Of the Associa-
ton and their. friends celebrated
their dinner without spirits for the
first time in their history, and other
associations showed a marked change
in public sentiment.
Another significant hint was the
attention given by the public press
to the society for the study Of alco-
hol and its proceedings. All the
daily papers in the neighborhood
noted what 1t said, giving 1t equal
prominence to that of other medical
papers.
Another significant fact was the
local interest in the churches. A
warm invitation was given to the
members of The American Society
for the Study Of Alcohol and Other
Narcotics to occupy the pulpits the
Sunday before the meeting.
This was cheerfully responded to
by six physicians who spoke both
morning and evening in nearly all
the churches. Their addresses we're
purely scientific and practically a
statement of the facts of science con-
corning the alcoholic problem.-Re-
ported Specially For the Associated

The Loving Spirit.

This is our Lords answer to the
question, How shall I inherit eter-
nal life?" The answer Is, Love as
the Samaritan did" You will not re-.
ceive eternal life as the reward of do
ing so, in the sense that, having now
helped men and sacrificed for themr
you shall enter into an eternity in
which you may cease doing 50, and
live in some other relation to them.
Not so. But by loving men thus you
hereby enter into that state of spirit
and that relation to your fellow men
which Is eternal life, the only relation
possible. What more can you be-
asked to do than to love those you
have to do with? It is that whichf
will alone enable you to fill all dutyto
them. You need not ask, What is
due to this man or that, how much
service, how much assistance, how
much substantial help?, These are
very useful questions where there is-
no love, but they are never sufficient,
and they are, therefore, all summarilyt
dismissed by Paul in his brief rule,
"Owe no man anything, but to love
one another"-that is the debt always
due, never paid off, always renewed,
and that covers all others. You are
meant to live happily and strongly
and sweetly; the relations Of society
part to part are meant to move as
sweetly as the finest machinery, and
love alone can accomplish this. It is.
a mere cropping after harmony and orr
der and social we'll being that we are.
occupied with while we try to adjust.

Duty.Doing.

The great duty Of life is to serve
God and men, to render personal SER
vice, to give personal sympathy, to be
kind and generous and unselhsh, to
control ourselves and to help others
to control themselves; to be faithful
with duty-doing wherever we are and
at any cost, to set God first in our
lives and to get for Him the first
place in other lives. Our material
task is the shell. The motives and
purposes and spirit Of the soul with
in are the life. EMBODIED in the ma
terial tasks to which we are called is
a higher, lore enduring work-the
love and service Of the truth Of God.
