 How insignificant do the promises of the Yelled Prophet appear when compared with the promises of the modern socialists and sociologists. Fortunately for the world the very extravaganza of the prom ises has been a check upon the en- thusiasm of the multitude Although ev- cry one reads with pleasure the story of Hercules supporting the earth while he relieved Atlas, no one believes 1t, but when pigmies presume to undertake a greater labor than Hercules none but fools even read about 1t.

To arouse the sleep CT from his lethargy. to open his eyes to his situation, to drop the spark among the finder and fan the flames of passion are the progressive steps toward the demolition of the towers which morality had built around the human heart Moral ity imposes restraint; morality curbs free- dom of will and action; in short, morality is another form of Oppression, therefore it is against morality that sociology must direct it's attack if human liberty is to be attained. In this great battle for lib- erty everyone must fight who expects to participate in the fruits of victory. The ranks are open to and invite the CO., operation of women as well as men.

 Later Wolford was in Congress as democrat where he advocated measure giving a pension to every rebel soldier, or his widow. His heart was as big as his native mountains; but it had no room for hate or anger.

 The coming exposition of Scripture will need to be so trained as to be able to watch his ablest "authorities,. lest in learning to explain his text he be taught to explain it away-lest his exposition be perverted into imposition. If what we call "Revelation" can not stand the test of the deepest, the broadest, the acutest investigation, then 1t is clear that the gospel of the future. the church of the future, the ministry of the future are all to be wrecked together. No intelligent and conscientious preacher can afford to be afraid of the truth to whatever tests that truth may be subjected.

 Another viAe that is rapidly gaining ground is the habitual use of "hashish," so called by the natives of India where the use of the drug is most prevalent.
 This is an extract of the common In- dian hemp and Is called in medicine can nabis Indica. It's use in America as habit is most generally found in the sea- port cities of the Atlantic and Gulf states.
 Tbe effect of the drug is very peculiar. If an overdose is given to person not used to taking 1t, he will become in short space of time the victim of the strangest delusions imaginable. For in- stance, if person under its influence would attempt to walk up a flight of steps, the stairs would appear to extend upward and onward for miles and miles. If the 'hashish" victim had only short block to walk the end of the block would appear to be swallowed up in the dim distance. The secondary effect of the drug is extremely narcotic fin Its &C., ton.
