Be quick. my patriot, brother, to the
rescue let US speed
The whiskey shops must 60. .
You do we'll, Mr.. Editor, to warn

1t is the alcohol in them that buoys
up the patient and deludes him into
thinking he is being helped, when in

into insensibility, while it sucks his
very life blood.
One of your correspondents tries

before this relentless god. Perhaps
some Of you are resting in fancied
security, thinking your children are

America catches on to the vices very
soon, especially in towns where they
are unemployed. "A busy man has
only one devil to contend with, an
idle one thousand" A dispensary
can't be run without men any more
than an oil mill without seed. It
may be your boy will help to swell
the ranks. It will be too late then
to cry.
"A prudent man forseeth the evil

Helen Keller, who is deprived of
the faculties Of seeing, hearing, and
speaking, consequently her other
faculties are keener and more sensi-
tive than ours, says: II believe that
we will draw nearer and more near
the time, when no man can live at his
ease while another suffers"

serve both. Decide quickly. There
is not much fight in a soldier who
does not know which side he is on.

subject provokes thought. When

Move to the fore"
The dispensary has the exclusive

Many Of your brothers have fallen
by the wayside. Are you going to
hold yourself aloof, like the priest
and the Levite, or will you, like the
good Samaritan, with your vote, as
sist him to arise and try to win him
back into the path Of sobriety?
According to Milton the devil was
cast out of heaven on account of his
ambition. Ever since he has been
brooding over his lost paradise, and,
as revenge, goes about in the earth
trying to change good into evil. From
the beginning this serpent which is
more subtle than any beast Of the
field, has brought woe in his
wake. The mighty conflict in which
we are soon to engage is no child S
play. We are going to battle with
the devil who is second in authority
only to the Deity. Thousands of vas
sails stand ready to do his bidding.
See this Prince of Darkness as he
stalks through the earth, shaking his
sable. plumes, and muttering ven

Listen. While a student at Colum-
bia College, I heard DR.. Darby, who
was then president, relate a dream
that had so great an influence over
him that it changed the whole trend
of his life, Transforming him from
a giddy youth into the polished,
Christian gentleman that he was. He
dreamed that mighty monster was
advancing towards him. Compared
with this giant, he was mere
pigmy. AS the monster bore down
upon him, threatening to crush out
his existence, beads of sweat came
upon his brow. In mortal terror he
breathed the name "Jesus." In
stantly the monster receded. If he
forgot the source of his strength, the
giant would return, threatening him
as before. There is one mightier
than the devil. We can conquer by
trusting in Him. Remember the
magic name Jesus" This is the
talisman that will lead you to vic
tory.
Column after column has been de-
voted by the papers to the interest
of the devil. Don't allow this to dis
turb you. "An empty wagon always
makes the most noise" This will
vanish as the mists before the sun.
BY faith Joshua compassed the walls
of Jericho and they fell. These walls
built up by the devil and his allies
will fall. Even now they are totter-
ling. Fear not, be Of good courage"
