The CRUSADE AGAINST DRINK
pRoGREss MADE BY CHAMPIONS
FIGHTING THE RUM DEMON.
Only One of Millions.

The grandest specimen OF mannood there.
Where'er he went, all round him found 1t
To feast their eyes on form and face so
fair.
Of p~rincely mien he was, all honors seemed
His by the rights of heritage, Of birth;
With kingly step he walked as if he deemed
Himself the peer of any king on earth.
In manly sports he. led; none might excel
The ease with which the hardest fight he
As fleet of foot as Asahel, and as well
Endowed with strength and courage.
There was none
That followed him in any contest feared
That he might fail to win the victory.
A leader born; wherever he appeared
His followers strove as hopefully as he.
In college halls he shone; his brilliant mind
Could grasp with ease the truth that
many there
Must labor long and arduously to find.
He seemed q magic characterized key
to bear
That opened at his touch all gates that led
Into the fields of learning vast, whose
soil
The grandest thoughts of living men and
dead
And so it was, he won with ease each prize
Awarded for the highest scholarship;
And stood the admiration Of all eyes,
The one whose praise rang forth from
every lip.
One wondered that so much of power and
grace,
Of beauty, physical and mental too,
Could be possessed by one man of the race
Unless God meant he some great work
should do.
But ah, the faIest flower oft droops and
dies
Because some little worm has found its
way
Into it's very heart. and saps and dries
. The fount of life, and leaves it to decay.
Alas! that form 80 fair and mind so fine,
The noblest thing in all creations plan,
The browning workmanship of hand
Should fall beneath the Turing wine-cup's
Nban.
In social gatherings he learned to look
With longing eyes upon the sparkling
vi
He dallied with temptation oft, then took
The fatal cup, and felt its serpent Irvine
Around his qiuckened heart, his conscience,
And writhe its burning way through all
his brain.
Though bitten oft, he sought the serpent
still, .,I
And strove at length to break its power
in vain.
A few years sped away, and then at last
This being, formed to reach all heights
sublime
All beauty, strength, and glory gone-was
Amid the wreckage on the shores of
Time.
Oh. Alcohol, worst foe of all our race,
Thou foulest minion of the Evil One,
When shall the world refuse to give thee
place?
When shall thy fearful work at last be
done?
So long the world has groaned beneath
thy sway,
So long have ruined lives proclaimed thy
power,
So long through blood and tears thy awful
way
Has led, that now the clock in Times old
tower
Should strike thy knell, and thou at length
should'st be
Buried SO deep from mortal sight that
none
In any land or cline henceforth should see
Such awful work as thou SO long hast
done. .
Thank God that longed.for time is draw.
ing nigh.
The armies rally for the last great blow;
And all along the lines we heart the cry,
king alcohol is doomed, and be must

Treason Against the People,

The license system, declares DR..

1t is the typical crime of the universe
the crime which consists in seek
ing ones own pleasure or ones own
profit with absolute Indifference to
the cost of the pleasure or profit to
other people. It's cost is human suf-
fering. The price of it is TIE price

Suppose.

q Suppose.
Suppose that the Christian life, in
Its daily manifestation, should come
to be marked and J known by sim.
plicity and happiness. Suppose that
the followers of Jesus should really
escape from bondageto the evil spirits
of avarice and luxury which infect
and torment so much of our compti.
Gated, tangled, artificial modern life.
Suppose that, instead Of increasing
their wants and their desires, instead
of loading themselves down on LIES
journey with so many bags and par
cells and boxes of s%uperluous luggage
and bric-a-brac that they are forced
to sit down by the roadside and gasp
for breath, instead Of wearing them
selves out in the dusty ways OF COM
petition and vain show or embittering
their hearts because they cannot sue
coed in getting into the weary race
of wealth and. fashion-suppose, In
stead of all this, they should turn to
quiet ways, lowly pleasures, pure and
simple joys, plain living and higni
thinking" Suppose they should truly
find and clearly show their happiness
in the knowledge that God loves
them, and Christ died for them, and,
Heaven is sure, and so set'their hearts
free to rejoice in life's common rler-
cies, the light of the sun, the blue OF
the sky, the splendor Of the sea, the
peace of the everlasting hills, the
songs of the birds, the sweetness OF
flowers, the wholesome SAVIOR Of good
food, tho delight of action and mo-
ton, the refreshment of sleep, the.
charm Of music, the blessing OF hu-
man love and friendship-rejoicesi in
all these without fear or misgfving.

cause Christ has sanctifed them all
