RELIGIOUS EQUATIONS.
(By Norman Murray.)


In YOUR editorial June 9th you state that
CAN the Christian nations gave secret
sympathy and a silent support to Russia.
Now the fact of the matter is that
Britain was an ally of Japan and had no
sympathy whatever with Russia, secret or
otherwise. In the Crimean War both
Britain and France were both in alliance
with Turkey aaginst Russia. The trouble
with Christianity and much of what is now
called freethought is that they don't mean
anything in particular. Some people who
call themselves Christians are a great deal
better people than some people who call
themselves freethnkers and some people
who call themselves freethinkers are better
than some people who call themselves
Christians. So these shibboleths don't
mean much to the practical man OF the
world. To some freethinkers and Chris
tians freethought means atheism and free
love- If a man is pointed out to me as
Quaker / expect to meet man OF par
ticular fine type of character from my point
of view. To many the motto OF free
thinker is supposed to be: "No God, no
soul. no hereafter and man is the child OF
a monkey" / was a freethinker when |

The Wine and Spirit Gazette ad-
yises working men as follows:
Above all, maintain your per-
sonal liberty and right of free
thought and free will, and remem-
Der that self-control is always bet
ter than legal prohibition. That
the old theory, "The maximum of
liberty and the minimum of law
is true to-day as it has ever been.
By all means let the working
men and everybody else exercise
self-control. Let them control
their temper, and not cut or shoot
people, but let the law against
murder stand. There is nc conflict
between the duty of self-control
and the prohibition of murder.
So let working men and all 9TH
ers control their covetous desires.
Let them not steal their neighbours
goods, but at the same time let
the law against theft or the prohib-
ition of theft stand. There is no
conflict between self-control and
the prohibition Of theft.
Exhorting men to control them
selves and be men, and stand up
to the best that is in them, does ap-
f.
peal to high motives, but why con-
trast this with the prohibition OF
the saloon, or of any other evil?
S~elf-control will be easier If there
is no saloon to tempt. Many peo-
pie can not, or will not, control
their appetite. Others are thought
lessly forming evil appetites. The
open saloon is a constant tempta-
tion to the young. Let them learn
~self-control, but at the same time
protect them as far as possible
from temptation.
AS a matter of fact, the saloon Is
a temptation not only to crafty an
unnatural appetite, but to covet-
business and anger. It is a center
Of evil intrigue, and a Matching
place Of crime. Many thefts, EN-.
bezzlements, burglaries, abuse o.

The New Year

Twas the hour of midnight; a
matchless, beautiful night of the
New Year.
Above, a sky brilliant with stars
innumerable, whose light seemed
to culver into shadowy sprays. A
silvery crescent shed it's radiance
far down upon the sleeping earth,
seeming to rest there in angel BEN
ediction.
With the silvery sheen, like a
great mantle flung around all,
earth seemed bathed in very love-
illness; tranquility reigned SUI
preme. Yet the beauty of the
night is all unheeded by one OF
earth's sad, weary ones, who
stands alone meath the starry can
opy, with face upturned to the
midnight sky.
Yes, one tired and worn with
the struggle of life, for the burdens
and responsibilities pressed heav-
lily. Cares and sorrows had fallen
in double portion; the mistakes
and errors of early life confronted
him, and, in utter despair, came
the cry from white lips: so life,
one long, bitter disappointment.
My ambitions thrust aside, the
early promises OF youth undevel-
oped and untitled; must it always
be so?" Another new year
stretched out before him; must
he always bear the burdens and
go on and on through weary
months and years hampered by
uncongenial environments ano
dwarfed attainments; tortured
with vain regrets for the past, ano
anxieties for the future? His hear
was heavy and restless; and the
incompleteness of his life stune
his soul with dissatisfaction and
bitterness. Then came the earnes
pleading: go, Father in Heaven
beyond the starry armament
grant me light and guidance il
solving the problems of life"
The compassionate Father heard
the cry and answered. A flood o.
peace, hope and blessed restful'
ness thrilled his inmost soul-sC
new, so strange-he trembled les
it should leave him. Truly, i
would, indeed, be a new year will
its beautiful possibilities! HI
would make it what it ought to b,
to meet Gods approval. Hence
forth his life was a complete sur
render to the divine Savior, Will
obedience and sacrifice markeI
his career.
A few years elapsed, and the
came the heavenly call to "com
up higher" The earthly life wa
finished, but there was a joyfu
welcome to the home in Paradise
and another white soul joined tn
great throng of the redeemed
