Civilization has found out the sa.

perience with 1t. 1t has written its
epitaph. One of our great railroad
lines in America has recently made a
sweeping order that any employe of
the road who cashes his pay check in
saloon will lose his job. Twenty
years ago one of the great railroads
in this country paid so little atten.

train crew of twelve men lay drunk
around freight station SOLDERING up
from a DAYS debauch and the freight
train which they were to man waited

would be impossible on any railroad
in America. One of the finest things
about the agitation rising up all over
the world against the liquor business

One Sin Enough,

A single sin, however apparently
trifling, however hidden in some OBJ.
scure corner of our consciousness-
a sin which we do not intend to re
nounce-is enough to render real
prayer impractlcable. A course OF
action not wholly upright and hon.
orable, feelings not entirely kind and
loving, habits not spotlessly chaste
and temperate-any of these are i'm.
passable obstacles. If We know of e
kind act which we might but do not
intend to perform-if we be aware
that our moral health requires the
abandonment of some pleasure which
yet we do not intend to abandon,
here is cause enough for the loss OF
all spiritual power.-F. b. Cobbe.

LepIosy is a type OF sin and well
illustrates its unclean, insidous, al
most hopeless anG ineradicable char
acter. The leper OF this incident
saw a Healer in Jesus. Would that
all lepers in soul could discern in
Jesus their only Saviour!
This mans case was probably des.
perate. Others had given him up.
Jesus can save the worst cases. This
leper had faith in Jesus ability.
Where did he get 1t? There is some,
thing in Jesus which wins faith in his
ability. IF thou wilt, thou canst
make me clean" If Jesus is lifted
up" he will impress men that he has
power. 1t is our work to thus declare
him, even though we DO not see i'm.

Jesus said, Il will; be thou clean. "

who would wish child to believe in
his willingness up to the measure OF

This cure was immediate. Not all
of Jesus cures were so. The imme
diacy is probably dependent upon the
amount and character of the faith ex'
ercised. The Ieper was told 10 fulfil
the law with respect to the recovery
from leprosy. Jesus does not violate
law; he fulflls. The leper was for
bidden to declare his healing. Jesus
did not wish to have a reputation as
a mere healer of the sick. His great
work was and Is for the soul. He
never told any one to keep silent con.
cerning sin forgiveness. Have We

Walter Medhurst. the pioneer OF
printing work in Chinese missions,
could speak and write in nine Ian.
guages, and was often urged toward
secular employment and worldly gain,
but kept his great powers solely for
Bible-translation.
David Abeel, American pioneer to
China, was so faithful that a member
of his family said he never sat with
them or even passed through the
room without making some remark Of
a religious nature. He founded the
Annoy mission.
Elijah Bridgman. the other Ameri-
can pioneer, edited the Chinese Re-
pository for twenty years. "Will the
churches come up to the work?" was
his one anxiety on his death-bed.

The medium fowls are only tolerable.
The inferior fowls are a snare and a

Keep the fowls away from the

A Poisonous Food.

From the standpoint of technical
dietetics, alcohol is food. In the
scientific world. however, foods are
classified as either good or poor, and
as such they perform the function of
either tissue-builders or energizers.
For example, wheat bread, beefsteak
and eggs are considered good foods,
but onions, cabbages and radishes
are considered poor food In a strictly
technical sense. That is. foods have
a greater or less value according to
the ease with which they are digested
ana asslmilated, and also as TO
whether they produce any injurious
results. With this classification we
are forced to say that alcohol Is a
poor food. 1t Is poor food for sew
eral reasons. First. because only q
small amount-about three ounces,
which is far less than is required TO
sustain the body-can be oxidiZed,
the balance passing through un-
changed. Second, because 1t has been
determined that 1t is not tissue
builder and only serves the purpose
as an energizer. Third. to give suf-
ficient amount to sustain the body
would, considering the small percen-
age that can be oxidized, leave enough
residue to create irritation to such
an extent that the Dhysiologic func-
tions necessary to life would not go
on. In limited sense, It is a food &,
because 1t is a generator of entrgy,
but it is not builder of tissue. Thus
we have the soundest scientific sup
port for the statement that it is poor
food, and has no use in the category
of foods. AS an energizer it acts
only as whip to the tagging organs,
and. as one authority remarks, I'VE
have no more right to use it than we
have to lash a willing horse"

IL Is POisOn.
Is alcohol a poison? 1t may seem
little strange that science regards
my substance as food and also as
poison, but this point can be cleared
1p when we take into consideration
he definition of poison. The pop
liar conception of POISON Is some-
hing which Is capable of producing
Heath very promptly, but the scien-
life definition is less exacting, and is
briefly this: ANY substance which,
when applied to the body, or digested,
,auses disease" The term Is a rela-
i've one and means that a substance
20 be a poison does not necessarily
iseG to be capable of producing death
nstantaneously. Many articles which
are used as foods, IL INDUCED in to
excess, will produce irritation and
disease, and hence are, in a technical
sense poison. Psychologists classify
polsons as corrosive, irritant and mar
eotic. Alcohol ranks with tobacco,
chloroform, caffeine, ether and nit
rous oxide gas as a narcotic poison.
The effects are very similar, the first
being that of a stimulant: the second,
that of narcotic, and il pushed too
tar will produce death. The reason
alcohol is because It becomes gradu-
ally immune in the same way as i'm
munity is produced by antitoxins. AS
a poison its first effect Is that of a
stimulant, increasing functional ac-
tivity for time, but its second effect

Trembling came to Jesus,
A rebel doomed to die;
But pitiful compassion
Beamed in His kingly eye,
As He His golden sceptre
OF love stretched out to me,
And wrote, in blood-traced letters,
My pardon, full and free.
Mourning, / came to Jesus,
Pining and sad and lone;
But He in mercy hearken'd
To my "Peccavi" moan.
He gave me peace for warfare,
Glad trustfulness for fears,
The spirit of rejoicing
For heaviness and tears.
Weeping, | came to Jesus,
Degraded and forlorn,
Thirsting and faint and footsore,
With raiment soiled and torn;
When in loves pity stopping,
With welcome, robe and ring,
He brought me to His banquet
And taught my heart to sing.

The earliest known inscription in
Siamese is a unique document, not
merely among the documents of Siam,
but among the documents Of the world.
If I am not entirely wrong. there is
no other document extant which re-
cords tho achievement OF letters for an
untamed speech by one to whom speech
was native, and at the same time fully
Illustrates that achievement"
In the following terse paragraph.
which closes the historical record set
forth upon the ancient stone, the royal
author of the inscription, according to
Professor Bradley's translation, makes
announcement Of his memorable &C.
complement:
Heretofore there were no strokes Of
Siamese writing. In 1908 OF the era,
Year of the Goat, Prince Khun Ram
Khamhaeng sought and desired in his
heart, and put into use these strokes
of Slamese writing. And so these
strokes of Siamese writing are, be-
cause that prince put them to use"
With regard to the monument upon
which the Inscription was found Pro-
lessor Bradley writes as follows:
THE stone is a short, stumpy obelisk,
almost without taper. terminating
above in a sort of low four square
dome. The material is fine grained,
compact slate rock. neither too hard
for easy working nor too soft to hold
the inscription well under proper care.
