Temperance Notes,

The saloon might have a right to
its ways if our sins involved only our
selves in suffering.
The Gam bill for statutory prohi-
bition passed the Arkansas House by
a vote of ifty-three to twenty-seven.
A Pennsylvania Prohibitionist, in
writing to State Chairman Mccall
mont recently, coined a striking ex-
preston. He said that the people OF
his section had through local option
been "vaccinated" against prohibit
ton.
A singular result Of the annual
elections in Vermont on the license
question was that ten towns that
were n~o-license voted for license and
towns that were wet" voted dry"
Echhouse Brothers, wholesale liq-

their business over to a receiver. The
prohibition wave, they claim, has
forced them for some time past to
run their business at a loss.

A HUGE Organized Criminal.

I now say that the liquor traffic
not only breeds criminals, but tho
liquor traffic is largely a huge organ
lied criminal itself.
I do not mean to say, and l shall
not be heard to say, that every man
engaged in that business is a Violator
of the law, but ! am prepared to
prove that in every section OF the
country where l have given it care
full examination a large majority of
the liquor men themselves are law
breakers. I am not here to impeach
the veracity Of them all, but a great
majority of them belong to the Ana
MAS Club. I chance to have in my
possession some interesting facts
concerning which. of course, you will
have a full explanation later OIL.

Ends first sensation on waking at
Bromley Manor was one of distinct
pleasure; the evening before had been
one of the very incest she had ever
spent in Dorothy's society, and she re-
joiced at the delight she saw dawn
on Lord Derriman's face as he real
lied at last he was at home with his
wife beside him.
Dorothy was in her riding habit,
waiting for her husband, on the COL
onnade that ran in front of the
manor, as Enid came down. She was
humming to herself, and beating time
with her daintily booted foot.
Enid explained briefly where she
was going, and Dorothy's eyes grew
vexed and restless for a moment,
while a shade fell i've the brilliancy
Of her face. 1t almost seemed as
though she hated to hear Knebwell
Hall mentioned.
Can I do anything for you?" Enid
asked, as she was moving away.
NO." answered Lady Derriman,
laconically. Il take nc interest in

Enid could not help the exclama-
ton of surprise and depreciation that
escaped her lips.
"Oh, Dorothy, how could you say
so? Such a lovely house, and those

Alcohol and Tuberculosis.

DR.. s. A. Knopf, Of New York, In
his international prize essay on tu-
berculosis says that statistics in hos
pitfalls for tuberculosis and scrofulous
lchildren show that the majority OF
them had parents addicted to the use
of alcohol, and thatit has been proved
that when one or more parents were
addicted to such use their offspring
has become scrofulous. This is in
harmony with the resolution passed
in 1905 by the International Congress
on tuberculosis, viz: I'm view of the
close connection between alcohol and
tuberculosis, this congress strongly
emphasizes the Importance Of combin-
ing the fight. against tuberculosis with
the struggle against alcoholism"

Continuity of Progress.

Between the Here AID the Here
after there is no gap nor chasm nor
gulf, but continuity Of progress and
perfect sequence. There is no end to
life. Life changes it's form, it's en-

dence: but life Is the breath Of God,
and when once breathed into the uni

Beer Drinking by School Children.

Some interesting facts regarding
the use Of alcohol among German
school children have been collected
by a Government doctor in Rotten
burg. His investigations included
sixty-eight classes with 4240 chill
dren. OF this total 4178, or ninety
eight per cent, had tasted intoxicants
and seventy-one per cent. drank beer
or, wine daily; 541 drank half a litre
(nearly a pint or more, while 3214,
or seventy-six per cent, drank a quar-
ter of a litre.
Ten, children admitted drinking a
litre "a pint and three-quarters) Of
beer every day. and one drank a litre
and a half. The doctor made no in
quiries as to the drinking of spirits.
assuming that such a practice among
school children was unknown, but he
says that he was greatly mistaken.

Of seventy-one children between

Says Women Make Drink the Vogue.
In an address delivered in the
Church of the Covenant, Washington,
DR.. John D. Quackenbos, Of the Lon.
don Society for Psychical Research,
sounded a warning over what he
called the alarming increase in the
use Of alcoholic liquors by women.
There is no more artfully organ
lied, no more upscrupulously xe-
cuted an intent to imbrute and devil
ize human nature" he said, than
that implied in the existence Of the
public bar-the grossest insult to
American intelligence, the most bru.
tai assault on the Christian con-
seriousness of the centuries.
1.-The notable increase in the on
sumption Of stimulants, especially
among the upper classes, estimated at
ten per cent. during the last decade
in the case Of men and a much
larger percentage in that Of women,
is inviting anxious attention. Up
ward Of one billion dollars are spent
annually in the United States for in
t~oxicating drinks, and another billion
for the. relief Of the restitution, the
punishment of the crime, and the
care of the physical and mental dis
eases that result directly from the
drink habit. Especially alarming is
the growth of the practice among our
women. When the American woman
gives herself up to anything she
pushes her devotion to the utmost
limit. She makes a god of her very
religion, and If she affects q habit
she affects it in the s~uperlative de-
gree. ',. i - ""l

School misses and college girls are

few Of this class, as we'll as young
married women, have been brought

Such has become the vogue; and,

No Unnecessary Trials.

Not many years ago a young man
graduated from n Of our theologi.
cal seminaries whose life seemed
specially full Of promise. He was a
fine student and q convincing
speaker; he was an enthusiast In his
work, and he had married a girl
whose hopes and ideals were as high
as his own. Together they began
their .labors in a field which called
for all their zeal and conservation.
Then suddenly the young minister
was stricken with a strange throat
disease which entirely destroyed his
voice. He consulted specialists, but
the verdict was always the same-he
never could preach again. RI.
For a time the blackness Of dark
ness settled over him. What good
were all the years spent in prepare
ton for what he believed his life
work, II all was to be ended thus?
He could not be reconciled. His
wife. drawer than he. strove in every
possible way to instill hope and cour.
age into his heart, but in vain.
One night he had a vision. He
saw the face of Christ, full Of tender
reproach.. Child. said the Pres.
ence, do you deem I know naught
of suffering? When on earth I was
often weary, that I might sympathize
with tired ones; I was lonely, that /
might have tender thought for the
desolate: I have suffered pain and
agony, far beyond what you could
have comprehended. so that I am a
brother in very deed to all who suf-
fer. Bear your load, knowing that
it was sent in truest love and wis
dom. If not now, you shall under.
stand hereafter"
The vision lifted him from despair
TO faith and hope. He found a use
for all his natural and acquired gifts,
and through the power Of his pen he
reached and swayed m%ultitudes which
never would have come under the
sound Of his voice.-Sunday-School

. Escorting the Devil to Church.
We read in the. Bible Of one occa.
sion at least when the people OF the
Lord came up to Worship and the
Devil came also. PERHAPS he was not
visible, but the invisible powers CT
the world are it's real forces. The
Devil still enjoys going to.a church
service. Most frequently he is es-
corted to the house Of God. If a mar
goes to the service. letting swear
words and all other mean things have
free course in his heart, he Is taking
the Devil along. If one goes bentfo
murder. as did Giuseppe ALA In Den
yer, the case is even more pro-
nounced.
There are variations in the extent
to which people are possessed OF the
Devil. At home, in the open air, n
the church service, that they are not
entirely given over to doing the Will
Of Satan is not his fault. That Satan
is crowded out Of their mind and
hearts in any measure Is greatly to
their credit. To he filled with the
Spirit and keep filled continually. re-
ouires constant devotion to the Lord
and a heart which lives in the spirit
of PRAYER This is the kind OF COM
munion God desires. both for His
glory and for mans growth. A con-
scions Welding in any degree to the
Devil is a backward step. Man
should set his face like a flint. and
Should declare with the psalmist,
Thy word have I hid in my heart,
that might not sin against Thee"
