Unpleasant Facts.

There arc good many facts about
crimes and criminals in this country
that are not pleasant to think about.
For instance, DR.. Andrew d. White
tells us that while Belgium has the
worst record of any country in Eu-
rope for homicides it is only one
eighth as bad as that of the United
States. His figures for felonious hom-
ici1es per year per million of popu-
lation, are as follows: Canada, 8;
Germany, 4 to 5; England, 10 to IL;
France, II to IS; Belgium. 16:
United States. 1923. Note the marvel
Gus contrast between Canada and the
United States. DR.. White says: "It
seems impossible that on one side of
an imaginary line homicide could be
SO much more prevalent than on the
other. The reason is that on one
side the law prevails and not chican-
ery. and that on the other side has
taken place breakup in the admin
istration of criminal law" These
facts are an unpleasant antidote for
some of our perfervid Fourth-of-July
oratory.

THE WARFARE AGAINST DRINK
TEMPERANCE BATTLE GATHERS
STRENGTH EVERY DAY.
Education VS.. Alcoholism.


DR.. Frederick Peterson, professor
Of psychiatry at Columbia University,
in the course of lecture ON "The
Prevention of Alcoholism" delivered
before the New York Academy of
Medicine, said that as a result of
years of study he believed the only
efficient method in which to ward off
the evils due to drink was the institu-
tion of a campaign of education in
this country such as is now being
successfully waged against tubercu-
losis.
DR.. Peterson believes that the facts
as to evils of alcoholism should be
taught In the public schools and that
the statistics that tell the story of the
ravages against mankind should be
spread broadcast through the country
where every man, woman and child
can see, read and study them.
The speaker said that It was known
that between twenty and twenty-five
per cent. of all the insane in this
country owe their insanity to alcohol;
that OF the 100000 paupers in the
United States 100000 owe their
dependence to alcohol; that seventy
five per cent. of all the crime COM
mitted in the United States is due to
intemperance, and that every year in
this country there is an average of
365, 900 (1000 a day. arrests for
drunkenness.
Thirty years ago, he said, the med
ical profession as a whole showed lit
tie interest in attacks upon alcohol.
In those days, he said, physicians
were rather the promoters of the use
of alcohol as a stimulant and as a
remedial agent in many diseases.
But now the generals in the vast
crusade are such men as Sir Victor
Horsley in England. Bunge and Forel

many, and everywhere on both sides
OF the Atlantic medical men are the
foremost opposers of the use of spir-
ituous liquors as a beverage or even
as an agent in the treatment of dis
ease.-New York Times.

Alcoholic Families.

The State has to deal with the de-
scendants of alcoholics as we'll as
with the deDendent inebriates. Demme,
Of Switzerland, in study of two
groups of families, one of alcoholics
and the other of very moderate drink
ers or abstainers, reveals the follow
ing facts: In the ten alcoholic families
there were fifty-seven children, of
whom twenty-five died early and
many others suffered from nervous
disease. Only 17.5 per cent. were,
normal. In the ten non-alcoholic.
families there were sixty-one chill
dren, of whom four suffered from ner-
vous disease and S1.9 per cent. were
normal
The publication of these startling,
facts does not seem to carry nearly as.
much weight as it should in influence,
ing the community. 1t Is obvious
that the State. or at least large cities.
must make special effort to provide
institutions for the treatment of ine-
briefly. which institutions may become
the centres for dissemination to fami-
lies of an alcoholic tendency, or of
special alcoholic susceptibility. of the
truths concerning the great dangers
of alcohol to the individual and to de-
scendants.

The Christians Rewards Here--Matt.
19. 27-30; Psa. 81. 1-11-What the
Topic Means Today.

Topic Means Today.
The rewards which Jesus promised
his disciples were, according to Marks
report of the Masters words, to be
with prosecutions. With the pass
ing of the centuries there has come
change in the conditions which envir-
on the Christians life. Prosecutions
of the violent sort which fell upon the
early church are rarely known in the
twentieth century. Not so man.
Christians now as then are called up
on to break family ties, give up houses
and lands, or forfeit positions which
afford the means of earning a hveli-
hood. With the passing of the per-
secutions does the disciple lose the
promise of reward? There is today
a persistent temptation of a subtle sort
which suggests that the life of disciple
ship Is not worth the while. Is 1t
true? What are the Christians re-
wards here?
These are not so much compensa-
tion for suffering as recompense for
service. There is, first of ALL the
JOY of doing right, the joy which
comes from knowing that the obliga-
tion which God has laid upon us has
been met. This Is not OF necessity
an ecstasy of feeling. We may not
have the slightest inclination to shout.
But deep down in the depths of our
being there will! be sweet conscious
ness that we are in tune with the In
finite which will put new note in our
song and new spring in our step.
Or 1t may be that when we see soul
born into the kingdom as the result Of
our effort, IL we have never shouted
before, the Joy of this conscious part
nership with the Infinite will 30 over
flow from our hearts that we shall
make the heavens ring with our shout
ing. But whatever form Of demonstra-
tion our temperament may lead US to
indulge, there will be in our hearts
the deep Joy that comes from doing
right.

A Bothersome "somethine."

In the journal of George Fox, the
consecrated Quaker, is found this
confession: 81 knew Jesus, and He,
was very precious to my soul; but II
found something in me which would
not keep patient and kind. did
what | could to keep it down, but It,
was there. | besought Jesus to dol
something for me, and when l gavei
Him my will, He came into my heart,
and cast out all that would not be,
sweet, all that would not be kind, ALI
that would not be patient, and then,
He shut the door"
Blessed George Fox. To have the
door of the heart shut on all that
would not be sweet, kind or patient
was to find blessing worthy of what
Charles Wesley called "the second
rest"
And are there not many professed
Christians who are bothered with this,
mysterious something" which will
not keep patient and kind? Is 1t mott
characteristic of many religious lifel
to be petulant, irritable. vindictivel
and resentful? Do not quick and cut-l
ting retorts mar the conversation Of
many domestic circles and other closel
asso Citations? Are there not many
cheeks mantling with shame orl
anger because of these sudden, fool
ish and useless outbursts of Ill tenn
per and unsanctified passion?
What such persons need is sur,
render of the rebellious will to God,
and an earnest beseeching of the
Saviour to cast out all these unto
ward and distressing sediments of
the unregenerate life.
Be assured that of yourself you,
will never be able to keep them,
down" AS long as they are rooted
in the heart, they will grow and
flourish Get them "cast out" andi
the door closed after them; then
shall you find sweetness, patience and
kindness ruling your spirit.-Michi-
