One afternoon last summer my
cousin invited me to go for short
trolley ride with her, as she had two
tickets Cor the ride. l accepted her
invitation, and In turn invited my
friend, Alice. to go, too. When the
car came along, we all got on, laugh

After a short time the conductor
came around for our fares. Marion.

and yet he stood there. Fare,

Marion and said, "You gave them to
him, didn't you?" and she replied.

"oh. yes!" exclaimed. rather
shamefacedly, feeling for my pocket
book, which couldn't find, and con-
sequently becoming rather fustered,
for besides the girls and the con-
ductor, all the people In the car were
watching and beginning to smile.
At length I exclaimed: II left

were going on in my mind Alice
turned to the conductor, saying. "If

but both of US were disappointed. for

ployed in the liquor business find
work when 1t is prohibited?" DR..
Dickie said:
''In one of our Michigan towns the
'wets' were wiped out the other day.
A saloonkeeper's wife went over to a
neighbor's and began to storm about
the people taking away her husbands s
business. What am l going to do
when he has to close up?' she ex-
claimed.

blng the floors, and this woman could
stand 1t no longer. ri tell you what
You can do she said, with flashing
eyes. MY husband has been getting

saloon. Now that the saloon is to be
closed, he can support me, and you
can have my job here at scrubbing. :"

BITTER WAR ON iNIEMPERANCE
SOLDIERS FIGHTING THIS CURSE
GREATLY CHEERED.
The Consumption of Liquor.

The American Prohibition Year
Book for 1910 is just to hand and
gives some interesting statistics on
the consumption of liquor in this
country as compared with the United
Kingdom. In 1889 the drink bill of
this country was sS40, 100000 as
against S750,000, 900 for Great Brit
ain and Ireland; an expenditure of
s14 head against $40 head. In
1899 our bill was 1,000,000,000
against 5000. 100000 for Britain; or
S14.40 q head against S23 a head.
In 1908 this country spent S1,675,-
100000 for liquor against SS00,000,-
900; or $19.22 a head against SIS a
head.
For the last ten years, owing large
ly to the increasing excise tax, the
English per capita consumption has
been steadily going down. So much
so that the nation is now saving an
nually S120, 100000 a year as com.
pared with 1899. On the other hand,
the consumption of liquor steadily
increased up to 1907, when it reached
the high water mark of $1,757, 7,000,-
900.
The only encouraging figure in the
long table, as far as this Is concerned,
is the expenditure for 1908, which
shows a decrease of $4,000. 1000.
Unfortunately, that is just one-half
the increase which took place during
the year Immediately preceding. 1t
is to be regretted that the Year Book
does not give the figures for 1909,
as they are elsewhere stated to be
much more promising.
OF course, the above figures are all
only estimates. 1t is impossible to
get at The exact fact. But they are
perhaps close enough for the COM
parison based upon them.

Civilization "Soused."

have read your quotations from
the address delivered recently by DR..
I. Alexander MacNichol, and am
puzzled at the use of the word pes
simistic" in describing his sentiments.
Has any one proved that DR.. Mac
Nichol Is wrong in his statements?
There are any number of people who
believe him to be right, and If he has
merely stated fact why should he
be called pessimistic?
The word optimism seems, through
common usage, to mean a white
washed, rose-tinted, sugar-coated de-
scription of the bitter things of life
which some men absolutely refuse to
see, and pessimism, instead of stand
Ing for the distorted vision of torpid
liver, is utilized wherever a man OBJ
serves actual conditions and describes
them exactly as they are, with no at
tempt either to gloss or darken them.
Apparently no two words in the
English language are more abused
than the two in question, and no in
telligent thinker is more wronged by
the public than when he is called a
pessimist for merely being a truth
teller.
In view of these facts Is 1t not pos
sible that DR.. MacNichol's suggestion
that the Government should use its
police power for the destruction of
alcoholism Ito save future genera
tions of school children) is something
more than pessimism?
Regardless of the fact that the
writer will also be called pessimist
l have no hesitation in saying that
civilization is "soused" at the pres
ent time, and unless the Government
soon reforms itself and it's people
there will be little vitality or longev-
ity left for coming generations

I, 2, IL; I John 8: II.
Titus 2: lila. The New Testament
church looked for the early return OF
our Lord to the earth. So there are
frequent references in the epistles to
the expected event, and Christians
were exhorted to shape their lives so
as to be in readiness for 1t. They
ought to live unworldly and careful
lives, constantly interpreting life and
adjusting themselves to life in the
light of Christs appearance.
We know now that the early church
misunderstood the purpose of Christ.
But that does not make the apostles
advice any the less important. The
very best way to live the life of
Christian in this present world is to-
live in the way that would meet our
Lords approval IL he we're suddenly
to appear in the midst Of us.
Hebrews 12: 1, 2. IL: Here is an
other up look. The example of the
heroes of the faith is worth much, but
we look beyond all these, until we
see Jesus, author and perfector of our
faith. He Is example, inspiration, and
rewarder, all three.
But, looking unto Jesus, we dare not
ignore those who are all about us, and
who cannot see him. They will see
him, IL at all, first our reflection of
his spirit and his teaching. The world
has many hands that hang down, be.
