Gods Guidance.

In all thy ways acknowledge Him,
ard He shall direct thy paths.-Prov-
erbs 3, 6.
When seized with a mortal malady
General Grant passed his last days in
writing his very interesting memoirs.
Knowing that his way in this world
was rapidly drawing to an end there
came to him a deep sense of Gods
gracious guidance, and so he began
the story of his life by saying, Man
proposes and God disposcs. There
are but few important steps in the af-
fairs of men brought about by their
own choice"
1t is the common experience. Gods
overruling hand may seem more man.
ifest in the case of such man, and
yet it is just as real in the lot of the
lowly as in that of those who "sit in
the seats of the mighty" "His mercy
is over all His works" "In Him we
live, and move, and have our being"
His gracious guidance is not for the
favored few only. 1t is over us all.
1t provides for all men and blesses all
men in proportion as they are willing
to be blessed. Seeing that it is so, we
should thankfully recognize the di-
vine providence that Is over us all. 1t
should be the ground of our conf
dence and the strength of our hope
for ourselves and for our fellow men.
Even though many seem to live as
If without God in the world" we
may hope for them still, for the di-
vine providence has not yet been full
filled in them If God bears with
them surely we should also. He loves
them still for all their wilfulness and
waywardness, and often in ways that
we know not of He brings the wan
derer back. 1t may be through sor-
rowful way, but His hand Is over
them still, and so we can hopefully
leave them with Him who is doing for
them all He can. He does not force
His way into their hearts, but waits
for an opening door, ready to come in
with blessings as soon as ever He can
find room.
Now, as of old, to as many as re-
ceive Him gives He power to become
the sons of God, not in possibility
only, but in very deed and truth. He
cannot help those who do not will to
be helped, but He is always helping
the helpable and blessing the bless
able and saving the savable, and so
we have the right say with him who
said:
81 say to thee, do thou repeat
To the first man thou iNayest meet,
In lane, highway, or open street,
That he, and we, and all men move
Under a canopy of love
As broad as the blue sky above"

Herald.

THE CRUSADE AGAINST DRINK
PROGRESS MADE BY CHAMPIONS
FIGHTING THE RUM DEMON.
Slowly Decreasing in Numbers.

Slowly Decreasing in Numbers.
In view of the statements of those
interested in keeping the saloon in
existence that the agitation against
the saloon does not seem to be effec-'
tive, these facts, taken from the New
York Sun, are of more than passing
importance:
There was in 1907 decrease Of
six per cent in the number of sa-
looms throughout the country, ac-
cording to the United States Census
Bureaus forthcoming report on the
statistics of the 1853 largest cities,
which had a population of over 30,-
600 each that year.
The report, prepared by Chief of
Division E. II. Mailing, contains COM
plete statistics of the number of
liquor licenses in force at the close of
the license year of the cities and the
number of inhabitants to each dealer
selling liquor by the drink.
More than one-fourth of such deal
ers in the 15S cities were reported
from New York and Chicago; the
cities of over 100000 population with
the smallest number of saloons were
Washington, 521, and Pittsburg, 1S1.
In the cities of this class the largest
number of saloons in proportion to
the population were in Milwaukee
and New Orleans, where in the former
there was one dealer selling liquor
by the drink to every 142 inhabitants,
and in the latter to every 200 inhab-
itants. The number of inhabitants
to every dealer in Philadelphia was
761, and in Boston 73S. The other
cities having less than 100000 in
habitants to each dealer were: CAL
weston, 1874; East st. Louis, 143;
Mobile, 1885, Houston, 1853; Hoboken,
1885, Sacramento, CAL, 1888; San An
tonic, 179; La Crosse, Wis, 1888;
Springfield, ILL.,, 1SS, and West Ho-
boken, 191.
The smallest number of saloons in
proportion to the population is shown
for the cities of Pennsylvania and
Massachusetts, and the largest for
those of Texas, Ohio and Wisconsin.
In comparing the number of retail
liquor dealers in 141 cities reporting
for both 1907 and 1906 it is shown
that there was a decrease of six per
cent. in the number of saloons in
1907 The decrease was general in
nearly every part of the country ex-
cept Rocky Mountain and Southwest
ern States.

Ideal Patient.

Some years ago Bishop Warren was
In South America, and it was found
necessary for him to undergo an op-
Grafton for appendicitis. The editor
of the st. Louis Christian Advocate
(Methodist Episcopal Church, South)
remarks: "The heroic bishop was as
serene and calm as a martyr when he
was placed on the surgeons table.
with faith in God so implicit that
he was less agitated than anybody in
the room, The operation was a mon
umental success. The blood of the
patient was so pure that his wound
healed like the flesh of a child. In
a few weeks the bishop was again
hale and hearty, and when the great;
surgeon met him on q street in
Buenos Aires he remarked with much
enthusiasm: you are living, walk
ing, monumental temperance lecture
and lesson; the greatest ever deliv-
cred, seen or heard in South America!
Had you been lifetime user of either
tobacco or alcohol. at your age you
could hardly have had even the frac-
tion of one chance for recovery"

A Sarcastic Editor.

A township correspondent to the
Pomeroy Leader tells of man who
was hustled to jail because he got
drunk, beat his wife and broke up the
furniture. The editor of the Leader
becomes somewhat sarcastic in COM
menting on the question. He says
0 Folks must be getting very par
ticular at Harrisonville. This is an
other blow at mans personal lib
erty. It's got to pretty pass in
Meigs County If man can't whip his
wife and bust up the furniture with
out being bundled away to Jail.
Pretty soon bibulous husband won't
have any rights, any amusement at
all. If husband doesn't know when
his wife ought to have a whipping,
who does? And wouldn't he know
better than anyone else in the world
whether the furniture should be bro
ken to pieces? If he did bust up the
furniture and whip his wife, he prob
ably did not disturb the God Bless
Our Home picture on the wall. A.

his personal liberty! And that, too,

Christian citizenship is simply an
application to modern life of the
teachings of Christ, not Of those of
any man.
Christian citizenship has to do with
all that concerns our social life, and
not merely with voting. 1t concerns
itself with the tin cans in the alley
and the little child in the factory.
The fact that our citizenship Is in
heaven must not lessen our regard for
our earthly citizenship; rather, 1t
must eXalt it,

The Christians citizenship--Acts 21
3e-What the Topic Means

The Christians citizenship---Acts Fl.
3e-What the Topic Means
Today.
A great pride in our Christian citl-
zenship is sore,y needed today. Stag
gerlng revelations of municipal cor
ruption are being made every day in
our land. Saint Louis toiled through
an investigation that shocked the ma
ton, and landed some men in the peni-
tentiary, sending others abroad hur-
riedly for an indefinite stay. San
Francisco followed with still more
shameful revelations, and II has re-
mained for Pittsburg to add the last
sickenlng scene in the disgusting trag-
edy OF nationwide civic debauchery.
Nor is the stcry all tod in the history
Of few great cities.
Christian citizenship does not mean
the selfish furtherance of personal in
terest. True, all that tells for the
betterment OF city helps every citi-
zen. But this benefit is obtained to
the detriment of no other honest man.
A just pride OF citizenship seeks the
welfare of the entire body, has an in
terest in every question pertaining to
thrusts into the background any sell
fish interest that would be gained at
the expense of the common good.
Christian citizenship Is intelligent
There is shameful ignorance of facts
on the part of the average American
citizen. What does he know of or
ganized vice? Has he investigated
civic affairs? What direct knowl-
edge has he of what the city officials
are doing? And to what extent has
he gone to know the life and record of
men who are candidates for offices
that control the finances OF the city?
The fact of the matter is that the aver
age citizen takes his civic food in the
'predigested" form, choosing either
to ignore such trifling thing as a
city election, or, that which may be
worse, simply standing by the party,
voting the ticket straight, regardless
of the man. There is a better way,
the intelligent way, involving a COM
plete study of civic affairs, the needs
of the nation, state, or city, as well as
seeking to know the record of men who
seek the power of office, and then to
only vote for those men who stand for
true Christian citizenship.

They grow in the rain,
And they grow in the dew
Yes, they grow;
They grow in the darkness, all hid in the

Still they grow.
They ask not your planting,
They need not your care,
As they grow
Dropped down in the valley,
The field. anywhere
There they grow;
They grow in their beauty, orrayed in pure

They grow clothed in glory by Heavens

Sweetly grow.
The grasses are clothed
And the ravens are fed
From His store
But you, who are loved,
And guarded, and led
How much more

His care
Then leave it with Him; He has every

Ample store.
Oh, leave it with Him,
'Tis more dear to His heart,
You well know,
