A little heart may play
In childhood's frolic, laughterborn,
With love to lead the way.

Soft with white souls light,

Burst on our longing sight.
A little sun-kissed garden where
Mid flowers true hearts may grow,
The tendrils OF happy home
And have heaven below.
A rainbow gleam across earth's graves,
Arched DER the faded years,
Wrought OF the mingled Joy and pain
Blending OF smiles and tears.

Above the mists that fall
All softly, softly on our dream,
And God 5 love over all.

RULES IN BRITISH COLUMBIA
Important Changes in Liquor Traffic
Regulations Have Been Made
Measure Is Strict.

Important changes have been made
In the law regarding the liquor traffic
in British Columbia, bringing that
province more into conformity with
the eastern provinces in the restric.
ton applied to the liquor traffic. The
measure is a much stricter one than
any heretofore passed in the prov.
ince. The changes are in the direc.
tion Of more effective safeguards to
the order, peace and good morals OF
the far-scattered settlements and
camps, which are yearly coming into
closer association with each other
and with the larger centers of popula.
ton. Under this act a hotel must be
genuine place of entertainment,
with sleeping and table accommoda,
ton, and not a mere drinking place
The number of licenses In small com
munities is greatly reduced. Regula
tions are made as to the character
and record and race of the license
holder. There is local option to the
extent that two-thirds of the residents
must petition for the license, all
adults, men and women alike, having
a voice In this matter. The fees are
increased in some cases by so per
cent. in others still more. Large pow
ers are given to the superintendent
of police, and to inspectors in the
Withholding. experimenting, or can.
ceiling of licerses. There are also
wholesale and even drastic limitations
on purchasers, and the use of the in
terdict is greatly enlarged. Sunday
sale Of liquor to excursionists is sup
pressed, and the general effect Of the
legislation is towards an orderly OBJ
servance of the day. Enforcement Of
the law is assisted by placing the bur.
den of proof on persons found with
liquor on the premises. Thus not
only in respect to the unorganized dis.
tricts, but throughout the provinces.
the changes are in the direction of
greater restriction and stricter regula.
tion.

Noted Author on Drink EVIL.

In noting the number of men OF art
and letters who have arrayed them
selves as opponents of liquor-drinklng
and the alcohol cult, the name of Mr.
Hall Caine, the well-known English
novelist, may well be given a promi-
nent place. In the preface to his late
novel, Drink" the author writes the
following clear-cut statement of his
recognition of the gravity and urgency
OF the drink problem in the life of the
present day and demands for Il the
application of effective methods for
it's solving. His declaration reads:
1T seenC TO me that the problem
OF intemperance is one of the gravest
and most urgent that has ever con.
fronted humanity. and that the first
necessity is that Of clear compre-
henslon Of the root of the evil. Ia

sin! II It Is a disease the victim Is
an object for compassion. and the
cure lies at the doors OF the physi.
clans. II II is a sin the transgressor
is a subject for 'reproof and punish
ment, and the duty OF moral regepera-
tion Is In the hands OF the clergy. ~
II is both disease and a sin. the

and the clergy the task of healing and
