The Curse In France and Switzerland.

The Curse In France and Switzerland,
A poster prepared in 1900 by the
Medical Society of Nancy and signed
by nearly all the physicians in that
Department, stated that more than
eleven per cent. of Frances 36.000,-
600 Inhabitants, !. e., 100000, are
alcoholists
Figures given by Magnan for the
Partisan (Insane) Hospital of st.
Anne for the year 1894 show that
3O.11 per cent. of the men received
and sos per cent. of the women were
alcoholists in the true sense, but IL
all those are included "for whom al
cohol opened the door of the insane
asylum" the corresponding numbers
would be 3S.12 and 1881 per cent.
France stands third on the list of
countries where suicide is the most
frequent. her rate being 246 per
100000 inhabitants.
During the debate on the abolition
of the death penalty in the French
Chamber of Deputies, July, 1908, Jo-
seph Reinach, vice-president of the
anti-alcohol group in the Chamber,
said:
"It is not the penal laws that are
responsible for the increase in crime:
1t is alcoholism. OF that statistics
allow no doubt. And why should
not crime increase with the increas-
ing consumption of alcohol, which
wealSens the will and dulls the intelli-
gence, delivers the brain up to un-
resisted impulses, and so paralyzes
moral responsibility that it becomes
only fiction? 1t is much easier to
rub the rust from the guillotine and
set 1t up again in our public places
than to institute an effective fight
against alcoholism, this scourge of
our time, this destroyer of our mill
tary strength, this annihilator of our
vital energy; and 1t takes less courage
to set up and maintain the guillotine
than to touch the privilege of the pri-
vate distillers to reduce the sale of
alcohol"
I'm 1884" writes DR.. R. Hercod,
OF the International TEMPERANCE Bu-
reau, 1.-THE Swiss Federal Council was
of the opinion that moderate beer
drinking was an antidote against
spirit-drinking. It afterward recog-
nized this as mistake, and in the
message of March 15, 1901. admitted
that we were threatened in Switzer-
land with beer and wine plague"
Switzerland has been for a number
of years the centre of an active scien-
tific investigation of the alcohol prob
lem. and is the only country thus far
that requires in her mortality statis-
tics definite information regarding al
coholism as a contributing cause of
death. Her official statistics for 1901
gave the rate of deaths due wholly or
in part to alcohol as twelve per cent.
For the decade from 1892 to 1902
the average rate was 1912 per cent.
These statistics have furnished the
basis for the often recurring state
ment that in Switzerland every tenth
man dies from alcohol.
DR.. Herman Blocher says the alco-
hol question is the question of exist
ence for the Swiss people.

Suggestions.
Christianity Is winning the world,
rather than conquering it; gaining its
victories, not by force or even main.
ly by argument, but by love.
No less than the whole world will
answer Christ's plans. Is less than
the whole world in our plans for
Christian work?
Christ wins the world, but oaly
through Christians. We are nothing
without Christ, but Christianity is
nothing without us.
Illustrations.
In the swing of battle a man will
do what he could not do otherwise.
This will be true of us II we get into
the swing of this peaceful war Of
Christ.
The momentum of a falling object
grows as 1t moves. Christianity is a
falling upward, and men progress ever
faster as they draw near the throne
of God.
Christianity wins the world as
quietly yet as resistlessly as the sun
wins the world each spring out the

IndustriaIism and Drink.

The use of alcohol to drown trou-
BILE and to make a man forget the
worries of the day, as suggested by
Prof. Munsterberg, is not favored by
the industrial leaders in Germany
and Austria. A resolution passed at
the Fifth Industrial Congress, held in
Vienna, declared that alcohol weak
ems the thinking power of the labor
ing man so that he is not in a condi-
tion to consider means of bettering
his condition, and that In that
country alcoholism is one of the
greatest hindrances to the physical

working classes. This Congress re-
solved. says Der Abstinent, to en-
gage in an active campaign of lee
lures and literature to teach the peo-
pie the destructive consequences of
the use of alcohol for the workman
and his family.

Awakening of Korea q Pet.

Awakening of Korea q Pet.
8: 9; Jonah d: 10, II.
Let us first consider Jonah. God
always speaks to men in the terms
they can most easily understand Jo-
nah had a wayward, stubborn heart
which found it difficult to enter into
the loving-heart purpose of the Eter-
nal toward his children, and yet he
could appreciate the kindly service Of
a gourd vine in shading him from the
heat of tropic sun and sorrow over
1t sudden destruction. So God uses
the incident of the gourd and Jonahs
tender pity for 1t to teach him of the
mercy and love of Jehovah toward a
vast city like Nineveh, in which the
babes alone number six score thou
sand persons.
Turning now to the Second Epistle
of Peter. we find a somewhat broader
and different view of this great thing.
There are scoffers In every generation
who, in their blindness, fail to see the
unending evidences of the presence
and power of god in the affairs of the
world. The judgment and the final
recompense for good and evil are the
subject of their constant sneers and
jeers. Peter rebukes them by calling
our attention to the fact that they err
in two great fundamentals.
1. They err as to the nature OF God
and the processes of his providence,
which, in their eternity, measure days
by periods of thousand years, while
In actual achievement he often does
the work of a thousand years in one
finite day.
2. The delay In Judgment and ret
ribution is not due to any slackness or
fault in the divine nature, but to the
unfaltering love and tender mercy Of
God to all his creatures, he giving this
period of probation and new trial to
his wayward children that they may
find the way of repentance and saliva.
tion. In this lies the hope of all
heather nations, for he is long-suffer-
ing toward them, and not willing taat
any should perish, but that all should
come to repentance.

JUST WHAT REAL
SCRAPPLE is.
Writer Gives a Few Hints About
the Preparation and Eating es
This Dish.

Scrapple comes In with india sum-
mer and last years overcoat. says the
Baltimore Sun. Next to buckwheat
cakes, sauerkraut and hog-and-hom-
my, 1t is the most delicious break.
fast dish known to the human race,
but 1t behooves the consumer to have
care In buying 1t.
Bogus scrapple, unluckily, is all too
plentiful. The basis of the real arti-
Gle is the fragrant liquor in which
country sausage has been boiled, and
Its body or substance is furnished by
home grown corn meal. ground in
water mill. Such scrapple is more
palatable than venison and more nu-
tritious than pemmican. 1t is partic-
ularly rich in proteids. carbohydrates,
alkaloids. manganese, lime, naphtha
and other bone and sinew making
contents.
Ia the old days all of Baltlmore's
scrapple came from Pennsylvania. 1t
came across the Mason and Dixon line
at midnight, and was brought down to
the city in Conestoga, wagons. When
the seasons first wagon came rum
bling down the York road, usually
about October 20, there was a rush
for 1t. and sometimes its cargo
brought fancy prices---ten cents
slice, or even more. But to-day Balti-
more is no longer dependent upon
Pennsylvania for its scrapple supply.
That made in Maryland is equal to
the best. No doubt the future will
see Maryland scrappIe supreme in all
the markets of the world, for the
Eastern shoremen, as well as the
Western Marylanders. seem to have
an uncanny talent for the manufac-
ture and Improvement Of delicatessen.
The case OF sauerkraut comes TO mind
at once. Twenty years ago that
quecniy victual had TO be imported
from Bavaria, but to-day the sauer-
kraut OF Salisbury and CrisfieId has
left that OF Munich and weimar far
behind 1t.

work, superior to anything of to-day,
cost "A penny a day and a bag of
meal for each laborer." The parable
OF our lesson is evidently intended to
teach that God will give more than
he has stipulated.
At the close of the day we read,
those first hired murmured against
their lord. We cannot suppose that
any who would be counted worthy Of
share in the Kingdom would MUIR
muir against the giver of all good
The rewarding is to be expected at
the close of the harvest day and the
murmuring may be expected there
also. The penny" or reward would
thus seen to be something of the Joys,
blessings, honors and privileges OF
Gods people I'm the present life, at
the close of this age. Those who
murmur that they do not receive a
sufiiciency of honor and distinction
and of Divine Acknowledgement will be
thereby proving themselves unfit for
the future service beyond the veil, "
as those Of Gods people who have
been long I'm the truth and who have
had great privileges of service. that
If they murmur against the blessings
and rewards coming to them, It will
mean that they were laboring with
Christ and with the Father; IL would
imply that they had failed to enter
into the spirit of the wonderful priv
ileges granted them of serving the
Lord, the truth and the brethren. The
spirit spirit, the proper interest in
the Fathers work and in the bre1 rem
should prompt all to rejoice with
every new laborer and to be glad
that all such should receive of the
Lords favOrs, blessings and enlight-
eminent as fully. as freely, as them
! selves. Surely any who have not this
spirit have not the spirit of Christ
on this subject.
The general lesson is that God is
so Just, so generous. so bountiful in
his dealings that all those who APP
preciate matters from his standpoint
will rejoice in the blessings which
overflow upon others. A failure TO
appreciate the Lords generosity was
one cause of stumbling to the Jews
eighteen centuries ago-they We're
offended that the gospel message
should go out beyond them to the
Gentiles. Similarly to-day some
Christian people are stumbling over
the fact that the word OF God shows
that, whereas Divine blessings are
now confined TO the chur~h, "the
elect" the servants and handmaidens
of the gospel age, yet the time is near
at hand when God will pour out his
spirit upon all flesh" and when all
the families of the earth shall be
blessed.
All who have the privilege o.
Bearing the labor and heat Of tn,

glad of the privilege. in order TO b.
worthy Of participation In the King
dom. Thus some who seem to be
first in their promptness to respond
to the Lords call for labO-ers may
be amongst the last to receive special
blessings Of grace and truth and this
may serve as a snecial test upon
them-as respects their loyalty. and
the motives which actuated them in
engaging in the vineyard work.
