A New Crop Needed.
Whenever one studies any phase of
this liquor question, he quickly comes
face to face with the law of supply
and demand. The crop of drunkards
is quickly consumed: :. new crop must
be secured somehow. And the only
possible material is the boys of today:

manitarian spirit revoftS. The law is

Religion and Rum.
The experiment was tried in New
York some years ago of dedieating or
consecrating the saloon by the church.
But the attempt has not been repeat
ed. The only business of religion with
rum is one ns war. And while the
scientists ami selfish corporations are
fighting the liquor habit, on a cold,
calculating basis of advantage or dis
advantage, profit or loss, it still holds
good that the last word in the case is
to be spoken by Christianity. Men
cannot be scared or cajeled or bull
dozed into sobriety. The real cure
oftenest comes when a victim can say,
"The love of Christ constraineth me-"
Some words 1 once heard rescue

that sentence through heredity. Not
only has our race been growing weak
er, mentally. morally, and physically,
but by the thousands of millions they
have dropped into the tomb, the great
prison house of death, from which
there is no escape, except by and
through the Son of God. His sacrf-
flee for the sins of the whole world
secures to him the right to the control
of Adam and his race. This control,
the scriptures assures us, Christ will
assume and exercise during his Mil
lennial reign. During that thousand
years all the families of the earth will
be blessed, as promised.

RELIGIOUS THOUGHT.
Gems Cleaned From the Teachings of
All Denominations.

Today is the best day in the history
of the world. but tomorrow will be a
better day.-Rev. C. F. Aked, Baptist,
New York.
COMPANIoNsHIP.
OF all friendships. the sense of the
companionship of the Man of Nazareth
is the most invigorating.-Re w. c..
Stinson, Reformed. New York
COMING OF THE KINGDOM.
1t is not God that fails. 1t is our
faith that fails. and the kingdom will
come when Gods people respond to
Gods call.-ReV. W. NJ. Vines Baptist.
Brooklyn.
DIVINE MEASURE OF MAN.
When Christ measures a man he
does not ask the man of his failures
He says, 81 measure a man for his pos
sibilities, for what he is."-Rev. S. J.
Cam, Baptist. East Providence, r. 1.
EFFECT OF GOODNESS ON THE
BODY.
Goodness has physical values
Christian men can outstrike, outrun,
outrow the wcrld. The Christian phys
1cal constitution is the best in the
world--Rev. John Flagg. Presbyteri-
an, New York.
PERSONAL WORKERS CHANCE.
The greatest work is not done by the
man who works in the pulpit, but
the greatest field lies open to the per-
sonal workers, the personal evangelist.
Rev. c. NJ. Boswell. Methodist, Baltf-

THE HOMES BULWARK.
Marriage IS the bulwark of the
home. 1t makes, protects, safeguards
and ennobles. Whatever interferes
with home life is an injury to society.
Bishop Conaty, Roman Catholic, Los
Angeles. Cal.
WHAT CHRISTIANITY IS.
Christianity consists of righteous
ness between man and man In daily
life. 1t consists of mercy, charity, JUS
tice. Kindness, square dealing and
good works.-Rev. w. G. Partridge,
Baptist. Pitts5urg.
KIND OF PEOPLE NEEDED.
We want a host of Christian men
and women with settled resolve to
do the bidding of Jesus and go out
into the streets and alleys and compel
attendance at church.-Rev. F. J. Van
Horn, ngregationalist, Seattle, Wash.
SPIRITUALIZING BETTER THAN
WHALING.
The world Is not a commercial colos-
sus, an intellectual giant, but a spir-
itual pygnly. We take too much pride
in our CONNIE Realism. To spiritualize
a man is far greater than to vitalize
him.-Rev. J. E. tombstone, Roman
Catholic, Boston.
THE CALL OF LENT
Lent is not a time for discourage
ment because of the fact that so many
people are led away from the higher
purpose of their life by the ailurements
which beset their path. It is more es-

The rule of the world is to "Look
out for number one." Nothing could
be more antagonistic than this to the
teachings of Christ. His greatest doc
trfne, the underlying principles of all
his works and deeds, was that of self

sage that to save our lives we must sac

TOLSTOY PASSES

very restless night, however, In the
hut OF the railroad trackmen ut Asia
povo, whore he is lying critically Ill,
and today has a temperature or lO4.
The FIRST dispatch regarding the
counts supposed death came from
Prince Obensky and was everywhere
believed Throughout all Russia thea
tiers were closed last night, social en-.
tertainments cancelled and messages
OF coincidence sent 10 the countess.
Other messages had declared tina. I'm
his dying moments the COunt refused
to bc reconciled 10 mis- wife, anG tha,
the latter had been denied entrance
10 the death room. These dispatches
caused apci,ional ~ resSions OF grief
even from Tolstoy's aristocratic and
bureaucratic enemies. and a. Ii conse-
Quence in the reaction today that fol
lowed the announcement that he Is
still alive. Tolstoy is being regarded
with kindlier feelings in practically
every circle OF Russian life than be-
fore.
