PENSIONS ON WAGE BASIS

The Rock Island road has decided upon a
pension plan for its employees that is some
thing Of q novelty in that line. The COM

on a wage basis, without making any de-
mAnds Upon the employees, The manage
ment will not set aside a pension fund to
provide an income for distribution, nor will
Il deduct anything from the wages of the
employees for the creation OF the fund.
Pension payments will be made from the
railroad treasury, as they become due, and
will be charged to operating expenses each
month. Just as the payroll is charged.
The plan IL a marked departure from the
usual pension fund plans, in that It marks
the recognition by the railroad OF at least a
moral obligation to provide for It's veteran
employees. The system Is not to be con-
sidered a benevolence In any form. the

Now this the time Is approaching for
recommendations of regimental officers for
detail at the army school of the line, the
War department is prepared to receive the
usual number of requests for Interpretation
Of what officers shall be so detailed, and
even of errors in the selection based upon
ignorance OF existing orders and regula-
lions. 1t is surprising how many colonels
seem to overlook the requirements Of cir
cular No. 10, w. D., series 1908, which gives
explicit instructions as to kind OF
officers and their qualifications are desired
for detail at the service schools. The sum-
mary contained in this circular includes
among other things a requirement that de-
tails to the Army school of the line should
be limited to officers OF known ability, ex-
perience, fine record and proved scholarly
attachments as long as officers of this type
are available who desire the detail, and
the additional proviso that no officer shah
be selected who does not desire the detail
In spite of these instructins, the War de-
partment still receives occasional recon-
mendations by regimental commanders OF
officers who have not been consulted with
regard to detail at Fort L~eavenworth and
who oftentimesi do not desire such detail.
OF course the detail Of such officers is not
only unjust to them, for 1t often causes
humiliation and heart burning, but Is not
in accord with the best interests OF the
service. Il would seem that every colonel
who contemplates detailing an officer or
officers of the Army school Of the line
should carefully read the provisions OF the
circular and confine his selection to off
GERS who conform TO its specifications.

Temperance Notes.

One Of the most encouraging signs
of the times is the degree to which in
unexpected quarters the idea is pre-
vailing that the liquor trade is no
longer to be considered clean and re-
spectacle.
In view of the fact that whisky
supplies practically all Of the GRIMM
ais that are not made by the gamb-
ling fever, would it not be a good
idea if the State would supply some
refuge for the confirmed drunkard
anxious to cure himself?
A man drunk on tile egotism ot
ignorance should not add thereto the
i%ntoyication of drink.
The statement is made that over
one-half million persons are arresteo

crimes and violations Of the laws
and fully ninety per cent. Of them ale
alcoholics.

Criminals and Drink.

DR.. Albert Wilson, the brain spe-
.ialist, described the results of his
recent work in a lecture before the
members of the Society for the Study
IF Inebriety recently.
although alcohol is so great a
problem in crime, I could fill the
platform with criminals who are
teetotallers," said DR.. Wilson. "A
particularly accomplished criminal
told me the other day that he must
keep entirely away from drink when
planning a crime. Another, however,
said that he required a little stimu-
liant just to help him carry out a
job"
Dr.. Wilson told q story of Berry,
the late executioner. After carrying
out five hundred executions he be-
came so sympathetic toward crimi-
nails that he gave up hanging and be-
came a temperance missionary. Talk
ing of the magnitude of crime, the
lecturer said that a million persons
are arrested in this country every
year. Three hundred thousand,
equal to the population of a large
town, are sent to prison. while crime
costs us 100000 a year.-London

Travelled by different roads, but they
converged to one point; they were

the path that led to God.
These men prayed not occasionalfy

entered into and shaped heir charac-s

own lives and the lives of others; they:
so prayed as to make the history OF;

But | have got one of my own
That helps me to prosper and laugh at

To avoid neglect and to win respect,
Just Leave the liquor alone!"

The drinker must trudge on the road.
One gets through the world with a jaunty
The other bends under a load.
The brewer gets money and friends, my

While the drinkers left poor and alone;
If you'd have your share of good things,

And leave the liquor alone.
You'll enjoy, good health, and you'll gain
in wealth.
IF you leave the liquor alone.
A man full of malt isn't worth his salt:
Then Leave the liquor alone!"
A drinker is ready to own at last,
He has played but a losing game;
How glad he would be to recall the past,
And earn him a nobler name.
Don't reach old age with this vain regret,
For a time that's past and gone;
You may win a good prize in life's lottery
yet,
If you'll leave the liquor alone.
You'll find some day it's the safest way,
To leave the liquor alone.
Then resolve, like men, not to touch it
again.

Enter Not Into Temptation.

"A reckless mai in a geological gar.
den once seized a venomous serpent
by the nape of the neck and held y
ND before his companions. The man
thought he had the serpent wholly
in his power. But 1t began to coil
its long body about his arm and then
slowly tighten it's grasp till the man
in agony was obliged to drop his hold
of his neck. Quickly then it turned
and bit him, and soon the man was
dead.
He thought he was strong enough
to play with the serpent, and then
thrust 1t from him when wearied or
the play. Many think they are strong
enough to play with temptation OF
any sort, but they find sooner or
later that the temptation has mas
tered them. Watch and pray thar
We enter not into temptation" said

tation which is to be guarded against.

Christ in Us.

It is q great loss in every way that
we are accustomed to speak Of faith
in Christ, forgiveness, and cleansing
from sin as they we're the crown and
climax Of Christianity, instead OF bes
ing it's outworks, its o~uter-courts, the
staircases and corridors to its throne
room, it's reparative processes pre-
paratoy to its essential life and hear.
Christianity fails Of its chief end In
any life that it affects, unless 1t pro-
duces there, so far as may be possf-
BILE, the life of the Eternal God Him-
self, as it Is resident in Jesus Christ
and communicated by the Holy
Spirit.
In regeneration, at whatever time
1t takes place, and under whatever
circumstances, the principle OF a new
life Is inserted in the human spirit
AS the animal has a higher life than
the plant, and as man; in his moral
nature, has a higher life than the
animal, SO the man who has been res,
generated by the Spirit Of God has
become possessed Of a life to which
the ordinary man can lay no claim.
He has become, as the Apostle Peter
puts It, "a partaker of the Divine ma
ture." Whatever be our %differenceT
as to creed or church, they are com-
paratively unimportant, SO long as
we possess within our spirits this Dir
vine life, which is Christ mus, the
hope of glory. know We not" said
the apostle, as though 1T were an
anomaly to be ignorant of. this primal
fact, ""that Jesus Christ is in you, eg-
cept We be ~reprobates?"
The whole theme Of redemption,
the entire work of Jesus Christ, His
birth in which He brought the Divine
under the condition of the human.
His death by which He acquired
power to pass it on, His resurrection
and ascension through which He bore
1t regnant and triumphant to the
throne, His gift Of the Holy Spiriss
by which He makes it available to all
who believe-all tend to this as their
flower and fruit, hat He should re-
produce Himself in u.s..
And~if year by year we are not be-g
coming more pure and strong and
we may gravely Question
whether we have not deceived orr
selves in thinking that we have re-
ceived Him into our nature.-F. B..
