Condemn! Eradicate! Exter-
inmate!
inmate!
Bishop W. F. Mallalieu.

These are three strong words, but
none too strong when applied to
the liquor traffic. The strangest
thing in all the world is that Chris
tendon does not rise en- naaSSe, and
do all that the three words signify.
The supreme enemy of the work
ing man is the liquor traffic. 1t
robs him of his hard-earned wages,
and gives him nothing in return.
When the leaders of the labor un-
ions open their eye to the facts in
the case, they will find that the
grasping avarice of the worst COM
binations is not to be compared
with the injury wrought upon labor
by the malignant liquor traffic. 1t
may we'll be conceded that the time
is not far distant when organized
labor will demand the condemna-
tion, the eradication, the extermina-
ton of the liquor traffic; and may
God speed the day.
Again, this abominable traffic is
the enemy of the home. There is
enough of wretchedness and sorrow
incident to world where none are
exempt from hardship, suffering,
pain and death, but the misery
brought into millions of homes
as the result of drink is the suprem-
est misery that crushes and breaks
weary hearts and turns these homes
into gloomy, grief-flled, hopeless
caves of death.
Then, again, the liquor traffic is
the most persistent and deadly en-
emy of the church of the living
God. 1t is the mission of the
Church and of Christianity to allie
viate human woes, to improve the
condition of life. to elevate the hui
man race, to enrich mankind, with
all good,to open before the poorest,
the weakest, the most forlorn and
sinful, the doors Of immortal hope.
Who is there so utterly blind and
insensible as not to see and know
that the liquor traffic increases and
embitters human woes. Drink is
the source Of the most aggravated
woes that affiict humanity. If it
were not for drink, half the woes of
earth would be done away with.
Surely, it is the grandest work of
the church to lay hold of those who
wander from the paths of righteous
ness, and lead them back to virtue
and peace. Or better than this, in the
very beginning of responsible child
hood, to hold them with the hand
of love, and guide their feet in the
way of holiness and save them from
the folly of sin. But, alas, and
alas, the saloon, the liquor traffic is
the foe of all this! 1t is the liquor
traffic that ruins more precious lives,
and turns more men and women
away from the path of life unto the
path of death, than any other

TOMORROW. .

TING HASSAM, well-belov-
& ed was wont to say,
When aught went wrong or
any labor failed,
Tomorrow friends will be anoth-
er dayp'
And in that faith he slept and
so prevailed.
Long live this proverb? While
the world shall roll,
Tomorrow's fresh shall rise
from out the night
And new-baptize the indomitable
!. With courage for its never
ending fight.
No one, I say, is conquered till
he yields;
And yield he need not while,
like mist from glass,
God wipes the stain of life's old
battlefelds
From every mogping that he
brings to pass.
New day, new hope, new courage!
Let this be,
o soul, thy cheerful creed.
What's yesterday,
With all its shards and wrack
and grief, to thee?
Forget it then-here lies the
victor's way.

The Sinqle-Ear Test.

Every ear Of seed-corn required
for planting an acre can be tested
at the trivial cost of from three to
ten cents an acre. The failure of
the planted kernels from a single
ear to terminate will mean the loss,
in the prospective crop, of approx
imately five bushels of corn-worth
$780,. 1t would seem, then. that
no further argument should be re-
ouired to convince any intelligent
farmer of the desirability Of tes-
ting every ear before planting.
Fifteen to twenty ears Of corn
will plant an acre The failure of
the kernels from one Of these ears
to grow means, then. the loss of not
less than one-twentieth. or five per
cent. of the prospective crop. AS
we'll plant 500 small stones as 500
kernels from an ear whose vitality
has departed. The usual method
of testing seed is to take 100 ker-
nels from a sack Of shelled corn and
place them for termination be-
tween a couple of wet cloths, sand
wiched between two plates and
kept at the proper temperature. If
all the kernels terminate, it is safe
to plant the seed without further
testing. But if only IS to SO per
cent terminate. it is best to put
aside the sack Of shelled corn for
feeding cattle and to apply the
single-ear test to number of Sc.
