ing Class Than Among Rich.

The Christian Evangelist contends
that the liquor business is the great.
est foe Of the workingman, and that
he is the greatest loser by the sa.
loon. The rich man. it says, can get
along fairly well. The money he
spends for liquor is not a serious mat,
ter to him. He runs no risk Of los.
ing his Job for drunkenness. His
family Is not often brought to starva
tion or beggary, and when he gets
seriously intoxicated his valet or the
servant at the club can take care OF
him. OF course, even among the rich
a large proportion of the divorces are
produced, directly or indirectly, by
whisky. But among the laboring
classes the saloon has its best oppor-
tunity to exhibit its fruits. Its effect
on character is no worse, but its
economic results are vastly greater
and worse"

General Sir Ian Hamilton, X. c. g.,
Makes a Striking Declaration for
Total Abstinence.

Gen. Sir Ian Hamilton. K c. b..
was the principal speaker at the Gen
eral Assembly OF the Presbyterian
church held In the Scottish capital and
delivered an address which was a
striking declaration for the cause OF
temperance. Sir Ian. II will be re-
membered. pledged himself to total alb.
stinence Just year ago. and II is
candidly stated by personal Interview
ers that twelve months OF water-drink.
Ing have not in the least impaired the
health. soured the happy disposition OF
diminished the CHEEKY outlook on life
OF the distinguished general. Incident
ally his pledge has had a most beneii
army and has given a new stimulus
to temperance in both services. In
opening his address, Sir Ian said he
had come there to strike blow for
Scotland. He thought the finest stroke
for Scotland was that OF Bruce at
Bannockburn. when he raised his bat
tleax and crashed the casque OF Sir
Henry de Bohun as II IL were a nut
shell. But he believed as fine a de
liyerance for Scotland was to be
gained by dealing a stroke at another
sort OF cask-the cask OF whskey. No
longer advancing at the head OF the
English army, that cask was in the
middle OF their own camp. and II was
there poisoning and lowering the vi
tality and pride and honor OF the
truest. brayest troops to be found any.
where.
Continuing, the general said that
he thought that they I'm the army
were rather showing the way to the
civil population. He believed honest
ly that any mother sending her SOD
into the army could do so with the as.
surance that her son would run a less
chance OF getting a taste for drink
than he would In most civil occupa.
tions. These We're no fancies OF his.
but they were supported by figures.
India was most astonishing case.
In tho Indian army there were a per
cent. who were temperance men, at
home there were 26 per cent, and
they were increasing every year TO
put II in another way, the number OF
temperance men in the army, taking
the past two or three years. had In
creased at the rate of $500 a year.
From the medical department OF the
war office he learned that during the
past twenty years the number taken
TO hospital per thousand had fallen in
India to the extraordinary extent OF
from 10 to |. and in England from
2.6 to Z. The head of the medical
service told him that. directly and in.
directly, he considered that the great.
er temperance was very largely re.
sponsible for It. Disease had de.
creased as temperance increased. II
was his opinion that the enemy were
on the run, and that they could AFFORD
TO be bold; and he believed that II
anyone could lower the drinking in
Scotland by 20 per cent. he would do
more good than by adding another
province to our empire.

there are few Of us who get religion

The thought Of Christs presence
was magnificent inspiration to the
early Christian believers, who went
everywhere preaching the word OF
Him who was himself with them as
the living word. The apostles found
constant inspiration in the apprehen-
sion (if not quite the comprehension
Of Christ lncarnate, Christ redeeming,
Christ omnipotent, Christ pervaslve,
Christ the source of life and the soul
of action II am with you Away"
was the parting gift of Jesus to his
disciples. No assurance could have
been more welcome, and no conf
dence greater than that which those
words inspired II was as though the
departing Jesus had said to the men
he loved, Il will be with you even
unto the end of the world, and then
you shall be with me in a world that
shall never end!' Faith In such an
ever-present Christ overcomes the
world.
