A Temperance Sermon.

Some days ago Tom Sharkey, ex-
prize fighter and aIl-around athlete,
watched thinly clad athlete, in a
Marathon run, go by his saloon in
New York, and he1e is what he re-
marked:
'That is the thing that is knock
ing out the liquor business. Every
body wants to be an athlete and q
fellow cannot drink and be an ath-
lete at the same time. Lots Of cafes
are going out Of business. Many
persons who formerly drank whiskey,
now make it beer. I notice in the
papers that people are drinking beer
because it is a little cheaper. That's
not all. The school boy athletics are
bringing about the change. The boy
is taught not to drink and he does
not do it when he grows up. But
don't mistake me. The idea is dead
right and am for it."
This is the plain matter of-fact
common sense view Of the whole sub
ject. The use Of liquor is serious
handicap IN the race Of life. No mat
ter in what department Of the worlds
work a man labors, liquor lowers his
efficiency. In the language Of the
old Tom Sharkey II am for it," and
stay with it will, in ife's summary,
find that he is both a happier and q
better man because Of his wise con-
troll Of his appetite.

Conscience Money.

A former resident of Willmar sent
a letter containing an order for $1.65,
half fare from Breckenridge to
Willmar, to pay for child who trav-
eled over the road ten years ago.
There can be no doubt about the
quality Of the religion spoken Of in
the following letter, which we are
permitted to publish by Agent Par
nell on the condition that the name
is not made known:
California, Aug. 8, 1912.
G. N. Agent,
Willmar.
Dear Sir:
You doubtless were surprised to
get my last letter, but about 9 or 10
years ago, when my folks moved to
North Dakota, there were so many
that my father didn't like to pay fare
for all, so I helped to hide one OF
the younger ones until the conduc-
tor had taken the tickets, and she
went free from Willmar to Brecken-
ridge. 1t has been troubling me
lately, so am sending you the hall
fare that should have been paid.
The good Lord has graciously
pardoned all my sins, but I must
make this matter right so I can re.
ceive the blessing Of entire sancif.
cation. I see so much of it around
me and the people who possess it ART
happy, and-well, I must have it
that's all. It's the best thing ther'
is in this world. We have glorious
meetings here, some one getting saw
ed or sanctifed in nearly every serv'
ice I do praise the Lord for bring
ing us here and for what he has dom
and is doing for our souls. Gu,
church is the Pentecostal church O.
the Nazarene.
Yours respectfully,

were defeated yesterday by rebels near

disturbances are reported daily, has
served to strengthen the popular be-
lief that the administration predica-
