4 DECISION FOR MORALITY.

The right action has been been
taken. The importation Of ahsinthe
into the United States has been
barred after the first of October IL
is stuff that tears out the minds or
men. France has seer h evil in it.
and Two weeks ago passed laws for
bidding its manufacture. Belgium.
Switzerland and Holland have similar
laws, and absinthe is also condemned
by the laws Of Brazil.
The action taken by the Pure Food
Board Of the United States is to be
commended. 1t marks the
that is being made for temperance
when a drink known to be dangerous
to health is forbidden in the United
States. The barring of it's from the
United States marks an advance in
our moral life, and is a step in the
right direction. The day must come
when the world will put its ban upon
stea away their brains and their
manhood. That the decision Just
made will abolish the use of absanthe
in the United States is to be hoped
Fortunate indeed, it has been that it
is so high priced a liquor that its use
has not become general In this coun
try. 1t has hong cursed France, and
it's exclusion from that country
marks a step forward for better con-
ditions in. The United States is wise
to follow suit.

"PerhapS,' remarked DR.. OidtiSh,

may not be too remote for YOU to re-
all. 1t was in 1904 that CharlG
Wagner. an AIsatian Protestant min

ture or two on what he called he
Simple Life This was a mission to
bring the mad world back to the
sane, calm pleasures of an earlier and
honester time. 1t was KIND and
thoughtful of Monsieur Wagner to
bring this innocuous eVansel to the
United States and present it for the
consideration of President Roosevelt,
at least it seemed so at the time. The
president received it with the most
enthusiastic favor. With such illus
trous Endorsement how could it fail
to sweep the country? But it proved
to be like unto something that
CHANGED in Japan a few years ago.
Once upon a time the rumor went
abroad that the mikado had become
a Christian and had been baptized.
The mikado a Christian, That was
enough for his loyal people. What
WAS good enough for the mikado. no

the most desirable thing for every one
In Nippon. Those were busy days for
the missionaries, But. alas, when
the good work was at its height. it
was officially announced from the
palace that nothing of the kind had
happened-that the mikado was vet
firm in the faith Of old Japan.
Then. like the man who had
jumped into the briar bush. thew all
jumped out again. and were. like the
mikado, just as c~omplacently heather
as they had ever been. So it was in
this country. Good Monsieur Wag-
