When that condition exists there will be
no occasion for prohibitory laws against
vice, for there will be nothing to prohibit.
In the meantime, however. restraints
are to be imposed as far as the wise
handling of conditions makes possible.
1t is the manifest duty of all Christian
Endeavorers to do all in their power to
promote temperance, and to check the tide
of intemperance and all other evils, by
example by teaching and by every act
within the province and duties OF Chris
tian citizenship. And this is best done. In
fact can only be done, through the me-
dunn of the gospel.
The mission of the Christian is to carry
the gospel to every creature. When this
is done all will be done that God hath re-
quired of u.s. In the millennial era there
will be no anti-saloon leagues, for there
will be saloons.
We are not to labor for the destruction
of the wicked, but for the dissemination
of gospel truth, by which wickedness is
to. be destroyed and the wicked uplifted
and saved. 1t is by the gospel of God S
only Son that the world is to be redeem
ed from evil of every kind. There is no
other way. 1t is BY the name of Jesus
Christ of Nazareth that the dead in sin
are raised up. Neither is there saliva
ton in any other; for there is none other
name under heaven given among men
whereby we must be saved.

position on the subject by asserting that
"the drink traffic is a national peril, and

In Denmark the king announced him
self in favor of national prohibition. and
last year the Italian government insti-
tuted an investigation into the liquor traf-

was carried by a large majority of the

The formation of the International Pro-
hibition Confederation, which occurred in
very recent times, has eXerted a COM
manding influence not only in this coun-
try but throughout Europe. Its pubiica-
tions of facts and arguments nave been
printed in almost every language OF the

because there is no reason for such feel

for they shall soon be cut down like the

We are enjoined to look ahead with the
eye of faith and see that the righteous
are to dwell in goodly land and be
ahundantly fed and enjoy the desires of
their heart. The Christians life should
be one of confidence, compiacency and
content. David further teaches us to

So important it is that We should be
free from discomfort by reason of the
workers Of iniuuity that the psalmist re-
peats again and again the injunction,
Fret not thyself."
We are to wait patiently for God. and
not distress ourseles because of those
who bring wicked devices to pass. We
are to do good-all that We can do to
overcome that which is evil, to advance
that which is good and then wait patient

Our good hope is for the progress of
temperance in all the earth. God is not

A Few Figures.

a man said in my presence recently
that he had been in the liquor business
all his life, and that he had never taken
a drink in his own establishment or in
any other place. except at home, where
he always took one drink just before re-
firing at night.

The Christians Task.

Whatever may be the discouragements
and adverse conditions, the Christian
knows that his labor is not in vain. His
part is to be ''steadfast, unmovable, al
ways aboundng in the work of the Lord,
forasmuch as ye know that your labor is
not in vain in the Lord
Steadfast in the faith OF the gospel i'm
movable in the hopes and expectations of
the glorious things promised and there
is certainty of final triumph over all evil
The Christian should never be discour-
aged in the work of the Lord. for he fas
the promise of Him who cannot lie that
his labor will not be in vain. He has
sure ground to build upon and every as
surance that his wook viii meet with
abundant reward. This is not only true
to the individual believer. but to the
church as a body in its divine ministry
to the world.

God shall triumph over evil and all the

Paralysis of Political Power.

the political life, because the nation, weak

great political force. The weakness OF
the nation was seen in it's vascillatins
foreign policy. The prophet denounced
the alliances formed with Gentle powers

up the folly of turning aside from Judah.

Hosea not only pointed out the cause
of the political pollution and public

pathway to permanent peace, power and
prosperity. He was the first preacher
to tell the world Of the forgiving love of
God. He learned this lesson through
suffering, sorrow and sacrifice for his
unfaithful wife. who deserted his home
and her children because of her sin.
