In agony of heart this many years?

Say not, the Father hath not heard our
prayer.
We shall have our desire-sometime-

The Christian people of this country
have been praying for temperance for
many years, but lately they have added
systematic work to their prayers and
the results have been such as We wit
messed in Congress this week. We
know that our prayers Will be ans
wered, IL We pray hard enough, and a
good evidence of the right spirit OF
ing up the Anti-Saloon League have re-
allied this, and since their organiza-
tion there has been a slow but steady
decrease in the liquor traffic.
Just now the Webb bill is attracting
a good deal of attention. 1t is a meas
ure designed to prohibit the interstate
shipment of intoxicating liquors into
dry territory. 1t seemed that almost
every conceivable effort was made both
In the Senate and House to prevent the
matter from coming to vote. but
though Congressman as a rule dislike

forced to 1t they usually vote the right
way. The result as everyone knows
was an overwhelming majority in favor
OF the bill, and IT is now awaiting the
Presidents signature.
Temperance Conditions Throughout the
Country.
This is not the only advance that
has been made. along temperance lines.
At the beginning of the twentieth CEN
tury there were five States under pro-
hibition-Maine, Kansas. North Dakota,
Vermont and New HAMPSHIRE Now
there are nine entire States In the tenn
perance column-Maine, Kansas. North
Dakota. Georgia. North Carolina, Mis-
sissippi. Oklahoma, Tennessee and West
Virginia, where the victory was won
last November. The liquor people say
that these States have only voted dry
because they know they can get liquor
anyhow, ard that when the Webb bill
comes into operation they will all re-
turn to the wet column. The people
who make such statements as these do
not realize that the Christian people of
these States have been aroused. and not
only want to make the locality more
decent for themselves, but also for their
children to come. In adition TO the
States above mentioned there has been
a net increase of nine In the number
CT States under county option since
1900, and an increase of eleven in the
number OF States under municipal local
option; two States have adopted resi-
dence district option for cities, while
two others have abolished all saloons
outside of incorporated villages and
cities And so We see our nation Is
