~ HE annual meeting of the Alexandria
W county Sunday schools will be held
in the Clarendon NJ. T.. Church Friday at
pm, adjourning at $50 O'Clock, the
evening session beginning at 7:30 o'clock
The program will consist of reports, adj
dresses and songs, closing with the cleo
ton of officers for the ensuing year The
president of the Virginia State Associa-
ton and the general secretary. Mr.. T. g.
Diggs Of Richmond, will be among the
principal speakers.
1t will devolve upon this convention to
elect a new set of officers, as none of
the retiring officials is a candidate for
reelection. and it is hoped the schools
will give due consideration to this bust
ness, as much of the success of the work,
it is pointed out, depends upon the Off
GERS in charge.
The nominating committee consists of
Messrs. w. l.. Ashby. T.. w. Ball and III.
w Shipe. who Will appreciate any as
sistance in making these selections in
the way Of suggestions from those inter-
ested.
The program which will soon be issued
will contain the full list of speakers and
those who will furnish the music, but it
remains for the county schools to make
the occasion a benefit to all concerned by
an enthusiastic attendance.

A Growing Sentiment.

Under the influence of that gospel the
minds Of the people are being more and
more influenced to not only enact but
enforce laws controlling more or less
the evils Of intemperance.
Evidently there is sentiment growing
not only in this country, but generally
throughout the world, that promises to
make prohibition prohibit.
The sentiment has so far developed
strength as to enable the people to enact
prohibitory laws in number of the
states and also to some extent enforce
them.
The principal cause of failure in en-
forcement arises from the mail order
business by which the goods are sent
from what is known as the wet" ter
ritory into the sections where prohibitory
laws have been enacted
To overcome this means OF selling
liquor in dry communities there has
been introduced in the Senate "a bill to
prohibit interstate commerce in intoX-
icating liquors in certain cases." known
as the Kenyon bill.
The whole scope of this bill is to pro-
hibit the shipment of Intoxicating liquors
from one state into another where it is
to be sold in violation of the laws of
the state into which the shipment is
made.
Bills Of similar import were also intro
duced in the House. The outcome has
resulted in the passage by both the Sen
ate and the House. during this week, of
what is known the Webb bill. which
is identical in its provisions with the
Senate bill just referred to.
Now that the anti-liquor sentiment has
SO advanced as to secure the passage of
such q bill, and it stands the test of
constitutionality. it will prove decided
advance on prohibition possibilities.

The Flag and Armor.

1t is Gods army by which the final
triumph in the war against intemperance
and every other sin is to be gained
The flag under which the temperance
soldier should fight is the blood-stained
banner of the cross and the armor he
should wear is that prescribed for the
Christian.
This armor consists in having the lons
grit ABOUT with truth and having on the
breastplate of righteousness; the feet
shod with the preparation of the gospel
of peace: carrying the shield of faith
wearing the helmet of salvation and bear
ing the sword of the spirit which is the
word of God.
This armor is to be put on to enable
the Christian soldier to withstand and
overcome the wiles of the wicked.
For We wrestle not against flesh and
blood, but against principalities. against
power, against the rulers OF the dark
ness of this world, against spiritual wick
edness in high Places
On account of the great wickedness
that abounds in the world. the injunct on
is given, to put on the whole armor of
God, that ye may be able to withstand
stand.
1t is by this means alone that we can
''be strong in the Lord and in the power
of His might.
When all the soldiers of the cross put
on this arnlor and march forth under the
command of the great Captain of saliva
ton, it will be an invincibe army before
which the high places of Wickedness shall
be destroyed and temperance, righteous
ness and truth established in the earth
We know that it is written of a time
coming when The Kingdoms of this world
are become the kingdoms of our Lord.

Personal Liberty.

The great argument of those engaged
in the liquor business, and which has
heretofore been echoed by the politician,
is that the person is a free moral agent.
and the right of personal liberty is in
vaded when their business is interfered
with by law. The argument would be
sound and conclusive if the business was
not in conflict with public welfare.
1t is now, it is pointed out by temper
ance leaders, we'll established principle
that personal liberty may be interfered
with by law when that liberty endangers
morality or the public veal. There has
been a great advance during recent
years along this line of legislation. The
right of the individual to place his own
money against the money of another on
the race track is denied, though the two
men are of legal age and of sound mind !;
each owns a fast horse and each puts up
his own money.
The laws of nearly every state in the
Union forbid this as well as other forms
of gambling.
Why?
Because public morals are endangered.

Atonenent.

The greatest single evil in the world
is intemperance.
Here l remember one man
He was a teetotaler.
His virtue of temperance in the matter
of intoXicants, however praisewortlIy,
could not atone for his intemperance In
acts of selfishness and brutality in his
home life.
And SO it is with the one who is in
temperate in drink.
He may be genial. kindhearted, possess
ing brilliant qualities of mind and great
generosity of heart but all these virtues
will not atone for the sin of drunkenness
The only atonement for sin of any
kind or degree is the blood of Calvary.
The power of the gospel of Christ is
what will save the individual soul and
redeem the world from evil and all UNI

The immediate steps looking to the hold
ing of the informal conference in May
are the sending out of speakers two by
two, to principal cities to address Mon
day. meetings of ministers to explain
plans and positions. with the hope OF
forming smaller conferences, and the is
sue of papers by eminent leaders, to be
widely circulated in respective churches.
In few instances the Episcopal COM
mission is to send invitations to Luther
an bodies in America, and to some
other bodies in England and Germany, in
viting cooperation. the same to be in
dorsed by American commissions of the
respective bodies.
The purpose of the informal conference
in May is to find out what world plans
ought next to be inaugurated. A further
aim is to begin at this early date to make
the plan general. and free it from the
suspicion of being the scheme of one
body or one group of bodies.

means belonging to the Lord. the

That which belongs TO the Lord must

must support temperance, for that is one
of the virtues enjoined upon the CHRIS
tian.
1t is therefore not the church that IN
any way merits criticism.
II is ever at the forefront in every

Temperance war is in the significance and

of the existing saloon evils by reducing
the number of saloons and more string
emily regulating those that may still con-
tinue in operation.
The Senate passed the bill by an al
most unanimous vote over nine months

II was forwarded to the House and
was referred to it's committee on the Dis
trict of Columbia.

Public w elfare.

If those favoring the liquor traffic can
establish that the business does not in
jure the moral tone of the community
and is not in conflict with the public well
fare, then their plea for a right to carry
on the business, because Of the personal
liberty guaranteed by the Constitution, is
well taken, but IL they cannot SO estab-
fish. then the right to regulate, control or
prohibit by law exists under the estab-
lshed principle that personal privileges
requires such action.
The evils arising from the use of alco-
holic beverages are SO well known and
so universally admitted that argument on
that line need not be presented

For or Against.

In refusing the divine strength freely
oHered. he is necessarily allied in some
measure at least to the powers of evil.
Christ says, ''He that is not with me is
against me. and he that gathereth not
with me scattereth abroad"
1t is necessary, therefore, to be actively
allied to Christ to gain the ascendency
over sin in the personal. life and to wage
in successful warfare against the evils
of the world.
1t is true that God useth His enemies
to further His plans. yet i'll the ac-
complishment of this purpose are not His
own people the instruments employed?
