THE PEOPLES FORUM.
Gospel Temperance a Law.
To the Editor of The Renuhliran

To the Editor of The Republican.
We are all more or less creatures of
habit, and We, especially in our earlier
years, learn by imitation. especially of
the one whom we take as our example.
There is, however, but one perfect eX-
ample, and He is the only one we can
safely follow. No one has ever made
mistake in following Him, nor been led
astray by initiating him. know it has
been said that Jesus, our perfect exam
pie, did not preach temperance. That
is. he never preached temperance ser
mons such as we know today. Be that
as it may. 1t cannot be doubted that he
laid down principles and gave lllustra-
tons which include all that can be said
on this subject. Look at Matthew 26:4l,
where he bids US g watch and pray, lest
We enter into temptation; or the PRAYER
Of Matthew 6:l3, Lead US not into
temptation, but deliver us from evil. "
Are not social and moderate drinkers 90
ing into temptation and doing the very
thing they should ask God for strength
to avoid? Surely temptation is before
them and it already has mastering
power over many who began in this
way.
If we will use this petition as we
should, with desire to keep out of temp
tation, we will find that it will ALWAYS
gi US strength to resist. There is no
example, no persuasion of others that
can stand against it. 1t is better to
give such general principles of action,
that can be used on all occasions, than
to give the specific directions that would
be necessary for the many temptations
to which we are constantly exposed.
How does Christ deal with the sins to
which we are so much addicted that
they have become so familiar as to be
as much part of US as the hand or the
eve, and what is the duty required of
us as to these sins? He tells US in Mat
thew 5:25, "cut it off, " pluck it out. "
Hard, OF course 1t is, but its the only
safe way. 1t is heroic remedy but a
sure cure. Apply these words to the
appetite for strong drink, and you are
impressed with the necessity of giving
1T up at once, no matter how hard it
may be, or what it may cost. Cast it
from you-that is plain duty. Duty is
something that ought to be done and if
we do not we are guilty.
The teachings of Christ covers the
entire ground of every moral duty over
which the divine law extends. 1t reg
ulates the whole outward life, searches
the heart and closes the door against
temptation. If We have put ourselves
IN the way of forming an appetite for
drink by yielding to the tempting glass,
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1913-09-04

/ we can not say that Christ has not for
warned us of the temptation apd shown
us the way We may be armed against
1t. If the appetite has been formed
then he has shown us the way to end
all connection with it, VIZ" Cast it
from thee
The law of gospel temperance requires
rigid enforcement of this effectualre-
straint, nor can we evade the manner
OF enforcement as provided by the law.
Christ was present at different enter
tainments but there is no account of
his drinking wine. Surely there is moth
ing in his example to justify US in TAX
ing intoxicating drinks.
1t is pitiable and disgusting for any
one in this day to try and asperse the
character of Christ, that he may get a
footing for intoxicating drinks. The
way to be absolutely safe from drunk
enness is to avoid moderate drinking
watch against it and repel the entice-
ments of pleasure which lead to this
sin. Enticing indeed are the pleasures
of social and cornwall drinking but no
one knows the depths of sin and degre-
dalton into which he may be led by
them. 1t may be long distance be
tween the first and last glass but it is
chain of responsibility from first to
last. We can't take any risks in the
dangers of temptation.
Christ enforces the whole range of
principles that characterize Christian
living in Matthew 1924. "If any man
will come after me let him deny him
self and take up his cross and follow
me. y This has many applications. A
man with an appetite for Intoxicating
drinks must take up his cross at once.
This lust must be crucifed. If he does
not master it it will master him. What
a lot of church members there are, who
profess to follow Christ, yet do not deny
themselves IN the matter of temperance
and so bring reproach on religion and
disgrace on themselves. From motives
of popularity or gain they excuse them
selves from taking up the cross when
they should sustain the cause of tenn
perance.
AS to the miracle wine of Cana, Paul
gives a statement of interest as to the
principle of Intoxicating wine in his
1.-The mind of Christ
In Eph. 5:18, And be not drunk with
wine wherein is excess, but be filled
with the Spirit" The word translated
'eXcess" gives the character of this
principle. The word in the Greek
asoteia excess is a compound Greek
word and means something injurious or
fatal to the safety and preservation of
the body. He simply affirms that this
principle existed in wine, and was the
reason why it should not be INDUCED in.

VIRGINIA SAVAGE RECEIVERS MIND.
Release Oakland Girl From Insane
Asylum

Virginia Savage has been released
from the Springfield Hospital for the
insane.
Virginia Savage is the 1S-year-old
girl of Oakland, Garrett county, who
was tried in Cumberland for infant
eide at the April term of court in 1912.
After giving birth to a child in a
Baltimore hospital Miss Savage start
ed with her newborn babe to her home
in Oakland, riding on Baltimore and
Ohio train No. l. At Rawlings station,
just west of Cumberland, she threw
the baby out of the car window where
it was found dead next morning.
The verdict of the jury was mot
guilty by reason Of insanity at the time
of the commission of the offense and
still insane" By order of Judge
Keedy she was sent to the Sylvan Re-
treat and was afterward removed to
the Springfield institution at Sykes
vile, Carroll county.
The girls release was the result of
habeas corpus proceedings instituted by
Attorney p. c, Barnes.
Her mental condition and ger al
health are now considered excellent.
She intends to join her family in Florida,
where they moved shortly after the trial
in Cumberland.
Physicians say the temporary de-
mented condition was ca fused by her
leaving the hospital before she had
recovered her strength because of lack
of funds.

Washington, D. c.. Sept. /, 1913.
MIR. Benz. II. Sincen,
Editor The Republican.
Dear SIR
Senator Jackson has the right to
designate one principal and three alter
mates for appointment to the United
States Naval Academy, the entrance
examination taking place in February
or April, 1914 Believing that the best
interests of the Navy can be promoted
by recruiting its officers after the wild.
est competition among the people to
whom the Navy belongs, and believing
that every boy in Maryland of the re-
quired age should have the opportunity
to enter the Naval Academy. he has
decided to make these appointments as
the result of a competitive examination
to be heldHon October %, 1914 by the
Civil Service Commission at the usual
places in Baltimore. Hagerstown.
Frederick, Cumberland, Washington.
Salisbury and possibly Easton. The
examination will last six hours and the
subject matter will be similar to the
to the usual entrance examination to
the Naval Academy These examina-
tons will be open to every boy in Mary
land who is of the proper age and has
the proper physical requirements. It
will simply be necessary for the appli-
cant to fill out the blanks furnished by
the examining officers on the day Of the
/ examination.
Senator Jackson will regard it as
great favor if you will give this an
nouncement wide publicity in order that
the opportunity to enter the Academy
may be as great as possible.
Yours very truly,
A. W. w. WOoDCoCK,
Secretary.

OAKLAND HIGH SCHOOL.
The Course of Study, Which Has Been
Revised.

The course of study for First Group
State High Schools of Maryland, of
which the Oakland High school is one,
has been revised, standardized and adopt
ed by the State Board of Education
June 25, 1913. and becomes effective
September, 1913.
Seven units of work are now neces-
sary for graduation. Nine units are
required and the other eight units are
elective.
The unit of work, which is now ac-
cepted in this country as the most con-
venient standard for measuring work
in secondary schools, represents a
years study in any subject, constituting
approximately from Sc to 40 weeks and
that from four to five periods of 40 to
60 minutes in length are pursued week.
The departments of the Oakland High
school are Academic, Commercial,
Domestic Science and Manual Training.
Seven well prepared instructors will
have charge of the several courses of
study. The studies will be pursued
strictly in compliance with the require
ments of the State Board of Education.
1t Is, therefore, very necessary that
all those who wish to attend the High
School begin their studies on the first
day OF school and pursue them deligent-
ly each day through each of the four
years of school in order to graduate.
The State Board of Education issues
the diplomas, which are signed by the
State Superintendent, County Superin-
tendent, President of the County School
Board and the Principal of the High
School
All the pupils of the rural schools of
the county as well as the pupils of the
Oakland Grammar School, who have
satisfactorily completed all the grades
below the eighth grade, are eligible to
enter High School,
Those who enter fist year High School
should bring their credits and state
ment from their former teacher, stat
ing that they have completed the
seventh grade.
The High School opens September the
eighth. A special program has teen
arranged for 1890 O'Clock a. m. There
will be special music and an address by
Miss Rebecca Thayer, of Cornell
University. The parents and friends of
education are cordially invited to be
present. From 8 to 1870 O'Clock the
Office viii be open for registration of
new pupils. At O'Clock D. M program
of study will be announced, books
distributed and lessons assigned.
We hope we will have a large en-
rollment on the first day. The parents
should give their children the advan-
tages Of attending High School The
school belongs to them. The young
people should have every opportunity to
intellectually prepare themselves to
meet the demands of modern strenuous
life.
The function of a High School in any
community is to serve that community
efficiently, to foster an educational
spirit, to exert healthful influence and
to help its boys and girls to obtain
knowledge and wisdom as well as to
live happy and useful lives.
We truly hope the parents will visit
Us often during the year and CO operate
with Us most effectively. We, too.
earnestly solicit your sympathy, good
will and support Help US to make the
Oakland High School genuine educa-
tional institution of which we may be
justly proud. Very truly,
