L he factory never closed. lhere
the by-products of the coal pits
were transformed into aniline
dyes and drugs. And there her
husband, Edward Chambers,
worked as a night Inspector.
She had been settled here for
nearly a year-half the time since
her marriage. She had always
hated Hunstaple. But, harsh and
bleak as it was, there were harsh
er and bleaker pages in her life
from which she turned with re-
lief, even to the view from the
neat little six-room cottage. And
Edward was getting good wages.
That reconCiled her to remaining.
In a few months they would have
capital enough to go west, to the
broad and fertile prairies-she
and her husband, and their six
mOnthS-old child.
Ii never ceased, that factory.
All through the night, as she lay,
thinking heavily of the past, and
waiting till the first streak of
light should warn her to rise and
prepare the supper which her
man took on his return at dawn,
she could hear the clank, clank of
the machinery The noises had
been worse of late, because they
were repairing the superstructure
of the bridge which crossed the
dark and sluggish river. All

Admission of Liquor Manufacturers

Cincinnati whisky and beer producers say the
Webb law will lose them ten million dollars wear
That admission proves how willing they are to sell
their goods to booeggers and speakeasy keepers and
thus aid and encourage violators of the liquor law.
And yet, in every wet and dry campaign, these same
manufacturers decaim against the illicit sellers and
picture what menace they to community. This
admission also reveals fact which drys have in
sisted on and that is that large part of the money
spent for liquor goes out of the community and into
the pockets of the trust brewers Whether the monev
spent for beer and whisky goes the bar of the IL
censed saloon, is given to some blind tiger keeper
in basement attic, the bulk of it finally reaches
the big brewer wholesaler in some distant city

the stuff is consumed misery, sorrow crime and

activity of Christian men and women. This acknowl-
edgment should be incentive for greater activity on
the part of the church membership.
The vets know we'll as the drys that the Anti
Saloon League is the machine of the churches and
that the successful operation of this machine depends
the zeal and earnestness of ministers and laymen
The vets understand it we'll that they are trying to
rupture between the church and it's organiza-
ton, knowing that in such event the liquor interests
would gain advantage. For this very reason the
church and the AntiSaloon League should be brought
even closer together and believe this is being done
In united, harmonious action, the victories of the
future will be far greater than those of the past

Can 1t Be Done e?

Somebody said that it couldn't be done,
But he, with chuckle replied,
That maybe it couldn't" but he would be one
Who wouldn't say so till he'd tried
So he bucked right in with the trace of grin
On his face. If he worried, he hid it.
He started to sing he tackled the thing
That couldn't be done-and he did it!
Somebody scoffed: ooh, you'll never do that
At least, has done it,
But he took off his coat and he took off his hat
And the first thing we knew he'd begun it.
With the lift of his chin and bit of grin,
Without any doubling or quiddit,
He started to sing he tackled the thing
That couldn't be done-and he did it!
There are thousands to tell you it can not be done
There are thousands to prophesy failure;
There thousands to point out to you one by one
The dangers that wait to assa you.
But just buckle in with bit of grin
Then take off your coat and go to it;
just start in to sing you tackle the thing
That can not be done"-and you'll do it.

Law Possible

Several religious journals, in speaking of the enact
ment of the Webb law, say its passage was brought
about by the activity of the church people. This is
undoubtedly correct. The Christian forces of the
country won this splendid victory. 1t shows what
be done when the good people line up proposition
Had they remained Inactive the Webb law would not
now be on the books of the nation Its passage
is the result of systematic effort in righteous
The liquor interests have often confessed that if
ever the time should come when the church people
would line up against them and WORK. their business
would have to 60 down. This is true The churches
have the power if they would but use it. The difficulty
has been to stir them to action The apathy of many
Christian men and women has been harder obstacle
to than the activity of the brewers and liquor
dealers.
Every Victory Help
Each victory however, he ps to win others. The
churches active today than before They
cognizant of their great power. They realize
there must be service in reform movements we'll
in every day life They understand before
that sitting down with folded does not get re-
suits In the fight in Congress ending with the pas
sage of the Webb law the Christian forces busy
They their senators and representatives they
sent them kilograms they talked with them they gave
them understand the country expected them to vote
right The national legislative department of the Anti
Saloon League was backed by the church people, and
to the churches belongs the credit for the victory.
This exhibition of the strength of the church
when exercised through it's machine, the Anti-Saoon
League is causing end of worry the part of the
liquor men, They fear the time IS coming which they
have long dreaded when the churches would recog
nize their strength and use it. This is why they are
imploring those engaged in the liquor trade to get
busy and organize in order the organized and
aggressive churches and this is why they trying
they tried before to bring about dissension be-
tween the churches and the Anti-Saoon League.
Recently bunch of brewers and saloonkeepers
met in Chicago and adopted resolutions against the
use of church pupits in behalf of local option and
Prohibition, representing that these matters not
moral issues but purely material in that they have
to do with industry. Probably these liquor men
did realize the ridiculous spectacle they made of
themselves in debating to the churches when every
body knows that gang would close every church in the
country if it had the power
