THE MAN WHO TALKS

Do you ever think of the shnt-i ins or the silutsoatts-thoSe unfortunates who have no means of circulating in Heave1a,s fresh air and those whose environment at birth acts as a check to their ever rising in Iife2 The world is full of them and they are entitled to the attention which win give them good impressions of men. It is only by the divine spark in us that we can lead them to Q consciousness of a divine GverrdIing Spirit. Many people who enjoy singing Throw Out the Life-KlneD do not know what a life line is and never seek the greater joy which comes from religious action. The people who paralyze themselves with deep religious thought are in turing themselves and not helping others. This is what is the matter with many religious organizations and the parsons do not know how to gal vanize them into life. I can imagine this is one of the abiding sources of worriment for priest and pastor. What is the use of pretending to be good if we do not make ourselves good for something. Delegated goodness is not the goodness that warns the cookies of the heart-get next a. sufferer your self and find joy in having made him joyful

For a great part of my fife I be- Ionged to the class who do not read
 fiction You know of them, of course; and not reading fiction they arc to- tally ignorant of its educative or en- tertaining features. I find fiction is mostly composed of real life expert ences and beautiful pen pictures of
 most of Gods gardens and earth's s beauty spots. Fiction rightly read cer- tainlY enlightens and satisfies the mind. Some fiction is fuss and froth, but most of 1t is informing and inspir- ing. It is really the way for one class to find out how other classes live, and for one people to learn of the customs and beliefs and eccentricities of other nations or tribes: the birds and but terfiies and flowers are not left out. John Foster declared that fiction may be much more instructive than real history" and this may be the reason bits of fable adorn the Bible. When I think of it. I have 8 sense of shame because of that old prejudice against noveIS-that miserable check to en- nghtenment and pleasure. Some peo- pie read to forget. but I prefer to read to remember. Not to keep the mind alive to good things is to dull our perception and comprehension.

Peace, prosperity and prosress-war, famine and pestilence form two ex- tremes of Iife-two of it's greatest con- trasts. To look over this country is to witness the truth of the first-to gaze upon Europe with it's great war not yet 100 days old we get confirmed the truth of the second, with famine in Behgium and cholera in Austria. There is no question as to which is the preferable condition. The cause of war is the outcome of cherishing wrong ideals-in overestiInating the value of force. Man is prone to let the petty uneasiness Of his life over shadow the blessings which God is constantly sllowering upon him. He ventures to accomplish by force what he could achieve by love and makes a tragedy of the life which was intend ed to be a. joy. He knows better, but declines to do better. Today we can appreciate the saying of Fro 1e: Where all are selfish the sage i @ no better than the fool, and only rather more dangerous

money badly, so they granted the

we are out Of debt and our poorhouse

Back of it all Jim, you business men
have moral responsibility resting upon
you, you are the leaders, you are the

you to clean up your city and make it a

the great benefit OF temperance and

CONGE CTTCD A Temperance
ALA LIN Talk to Voters
THIS. ,,so BY rra

DEAR JIM-Your breezy letter was
very refreshing this warm afternoon;
it was like breath from the north
wind.
So you want me to tear loose from our
sedate old Sunday go-to-meeting town,
and come up and visit in a live-wire-
p-to-datew automatically. Quit your
kidding. 1t sounds too much like new
gold mining prospective, and by the
way it has some of the ear marks, too.
Since you refer to our prosperous
metropolis in that disrespectful tone of
voice, | will proceed to throw a few
bricks.
In enumerating all the good points
and suppressing the bad features in your
prospective you have followed closely
the lead of the aforesaid g. m. people.
You failed to mention that you had
eight saloons, a big debt, and a saloon
bossei city. Say, hve-wire is right, it
needs insulation.
| am going to give you few pointers
and it will pay you -wise-city- people
to give them careful consideration.
The average sales of saloons in the
United States is $4,000 year, your
eight saloons draw $l20,000 from YOUR
community each year. Now for every
dollars worth of liquor drank there is
dollars worth of work lost from drunks
and getting over DRINKS; that is Sl2O,-
600 more, or S240, 900 year taken from
your community, and that amount of
money added or taken from a COM
munity of the size in which you live is
the difference between prosperity and
want.
You know that if your section was dry
most of this money would find its way
to your merchants in supplying the
wants of prosperous and happy COM
munity.
Back of this would be decrease in
taxes, for you know that so per cent. of
the paupers, SIS per cent. of the insane,
IS per cent. of the criminal court work
and 80 per cent. of the murders and
suicides are caused by drink. The
amount you collect from license helps
but little. AS an example: Last year
in our neighboring city of an ap-
plication for a license for new saloon
on the south side was received. The
city Fathers looked it up and found it
