certainly not. empllaiically not!
There are in my estimation and de-
liberation. only two ways of SUE
cessful operation and final victory
and that is-by fiuIing some way of
stamping out that innculated germ
that branded mark; l.y extlrpating
and eradicatiug that lnheri,ed dis
ease of craving aud longing appe-
tne for alcohol aiul, in my opinion.
the first of all number one, is: b,
teaching its demoraliz,ng effect on
the human body and soul TO the
single individual, to entire families.
to different states, to the whole
country and to all the nations of the
world; yes, by teaching it TO the
youth, 10 the growing up children,
to men and women: by lnpressing a
moral doctrine in their heart aud
mind. SO it will poison that nursed
IN and inoculated germ. and make
room for healthy and productive
seed that will finally bring fruit of
| a higher moral character and educa-
ton, and consequently would give
them wisdom and comprehension of
higher ideas in life; and the result
will be the removal of that craving
desire and demand for liquor; and
that alone by itself will help and
assist to force the saloon out of bus
lness without the assistance of any
law.
Number two-ihe second move TO
success. would lie the framing of a
special liquor law that would he
adopted by the government of dit
ferent nations. aud he made a polit
ical national issue-a rigid law for
the prevention of manufacturing al
coholic liquor and consequently the
sale of ii. and 10 stand bv strict en-
fcrcemeDt OF that law.
In spite of the meager and incom-
plete, and not very encouraging re-
turns from states which have made
prohibition a State law. as to the
successful achievement, we will hope
that. if not the pruhIbilIon maybe it
will be the temperance movement
through the country and the whole
world that will bring us increase of
prosperity IL our industrial life;
marked betterment and improve
nent in social life, and finally. from
"A moral standpoint, decrease in
crime aud vice.

SYMPATHY

II is wonderful how much one
can do 10y pracllclng what is whole

ample. The more sympathy one
sends out. the more sympathy one
has. Here, of course, | use the
word in til. sense If understanding
of the capacity 10 feel with others.
The more one forgets oneself and
feels with others. the greater one
:.ecomes. He ceases to he a mere
individual. He becomes related to
all humanity. And the law of in-
crease and IF widening relations ap-
plies to all the vlrlues.-J. d. Barry

disputable statistics which will force
us TO the admission and acknowl-
edgememt of those true but heart

hat alcoholic liquors are All enemy
of the law, order ami moraIlty;'
iLat the American liquor shop is the
source of more than 81 per cent. of
'he worlds pauperlsn. and 80 per
cent. of the crime of all nations, and
that it is the hot-bed where out

here vice is rocked" And that
liquor drinking makes the sIums of
great cities aud the horrible cundi
items of mankind in the sIums.
Taking in consideration those estab-
llshed facts we are forced to study
aud mediate. and it might be of I'M
p"rtant Interest to listen to the
sentiment aud expression of a great
