And Sorrow Is Turned
Into JOY Before
Him.

A woman has written from
facts a most remarkable novel in
which this national menace is
terribly and truthfully depicted.
The book of Job gives the title
to this novel in the following quo
tation on the fly leaf:
"Canst thou draw out Leviathan
with a hooko Upon the earth
there is not one like him. He is
king over all the children Of pride.
When he raiseth himself up, the
mighty are afraid In his neck
remaineth strength. and sorrow is
turned into joy before him.
It is because Of this last sem
tence. perhaps, that the dread
drug can be most likened to
Leviathan. since so many sad
souls and troubled hearts and suf-
fering bodies find temporary joy
in the merciless grasp of the
drug.
But God and all His hosts Of
.AIintstering Angels must come TO
the rescue Of one who seeks such
JOY. or the end is misery shame
and despair.
The author has painted in vivid
colors the terrible fight made by a
brave soul to overcome the drug
habit after-it had been contracted
and after repeated efforts and
failures to abandon it, and she
ends her great book with her hero
cured and in perfect health and

yT7HEN you begin talking
w about the opium habit of
the Chinese people do you
know who started them on this
long lane which has so few turn
ings (and those turnings always
downward)
Those pagan peopie' were
forced into the opium traffic by
the most orthodox Of Christian
nations, the British
Opium brings England 5000
100000 year.
At one time a parliamentary
commission was aapninted to in
vestigate the effect iiofsqpium on
the Chinese race a4dfthe, British
official in charge -of''the matter
swore roundly that it was no
more harmful than 'twiddling
ones thumbs.
This in face of the awful evils
which result from the drug. TO
such depths will a desire for
financial profit drag Christians.
1t has been said that eleven men
out OF every ten, smoke opium in
China. And this habit can be
traced directly to Great Britain.
America is honeycombed with
opium dens. And American So
ciety, from the underworld TO the
unemployed rich, has its hundreds
of thousands of drug devotees.
Ask the messenger boys OF any
Of our large cities what they
know about it. These boys are
the 60 betweens who bring the
drugs to the unfortunate victims
of the habit in dens of vice and
in palatial homes, oftentimes
where the regular employees of
the house would not permit the
poison to enter in any regular
manner. But the messenger boy
can always enter. Just as the
physician can always enter.
In the days OF our Pilgrim
fathers and their successors there
was no such thing as drug
menace. 1t seemed TO enter
America during the Civil War.
And since then it has grown, until
it is a colossal evil, aided and
abetted by large percentage Of
physicians and helped by drug
gists and virtually ignored by the
church and society.

WORK OF THE
COUNTY Y.M.C.A.
Otis B. Read Completes Plans For
Community Sunday in the
City of Lambertville.
TELLS OF THINGS BEING DONE

Otis B. Read, of Mount Holly,
the Burlington County Y. NJ. C. A.
Secretary, was in this city Monday
arranging for the Community Sun
day meetings that will be held here
On March 10Th. The arrangements
are practically complete, but for a
few minor details, and the program
will be published and distributed to
every house in the city prior to the
date of meeting.
The County Y. M. C. A. work is
summed up in the following para
graphs
The County and Rural Work of
the Y. M. C. A. does its work
through groups of boys and young
men in smaller towns, and County
Communities by the use of volunteer
leaders.
Emphasis is placed upon personal
ity, rather than equipment. Mem
bership is based on what boys and
men bear in service, rather than
what they get in privileges. The
vital center is not place but
personality.
1t thus becomes the work of the
County Secretary to discover, en-
list, train and develop men for
leadership for groups, using as the
redemptive force, the resident
forces in the community. rather
than imported.
When a competent leader is secur-
ed, meeting place is all that is
necessary for the convenience of
the members, a room, a head
quarters.
Sometimes a vacant room over
store is rented; sometimes
ISCCUlS 1OOili, UdSeIIS1l OF q CQurCn,
or a Fire Hall is secured. Even
barns have been used.
Frequently boys meet in the home
of the leader or in each others homes.
Any considerable equipment or
apparatus, especially in the first
few years is sometimes more of a
hindrance than help.
In fact whatever demands closer
expert attention than the County
Secretary can give, should not be
undertaken.
1t is plainly evident that it would
be a physical impossibility for the
County Secretary to personally lead
these activities in eight or ten
different towns.
The largest service he can render
is that of close contact with the
Leader, cooperating with him in
