But what does it actually do?
1t fills the hospitals with sick.
It fills the alnshouses with paupers
It fills the prisons with criminals
1t breaks up thousands of homes
It leads directly or indirectly to the ma
jority of the divorces that are the scandal
of Our country.
1t turns out into the streets thousands
\of little children without father or mother
or guardian to look after their welfare
1t is the hard worked ally of the social
evil, and it does more than anything else
toward the production in our midst of
poverty, degradation, and ruin
During the four dreadful years OF the
great Civil War about 100000 men were
killed in battle by bullets and shells but
alcohol kills 10000 Americans every year,
and hence, as any one can see for himself,
it is just four times as deadly as were the
musketry and artillery fire of the Southern
armies. But the whole story is not told
as yet. Just as in the Civil War there were
heavy death losses-more than those caused
by bullets-so in the war between whisky
and humanity, we must reckon up, in adj
dition to the 10000 actually killed every
year, much larger number who are alco-
holized, stupefed, dulled, and deadened
physically, mentally, and morally by the
moderate drinking insanity.
EVEN IF USED MODERATELY.
ALCOHOLISM. USUALLY IS FATAL.
The 10000 drink enough to kill them
many millions drink enough to fix them
selves so that their lives will be shortened,
and their usefulness impaired while they
live.

DIR. Adam Clarke said:

"Joshua's sun and moon standing still,
have kept me going for nearly three weeks
That one chapter has afforded me more
vexation than anything I have ever met
with. and even now am but about half
satisfied with my own solution of all the
difficulties

around the Earth, and not the earth around

Colonel Robt G. Ingersoll one of the
greatest infdels of his day, said:
"If it shall turn out that Joshua was
superior to La Place, that Moses knew
more about geology than Humboldt, that
Job as scientist was superior to Kep1er,
that Isaiah knew more than Copernicus,
then I will admit that infdelity must be

The evolutionary creed of these gentle
men has been we'll summed up by the
New York Independent, as follows:
Il believe in the chaotic Nebu1a self-evi-
dent Evolver of Heaven and Earth; and in
the differentiation of this original homogen-
Gus mass. It's irst-gotten product which
was self formed into separate worlds, divided
into land and water, self organized plants
and animals, reproduced in like species,
further developed into higher orders, and
finally refined, rationalised, and perfected in
man. He descended from the monkey, as
cended to the Philosopher, and stitch down
in the rites and customs of civilization
under the laws of a developing Sociology.
From thence he shall come again, by the
disintegration of the eliminated Heterogen-
eousness, back into the original honogen-
eousness of chaos.
believe in the wholly impersonal abso-
lutte, the wholly un-Catholic Church, the
disunion of the Saints, the survival of the
httest, the persistence of force, the disper-
sion of the Body, and in Death everlasting

An Honest Confession
By the Late DR.. Woodhouse

Formerly Professor of Astronomy at Cam
bridge
when we consider that the advocates Of
the earth's stationary and central position
can account for, and explain the celestial
phenomena as accurately to their own think
ing as we can our, in addition to which
they have the EVIDENCES OF THEIR
SENSES MD SCRIPTURE, A N
FACTS IN THEIR FAVOR, which we
have not, it is not without show of reason
that they maintain the superiority of their
system. However perfect our theory may
appear in our own estimation, and however
simply and satisfactorily the Newtonian
hypothesis may seem to us to account for
all the celestial phenomena, yet we are COM
PEELED to admit the astounding truth, that, if
our premises be disputed land our facts ckal-
lenged, the whole range of Astronomy
does not contain one proof of its own ac-
curacy.'
The theocrat. [volume] (Zion City [i.e. Zion], Ill.) 1914-1949, 1914-08-15

The Rev John Wesley, in his journal,
wrote:
'sThe more | consider them, the more I
doubt all systems of Astronomy. Why do
Astronomers SO immensely differ, even with
regard to the distance of the sun from the
earth, some affirming it to be only three and
others ninety millions of miles 2"

occurs
1--WE date from the first of January, 1901.
This era is called the Era of Man EN-. to
distinguish it from the theological epoch that
preceded it. In that epoch the earth was
supposed to be fiat, the sun was its attend
ant light revolving about it. Above was
heaven, where God ruled supreme over all
potentates and powers, below was the King
dom of the Devil, He'll. So taught the
Bible Then came the NEW ASTRON-
ONLY. It demonstrated that the earth is a
globe revolving about the sun !; that the stars
are worlds and suns; that there is no up"
and down in space; vanished the old
heaven; vanished the old hell the earth be-
came the home of man. And when the
modera cosmogony came, the Bible and the
Church as infallible oracles had to go, for
they had taught that regarding the universe
