TEMPERANCE COMING.


In her stirring address before the
National w. c. T. U. convention at
Asbury Park, N. j., and later speaking
before the house judiciary committee
in Washington, Mrs. Mary Harris Ar
NOR, the Georgia cyclone" gave some
of the reasons why we may look for
'saloonless nation in 1920" We
quote:
Il believe that Jesus Christ meant
what he said and said what he meant
when he declared, All power is given
unto me in heaven and in EARTH and
believe that the God who made the
sun stand still on Gideon, and the
moon on Ajalon, at the cry of his
fighting, praying, believing servant,
Joshua, is perfectly able to smash the
liquor traffic into everlasting smither-
Gems, whenever we get ready.
The old order changes, giving
place to new, and God fulfills himself
in many ways He has promised the
destruction of the liquor traffic in these
words, Every tree that bringeth not
forth good fruit is hewn down and
cast into the fire. Certainly no man
would say that the liquor traffic brings
forth good fruit; hence the liquor
traffic must go.
"One of the ways in which God is
| fulfilling this promise is through his
| eternal truth in science. King Alec
hol has marched down the ages for
these thousands Of years, conquering
and to conquer, until the centuries.
| sob with a ceaseless sorrow, but at
last science has burst the blood-rust-
| ed chain that bound her for a thou
sand years, has seized the shining two
edged sword of Gods eternal truth,
and challenges the monster to mortal
| combat. To doubt the issue is to doubt
the sanity of the human race and the
power of the everlasting God.
Il believe we shall have saloonless
| nation in 1925 because public senti-
ment is opposed to the liquor traffic.
! The persistent education along scien-
tific temperance lines, instituted by
the WCman's Christian Temperance
union years ago. is bearing fruit today
in a mighty army of young men and
young women in the various religious
and philanthropic organizations in
our schools and colleges, and even in
the halls of congress.
1.-THE liquor traffic is doomed TO
speedy destruction because it is OPP
posed to common sense. Hasn't it al
WAYS been opposed to common sense?
Yes, but people have not been eXer-
cising their common sense in this di-
rectioD until comparatively recent
years, for two reasons: First, be-
cause Gods eternal truth in science
had not been revealed on this CUES
ton as it is today; second, the world
is better today than ever before, and
the public mind is obsessed with the
idea of the preservation and prolonga-
ton of human life. Eugenics is the
most popular fad of the day. City,
state, and national governments are
looking after the health of the people
as never before. They swat the fly
they go on q still hunt for the mos
quito they beard the hookworm in his
den, and the germs must fly for their
lives The human race has learned
that no man Iiveth to himself and no
man dieth to himself, and reforma.
ton is the watchword of the hour;
hence, men are training their common
sense on this question, and the liquor
traffic must 60"

 will you help the dependent little chill dren, whose only home Is the Mercy Home. this Thanksgiving time?
 "A crowded house, scanty treasury, great increase in the cost of living that is the situation.
 For years Thanksgiving has been the only holiday in the year when the Mercy Home makes a special appeal. It seems most suitable on the day when in private homes the families gather that something be done for those who have not the com forts of home of their own.
