DRINKERS, DEATH RATE HIGH.

Startling evidence of the effect Of
alcohol on the moderate drinkers is
offered by the Life Extension insti-
tute. The bulletin issued to its MEM
bers shows that in one Canadian and
three British life insurance companies
the mortality among so-called moder-
ate drinkers, accepted as temperate
and healthy risks, exceeded the death
rate among the abstainers by rs, 81
So and A per cent, respectively.
New data was recently compiled by
forty-three American life insurance
companies, covering a period of TWEEN
ty-five years, with the following re-
suits: Steady moderate drinkers, ac-
cepted as standard risks, death rate Sc
per cent above the average. Former
drinkers admitting past excesses),
death rate so per cent above the aver
age. Very moderate drinkers, Is per
cent above the average.
Experimental laboratory work.
says the board OF scientific authorities,
has kept pace with statistical investi-
cation, and the knowledge gained from
the laboratory. not only in experiments
on animals, but on man himself, shows
that higher death rate among alco'
hol users is what we would naturally
expect to find in the light Of what we
know regarding its effects on the
body"

ATTITUDE OF CATHOLIC CHURCH.

"All the great Catholic societies re-
fuse membership to those engaged In
the liquor business" says Mr.. John F.
Cunneen, prominent Catholic and la
Dor leader. 'In Maine the Catholics
have a majority of the church mem
bership, and you know how Maine
stands on the liquor question. In
Cambridge, Mass. the Catholic church
membership equals II per cent of the
total church membership, and for 2S
years Cambridge has outlawed the sa-
loon. While the Catholic may vote
as he pleases upon the saloon ques-
tion, the church gives him no argu-
ment in favor of the saloon. On the
contrary, all the arguments are against

The liquor interests have unwilling
ly given prohibition in West Virginia
much valuable publicity. Their frantic
efforts to prove that a deficit in the
state treasury is due to the loss OF
liquor revenue has called forth from
loyal citizens of the little mountain
state" strong testimonials on the sub
ject. In the light OF the moral, social
and economic benefits derived from
the prohibitory law, testified to by
men of every class. deficiency Of a
few thousand dollars seems of com
paratively little Importance.
AS a matter OF fact the loss OF the
100000 year in revenue to West
Virginia as result of the adoption Of
the constitutional prohibition amend
ment does not impose upon the indi-
vidual taxpayer any burden worth con-
sidering. In letter written by the
state auditor, which has recently been
made public, he shows that nve cents
additional state taxes on the hundred
dollar valuation will take care Of the
money loss on liquor licenses. This
would cost man whose property was
assessed at $1,000, fifty cents; IL he
has $4,000 worth, he would have to
pay one dollar, and If he had 100000,
he would be obliged to expend five
dollars. So much for the enormous
load Of taxation being thrust upon the
property owners of the state because
of prohibition! The payment of such
insignificant amounts would certainly
appeal to level.headed business man
as a mighty good investment.

the right objective, and third, 1t does
not represent the right alignment of
the nations.
The battle OF Armageddon will not
be fought In Europe, but in Asia.
''Har-Magedon," as the revised YER
sion translates II, is a mountain ris-
ing up out OF the plain of Esdraelon
in northern Palestine. Great and de-
cisive battles have been fought there
by the Hebrews, the Egyptians, the
Saracens, and the crusaders. and
here the kings OF the prophetic earth
are to be gathered, under the infu-
ence of demons working miracles, for
that battle of the great day of the
Lord God Almighty.
The object of this battle will be the
capture of Jerusalem, when II shall
again be restored to the Jews prior to
the second advent of the Messiah on
their behalf; and the nations of the
prophetic earth engaged in ii will
be those of the Roman empire fed
Grated again under secular despot
whom many associate with the anti
christ. Those nations do not include
Russia, nor do they include Germany
or Austria-Hungary, except in part,
so that new alignment of the nations
seems necessary before that battle.
How far the present European war
may contribute to that now align
ment one cannot say, but so far as it
does so, II may be called a prepara.
tion for the battle OF Armageddon.
The End Of the World.
2. That this war cannot mean
that we are near the end of the world
is indicated in another way. For ex.
ample, all Bible scholars are agreed
that a long period of peace and right
eousness is to prevail over the earth
before the end comes. From a pass
age in Revelation 20. 1t is gathered
that 1t will last thousand years
from which II takes the name mil
lennium. This period not having be-
gun as yet, II is clear the end OF
lilt NOIlu 10 at ltdbl ltOVO Htdl away
But we may be near the end of the
age, which is different matter
There have been several ages in the
history of the race in which God has
dealt with his people in different
ways; each of these ages ended in a
catastrophe. That of Eden ended
in the expulsion from the garden
That following II ended in the food
The Mosaic age ended in the crucifix
ion of our Lord and the dispersion Of
the Jews among the Gentle nations
where they are today; and it seems
to be the teaching OF the Scriptures
that the same will be true of the age
in which we live. The catastrophe
impending is not one which affect:
the true church which is the body o.
Christ, but the protesting church, ant
the nations which, having form o.
godliness are denying the power there

tastrophe by being caught up to NEE

ropean war is so frightful a fore

Second Coming Of Christ.

3. The second coming OF Christ
means, of course, his per7onal in the
sense of visible reappear.ng, and as
stated before, so far as the church is
concerned the event may be very far.
II is after the church l. caught up to
meet him in the air that the events
transpire on earth which focus in the
battle of Armageddon. His coming to
the earth means the destruction OF
the nations thus headed up in the anti
christ, not in the sense that all their
inhabitants are slain, but that as ma
tions they cease to exist.
The certainty and the imminence OF
our Lords return is mighty motive
for repentance and faith in his name,
and in the case OF those of us who are
saved through faith t speaks with
equal potency of the necessity for a
holy life.
To quote the language of another
suppose this titanic conflict among
the nations were the very last event
to occur prior to the Lords coming
for his people to take them out OF
such scene, does II not give intense
significance to the words of Paul in
the thirteenth chapter of his epistle
to the Romans where he says: "And
that, knowing the time, that now it is
high time TO awake out of sleep: fol
now is our salvation nearer than
when we believed. The night is faI
spent the day is at hand: let us there
fore cast off tho works of darkness
and let us put on the armor of light

chambering and wantonness. not IN
strife and envying. But put ye OF

provision for the flesh, to fulfill the
lusts thereof"

GREAT BRITAIN PROTESTED
AGAINST COTTON CONTRABAND
London Weekly Says England Want
ed Free Cotton in Russo
Japanese War.

Commenting upon the demand Of
newspapers and publicists that cotton
shall be made absolute contraband
regardless of the effect on neutral
nations, the London Weekly Nation
points out Great Britain protested
against cotton being declared contra
band during the Russo-Japanese war
and that is the declaration OF Lon
don the British representatives in
sisted upon having cotton placed on
the free list.
"The more abrogation Of this doc
ument,' continues the paper,
would not satisfy neutrals OF such
interests as those Of the American
cotton states which wish to know
whether Britain's command OF the
seas is to Justify her in making or In
making international law as it suits
her convenience Of the moment"
The Nation considers, however,
that IL Germany diverted all cotton
supplied for the manufacture OF war
munitions a new situation would have
arisen, and the declaration OF Lon
don as absolute contraand could be
justified before the world but even
then the treatment OF cotton destin-
ed for neutral states would remain 20
