Aside frtu the wiping OF an eye here
and there In the congregation there were
no outward indications until the end OF
the service Of the extent TO which the
listeners had been moved. After a hymn
DR.. Hills began his sermon much after
his usual manner. He announced his
text as Mark xii. 81, "Aud the Com
mon People Heard Hin Gladly and
said that he wished TO speak Of the
fascination OF Christ for the common
man" This theme, ii was learned, he
chose shortly before entering the pulpit.
instead of the more social and philu-
sophical inquiry which the newspapers
had announced
In the first half Of his sermon Or.
Hills contrasted the idea Of God pos
sessed by primitive man and that which
Christ brought to the world. God for
the savage, he said, was something to
fear, but when Christ came the bats
OF fear fled to their hiding places
The last half Of the sermon was Of
q nature to stir the soul. No one who
heard It doubted that the preacher. hav-
ing once admitted publicly his passion
for fame and wealth and its conse-
auences. intended his closing words to
point a lesson to the younger generation.
Most striking Of all the words OF the
sermon were these curt, sharply uttered
phrases directed to the young man who
has met disaster: Young man. play
your game. Ask no sympathy. Keep
your face TO the 'front.'. Blame no one
else. Play "A mans part. Keep your lips
still and smile
The depths of the preachers feeling
were indicated by words like these taken
from his
''The day sometimes comes when We
praise God for the thing which breaks
our heart-we know that all is Tor the
best. For the mar who has stumbled,
who has lived below his ideals. as !
have lived and YOU have lived, there is
always left the mercy OF God.
The great test of a philosophy is how
u treats the fact OF sin. Gladstone said,
our people are beginning to think that
there Is nothing in sin and to cease 10
worry about it. There is the tender
beauty OF the rose, the sweet song Of
the lark, the celestial music Of spheres.
yet we have pauics In finance, homes
that are like unto he'll. and We see

One of the developments in the nationwide

in opinion that has arisen what should constitute
the unit of whether it best to leave the
question to townships and municipalities making it
strictly local problem whether the right to vote out
the saloon should be granted the people of county
or state
If we view the drink question one solely OF per-
sona privilege then those who claim that the right to
vote upon should be confined to the municipality or
the township would have the best of the argu
But if regard it as question OF dealing
with the organized liquor traffic and take into &C
count the power of the liquor interests in overriding
local restrictions must agree with those who hold
that only the county and state authorities deal et-
fectively with the problem.
There is another aspect of this question: however,
which is generally overlooked. The final solution of
the liquor problem is largely question Of law en-
orcemen and the enforcement of laws under sys-
tenn of government is left largely to the county. The
states attorney while theoretically he represents the
power of the whole state is really county official,
elected by the county and practically confined in his
jurisdiction within the bounds of the county.
For administrative purposes, the county has al
ways been the unit of government. In England, the
