doned all faith in the Bible as the
Word of God. Yet they are not known

Higher Critics" "Fvolutionists.' With
many the faith in a personal God is
shaking: and they incline to wonder
whether we have not an unintellisent
god-Nature-and whether mankind and
all other intelligences are not merely
evolutionary products.
The cause and foundation of this dis
astrous condition is not far off. The
absurdities of the creeds formulated
during the Dark Ages are so great that
intelligent people can no longer accept
them. We have made the mistake of
s%upposing that these absurdities are
based upon the Scriptures and well
supported thereby. The truth is that
the creeds contradict not only each
other. but the Bible. To learn this. to
believe this. signifies a return to Bible
study with the colored Spectacles of
our fathers removed and with I'll
hearts uplifted to God that He may
give us the light promised to His faith
full people in the end of the Gospel Age.

PRACTICE.

The remarkable change in the at
titude of the medical profession to-
ward the use of alcohol In the treat
ment of disease is shown by the rec
ords of the Cincinnati hospital, an in
stitution among the greatest of its
class in the world and located in one
of the whisky centers of the United
States. For the year 1914 only seven
pints of intoxicants were used for its
patients for the entire twelve months,
while during six months of 1898, al
though the capacity of the hospital
was considerably less, the records
show the use of more than seventeen
hundred pints of whisky, beer. wine
and gin.

A DISEASE.

Families that serve wine at meals
are doing the greatest injustice to
their children, for instead of allowing
them to drink anything but nonintoxi-
eating drinks they are starting that
progressive disease that may end in
their ultimate death or disgrace. To
see a beautiful young girl drink q
cocktail or even a glass of sherry
offends health aristocrats, for they
know that poison is contained in every
drop. The misfortune of all poison
taking lies not only in the always ad-
vancing appetite but in the always
receding will.-Lillian Russell.

ALCOHOLIC HARD TO HANDLE,

The alcoholic always does badly I'M
der surgery. In the first place it takes
a great deal more a%nesthetic to get
him ready for the operation, and that
adds to his risk. In the second place,
he is much more likely to have dis
eased kidneys and liver, and that adds
yet more to his risk, and thirdly, the
risk Of insanity and of pneumonia
after an operation is greater. The abb

IN WHISKY.

The following figures II from the
Wall Street Journal: Production of
whisky in Kentucky in January was
1,980,000 gallons, against 6,102,452 gal
Ions in January, 1914; production in
Pennsylvania was 1,073,608 gallons in
January, against ~1,552,445 a year ago,
and in Maryland 5O6,919 gallons,
against 918,582. Whisky bottled in
bond in January was 691,508 gallons,
as compared with 928,1S7 in January,
1914. The Kentucky decrease for one
month was Sc 2-3 per cent, the Penn
sylvania decrease practically 80 pei
cent and the Maryland dealers oyer 40
per cent.

DRUNKENNESS AND DIVORCE.

A home a day, it is stated, was
wrecked by divorce last year in Chi
cago. A Chicago newspaper, investi-
eating as to what extent alcohol is
responsible, gives a summary of its
findings. Habitual drunkenness, it
says, is the charge in 152 of these di-
vorce cases. To this charge others
were added in 124 cases. In SO Of
these lin which the charge "a drunk
enness and cruelty, women were the
compliments. These two charges ap-
pear together more frequently than
any other one combination of charges
on which divorces were granted. The
cases tabulated were tried before
judges of the superior court. Others
which came before the circuit court
were not tabulated.

LIQUOR AS HOME wREckER.

The ~searchIight is being thrown up
on the alcoholic question from every
angle of vision. Chicago Herald has
investigated from the matrimonial
angle. To what extent is alcohol re
sponsible for the wrecking of houses
by divorce? Answering this question
for Chicago-which city, it is said
had a divorce a day last year-the
Herald gave a tabulated report. Its
findings show among other things that
the two charges of habitual drunken
ness and cruelty are more frequent in
divorce cases than any other one com.
bination of charges.

RAILROADS AND RUM.

it carried last year on its $4,000 miles

not one of these passengers was
killed in a train accident. THAT"

mightiest noughts, that the year has

Butler (Pa.) Citizen. writes: There
is no doubt whatever that this condi-
tion was rendered possible only by the
company insisting on strict sobriety
on the part of it's employees. With
drunken engineers, drunken dispatch
ers, and drunken conductors, accidents
and deaths would have been common.
Drinking on the part of employees
used to cost their employers a lot of
money n way or another. But now.

continued to be d.
lapidated. and said to the priests, why
repair We not the breaches of the Tenn
ple?" Their reply is not given; but
the royal mandate was, Take no more
money from your acquaintances.' The
king passed over the matter as lightly
and ~courteously as possible. without
charging the priests with embezzlement
or neglect.
A new procedure was TO have an es-
pecially prepared money-chest inside
the Temple Court, convenient to the
w%orshipers who passed in and OUT, and
under the care of the priest who serv-
ed as d~oorkeeper. This method proved
successful. The money speedily accu-
INFLATED. Ere long there was a sufh-
cheney to make the repairs and more.
Further donations for this purpose
were refused. The Temple was put
into good order. and a general bless
ing followed the experience.
There is a lesson in this matter for
us. People like to see results. They
wish to know that monies donated for
benevolent purposes are not all absorb
ed for Office expenses. Voluntary Of
ferings have the approval Of both God
and men, rather than offerings that are
im~portuned. coaxed. begged, wheedled
from saints and sinners. Whoever
gives to the Lords Cause is advan-
tagged thereby. He not only forwards
a benevolent Cause. but cultivates gen.
crosby in his own heart. 1T is more
blessed to give than to receive"-where
the giving is voluntary.
Church begging is undoubtedly do
ing great harm. The remark has been
made that in some churches the chief
item of religion is begging for money.
The proper thought Seems to be what
the Scriptures inculcate; namely. that
each Christian give according to his
ability and interest in the work. and
that non-worshipers should not be ex-
pected to give nor requested to do so.
Who does not know that a large pro-
portion of the money collected for
church purposes is unwillingly given
by people who are not only not direct
~ interested in the projects. but some
times even opposed thereto. Thus
Protestant business men often give to
Catholic charities rather than offend
good customers. Likewise Catholic
business men donate to Protestant en-
terprises with which they have no SYM
pathy.-1 Corinthians 1872.
