o thou invisible spirit of wine, if
thou hast no name to be known by,
let us call thee devil!-Shakspere.
A new calendar on the wall, Ocala,
1916! A red letter year. Let US make
it year for righteousness, law and
order. We can. Now then, we have
made a tremendous stride-all to-
gether!
Woe unto them that are mighty to
drink swine and men of strength to
mingle strong drink. lisa. 5:22.
One of the best resolutions for the
New Year, is to start fair and square
with all men, all obligations well met
(for we can never succeed with new
resolutions until we have fulfilled our
old obligations) and a conscience
void of offense towards God and to-
ward men.

No, prohibition doesn't prohibit"
when merely written into the code of
law or held in sentimental solution.
But it is generally understood that,
in order to do effective cunning, it is
necessary to secure gun. When the
government-municipal, state or nat
tional-makes up its mind to stop
the debauching of its citizenship and
the prostitution of human life, it will
find that the prohibition of the sale
of Intoxicating liquors as beverages,
Is mighty good gun to have handy.
And the execution of the law, pro-
hibiting the sale of intoxicating liq-
uors is just as feasible as that of any
other prohibitory law on the statute,
provided the officers are white and
honest.-Nashville Advocate.
Wanted crusade; something OBJ
jective, something all enlisting, some
thing to set souls on fire with indig-
nation and resolve. That is the per-
petual need of any organization with
the breath of true and enduring life
in it.
President Garfield Evans of the
Florida Epworth League writes: "It
is a source of much qualification to
know that the county of Marion is
dry" And he spells dry with three
big red letters.
The Florida conference report or
temperance Eat Tampa) this month
was an excellent one. In it was this
resolution: "That we commend the
arduous labors of the Woman's Chris
tan Union in their work for the com
plete elimination fthe liquor traffic
and we pledge them Cur cooperation
| by opening to them our houses o.
worship and IL every other possibl,
way"
Hon. w. H. Malone of Key West
P. G. NJ. of the I. o. o. F. of Florida

ing hopes that Monroe county vii
soon line up with the other dry coun
