Appeal to Missionaries.

Government officials in Madura,
South India, have approached repre-
sentatives of the American board with
the proposition that they take charge
of a criminal settlement to be made
up of the robber caste of Kellars-a
strong, manly people, though lawless
and notorious robbers. There are
nearly 100000 of these Kellars scat
tered through the Madura district.
The American board missionaries have
been so successful among some small
villages of the caste that the govern
ment desires to place the whole res
possibility for them in the hands of
the mission. The authorities offer 10
set aside a large tract Of land, which
would be used in teaching the people
improved agricultural methods and
give a place for schools and for I'M
proved homes. The Indian govern
ment will put up the necessary build
ings and pay all expenses except the
salary of the missionary in charge.

LIQUOR AND HEALTH.

LIQUOR AND HEALTH.
Important evidence with regard to
liquor and the public health was
brought before the committee on the
regulation of the liquor traffic in the
District of Columbia by Prof. Irving
Fisher of Yale university. Professor
Fisher showed
That the lowering of the death rate
in London has been exactly parallel
to the lowered consumption of liquor
in that city.
That the ~lessening of liquor con.
sumption in Sweden has been fol.
lowed by a remarkable lowering OF
its already low death rate.
That alcohol, even in moderate
quantity, actually lessons efficiency,
mental and physical.
That alcohol greatly increases the
susceptibility to disease.
That alcohol is an important cause
of insanity.
That alcohol lessons the average
length of life, as shown by the re.
ports of insurance companies and
friendly societies.
That alcohol increases poverty.
These are the findings of cold
science, not the testimony of anti
alcohol enthusiasts.

DRINK STATISTICS.

Figures showing an increase since
1904 of three gallons per capita in the
nations consumption of alcoholic
drinks need a %footnote.
While the average consumption for
1913 was 22.68, the average in 1907
and again in 1911 was 22.79. This
gives the Prohibitionists a fair argu-
ment for the success of their labors
in at least preventing an increase.
What is more, the actual consumers
of alcohol are estimated to be about
25.5 per cent of the total population,
with an average of SO gallons each.
OF this 25.5 per cent 1t would be inter-
esting to know what proportion do the
heavy drinking.
If hard drinkers drink more but
grow fewer, while the number of those
who drink little or nothing keeps fair
ly steady, totals and averages need
not cause much worry to temperance
workers.-New York World.

swered as instead of the dead. In this
case, the answer was that on the next
day the king and his sons would be
defeated and slain.
The Bible clearly teaches that the
dead are dead and can give no infor-
nation whatever; that they are SIM
ply in q state of suspended animation,
awaiting the better Day when Messiah
will bring the knowledge of Gods glory
to all, as the result of His Ransom
sacrifice at Calvary. The teaching
that the dead are alive ~contradicts
Gods Word, and is the foundation Of
the ~grievous errors which have dis
tressed Christians. None would pray
for the dead or a masses for their
release from Purgatory, if they knew
that their dead were merely sleeping
until the resurrection.
"The Song of the Bow"
When David heard of the defeat, his
sympathy for Saul and Jonathan was
expressed in a beautiful poem q Sam
uel 1:17-2O. The Dead March from
Saul is an attempt to put into modern
music David's Song of the Bow.
In the battle Saul's sons were killed,
including Jonathan. Saul himself was
wounded. Fearing lest the Philistines
would torture him to death, he finally
suicided. A young Amalekite brought
David the news, telling hat he had
dispatched King Saul at the latter's
request-probably, however, manufac-
turing this part to bring honor to him.
self. But David commanded him to
be put to death.
Realizing that the time had come to
move from the Philistine country, Da-
vid inquired of the Lord by the priest
and the ephod. The nswer was that
he should go to Hebron, in Judea.
Thither David and his companions re-
moved with their families; and the
tribe of Judah, his own tribe, prompt
ly recognized him as their king. King
Saul's son Ishbosheth had survived;
and Abner, Saul's chief general, had
him anointed king of Israel.
Finally Abner, angered with King
lshbosheth, proposed to become Da-
vid's vassal. King David appreciated
the proposition. doubtless considering
1t the Lords will. However, the mat
ter did not carry out; for Joab, Da-
vid's nephew, slew Abner deceitfully.
Instead of rejoicing in Abner's death,
the king mourned for him and de-
nounced his nephew's wrong course.
King of All Israel.
Shortly after this, others, misunder-
standing King David, slew King Ish-
bosheth and brought his head to David,

were condemned, and slain. All these
