"The Days of June. /"

The following lines were written
by Rev. w. H. Watson, promi.
nent English Wesleyan missionary to
China, just after reading The Days
of june by Miss Mary Cutler
White.
Every bomessin Edge6eld county
ought to have copy of this charm
ing story of Christian life. Send
SO cents TO Smith and Lamar, Rich
mond, Va. for a copy.
Oh glorious record of q blameless life,
of high resolve and sweet devotion
rare,
How hast thou thrilled me, sounding
for the strife,
Thy loudest tocsin, bid mine heart pre-
pare,
Like this brave soul, for noblest deeds
of love,
Or swift translation to the Home
above.
A simple life, whose sun went down st
noon,
Four glorious summers in Gods har-
vest field,
Yet that seed immortal sown so soon,
Which, on and on, shall widening hal-
vests yield,
So soon her 1eer those. .glittering heights
had trod
Where climb the feet of all the hosts
of God.
Upward to Christ through all her
frightening way,
Faithful to him with love which could
not tire,
She lived and labored through life's
day;
Cast o'er this earth one gleam of
heavenly fire,
Nor was her prayer in mortal pain de-
MED,
.'By Life and Death her Lord was
glorifed:" 9

! Can Prohibition Prohibit?

Absolute prohibition of the liquor
traffic is as attainable as absolute
prohibition of murder or larceny.
We do not claim that Immediately
upon tue inauguration of prohibition
the state will be as freq of liquor as
Sahara 81 OF water, but a tremen-
dLols reduction will taxa place inn
Inadi aEeSy. ana within ten years the;
a gaid not t only Be almost
free of liquor, but more prosperous
and vigorous.
Some may say virtuously that l
would vote for prohibition if it
would prohibit. By that is meant
that prohibition must instantly do
for liquor what laws against murder
Glo not accomplish in hibiting
murder. The enforcement of prohi-
bition is dependent largely upon the
honesty of purpose of our officers.
We do not say that it is dependent
upon their attitude because it is
time an officer should be required
to enforce the laws because they are
laws, not because he approves of
them. 1t is not to be supposed that
a magistrate or police officer shall
be allowed to determine what laws
shall be enforced.
II may be that the time will come
when law enforcement will be proof
of peoples capacity for self-gnv-
ernment. That is not true now, or
our state should be placed in the
hands of receiver.
We think it we'll for our people
to ponder wnat it means when they
talk about Prohibition, if it will
prohibit" Beneath that would seem
to be too much resignation to in
difference on the part of the people
and breach Of faith on the part of
officers.
Prohibition if it will prohibit,
indeed! Why not the same test to
selling seed cotton without Ii
cense? Or, say, laws against house,
breaking, or arson? Do they ab.
solutely prohibit? But we would
not repeal the laws.
Let us have the law and be men
enough to enforce our laws.-Man
ming Herald.
