Jesus Is Here.

Editor kennebec Journal:
There are few books printed that the
disciples of Jesus have read so thorough
" as Sheldon's In His Steps, or what
Would Jesus Do?" 1t has promoted prac'
teal christianity among Gods people
generally.
l am we'll acquainted with man VINO
has read the book at least % times and he
SAYS that each reading caused nm to
push out into new activities in the Mas
ter's work.
1t is to be regretted that the sequel to
this wonderful book, entitled Jesus Is
Here" is being read by so few OF the
christians who read the first BOOK
Vague indeed is the average disclplc
idea as to how Jesus will be manifested
to the world at His second coming. How
often we hear people say that wnen
Jesus comes this earth will be destroyed
showing how little they know OF the reai
purpose of the Masters coming. Inc
reading Of Sheldon's Jesus is Here WIN
give them a sane conception of the mani
festation of, the Son of God. and at the
same time cause them to think OF Jesus
as a near personal friend, instead OF
far away God.
No one can really enjoy Gods service
until they know Jesus as "A frena that
sticketh closer than a brother.

This report was sent back from the
White House with orders to revise it
materially. 1t is the opinion of many
officers that it was ordered revised. not
in the interest of the country. but in
the interest of the Democratic party.
The head of one of the most impor
tant departments in the army is said
to have been asked his opinion of the
continental army scheme and the pos
sibility Of obtaining voluntary enlist

Officers of the general staff, as well

Visions" said one expert on military
affairs" ARE just as much in the dark
as the people concerning the plans of
the Administration to build up its
great continental army. How are the
men to be recruited? BY counties. by
states, by Congressional districts? Who
is to pay for their equipment? Are
they, or is the national Government?
Who will pay them for the two
months time they put in in camp each
year? 1t is seriously doubted around
the War Department that 100000 men
in this country can afford to give up
eight weeks each year for military
training without. pay unless the Gov
eminent compels them to do SO by
law.
1T strikes me. and it strikes many
of my friends. that this continental
army may turn out to be one of the
greatest political machines in the
world. If it proves failure without
pay, the alternative is success with
pay. Can't you imagine Congressman
out getting recruits in their districts"
Why. each Congressman could guaran-
tee each voter so many weeks of camp
life each year at SO much pay. A
fine idea. isn't it?
Il shall be extremely interested il,
what the ADMINISTRATION has to say as
to methods for raising this continental

A Miracle Of the Century

Some of the things that prohibition
Christian Herald of last week. 1t
offers evidence that the whole world
is awaking TO the folly of booze slop,
and the crime of government partici-
patton in the traffic Here are some
Of the facts:
For the first time in many years the
government statistics show a reduced
consumption of both fermented and
spirituous liquors of 200,000.000 gall
Ions of beer and 100000 gallons Of
distilled spirits. This report means
that one billion five hundred million
less glasses of beer and five hundred
million less glasses Of spirituous
liquor were consumed than the year
before. The saving in this country
alone, in one year, was at least $780,
100000.
Sweden, a pioneer in temperance re-
form, though neutral, adopted the
Stockholm system of excise as a
war measure. 1t allows every citizen
in good standing to buy one litre and
no more of spirituous liquor every five
days. The system has extended to 81
of the 100 districts, and by govern
ment act is to become the law for all
Sweden, January I, 1916 The results
of the system are remarkable. In 1914
the total amount of liquors consumed
was only 2,979.6S2 litres as compared
with over 5000 900 litres the year be-
fore. The decrease in 1915 has been
even more marked. This system is a
long step toward national prohibition.
The moral miracle of the century is
the fight the nations of Europe are
making on alcohol as a war measure.
Do the ages present a much more
sublime picture than that of the poor
peasant of Russia who had grown to
he proprietor, who at the open COT
fin Of the wife of one of his tenants
slain by rum took a vow before God
To spend his life fighting vodka. and
so impressed that hatred on 115,000.000
of his countrymen that it was trans
lated into a law Of the empire?
He persuaded the Car to prohibit
vodka during the mobilization of
forces. Prohibition during mobiliza-

tended till the close of the war. This
head of Russian finance. in an inter-
view recently. said that prohibition
was success beyond expectation;
that the efficiency of the peasantry
had been increased one-third: that
vice and crime had decreased in
marked degree, and that the deposits
in the savings bank had increased
