Law Offers No Relief.
consequently. the Salvation Army
Sanatorium offers facilities supplied by
no other institution in the city. Its
services will be entirely gratuitous,
except for the actual cost of the drugs
used in the treatment. The wards and
private rooms are fully equipped for
the scientific treatment of drug-habit
cases The environment at the farm
is conducive to rapid recovery for the
most obstinate cases of the drug habit

Neither has the law provided for any

raised by doubts and uncertainties in
regard to the discussions and decisions
of ancient councils. They demand prac-
tical work. The cry OF heresy Is fast
losing its force. The liberality of our
great State educational institutions has
broken the spell and the world has made
more progress since their establishment
than in centuries before. The study of
nature and God has taken the place of
the ancient languages and the old myth
ologies. The honest man will not pre-
tend to believe that for which he has no
evidence.
Our churches are opened a few
hours each week; then the key is turn
ed and sacred silence fills the house. I
believe there Is no other place in the
whole universe where God may not be
opened not merely for the prayer
meeting where God Is urged to be good
and to grant special favors to His
people who but believe for discussing
questions relating to morality. health

OF society. for reading room. bowling

lures by outside and home talent. It
will be q healthier place for young
and old to meet and associate with
each other than the saloon and dane
ing hall.
In every town there is work for
Christians vastly more important than
that of trying to maintain creeds and
dogmas and ancient myths which God
cannot look upon with favor. Other
charitable institutions and new faiths
are springing UP to do this work. In
a free country like this. doubt IL an
institution should be allowed to exist
which fixes a system of belief and fur
nishes the unbeliever with all the
power that ecclesiastical bodies have
known how to WELD. These beliefs
are in direct opposition to the teach
fngs OF the schools established and
supported by the people.
They have never corrected a vice In
society. but have taught that God has
nothing to do with nature and would
DO nothing good unless earnestly and
persistently besought In prayer by men.
i may be mistaken, but believe the
time has come for the church to tell
the truth-the whole truth, and nothing
but the truth-and to follow Him who
spake as never man spoke. With the
growth OF Intelligence, all these myths
Will pass away. but the gospel Of Christ
Will abide. Hhe did not tell US how He
was born, but did command us to love
our enemies. Christianity needs nc evil
dences-no help from the miracles and
of the past-it stands upon its
own 2merits. TO stand. the church
We have loved these many years, must
become Christian and rid itself Of all
the pomp and decisions which have char
acterized 1t In the past. It must do It
quickly to meet the demands Of the grow
Ing intelligence Of the people. In many
countries 1t Ii already too late. Must
we be left without religion.

7 want also to take s1eaption to the
statement 20 often found In textbooks to
the eject that the drug addict ID an in
veterate liar. I hays known many men
OF high character who were victims Of
the morphine habit and whose word could
be depended upon. It Is to this class OF
patiosets that the Salvation Army Sana-
torium must concern itself largely. The
majority Of the drug habituss are edu-
Gated men and women who have known
culture and refinement. In my expert
ence have found that they ara intellec-

A Word About
Table Linens

We own our linens at the lowest pos
,ible prices, having made our purchases
from the Great Claflin stock in New
York that failed just before the war
opened in the old world We were
fortunate to be in New York at the
Great Receivers Sale, and we pur-
chased our linens at that time for the
coming year. Since then linens have
been going higher all the time and are
still going to be much higher. Russia
produces more flax than any other ma
ton and Austria second, and all their
supplies are now off the worlds mar
kets, leaving Scotland and Ireland to
furnish the greater portion, while they
have only been supplying about 20 per
cent of the world S supply, With these
facts before us you can readily see the
advantage in buying linens now at the
old price We have fine line to
select from.
