THE PURCHASING
POWER OF GOLD

The annual output of gold from
the mines of the world has been
about $450,OOO,000 for six years.
This, so far, is the maximum of
gold production.
Since 1850, when gold from the
mines and placer diggings of Aus
tralia and California began to ap-
pear in the markets and lifted the
world out of the slough of business
depression, the volume has largely
increased
For several years the annual out
put fell off until twenty-five years
ago the yield was down to 3,00O,-
600, when it was made the sole
monetary standard. Then the pro-
duction of the yellow metal began to
increase until it reached four times
that amount in coined value.
Coincident with the larger pro-
dnctiOn of gold. the prices of COM
modities have increased, and the
amount of money of all kinds has
doubled per capita in the United
States. Improvements in the ma

TEMPERANCE AND MISSIONS

one do one whit less of mission work,
but more of temperance work than
is being done. For, if every Chris
tian would earnestly pray and work
for the cause we would soon have
national prohibition and that would
be great aid in our mission work

The drink traffic is especially the
national sin and the supreme OBJ
stacle to the spread of the gospel.
The cooperation of missionary so
cieties is most vital to success in the
whole field of missions and temper
ance. The United States with each
missionary sent, averages 13,o0c
barrels of rum. A Boston brewery
contracted to supply 100000 gallons
a day to the trade of the Congo.
Bishop Newman writes: THE ship
loads of rum is the despair of the
missionaries .
The northern part of the map of
Africa is white because the Moham-
medan religion protects it's subjects
from rum to some extent. In the
lower quarter, the British have laws
against the selling of rum to natives.
In the Congo region the interna-
tional treaty of 1902 prohibits
natives, but the West coast is one
long bar room with millions of gal
Ions shipped annually by the civil
lied" nations. Truly, Ethiopia
stretches out her hands unto God"
and not in vain. for prohibition is
whitening the map of Africa.
So we see the extreme need of CO.
operation with the temperance work
In most of our missionary societies,
those who are in sympathy with the
w. c. 7. U. work do very little for
ITS furtherance because of being SO
busy with the work of missions But

This is not

bulk of the publicity. This is not
bragging-it is the simple statement
of plain fact, and only the unintel-
ligent or the prejudiced will deny it
In this connection we take the fol-
lowing from the Tarpon Springs
Leader:
1T has been our privilege at va
rious times to read newspapers pub
lished in every section of the United
States, and consciously and uncon-
sciously we are always comparing
them with the newspapers of this
State. Taking them as a whole. we
believe that the newspapers of Flor
ida devote more space to the ad-
vancement and development of their
State than any other State in the
Union. This is not a haphazard
statement, but statement prompt
ed by actual observation and COM
parison.
THE great development that has
come to this State during the past
ten years has been brought about
largely by the newspapers of the
State. The success of the great de-
velopment enterprises has been made
possible in the first place by the ex-
tensive advertising of the State and
by and through the newspapers.
For this service, the newspapers
neither ask nor receive any reward
other than the pleasing conscious
ness of good work well done. The
man who uses the advertising space
of a newspaper in Florida gets di-
rect results from the money which
he invests. and indirectly he gets
great results from the advertising
which the newspaper itself does, and
for which there is no charge.

AS we do not have time to empha-

it to burst into flame of florid rhet-

selfish grouces, who love to hate
their fellow beings and turn their
heads ipersistently away from what
is good in human life and nature.
and can see no beauty in the world
even these must yield little to
the lure of this sparkling autumn
DAY and feel in some measure at leas,
the unaccustomed glow of their bet
ter souls released for time from the
thraldom of the selfish, sordid mo-
tives, the low scheming and mean
little resentments and jealousies
that make the program of their daily
lives
All that is best in human nature
fairly struggles to get to the surface
on such a day as this, and that which
is worst, hating beauty and grace
and all things lovely and of good re-
port, sinks back to the lower lev
els of the man where lies the brute
and all its evil passions. 1t is day
for love and friendship and clean
speech and kind thoughts, and the
man who can't feel it's charm pene-
trating through the thick layers of
his selfishness and strikine Isle

finer nature, is like Ephraim joined
