A MAYORS TESTIMONY.

Mayor James R. Hanna of Des
Moines, Ia, gives his personal testi-
mony to the advantages of prohibition
as follows:
1.-THE saloons were closed on the
18th of February. All the desirable
locations were picked up by other
businesses within the next few weeks
following. A few out-of-the-way loca-
tons are still can
81 cannot see that there is any az
preciable effect because of throwing
men out of employment and certainly
no increase in demands for<charity. In
fact, it is exactly the other way. The
men who lost employment have gone
into other lines. Some of them have
followed up their former calling in
other cities, but the men who were
spending in the saloons the money
which their families needed are now
buying groceries and shoes instead.
The consequence is a very much bet
ter one in every way. In the first
place their families are not now in
want and in the second place, they
necessities. This is making collec-
lions n%oticeably better in other lines,
so our merchants report.
Our experience proves that a de-
cisive policy can handle the bootleg
ging very effectually. There will be
some Illicit sales, to be sure, but they
can be reduced to a very small mini.

ed, considering the interests of the
Lords cause, and ignoring self-wili
and pride. They should not look mere
ly at their own interests, but also upon
those of o~thers-the rights of others,
their ability. This. the Apostle assures
us, is a mark OF the Holy Spirit.
This mind, this disposition, was full,
exemplified in Jesus. declares st. Paul.
In His prehuman condition. when in a
form of God. a spirit being, Jesus was
humble. He did not mediate a usurpa
ton of Divine authority to eXalt Him
self. as did Satan. He had no thought
of robbing the Divine glory and honor
by putting Himself upon an equalit'
with God the Father. On the contra
ry, He had the same spirit then as
afterwards, when He said, Not Ny
will, but Thine. be done; and again
my Father is greater than ALL
Luke 22:42: John 1929; 14:2S.
The Master always had this DISPOSE
ton of reverence for the Father and
Of full confidence in Him. Hence.
when the time came for the Father
to send a Savior into the world, first
to redeem it and later III to become
its King and Deliverer. the proposal to
render this great service TO God and
to men was proffered to the Logos-
''the Only Begotten of the Father
who promptly accepted it. This in
volved a great humiliation-a leaving
of the dignity Of the chiefest place on
the spirit plane to become a human
being, the Man Christ Jesus"-not a
sinful man. but a perfect one in the
image of God, as was Adam originally
John ia: 1 Timothy %; Heb. 7:26.
"The Man Christ Jesus"
After Jesus by a change of nature
found Himself a man amongst men.
He still preserved the same loyalty 10
the Father. In all His earthly eX-
periences the Master was faithful. 10y
al to God, loyal to His Covenant. loyal
to the principles of righteousness. OF
Him it is written, Thou hast loved
righteousness and hated iniquity; there
fore God, even Thy God. hath anointed
Thee with the oil of gladness above
Thy fellows" psalm 1910 The oil
of gladness represented our Lords holy
joy which sustained Him during this
period when He made Himself of no
reputation and became poor indeed
finally losing even His life-all in 10y
atty to the Fathers will and the Pro
gram marked out in the Bible.
His final cry on Calvary was, 1T is
%inished!' All that the Father had
given Him to do in the way of sacrifice
had been accomplished. Then it was
the Fathers turn to act, to fulfil His
good promises to His faithful Son.

The saloonkeepers of Washington,
D. c., were sorely disappointed, it is
said, because few of the veterans at
tending the Grand Army encampment
spent their money for drinks. Of the
10000 marching only one or two were
seen under the influence" One of
the old soldiers explained it thus:
"The fellows who could drink it or
let it alone are not here-nearly all
of them are in their graves" 1t is
worthy of note that every n of the
12S members of the post at Hagers-
town, Md, is a total abstainer and a
prohibitionist. One of the features
of the parade which evoked much
cheering from the crowds of onlook-
