last year. ... T.:
Farmers DISTINGUISHED
The statewide movement in Ohio
was defeated by the same kind of tao
tics which the liquor forces have
adopted in Michigan. Under the pref
ty name of "Ohio Temperance Union"
the booze barons successfully put
across fake "home rule amendment,
thereby defeating prohibition. When
Ohio voted on the state wide dry
amendment. 20 counties gave dry ma
jorities and IS counties gave wet ma
jorities. These figures are now re-
versed by the irony of fate Under
the socalled home rule, IS counties
have no saloons, while 20 counties
have saloons. This situation is due
to the fact that Ohio farmers cannot
vote on village saloons. If Michigan
farmers do not want to be "Ohioized"
and disfranchised, they should vote

cHRlsTs MESSAGE OF FRIEND
SAIp

SHIP
Having loved his own, he loved
them into the end ST. John 13.
Men from ancient times have given
honor TO that which We may term
friendship. We think OF Plato and
Socrates, Of Aristotle and his pupil
Alexander. Of Michael Angelo and his
artist students, but in the whole world
We can find no friendship comparable
TO that between the Christ and His
disciple band Here is one disciple
so inspired by this life OF service that
he died thoussnd miles to the south
Of Palestine in Ahyssania; here is
another so inspired that he served his
life and found his end thousand
miles 10 the north, near the Himala-
vas
That which cndeared the friendship
of Jesus to the disciple was His recog-
milton OF the equality of those whom
he had called and had chosen to share
with Him in dis Divine enterprise
Of winning the world back to the God
Of love. The Christ looked upon man
as His brother. He saw divinity even
in the derelicts of humanity who go TO
unhonored and unnamed graves. TAX
ing man by The hand He pointed up
ward as he created in the breasts
of the rich and the poor alike the hope
of a justification in the Fathers
house and a life lived in the presence
of God. From that hour not village
but possessed a few great souls He
roes and martyrs appeared where for
merly there had been only feelings.
Looking at the early friends of the
Christ, we note how little attention
was paid to earthly rank and position
In society. Jesus is unique in that His
intellect was not influenced by con-
sideratiens related either to the pal
ace or the cottage. He chose His
friends on the basis of manhood, and
looked with equal eye on the rich
mans Palace and the roor mans hut.
Now He is the guest of the rich man,
Simon; now he is the guest of the
poor fisherman, Peter. Now he re-
veals the truth of God to the chief
