"The effects OF Intoxicating liquor
In the past were not as fully under:

OF 1t became quite popular because
II aroused a momentary spirit of ella
ton and conviyialiiy. But today, with
its hundreds of thousands of victims
annually, and with the $4,000, 000, 900,
taken in many cases from the pockets
OF those who should spend II Tor the
support OF their wives and children,
there Is no longer in these days of
enlightenment and definite informa-
ton on the curse Of the liquor traffic,
any reason for its continuance. =
I year or two ago the liquor inter-
ests and breweries were telling the
farmer that they were his best Gus,
toners for grain. Now that the food
commissions are talking OF shutting

and the still, they come out with the
statement that they use only one per
cent OF the grain crop Of the United
States for their business. It makes
quite lot OF difference which leg

BEYOND THE CONFLICT

The sea hath spoken, even the
strength of the sea "-Isai 23:4.
The week recalls the vision Of John
Milton-the vision of mighty man
arousing himself from slumber. Mil
lions of our country's greatest asset
her young men-haVe responded ID
the call of the country Gnd have offer
ed themselves for service at this time
of greatest need. And the response Of
tbs young men at this time is eloquent
with prophecy Of the vast resources OF
this country and Of the tremendous
latent force In the United St2tes-a
force indicative Of fuit preparedness
for the coming conflict. For we must
remember tina: the army which is sent
to the front is represented by vastly
greater army at home-an army OF
men and women working to support
those on the firing tine through rifles,
shells, clothing, shoes. tents blankets,
foods. But this vast army OF willing
workers and warriors enters not on a
conflict with peoples at home.
Today we find curse Ives in a very
true sense a subject people, subject to
the strength of the 3ea Food we have
and grain and iron anC steel and sol
diers. The steel output Of the United
States Steel Corporation alone is equal
to the entire outpur Of Germany. But
with our growth in national resources
We have failed to keep up a cores
ponding development on the sea-. For
yeArs we have depended on the ships
of England, Germany, Holland, France,
Norway, Sweden and Japan, until
now, when suddenly confronted with d
crisis, our manufacturers and farmers
find themselves impotent because they
have failed to hear the voice of the
sea.
1t is good to read how vast are the
means taken to remedy this weakness.
Ships are to be built, not single units,
but ships by the hundreds, that our
allies might not suffer for food and
munitions. The spirit of our fathers
has revived Once more are we to be
known as a maritime people. For
years our country has been drained
of billions of dollars paid to foreign
shipowners and sailors, but now with
this action of Congress, the day OF our
emancipation is at hand.

voyage hundreds of years ago for Eng
land to decide that her future was on
the sea. From the little ship which
Sir Francis Drake sailed, England has
steadily advanced. Vast yards hava
been constructed, marvellous ships
have been launched, until today ona
third Of her income is derived directly
or indirectly from the sea. In her OWE
vessels she lis able to export 50 per
cent OF her goods. More than merchant
ships, England developed war vessels
until she became the first naval power
Of the world. With hope that she
might take the supremacy from Eng
land, and with the motto "Gernlany's
Future is Upon the Sea-" we have the
vast educational movement that Ger
many, with immense annual expendi
lures there, based on the hope tina;
Germany would become the great ma
val power of the world. To carry out
her plans we find her commercial
travellers in Egypt, in Mexico, in North
Africa, in Brazil, in China, in Chill, in
the United States, in the isles of the
sea, we have the development Of the
Pan-Germany Empire movement with
the motto, From Hamburg to the
Persian Gulf"
Now here in the United States we
produce 20 per cent more goods than
our people can consume. A market ts
open, but the goods remain in the
warehouse, our industries are threat
ened, the American home is in danger
because the sea is all powerful. An
agricultural era and an industrial era
of necessity must be followed by az
era of shipping. And yet in the face
Of this the American merchant marine
came to its final destruction through
the La Toilette kill which drove all
American ships to the flags of Japan,
China, England, Sweden, anywhere to
find laws that were not destructive to
industry.
We as a nation have been blind to
the vast educational good which come
from following the flag as it enters
the ports of the world. In this country
we seek to portray a true democracy.
We seek to show forth the ideals OF
freedom, we seek to became missiona-
ries Of religion based on the highest
that is in man. We can achieve this
by listening to the voice which speaks
to us. The sea hath spoken, even the

The topic announced for next Wed

thing as God of Love-" Can there be
anything behind these scenes of car

DR.. Williams has chosen for his text
the few simple words God is Love,
spoken, not by a dreamer removed
from the harassing cares Of the world,
but by John. and later echoed by Paul,
the prosecuted, and 1t will be his en-
deavor to show that God, and a God

story Of Parsifal and illustrate it by
some Of the finest musical numbers.

The usual Sunday school picnic on
Kamehameha Day will be omitted : lis
year. A committee of live wires from
the mems class have the picnic in tow
and are planning humdtnger fur the
Fourth of July.
The fellowship lunch which the Up
worth League has been having during
May at $3.50 Sunday evenings for
young folk away, from home has
proved SO popular and helpful that It
will be continued for the present at
least
W. A. Horn last Sunday started a
young mems class in the Sunday
school. Beginning with an attendance
of II, this group is sure to grow un-
der his aggressive leadership. 1t is
the plan to organize as a Baraca class
in "A short time. This Is a group of
young men around 20, and any young
man of that age without Bible class
home is invited to come and join the
new class.

the importation of wine by individuals
Is forbidden.
Brewers Near Disaster 49,.
According to recent dispatches from
Berlin the brewing industry In Ger.
many Is on the verge of disaster. The
central food commission has decided
to further reduce the quantity of grain
allowed for the production Of beers.
Hundreds of breweries have been clos.
ed, and those that are remaining are
threatened by the sameA fate. ~.
England Is also seriously consider.
ing further restrictions OF the liquor
traffic. The London correspondent TO
the New York Times Is informed that
"the prime minister wishes control
after the war so England shall not
relapse into its old drinking habits.
There is rumor that an. effort will
be made to buy UP the entire liquor
trade in, order to eliminate Il, but
elimination is going on rapidly and
the traffic is becoming thin and
feeble"
To Lose 200 Saloons
Two hundred Chicago saloonkeepers
are to close their doors on account
Of the prospects Of war prohibition,
1t is reported. The liquor interests
are greatly troubled and the breweries
in many instances are not putting In
their money to keep licenses from
lapsing.
