SHALL WE LOSE WITH
LIQUOR OR WIN WITHOUT?
By Allen Rogers, Phi. ID.
Alcoholic beverages must go.

The requirement is clear. AGO.
hol can fill liquor glasses to satisfy
the wilful appetite of thousands OF
Americans living comfortably at
home or il can be transferred to fill
a hundred hospital needs to save the
lives and relieve Nthe sufferings of
other thousands on the battletields.
Alcohol may play its part in the
gayeties of the club. in the hotel,
and in the home-or it may play a
bigger part in the manufacture of
the munitions which alone can
bring us victory. 1t may be trans
ferred into beverages which make
for pleasure, or it may become the
fuel that will serve the nation when
other fuels are lacking.
Alcohol can no longer satisfy the
demands Of the country's indulgence
only. 1t must serve the thousands
OF Industrial purposes that are the
vital needs OF America at war. And
in war time. everything must go

sources, and leads to final victory.
No man would assume that We
should curb our supply of ether in
order to ircr"Hs" orr supply of bev-
prages in time Of peace, aud no man
will say that our soldiers should be
denied the greatest possible protec-
ton because the manufacture OF
their medicines depends rpon the re-
duction of our alcoholic drinks. AS
a local anaesthetic, as a heart and
respiration stimulant, and for many
other purposes, either, so largely
made of alcohol, finds wide use on
the battlefield.
Ether may used in connection
with kerosene to produce a very sat
isfactory substitute for gasoline in
motor cars. II may be employed as
a salvent. as a cleaner solution for
guns, and for many other important
purposes. Its use as such, on a
large scale. is impossible now. be-
cause while denatured alcohol is
free, pure alcohol, used in the man
ufacture of ether. costs $2.40 a gal
lon, of which $500 is tax. Europ-
can countries have removed this tax.
and ether is now made in quantities

Alcohol is OF fundamental neces-
sity as solvent in the manufacture
OF explosives. We must be sure
that the present abnormal demand
is not hampered even remotely.
Consider the comparative impor-
lance of alcohol for beverages and
for explosives in war times.
AS fuel, alcohol finds a great use,
and fuel will be in unnatural de-
mand as the war goes on. For in
ternal combustion engines, for cook
ing stoves, and for numerous other
purposes. alcohol, as n fuel. must
help win the war. Emergencies will
arise, and shortages in other fuels
will appear suddenly. There must
be no curtailment of this source.

others show the power of Jesus over
their intellectual life more than IN
any other way.
Speaking of the latter phase, His
power in life of man, Rev. Shields
cited H. G. Wells, the English author,
as an excellent example of the power
of Jesus over this mans intellectual
life as shown in his works. Other IL
lustrations were presented by the pas
torgin his sermon that gave his inter
pretation of the verse from which he
had taken his text
In closing his sermon, Rev. Shields
brought out the point OF his sermon in
urging his congregation to look into
their own lives-all phases of it-and
see whether Jesus was powerful il
them as He should be.
