My Dear Governor:
Information has come to this Office
that large quantities of alcoholic liq-
uors, are, by virtue of local laws, be-
ing confiscated and destroyed by the
state authorities in several of the
states. 1t now appears that this liq-
uor can be redistilled and the pure
alcohol in it thus made available for
military use. The advantage Of con-
serving such liquor for such use by
the federal government, if it can
feasibly be done, are of course, OBJ
vious
wish to inquire, therefore,
whether any such liquors are in the
possession af the authorities of your
state or whether any such come in
due course Of law to the possession
Of such authorities for confiscation;
and, if SO, to inquire further whether
you and the authorities of your state
are in position to cooperate with
the war department with view
to turning SUCH liquors over to this
department for redistillation for mill
tary use.
Very truly yours,
H. P. MCCAIN,
The Adjutant General.
The governor has submitted this
to all the sheriffs Of the state in the
following letter:
above is letter from the adjutant
general of the United States in regard
to confiscated liquors in the hands OF
sheriffs or local authorities in the diff
ferent states. You can see that he
desires that no more of this liquor
either malt or, vinous shall be de
stroyed according to the local laws
of the state of Florida but that suct
liquors shall be held subject to his
department for redistillation for mil
itary use. I, therefore, call the at
tention of all sheriffs and county of
ficers VINO may have custody of an!
of these wines, whiskies, beers, malts
and vinous beverages which they hav,
confiscated from people who have vi
olated the laws of Florida under tn,
prohibition laws now on the statut
book to communicate with the adju
tant general at once end tell him hov
much Of the various kinds of liquor
they have on hand and hold them
selves ready to ship to his department
all these liquors for military use for
redistillation into alcohol. Give this
your immediate and careful attention

this year. God knows it. Yet
he fingers. No eye pities. No ear
hears. No arm is outstretched. The
intieXible .'If' of the ruined home in
Bethany asserts itself in PROSTATE
homes in every land. The friendship
of God is in question, if not his very
being. If God is. if he has concern
for his creatures how can these things
be? The resurrection of LaZ-
arus is an answer. The delay of Je-
sus in the particular instance is the
counterpart to His Fathers in the
general. Although absent and uncom-
municative, Jesus thoughts were upon
the sufferers. His purpose to relieve
them never wavered. So His Fathers
thoughts and purposes are upon the
grief-stricken to-day. Lazarus resur-
rection is token and pledge of univer-
sal restoration. At the mouth of the
tomb the resurrection is as real and
present as Jesus own person. Il am
the Resurrection" I'm ME death
lives!" And this is a present tense af-
fair. Not in some vague, far-off resur-
rection day, but here and now is I'm
mortal Life which death cannot even
interrupt. Life, in spite of all appear
ances to the contrary, has divine sur
viVal and persistence. Just as Lazarus
stood out radiant and unspotted from
the grave, so shall all the loved and
seemingly lost, be recovered. This
blissful, assuaging conclusion is not
reached by any studied argument.
however. 1t cannot be. 1t is datum
of consciousness only, believable
though unprovable. Lazarus is the
working model of it,
No longer must the mourners weep,
Nor call departed Christians dead,
For death is hallowed into sleep,
And every grave becomes a bed.

OUR LILIES BLUSH IN BLOOD
When He Heard 3 - He Abode Two DAYS in the
Same Place Where He Was; John XI-6

Mere absence in time of trouble
has the air of treachery. 1t was a
blow to the faith of the sisters, Mar
tha and Mary. that Jesus thus delayed
His coming. But the effect went deep
er than to shake confidence in the sim
cerity of friendship. 1t was like to
unsettle reliance on Jesus as credi-
BILE teacher. In the confusion Incl
dent to grief they might not be able
to define their feelings, but the un-
analyzed total made Il weight insup-
portable. The stubborn "If' kept as
sertins ITSELF" If Jesus loved us,
IF ne had been here" If he had
come when called.H
1T was now the fatal fourth day
in which, according to common no.
ton the. spirit still lingering near sees
signs of decay and takes its final flight.
All is now over. The loss is irrepar-
able. 'Finis' is written to the sweet
story of the home. -. De-. The Incl
dent is larger than its local signiti-
canoe, interesting though that con-
fessedly is. The supreme suffering OF
the universal human heart is mirrored
in it. .'..--.
Lilies Arc Crimson
What happened in Bethany occurs
constantly and everywhere. The home
is the ultimate and superlative crea-
ton. earth's exquisite, consummate
flower. In it comfort, security and JOY
are assured. Cost of pain and strug-
gle in the making is unbegrudgingly
paid. The jewel Is worth its price.
But the tragedy of it is that homes are
being unmade as rapidly as made.
Death is the acid that dissolves this
pearl Recent months have witnessed
the disruption of more families than
ever before. Humanity stands aghast
on the edge of four million war-made
graves.

4OOth Anniversary Of
Protestant Reformation
to BE Widely Observed

The Federal Council of the Churches
of Christ has sent out a request to
the colleges and universities of Amer
ica to observe the 40oth anniversary
of the beginning of the Protestant Ref
ormation. The notable date is Oc-
tober 81, 1917. the date upon which
Luther posted his famous % theses for
discussion by the students of witten-
berg University. In this invitation the
Federal Council calls attention to the
fact that the Reformation of the six
teenth century profoundly effected all
departments of human life and thought
secular as well as religious. 1t gave
religion new Interpretation. 1t cre-
ated the spirit and laid the founda-
tions of democracy and civil liberty.
Its Importance, as a turning point in
the history of political and social re-
lationship alone justifes the schools
of learning in celebrating this anniver-
sary. 3D.. ...
The effects of the Reformation in the
Held OF education were. most pronounce
ed. The Reformation asserted the right
of private judgment in the sphere of.
religion. This principle, applied to ed
ucation, resulted in academic freedom
which characterizes the modern uni
Nersity. 1t also produced the first prac-
ical recognition of the necessity for
universal education.- and the movement
for universal education began with it,
The colleges and universities through
out the country are taking up this
matter and there is every indication
that there will be few institutions of
higher learning which will not in some
way emphasize the great jubilee.
Muhlenberg College. at Allentown,
Pa, has arranged a series of four lee
lures for the students on Reformation
subjects. These lectures will be deliv-
cred by Prof Rockwell of Union Semi
nary. New York; Prof. Wentz, of the
Gettysburg Seminary; Prof. c. NJ. ia
cobs, of the Philadelphia Theological
Seminary, and DR.. Delk. pastor of St
Matthews Church, Philadelphia. 1t is
also planned that the Ministerium of
Pennsylvania will hold it's synodical
jubilee. session on the College Campus.
The students Will cooperate in this
celebration. An historical exhibit will
be arranged at the college for these
celebrations.
