l. A Young Mans Purpose.
Noching is more significant in our
worl,i than the action Of its young
men We have been thrilled by the
enrolment of 100000 between
the ages of ~ and 81. With what
purposes, we are asking. do they

Of life: Have they purposes in their
hearts. like Daniel of old that they

kings dainties or with wine: Think
of your own youthful purposes and

Tomorrow depends upon it.

principal object of life?'
Ill Prohibition By Law.
The purpose of law is to protect
inalienable rights and to secure eff
ticiency and safety III the admins
tration of government, the Organiza-
tion of human society and the life of
the individual. Law succeeds when
public sentiment is back of it. Tenn
perance legislation is moving on rap
idly today because public sentiment
has been moving rapidly. The cry
for war prohibition is after all a
demand for the safety and happiness
of all the people in our great repub-
lie. What has been accomplished in
Russia. Italy, Germany. France and
England is well known. We cannot
allow the small proportion of drink
ers to endanger the life, liberty and
happiness of the majority. The time
has come when the greatest good to
the greatest number demands that the
liquor business be put out of exis-
tence. We are going to do it in Ohio
in November. An increase of TWEEN
ty-one cents in our taxes upon every
| thousand dollars worth of taxable
property would pay all the income
| which the saloon now brings to the
state. In additicn it would do away
with heavy costs created by the pow
erty and crime which are the product
| OF the saloon.

IL. Abstinence and Efficiency.
Daniel and his friends made an
offer to the prince OF the eunuchs
that he should try them ont on simple
food for ten days and see whether
they were not in "a good condition
mt the end of the time as others who
drank and ate daintieS. The test
was conclusive. Ii j. always SO.
There can be no efficiency where
there is Indulgence. Ii ii is good

they may te at their best it is good
