Uncertainty of Opinion.

Don't be sure of your opinion. 1t Is
the verdict of few facts and yet
there are thousands of facts that give
no assistance in forming 1t. If there
were no other proof of the uncertainty
of opinion, the fact that 1t causes SO
much dispute Is sufficient. Truth
causes no dispute. Think of two men
quarreling over two and two make
four, action and recreation are equal,
water seeks its own level, or the gold
en- rule. Men can love one another on
the platform of truth, but as soon as
they make Il platform of opinion they
are at swords points. 1t Is so In re-
ligiOn, politics, industry, society.
There Is no true faith In anything
that Is not based on love. When we
see men quarrehng about religion they
are the devils own agents. They will
never get truth that way. Truth
comes through the heart. The three
things that combine In God are faith,
truth, love, and the greatest of these
Is love, for without 1t the other two
are impossible. When 1t makes you
mad to have someone differ with you,
go off and pray for forgiveness.-Col-
umbus Ohio State Journal.

Mr.. SM00TH'S NEAT GETAWAY
Insurance Agent With Keen Eye to
Business Came Near putting
His Foot In It."

Slipping on an untenanted banana
skin, the homely young woman sat
on the pavement with an unmuslcal
splash. With efficient presence of
mind, Hustace Smooth, agent for the
General and Particular Insurance COM
pany, slipped on another peel and sat
down beside her, with two muttered
curses.
Accidents will happen on the best
regulated pavements won't they?" he
observed with a snarL. "Oh, well,
luckily | happen to be an insurance
agent, and l can insure you against
slipping on banana Feelings or even on
a cake Of ice for the small sum of $14
week, and the first time you slip af-
ter being insured one of our automO-
biles, with absolutely no advertising
matter on the outside, will take you
home for 1920, or, If you prefer, to
any old hospital"
'The idea /" scoffed the enraged
woman, ''it's too muchp'
"But think of the risk we rum" pur-
sued Smooth. Now, other kinds Of
insurance, such as insurance against
being bitten by wild beasts, come as
low as $40 a month"
"I'll take one of them," she said
promptly. II always was great one
for bargains" And she handed him
her card, which read: mile. Kutie,
Wild Animal Trainer, Lions, Tigers
and Leopards Speciality"
Excuse nae moment, / gotta see
a man." stammered Eustace Smooth.

of paying fine Of SIS or serving J

Atlanta, Ga. September 3-Bene-
dry Georgia is going to be il the fore
front of the fight for nationwide pro-
hibeion when a campaign in behalf
OF the amendment to the federal con-
titGtion is launched in this state on
September 9 for a rua OF six weeks
rnsil November 49,
The campaign is one of several
hundred of its kind to be conducted
throughout the country by the Anti
Saloon League of America with the
cooperation of the various state
leagues, and the Georgia Saloon
League. of which James A. Christians
is superintendent, has secured some
of the most noted speakers in the
United States for the campaign in
this state
Approximately IS per cent of the
territory of the United States has
been voted dry, and about 90 per cent
Of the population Of the United States
has adopted prohibition. New Mex
leo, Wyoming, Minnesota, Missouri
and Florida have submitted statewide
prohibition by constitutional amend
ment to vote of the people. The
ratification of the amendment for nat.
ional prohibition, if it is approved by
thirtysix states, will incorporate pro.
hibition in the constitution of the
United Ssttes.
Only ten more states are needet
TO finish the job. In the dryest OF ter
states which still have local option
there are only 1000 saloons. The las
Congress voted the national capita
and the District Of Columbia dry ant
the law was approved by the Presi
dent The same congress also pass
ed law forbidding the shipment OIL
liquor into dry states and law pro.

cations containing liquor advertise.

Men." His text was, "As you soy,
likewise shi d you also reap" 1t was
an exceedingly strong sermon. deal
ing with . vital topic in a powerful
and fearless manner. That the mes
sage OF the sermon struck straight
home there is no doubt.
The four sins are, the use OF impure
language and profanity. Gambling,
Drunkenness and Adultery OF all
these the first is the most inexeusable.
fof the devil fishes for suckers with
his, four hooks he bats the last
thtfe with something, whatever it is,
thu might seem worth while. But
thei first is absolutely a bare hook,
WITH no returns to be obtained.
Each of the other three sins re-
ceived virile scoring. The speaker
never side-stepped an issue, never
clothed a harsh fact with padded
words. He turned the strong search
light of truth onto the men who
had come to hear HIM The light cut
through the. fog and cloud of tobac-
CO smoke, whiskey fumes, and blue
streaked language. cut through the
pail of indifference that hangs like a
leaden blanket over the heads OF too
many people and when finally called
for men to come to Christ he was
answered splendidly.
