a check on spirit drinking. Near the
end of the year the President ordered
the breweries after January l to re-
duce the alcohol content of beer TO
2% per cent. In general, both In
clubs and hotels, as well as In sa-
looms, drinking has already sensibly
dimished, even in our great cities as
one of the results of sober thinking
induced by the national purpose OF
winning the war.
The advance in state prohibitory
laws put in force during the year has
brought the number Of States forbid
ding the sale of liquor to twenty-five.
The Supreme Court has decided in
favor of the constitutionality Of laws
forbidding the possession of intoxi-
cants by citizens, ruling that the pow
err of enforcement follows the UNI
doubted right to enact the prohibitory
laws. Congress has enacted COM
plete prohibition of sending liquor in
to dry" territory by mail or other
wise; and has submitted to the State
legislatures Federal Constitutional
Amendment forbidding the manufac-
ture for use as beverages, the sale
and the importation of alcoholic in
toxicants into the United States or
any of its possessions.

Dear Sister Carrie:
Just got back a short time ago from
a good hike and will wait until we
get some further instructions, if there
are any more before dinner. We most
always take hike in the morning
and after dinner go out and drill. Its
great dope and / wish they would
keep us out more. Some of the fell
lows begin to whine after they are
out about so long and some times
when the get the call to go out, but
for myself I'm on the job. The exer-
else is great Besides laying around
in the barracks all the time is far
from being healthy.
The first three or four days we
were here l sure felt bum and did not
care much whether / moved or not,
but as soon as / got to feeling like
myself again, / sure was glad / was
here and feel the same every day. OF
course there are little things and
times when ] would like to have
things different but that has happen
ed before. I've been in different
places and several times so / do not
think of that.
The night we left Columbus it was
rainy and got my feet wet, catching
little cold, so could not sleep that
night on the train, and altogether l
was feeling all in, but soon got in the
game again.
We have fine bunch of officers, too
in charge of our company. There are
four barracks in each company. / do
not know just how many fellows there
are in the company, but there are
supposed to Sc in each barrack. There
is second LIEUTENANT in charge of
each barrack and captain in charge
of the company and he sure is a fine
man, although young for captaincy;
and the lieutenant is a dandy. A
second lieutenant is the lowest rank
of the commissioned officers, starting
with that rank and on up to higher
officers, get their position from Wash
ington. A second lieutenant and up
are the officers we are supposed to
salute and have to salute. And as the
captain tells US we are not saluting
the man, but the position he fills.
Officers like the ones in charge here
Of our company especially, you are
ready to salute the man. One day
when we were out on the drill the
captain gave the company a little
talk, told them there would be days
for a while that they would be down
on the army; would curse such life
and such stuff; but the time would
come when there would not be one of

deadly poison" comparing its effects
with those of other types of instan-
tsneous or quick-acting poisons,
among his statements, saying that no
man who had swallowed five drops of
pure alcohol had ever been resusci-
tated.

we have been made children of God,

faith, a simple childlike confidence In

counting on him to do as he has said (;
and without faith it is impossible to

he had to say to his disciples, 30 We OF

1879. The Scribes said truly when
they said, "Who can forgive sins but
God only?" Tvs. y. And IL they had add
ed: This man must be God, they would
have reasoned correctly, but seeing
him only as man they accused him
of blasphemy. No mortal man can for
give sins. whether he be priest, or
bishop, or archbishop, or pope. but
the humblest believer Is authorized to
lead q sinner to Christ and show him
in the Word the way Of forgiveness,
and the Spirit by his Word will give
assurance Of forgiveness to every true
penitent.
Jesus perceives all our reasonings
Tvs. 81 and knows every thought Of
our hearts and by his Spirit and his
Word will cast down all reasonings
and bring all our thoughts into subjec-
ton to himself (Ezek.11 IS; Ps. 139 IA |;
ii Cor. 1914, 5, margin).
Having given the man forgiveness of
his sins, and health of soul, he also
gave him health for his body, and he
went forth before them all carrying
that which had carried him, and his
four friends, as well as himself, must
have been filed with JOY. Such faith
as theirs is never disappointed. The
same great sacrifice Of Christ, by which
we obtain forgiveness of our sins, in
sures to US at the resurrection of the
just a perfect body just like his glori-
fled body (Phil. 3 30. 81; John 3 Il,
y. Between our salvation and that
bright morning OF his coming again he
will see TO it that these mortal bodies
shall have all the health that will glo-
rify him provided that we are fully
yielded to him, living sacrifice, ever
only all for him, determined that he
shall be magnified In these bodies
whether by life or death (Rom. 12:1,
2; Phil. 10Y. Those who witnessed
this miracle glorified God, saying, 1--WE
never saw 1t on this fashion" Tvs. 12),
or, "We have seen strange things to-
day" duke 5 :26). There are SO many
palsied or paralyzed people in all the
churches, whose feet and hands, and
tongues refuse to glorify God by word
or deed.

SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON

SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON
This lesson on the forgiveness Of sins
Is found In Matt. and Luke 5, as well
as in Mark. The necessity Of the for
giveness Of our sins is seen In Christ's
commission that repentance and re-
mission of sins should be preached In
his name among all nations; In Peters
exhortation at Pentecost that they
should repent and be baptized in the
name of Jesus Christ for the remission
of sins, and in Paul's declaration at
Antioch that through this Man is
preached unto you the forgiveness of
sins, and by him all that believe are
justified from all things duke "a al |;
Acts 2 :3S; 10 :3S, 39). On the occasion
of the incident of our lesson he was
teaching in q house in Capernaum, and
there were Pharisees and doctors Of
the law sitting by which were come
out of every town of Galilee, and Ju-
dea, and Jerusalem: and the power Of
the Lord was present to heal them
duke $40. The meeting was dis
turbed by men uncovering the roof TO
let down through IL man sick OF the
palsy, lying on bed, whom four Of
his friends had brought TO Jesus, be-
lieying that he would heal him. When
they could not reach Jesus with their
sick friend because of the multitude
about the house, their faith and perse-
verance took this method of accom-
plishlng their object. The Pharisees
and the doctors were probably dis
turbed by this unusual proceeding. but
the Prince of Peace was surely calm
as usual. He had been preaching the
Word to all who could hear him. Open
ing to them the Scriptures. as was his
custom. Luke "A 81, AZ, but now he
turns to the sick man with the wonder
full words, "Son, be of good cheer, thy
sins be forgiven thee" He was
brought that his body might be healed,
and many are thinking more Of that
even now, than Of the forgiveness of
their sins, but the healing of the soul
Is the first and all-important thing.
I'VE must be born again" Is the essen
tial word for even Nicodemus. and
the new birth includes the forgiveness
Of sins. When we as sinners plead
guilty, and truly receive the Lord Je-
sus. putting all our trust In his great
sacrifice Of himself for our sins, be-
lieving that his own self bore our sins
