The Foundation of Our Hope.

World prohibition in the next de-
cade? A wild dream! A fanciful de-
fusion! An impossible hope of a Wis
ionary! When you assume the role
of prophet and venture the predic-
ton that within five or ten years all
the nations of the world will be under
prohibitory law, you are almost GER
tain to call forth from some Of your
hearers expressions Of derisiOn or
doubt. And yet-similar dishearten-
ing comments greeted the prediction
a few years ago that this country
would be under a nationwide dry law
by 1920. But why, ask the skeptlcal
do you imagine that such a miracle
as worldwide prohibition can be
brought to pass in this generation?
The women constituting the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union have al
ways been idealists, Missionaries, if
you please, builders of castles in the
air, but history records that by years
of practical work they have turned
these castles into substantial realities
which have had mighty influence
upon the life of the nation.
A half century ago the W. c. T. U.
had vision Of nation emancipated
| IL O4u luC ACSd11ACO u4uOA Il dAAS aAu
began Immediately to make that vi
sion an actually by securing the
teaching in the public schools of scien-
tific truths concerning the nature and
effects of alcohol. In many other
countries the women of the w. c. T. U.
have had similar dream of what
freedom from strong drink would
mean to the next generation, with the
result that for a decade or longer the
white ribbons Of Norway and Sweden.
Of New Zealand and Australia, and of
many other lands have, through their
own efforts and at their own expense,
or by bringing pressure to bear upon
school officials and government au-
thorities, provided instruction Of the
same nature, often obtaining the CO.
roperation of teachers and furnishing
them with temperance wall charts
and literature. Through story and
song they have also brought to the
children of Sunday schools and Loyal
Temperance Legions, truths relating
to alcohol.
This seed sown in the minds and
hearts of the youth of the nations OF
the world, sooner or later is certain
to leaven the whole lump of public
sentiment and make possible, indeed
inevitable, worldwide prohibition OF
the traffic in drink.

Shore Leave.
"Prohibition has made it a pleasure
to entertain the sailors who have come
to the west coast with the Pacific
feet" writes a special correspondent
of the Christian Science Monitor from
Santa Barbara
"It has been possible for large num-
bers of men to enjoy shore leave with
out returning to their ships under the
influence of liquor and suffering the
consequent punishments.
''Navy patrols put ashore to keep
order among the liberty parties Say
they have little or no work to do since
it has become practically impossible
for the men to get liquor. Sober, the
sailors are well behaved. It is only
when they get strong drink that they
become troublesome"
