Temperance School

1t is proposed to established i'll all
churches study circles. Next sum-
mer, temperance school on a large
scale is to be arranged. This will
be followed by local surveys to as
certain just what part drink is play
ing in town and city life. There is
to be presidential temperance assem-
blies in each district. The best
speakers available are to take part.
The speaking will be in the hands of
the President and well-known lay
men and myself. Among those who
have promised their services are the
Rt Hon. Walter Runciman. Sir Will
liam Middlebrook, Sir Ernest Lamb,
Sir George Lunn, the Ri Hon. Ar
thur Henderson, the Ri. Hon. T. R.
Ferens, Lady Kay, Gypsy Smith, Mr.
Douthwaite (tle President of the l..
P. M. A. Al, Councillor Vaughan of
Tredegar, Mr.. Crowle-Smith, and
Councillor Isaac Foot, the Deputy
Mayor OF Plymouth
A special literature will be pro-
vided for each of the FIVE years Of the
campaign. Regarding the financial
program made necessary by such ex-
tensive. projects, Mr.. Carter says:
Eyes, fighting fund is essen
tial, not only for the larger work
we shall have to do from Head
quarters, but for the wider tasks
which we want our District and
Circuit Campaign Committees to
undertake. We require a fight
ing fund for the next FIVE years.

enlarged our responsibilities but

clans. Several of them have been
very INSCRIPTIONS regarding this
matter. Ono physician and veterin-
arian at Tammerfors. during the time
between March l and May 10, 1921, in
70 days, wrote 22,07S prescriptions
Tor alcohol, a total OF HOO kilogram
OF alcohol.
Irregularities have also been seen
at the drug stores. The temperance
department OF the Social Ministry
has, therefore drawn up proposal 10
turn over the whole drug business to
the communities. The proposal is
now pending at the Medical Directory
for their opinion before it goes to the
Parliament.
Further Strengthening Amendments
Several other changes affecting the
enforcement OF the dry law arc under
way. Among these it is planned TO
decide the same penalty for those who
in any way teach others to make al
cohol as for those who illegally make
it, Since the state has a monopoly
for the making Of all alcohol that is
allowed for any purpose. such meas
ures arc considered to be just Res
taurants that sell or furnish alcohol to
their guests or customers will lose
their right 10 do business. Clubs that
violate the law will be closed.
One thing that gives promise for
better law enforcement III Finland
Is the proposal TO establish institu-
tons where confirmed druukards. left
over from the old regime. may be
confined. These persons prove to be
great hindrance to the effective law
enforcement as they arc generally the
customers OF the moonshiner and
bootlegger. As an example of this it
may be mentioned. that during one
year a person was convicted at Hell
singfors for drunkenness not less than
d different times.
Prohibition to Stay
The friends OF temperance are &C.
tive and are working TO reach the III
innate goal complete suppression OF
the liquor traffic. They are making
wonderful progress The great ma
jority of the people favor strict en-
forcement and this fact is reflected in
Parliament where the majority is also
favorable TO the dry policy. The gov
eminent is working for dry nation.
And finally the people are inspired to
keep the Prohibition faith by the
splendid efforts that are being made
i'll other lands to overthrow the drink
curse.

The Presidents Campaign

The new president of the Metho-
dist church is Rev. J. A. Sharp and a
live wire he is. Mr.. Sharp has long
career Of fighting the drink business

for war of the whole Wesleyan
church against the drink traffic.

time, was launched the middle of
July. 1t is all educational campaign
of large proportions with the local
veto (Local option as the chief OBJ
jective. Our aim" said the Rev.

STIRRING EVENTS HAPPEN
IN TIGHT LITTLE ISLE"
British Methodists Launch Big
Five Year Presidents
Campaign
BISHOP OF LONDON ACTS
Bishop Seeks to Put Church of
England Temperance Society
on High Ground
CIV. E. Johnson, London)

Two events developed in Britain
during the month of July that mean
much to the temperance reform on
the tight little isle" One is the
launching of the five year "presi-
dents campaign" in the Methodist
church and the other is the whirl-
wind tour of the Bishop of London
who is seeking to civilze the Estab-
lished Church on the drink question
The Tour of the Bishop of London
About the middle of July, the Bsh-
OPP completed a highly successful tour
among the churches of his denomn-
alton. In this tour, he made seventy
addresses in thirty five dioceses.
The trip was for the primary purpose
of establishing on high ground the
work of the Church OF England Tenn
perancc Society and was a part of a
drive for half million new members
The Society is also raising fund Of
$250,000 to carry on the work.
The demonstrations took the form
OF gathering of clergy and workers
in the afternoon followed by a great
mass meeting in the largest hall in
the evening. These gatherings were
very successful, as many as 5000 at
tending some of them. While the
Bishop was not advocating Prohibi-
ton for the time being, yet he usual
iy in his addresses took occasion to
comment on Prohibition in America
Speaking of his tour and of his COM
ments on America, the Bishop said;
Another point that was driven
has been taken in America
Whilst made it plain that was
not out for Prohibition, and that
am neither a Pussyfoot nor a
pussycat yet--say what you like
about America-the fact remains,
and all independent evidence
confirms it, that the action that
has beer taken there has had the
effect both in the United States
and in Canada, of closing num-
bers of gaols and rescue homes
"The American bishops who
came to the Lambeth conference
last year admitted that they had
done nothing to bring about this
great change; it is solely due to
American legislation. Admiral
Sims, when he was over here the
other day, said that there is no
likelihood OF America going back
to the old conditions. Every
meeting ] addressed realized the
fact that we have now to meet in
competition an absolutely sober
nation"

Slump in Revenue

The government itself supplies the
arrack at AZ rupees (nominally
1929 and then lets the bar privileges
at public auction, the highest bidder
getting the privilege. Because of the
spread of Prohibition and because of
the boycott on the drink shops, the
arraek contractors this year are not
bidding very enthusiastically. Auc-
tons have SO far this year been held
in fourteen districts including the city
OF Colombo. In spite of the fact that
the license privilege for Colombo
brought 569,7OS rupees more than last
year. the slump in the bidding in the
outside provinces was so slack that
the revenues for the fourteen districts
will be $4,000 rupees less this year
than last,
