Rev. Edward H. Ford. assistant
rector OF 81. Andrews Episcopal
Church, In his sermon at the services
last evening said salvation is not
merely a matter OF life after death,
but Is matter that concerns the pres
ent. lIo said the man that never
meant to do anything wrong nor even
did anything wrong, but who neg
leoted to do right. is far from saliva
tlon.
The Lord has neglected nothing
necessary for our salvation, He has
given us the Bible. containing the
writings OF inspired men throughout
the ages; He gave his Son to the
world and has surrounded us with op-
portunites. IL is for us to take adj
vantage OF them, to enrich our lives
and 10 give freely OF our lives TO the
lives OF others. TO neglect them Is TO
lose salvation.

To the Editor: Since there is con-

act / venture, for the information Of
your readers to transmit a quotation
from a statement made by Justice
William H. Taft, Ex-President Of
the United States on this question.
Mr.. Taft wrote a letter to the
Chicago Tribune, which was publi-
she'd by that paper July p, 1920, a.
bout two years ago, in which he was
quoted as opposed to any modificat-
ion or any amendment to the VOlst-
cad law, and equally opposed to any
light wines or beer being sold un-
der the amendment. In part, he said:
/ am not in favor of amending the
Vostead act in respect to the am
cunt Of permissible alcohol in bev-
erages. / am not in favor of allow
ing light wines and beer to be sold

under the eighteenth amendment. /
believe it would defeat the purpose
Of the amendment No such dist
inction as that between wines and
beer on the one hand and spurious
liquors on the other is practicable as
a police measure. I did not favor
national prohibition when it was an
issue. 1t has been adopted under con-
stitutional forms by the people, and
it should be enforced in good faith.
ANY such loOphole as light wines and
beer would make the amendment a
laughing stock.

day, because they'll see some good
even among the bad conditions they
claim to deplore.
Those who become disheartened in
doing good, because Of the constant
fault-inding, need a new estimate Of
the Importance Of the work In which
they r engaged. Instead Of being
sensitive of criticism, it would be
much more to their credit If they ac-
cepted f~ault-finding as something to
be expected; then their efforts would
likely be more effective in accomplish
ing the amount Of good they set out
to do. +
On the whole, the influence of re-
ligious work, ever though slow and
disappointing at times, Is responsible
for the high moral code under which
virtually all the civilized world
operates. There may be evasions. Of
the, true course which is generally ac-
cepted as the pathway everyone should
tread. But, nevertheless, as a rule
people don't side-step very often with
out experiencing a pang OF regret and
without lowering their estimates or
themselves. al.
IL is always disappointing when
those who teach others stray from the
proper course themselves. But, 1t is
well to remember that no one is per-

SLOGAN OF

x<TFI had gone after that contract I
would have landed it" said the
manager of a business firm to
q of his subordinates, who had re
turned empty-handed from a business
trip. /
"Sure you would" said the subordi-
nate, cheerfrAly, and IL 1 had your
brains instead of you, I'd be sitting in
your chair, and you would be out pull
ing boners on the road" 81:
The foregoing is typical Of a con-
v%ersation which, in some form or other,
takes place in every business institu-
ton Of Importance on an average of
twenty times a week.
1t may be that the bosses are over
confident in their own ability and over
severe on the men under them.
But the excuse beginning IF I had
your brains which bosses and employ
ers hear till they weary OF it, is the
most i~nexcusable excuse that there is
In existence. M "

The man who Is convinced that he

stops trying he begins to slide back
down the hill.
OF all the futile improbable employ
ments, that Of envying another mans
brains is the worst.
An employer who hires a man for a
position of trust and responsibility has
the right to expect him to do what he
is told to do, and to act, when out of
the Office, as the employer would act.
II he fails, he fails. Nobody can *
pect 100 per cent performance. But
he at least should not make the excuse
that he has failed because he lacked
the energy, the intelligence and the
