spirit Of sin has emerged, and Paul's
prescription must again be followed.
The report of the Federal Council has
put into the front pages and into the
thinking of all men the situation in
which the Church finds itself at this
stage of the battle of the bottles. 1t
belongs i'll the field of spirit, the spir-
it that would serve all is warning with
the spirit that would serve self. Prep
aratiOn Of the spirit so that it is ade
quately equipped for the battle is the
imperative need and this is a matter
of teaching, of enlightenment, of
standing after the first assault has
been beaten off with the writing of
the Eighteenth Amendment Elated
by victory many tossed off their ar
NOR and have been unable to meet the
reorganiZed return Of the liquor forces
to the fray. 1t will be harder, proba-
bly,, than before, since real victory
makes it imperative that they gain
now while with the Church it is a
matter only of consolidating its ad-
vanced lines. What did Paul see?
He saw fully equipped spiritual
force, a fully trained spiritual force,
a fully disciplined spiritual force, a
fully God-conscious spiritual force
battling against all darkening powers.
These things mark the present need.
The careful, fair presentation Of the
situation is only the beginning of the
continuous, all-embracing study Of
the facts that must be part of the
equipping needed. How has a great
city daily like the Sun used these
facts? The religious press and the
The Republican., 1925-10-29

injection Of its presentation into news
is more vital than ever. That is part
Of the training. But there must come
the disciplining of the spirit that will
make law enforcement, so difficult
thing in the dual arrangement Of
state and nation, so impossible a
thing in the face of majority oppo-
sition, not the chief matter of con-
cern but will place law observance
by disciplined souls as the goal to-
ward which we strive. And not eco
nomic necessity, not social health, but
the presence of the Spirit of God in
all life must lie at the heart of ad-
vance.

The law makes it mandatory for
an automobile to stop before crossing

There will be Statewide effort to
enforce this law, and many crossings
are now being watched by officers.

NOTHING FOR pop"

q. J. 81
Our mothers have been eulogized
With poetry, prose and song,
And her dear name is solemniZed,
In home life mighty strong
A certain day was set apart
To show her that we know
She is the ideal of our heart,
No matter where we go.
But poor old pop" has been left out
No praise is shown to him,
No songsters take their Tyres anC
shout
That he is nice and trim
No day is called a Fathers" day,
No posies worn for dad"
To help him on his hard-earned way
And make his heart feel glad.
But still he takes the family bit
Between his rugged jaws
And pulls the marital ship with it
Ger many gaps and flaws.
He is the chap that buys our clothes
And shoes to hide our feet
And pays for all the high-priced hose
That daughter wears so sweet.
He worries just as much as ma
AT reckless, hayward youth,
But shucks! he's just plain old pa
And seems so blamed uncouth
That folks forget to sing his prais,
Whene'er they WELD a pen,
It's just the simple, thoughtless way,
OF women, kids and men.
