TRAINING FOR TEMPERANCE

TEXT: Train up a child in the way he should go.
Temperance Sunday has lately been observed in
many thousands of Sunday schools and church
services Among startling things that have been
brought to light in researches for the occasion, we
note one great historical achievement that speaks
for itself without need of comment. 1t is from
Kansas that went bone dry over a generation ago,
and that put on a great program of temperance
teaching for the children.
The plan in general was that all saloons be
closed and that in every room, in every day-schoo
every day, the effects Of narcotics on the human
system be taught the children. This regime was
carried out with good degree of faithfuness during
the years of the making Of generation. (The
writer taught in the schools six years during the
first part Of the period) ....
We will note some of the results after 40
years published by religious paper:
81 of the states los counties were reported as
without any insane.
Sd counties without any feeble-mnded
SO counties without any inebriates.
SO counties without any poorhouses
53 counties without any persons IN jail.
Sc counties without any in penitentiary.
Where can more eloquent statistics be found or
a finer warrant for training up children IN the way
they should go in matters of temperance? Any
comment on the summary is uncalled for by intel
lgent observers. 1t approaches the God-idea OF
bringing up people, at least in the respect we
are considering. IL takes back to Gods first
principles shown in the making of a nation.
When for centuries the Jewish nation was di-
rectly under God, and from hsping infancy the
children were tutored under his plan--Bibe schol-
ars say they given about an average of S35
hours of religious training a year--and then in
spite of many regrettable lapses, the greatest
suits for good in the history of the world appeared.
From the nation came the greatest men and women
ever known, the greatest literature, the greatest
institutions such temple service school and
church, and greatest of all the Worlds Redeemer.
All the eternal principles that we must rest upon
for safety here and hereafter were plainly shown
with the fruits they bore. 81.
Kansas has done fine part and why may not
our whole union profit by her example? The state
is like window with curtain raised for God to
show what can be expected when his plans are
followed. .. -. ....
Let the reader spend time for full meditation on
what the Sunflower state has taught us, and then
remember that the good people of our land still
hold the balance of power, and can put on such
program in any and all states.-G. V. Albertson IL
Volusia County (Fla) Democrat.

and heart utterly void of spiritual CON
seriousness, religious convictions, ana q
moving desire and determination TO DO MS
part in promoting the churchs worship
and work? '"
The people who belong to the churches
in this country can make of the united
States anything they please-if they can
be moulded into unit for united ana en-
thusiastic support and promotion OF the
Kingdom of God in the world. s.I...t
Approximately so per cent. Of the popu-
lation of the country is represented IN
church membership, but much less than 'o
per cent. of church membership IS active
and effective in support of the Kingdom
and its work
The earnest conviction of this neWspa-
per is that the church should lay the axe
at the root of it's dead timber. The RELIEF
afforded the consecrated membership by
this action would arouse the church to re-
newed' efforts and might result III great
forward movement.

Just how wide viii be the breach in the Demo

tell 1t seems probable to- a close observer that
the breech may continue to widen. And one thing
that is going to do this is President Rooseyet's
attitude upon the supreme court question. If he
insists upon having his way, it will put it up to
congress to again override his wL Then, too, the
persistent effort to bring in another NRA and
AAA, although revised, is going to meet with
strong opposition. If the administration moves to
the left, as now likely the Democratic party
will assuredly split wide open. As the people who
pay taxes Cand all Of them do) there is going to
develop more and more conflict within the party.
Old line democracy and the widespread socialism
Of the party will split it wide open. No matter
what name you give to the augmentation reduc-

is no name that fits it better than socialism. That's

NO INJUNCTION GRANTED

Judge Henry Grady ruled last week that no IN
junction would be granted to restrain the con-
struetion of rural electric lines by the Carolina
Power Light Co., in Johnston county.
As q result of that decision, construction work
will be continued and it will be only short while
before Johnston county will be electrified IN prae7
tically every rural section. 81 ~
This was probably the first case on record in
which IL has been admitted shown that federal
official-the Rural Electrifeation Administrator
has used his position and influence and money OF
the taxpayers to foment and finance litigation by
private parties. If he had been successful in his
efforts. the result probably would have been that
rural electrifcstion in Johnston would have been

a mans matrimonial af1alrS pays
an important part in his reliable
ity. Is his domestic life happy?
If it is no, assuredly he is not as
good a risk as if it were.
The man whose domestic life is
in a state of disturbance cannot
be at his best. Furthermore, his
sense eof proportions, his concep-
ton of moral values may be sad
" distorted. His judgment may
be badly impaired. He is not as
good a risk as he would be if his
domestic matters were serene.
And it does not matter if the
man himse fills not to blame. If
the wife is the one who is at
fault, the man is nevertheless i'm
