Carson, pastor of the Cen- tral Presbyterian Church, preached a stirring sermon on “Signs of Pro- gress.” The toxt was from 1 Chron- icles 12:32: “Men that had under- | standing of the tim=2s." Here are some of the things be said: Any student of our age will find in existing conditions much that wars | against truth and righteousness and { honor, and that threatens manhood and the social order. In the political world there is corruption. Votes are sold to the highest bidder from the | Senate to the ward caucus; men, } whose only creed is greed, whose only {| patriotism is pelf, band themselves ! together to control political situa- , tions; certain public officials are growing rich on harvests reaped from the black fields of vice and erime. In the commercial world there is dis- honesty. For personal gain of wealth or power men sacrifice principle, com- promise conscience, become reckless operators, unscrupulous gamblers, bandits of banking, highwaymen of finance, In the industrial world there is unfairness and injustice. Corpora- tions ignore the interes. of and op- | press their workmen, crush competi tion, defraud the people; working- men band themselves together to force employers to their terms, forbid men to work except on terms fixed by a union, limit apprentices and so deny young men their rights, enforce their demands by violence, p.y homage to eriminal leadership In the social world there are ‘wrongs The rich domineer in their swollen pride and fount their extravagances in the face fixed purpose of thousands of our fel- low citizens and it is being Tulfised, Five States—Maine, Kansas, North Dakota, Okfahoma and Georgla—are now prohibition, and in one more {Alabama) prohibition becomes oper- ative on Janudry 1, 1908. Six States of the Union prohibit the sale or man- ufacture of intoxicating drinks. The progress of the temperance movement in the South is one of the most significant and inspiring signs of our times. Two States, Georgia and Alabama, have enacted prohib- tion laws. Ninety-fivé per cen. of North Carolina has declared against the saloon. MIississippl has a pronibi tion Legislature and a prohibition Governor, and ninety per cent, of the State has barred liquor. Tennessce has voted the galocon out of all but four of its ninety-six counties, Ken- tucky has nearly a hundred of its 119 counties entirely free from saloons, and seventy-five per cent. of its pop- ulation are living in prohibition ter- ritory. Two-thirds of Louisiana has no saloons. In Florida three-fourths of the State has voted no license. In Texas 148 of the 246 counties have wiped cut the saloon, while fifty-one other counties are partially prohibi- tion, so that in only forty-seven coun- ties of the State is liquor freely sold In South Carolina about half the counties have voted no license. In Virginia seventy-two counties out of 118; In West Virginia thirty out of fifty-five, and in Maryland fourtesn out of twenty-three prohibit the sale of liquor. Twenty out of twenty- seven millions of people south of the Mason and Dixon line live in no liquor territory. There are more drinking piaces, legal and illegal, in New York than in the whole South. The temperance movement is tak- ing hold on the North. By a majority of 18,000 out of a total vote of a little over 100,000, the new State of Oklahoma declared for prohibition Maine, Kansas and North Dakotas are | enforcing thelr prohibition laws with new vigor.

In the presence of | these investigations suspicion creeps { into the mind and men are tempted i to think that all men are dishonest ! because some men have been proved { thieves and robbers. It is a fatal mis- take. 1 am persuaded that there is more honest fiber in the life of to-day than there ever has been.
