A SCHOLARLY SUNDAY SERMON BY
DR. N. M. WATERS.
Subject: Cholrc of a Profession.
Brooklyn, N. Y. At the Tomp
' Ins Avenue Church, the pastor,
the Tlev. Dr. N. M. Waters.
reached the Brit of a series of even
1 ig sermons to young men Ho laid
(.own certain principles according to i
which a man should choose his life !
work. He said, among other things:
In a current book a college presi
dent tells this story:
A travelei in Japan says thnt one j
day as he stood on the quay In Tokio I
wailing lor a steamer he excited the I
attention of a coolie doing the work !
of a stevedore, who knew he was
an American. As the coolie went hv I
with his load, In his pigeon RraglltB
lie scld: "Come buy cargo?" Ry
which lie meant: "Are you in .lapan 1
on business. The man shook his j
head. The second time the cool lo
passed, he again asked: "Come look !
and see?" Ry which he meant to ask i
If the American were a tourist seeing I
the country. Receiving a negative re- 1
ply, the next time he passed ho tried '
one more question: "Spec' die soon?"
Ry which he meant to ask If the mnn
Was there for his health.
This the writer used to describe
three different classes of people In I
the world. There is the young nan
who seems to be In the world for his
health. He wants to be coddled.
There Is the young man who seems to '
Be In the world as a traveler. Ha
wants to he amused. There are' the
young men who are In the world for
business. They mean to do some
thing and be somebody. These are
the young men to whom I want to
apeak on "How Shall I Choose My
Xlfe Work?" The others are not
worth our time
The first question concerns the '
young man himself. What are my
possibilities? You cannot make a '
gentleman in a single generation. It j
was Oliver Wendell Holmes who snld
that in order to make a gentleman
you needed to begin two hundred I
years before he was born. Ry which '
he meant to state the great law of
life called heredity This unlocks
man's birthright and shows from i
what source his gifts of raiDd and '
body come.
The second great fact Is environ- I
mtnf. "t am a part of all I have
met." Born In Africa, you are a sav- i
age; born in this city, yon are cul- !
turerl. We are children of our sur
roundings. There Is a third great fact. There '
Is something In you stronger than 1
heredity or circumstances. I mean !
the human will, "When among the
Romans do as Romans do" is the
saying of a multitude who have j
taken their first step toward hell, i
Men may control circumstances. You
come from the country so did Da
Ytd. You are poor so was Paul.
You have no Influence or friends
nor did Joseph. You have no one to
end vou -to college Garfield had '
none, but he went. Robert Burns
had none he was a plowman, but
be became fVntland's greatest poet, i
Listen! In this country any able-bod- !
led toy ran go through college If he !
Wtll Work, and wait, and even with
out college he can become n scholar
In Hie school of his dally toll.
The second question concerns the 1
Vocations of men. How shall I 1
choose? Thl? Is the first thing. You
thAj I require of your life-work that I
it shall gain you bread and butter, j
,Th.;v are thre.; ways of getting food
a:.;l cloths and a roof In this world, I
and but three. A man may steal
them, he may beg for them, or he j
mcy earn them The first way makes
him a robber, the second makes him
a pauper and the third makes him a
WoHtfTi
Tt?re rre always ,n the world
m&ajr nun vho steal their living, i
Some of them are very low In chac
BCter, and we know them ns tramps, !
burglars, pirates. These are afraid
of the light and they skulk through I
the world, recognized as enemies of
the social order, and for them there
't netthr rest nor respect.
Rut all who prey on society are I
ot bo. Ho great is our regnrd for
success that many men to-day Imitate
their methods. Men there are to-day ,
win, seized upon the strategic crags
and passes in the world of business
and grew rich by levying toll on the
passing rage. To hold one man up
fai highway robbery. To hold up a ;
whole city for Ice, for milk, or bread, 1
Blniply because one has the power, Is
an act that seems to me to be a crime. I
This Is the second great law you
shall require of your work that It j
shf.il make a man of you. If the first
requirement ou mnlte of your work
is that it shall give you bread, the
second is that it shall give you cul
ture. No man has any right to en
gage in any occupation that brutal
lies him. No factory or mine should
be allowed to run that degrades the
tollers. The first question a young
man will ask of his work U "Will It
ennoble or degrade me?" This is not
too high a requirement. Any honest
wink, honestly done, Is a liberal edu
cation. There Is no genulno culture out- 1
nlde cf work. Oftentimes the hard
en task Is the best teacher. "The
Mm With the Hoe," we need not pity i
him. Moses was a herdsman, David
was a shepherd, Jesus was a carpen- !
tar, Benjamin Franklin knew no col- '
lege. He was a printer's devil. Even ,
college gives culture only through
work, and there are some things col-
leges never can teach. Latin and
art and history and literature are the
decorations of man. Kven reading
and writing and the rule of three are
but conveniences, and these come
only through labor, whether In col
lage or outside of It.
But these are fundamentals. In
dustry, thrift, couruge, good cheer,
fidelity, honesty, truth these ara the '
quailing thut make eternal the life
of man, and they are had for the
hearing la every labor and calling
open to man. If you have not gotten !
these things, though you have gained I
the whole world, you have lost your 1
i ton I.
It Is not the vocation so much as
It is the way its work is done. When j
you skimp, cheat, slight or sham in
your work, you Injure your em- I
pioyer; but you ruin yourself. Every .
stitch, Is a Ue woven in your char-
acter. Is your work making a man
out or you 7
The third great requirement If
Ibat your life work shall enable you
to utter a message. Paiuting merely
to preserve wood or decorate It, Is to
be an artisan. Painting to manifest
Ideals Is to be an artist.
To work at a task for bread or
gold is drudgery, but to find joy
It you,- work because through It you
ran utter what Is lu your heart, Is lu
rpiring. A musician whs sick, as men
thought, unto death. He was caught
away In a vision. He saw things too
deep for wprdt WfirVlmr. shouting,
He camo back from his delirium. But
when he was well, the vision dwelt
In his brain He could not utter It
such knowledge was too wonderful
for speech. A night came, and he sat
still, brooding over the mystery at
the organ. His fingers found he
keys, and directly he sobbed out all
he had seen. He wrote It down, and
we call it Tho Messiah " His work
had become his language.
The drudgery of life is that wo
work like dumb, driven cattle, with
never a syllable of our heart scrrwt
told in all our work. The joy of life
comes when we can make our voca
tion, whatever it may be, publish to
all the world the truth God has given
us. Every mnn who hath found his
true life work hath found a ministry.
God hath chosen every man to be His
servant and h:ith put some message
the world needs In his heart.
Choosing a profession Is ns holy
as an ordination vow.
NOVEMBER TWENTY FOURTH.
A Prayer.
Heavenly Father, thou Divine
Father of our human spirits, wo
bring to Thee our little power; touch
It with new life, giving us to realize
that It Is n part of Thy power. We
bring to Thee our little wisdom; en
large and raise it through the sensn
that It Is part of Thy wisrlom and
that as we commune with Thee we
may become more like Thee In wis
dom. We bring lo Thee feeble love;
strengthen It, O Qod, through the
consciousness thnt It Is indeed Thy
love Inspiring us. Fill our hearts
with a larger and a deeper love.
We thank Thee, O God, for the
opportunities of our life. Some
times tho means and the occasions
which are ours seem to us so slight,
to small, and so insignificant. Some
times Thou revealed to us that we
have great opportunities. May wo
be conscious;, O God, of the greatness
of our present opportunity. Gathered
from the lands of the world, belong
ing to many nations, living from day
to day under varied conditions, wo
would realize that Thy spirit should
be ours now, during this week,
through all our lives. Join us, O
God, together In tho sense of a deep
unity, in the senso that our great
object is one. that, however diverse
our circumstances, wo may be one
in Thee. May we dedicate ourselves
in all humanity, but with full aspi
ration, anew to Thy service.
Our Father which art in heaven,
rallowed be Thy name. Thy king
dom come. Thy will he done on
earth as it is in heaven. Give us this
day our daily bread., and forgive us
our trespasses as we forgive them
that trespass against us. And lead
us not Into temptation, but deliver
ns from evil. For Thine Is the king
dom, and tho power, and the glory,
forever and ever. amen. Rev. Henry

THE DRUNKARD'S DOOM.
r I'll a Power of His Resurrection.
Let us who htlteve In the Lord of
life no longer seek the living among
the dead. Let us not go with Mary
to the grave to weep there; hut let
us stand where she stood after she
had recognized her risen Lord In the
light of the Batter morning, and with
a joyful heart exclaim, "Rubbonl!"
To "know Him nnd the power of
His resurrection" Is to have joy for
the mourning, the garment of praise
for tho spirit of heaviness. St. Paul
says he counts all thlng3 but loss
for the excellency of this knowledge.
And well he may, and so may we;
for without this knowledge all other
things are very small gain.
To stand beside a sepulchre weep
ing, or with "thoughts that lie too
deep for tears," is the universal hu
man lot "since sorrow set her bleed
bag heart on this fair world of ours."
But bitter tears are shed only by one
who hopelessly says: "They have
taken away my Lord." We tarry
at a sepulchre only when faith is
under an eclipse. With a spiritual
sight of Jesus and the recogultion of
His voice, "in whom, though now
WO sjc Him Dot, yet believing, we
rejoice with joy unspeakable," we
turn away from the empty tomb,
knowing that It is only tho gateway
of life, that grief Is an avenue to
richer joy, and the light affliction
is a factor in the eternal weight of
glory. Christian Advocate.

SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 24.
The Successful Life.
God's will is man's life. To know
It is to gain life's meaning. To follow
It is to find life's pleasure. To flnlBh
It Is to gain life's crown. True suc
cess muBt follow this divine law of
living. No success is worth the name
that is not stamped with the divine
approval. It you are a businoss man
your success will not be measured by
the dollar slgu, but by a more lasting
token, God's approval. The dollar Is
far below the deed in the estimation
of the Almighty.
Life is, after all, the essential pos
session. Upon Its character depends
destiny. Life outlasts the world, and
its deeds have a more enduring qual
ity than its possessions. Deeds await
the coming of the Son of Man. True
Inocsea will be measured then. It Is
no chanco work, however. The Mas
ter, by both example and command,
pott His disciples in the path to such
success. "If a man would come after
Me, let him deny himself, and take
up his cross, and follow Me." That
is a high ideal with a plain condition
of its attainment. Such a following
of ChriBt makes a truly successful
life. George R. Lunn, D. D . In Chris
tian Intelligencer.
The Evil of Strong Drink Prov. 23:
29 35 Temperance.
Passages for reference: Hab. 2:
15; Isa. 5: 20-25.
People very quickly forgot tht
danger of drinking. The evil result!'
must be frequently depicted. Its mis
eries are as old as the habit of con
Burning spirituous liquorB.
Liquor drinking does no good, If
never necessary. Is always dnngerous
nnd Is therefore Inexcusable. The
general manager of a great railroad
system In 1 90S wrote to the editor ol
the Epworth Herald as follows: "I
believe every railroad In this country
and necessarily every managing offi
cer, Is not merely an advocate ol
temperance, but of total abstinence."
Frances E. Wlllard once asked Thos
A. Edison why he was a total ab
stainer, and received the answer, "1
always felt that I had better use for
my head" than to addle It with
liquor. Luther Burbank, the wizard
with plant life, never UBes tobacco ot
alcohol In any form. He says hie
fireman Informed him, "The men I
found unable to do the delicate work
of budding Invariably turned out to
be smokers or drinkers." Secretary
Taft said recently: "To the actlvo
Individual drinking Is unsafe and a
hindrance to success. To the youth It
is a positive danger, and for a doctor
to prescribe liquor to any but tho
aged, Is a real crime." The old story
ef Its need for Ihe consuYaptlve, even,
has been exploded. The American
Federation of Iabor recently issued
a circular advising consumptives to
leave It alone. The best physicians
now say thnt It actually feeds tuber
cular germs. Finest practitioners de
clare that liquor Is never needed aa a
medicine. Ilaron Llebtg, the celebrat
ed German chemist, has demonstrat
ed that as much flour as will lie on
the polut of a table knife contains as
much nutrition as "eight pints of the
best beer made."
"My Son, Give Me Thine Heart."
"Daniel purposed in his hearC" I
That's the trouble with a great many
people; they purpose to do right, but !
only purpose In their heads, and that
doesn't amount to much. If you are
going to be Christians, you must pur- ;
pose to serve God away down in your i
hearts. "With the heart man believ- !
eth unto righteousness. ' D, L.

THE TURNSTONB BIRD.
The turnstone Is found in almost
every part of the globe. It breeds
in the Arctic reglonB and during the
migration period is found in the
Eastern United States. It derives Its
namo from turning over stones and
pebbles In search of food. This It
does with singular dexterity. In Bomo
sections It la called the horsefoot
anlpe, from its partiality for tho eggs
or spawn of the klugcrab or horse
foot, it is a small bird, tiles with a
loud, twittering note, and runs with
Its, wings lowerod. They are rather
shy, and, from the peculiar character
of their food, not raukod among the
best for the table. Other uamea
given to the turnstone are calico bird,
brant bird and beach bird. It Is a
good swimmer, moves rapidly and
does not fraternize much with tho
other waders.- BUI Crockett, in the
New York Press.

Newspapers and Money-Making.
Newspapers, it seems New York
newspapers, at any rate should re
ceive more credit than they get for
being In business solely to do good
or In some casss to raise hob
and not from any sordid purpose to
make money. Mr. John Norrls Is
an authority whom wo find quoted
as declaring In behalf of the news
paper publishers of New York, that
there Is hanging over sixteen or them
an Increase of three million dollars
a year In cost of production. This
throe millions of added exponso he
divides Into $2,160,000 for white
paper; $600,000 nddltloual for com
positors, $200,000 for stereotypers,
and $100,000 for other labor. Not
more than four papers of the Bixteen,
Mr. Norrls says, can meet this In
creased expense and still make both
ends meet. Mr. Norrls thinks the
daily-newspaper business is the most
precarious venture going. Ninety per
cent, of the newspapers circulated In
New York he finds to be one-cent
paperB. The newsdealers, Mr. Norrls
says, make a vast deal of money out
of tho New York papers $1,(00,000
from the World alone; organised
labor takes an enormous sum from
them In tribute and wages $2,5')0,
000 a year being paid for labor by
the World alone; but tho returns 'to
capital invested in the newspaper
business Mr. Norrls considers so un
mtnf act ory as to Imperil the liberty
of the press. All of which brings It
Into the forum ot discussion bow
loug the present one-cent papers ran
continue to be, sold for one cent. One
cent buys at least a third less of most
coin modltles than It did whon oue
cont newspapers began to be the
fashion, but It buys more newspaper
now than ever. Harper's Weekly.

Hints on Qstchtag Hawks.
A New Jersey poultry keeper gives
the Practical Farmer his experience
In catching hnwks as follows:
Set a pole three or four Inches
through at top and twelve reet long
on a hill overlooking the poultry
yards. Set a small steel trap on top
of pole and tho hnwk Is almost cer
tain to get caught when he flights
on the pole. Hawks prefer to alight
ou tho pole. I have caught 100 In
three years, since I began. The trap,
of course, should bo fastened; other
wise, a largo hawk would take It
away. This boats watching nbout
half a day to get a shot at them.

Maine Farmer. The treatment nnd
cure are similar for all animals. Re
move the scabs by softening In warm
soapsuds. Prepare an application of
one nnd a half ounces of tobacco in
two pints of water, by boiling. Ap
ply several times at intervals, and
repeat after fifteen days to make
sure of destruction of any new brood
that may have been hatched In the
Interval. To make a sure job, s',1
harness and stable utensils should
be treated in same manner, and the

lime to the gallon.
Setting Gate Posts.
The matter of setting gate poBts Is
one that should interest every one
who has a gate to hang, for no mat
ter how strong the post may be and
how carefully it may be braced It Is
bound to sag sooner or later so that
the gate catches on the ground. It is
often desirous to set a gate post in
soft ground, such as around the barn
yard, or Just after a heavy rain when
the ground la too soft to do any work
in the field. In such cases it is almost
Two Ways of Setting Gate Posts.
impossible to set the post firmly, but
even In such cases this work can bo
done very satisfactorily by packing
small stones In the hole around the
post. This work might be even more
effectually accomplished If the post
were set In concrete, which is a little
more expensive, but will hold the post
more firmly than stonej alone. In
setting the post in concrete it Bhould
be tamped firmly as tho hole la being
filled up. After the hole is filled with
concrete the post should not be dis
turbed for several days bo as to give
the cement time to "set." Care must
bo taken to have the post exactly
plumb all the time while the work Is
going on as It can never be straight
ened after the cement hardens. As
gate posts are usually much heavier
than ordinary postB and are therefore
expected to last much longer than the
rest of the fence, It is always well to
use thoroughly seasoned wood so as
to make the work as permanent as
possible.
Another method of setting posts,
says The Farmer, Is by using two
large fiat stones to hold them In place.
The hole, of course, must be dug
much larger and before It Is 3et In the
holo one stone Is laid edgewise In the
bottom upon the side which Is to re
ceive the greatest pressure at the foot
of the post. The post Is then set in
the hole, half filled with earth and
the other stone placed against the
side of the post to receive the draw
ing weight from the gate. In this
way both stones receive the pressure
holding the post firmly in position.
Random Jottings.
The chicks have great appetites
as they bear maturity and they need
full feeding at that time. Keep a
hopper filled with good grain beforo
the birds all the time and then they
can balance any shortage lu your
feeds of the day.
Ordinarily, there is no advantng-.

This Is a good time of year to

Many farmers do aot know the
value of Kaffir corn as c ---
poultry. It has the same nul-Rlve
value as Indiau corn, but Is not ro
fattening and therefore is a- better
egg-prod uclug grain. The fowls like
It. The Bpitomtst.
free from lien and mites Is by means
of dust baths. In providing these
baths, it is well to bear In mind the
specific points which prompt their
Ut. While exercise Is an Important
thing provided by the baths, tho
main good they do is to relieve tho
birds from lice nnd mites, which
would otherwise make their lives
miserable. The birds roll and scratch
and fluff their feathers until the fine
dust is thoroughly worked through
their plumage and down to the skin.
The Insects referred to breathe
through pores In their bodies and
the fine particles of dust close these
up and the vermin die.
It will be seen, therefore, that the
dust bath must be composed of very
line dust to be effective. The dryor
and finer it is the better the fowls
will like It and the more good It
will do them. Some people mix fine
screened coal or wood ashes with
road dust and think that the com
bination Is better than either one
alone. A little tobacco dust mixed
with tho wallowing material is also
a good thing, as it aids in exterminat
ing vermin. The Epltomist.

How to Draw Poultry.
When birds are to be drawn the
operation should be performed Imme
diately after the pln-featherlng Is fin
ished or after they have become
slightly cooled, as it is more difficult
after thev are thoronehlv chilled A
sharp knife is essential, although
some dressers prefer to make the
necessnry incision with curved scis
sors similar to those used by sur
geons. Drawn fowls usually have
tho head removed also, nnd this
should be done first. Sever the neck
close to the head, taking care not to
cut the windpipe and gullet, which
can be more easily pulled out If left
attached to the head. Draw the neck
skin back and remove a short sec
tion of the bone, thoroughly washing
out any blood that may collect.
Finally draw the skin forward, and
tie firmly. Remove the Intestines
through a small opening, as a large
aperture la unsightly as well as un
necessary. Cut carefully through the
walls of abdomen, making the Incis
ion entirely around the vent, then
hook tho first finger Into the loops of
the intestines and thus pull them out.
Usually the heart, liver, lungs and
gizzard are left attached lu their
natural position, as ordinarily the re
moval of the intestines is considered
sufficient. After this has been ac
complished the cavity should he thnr.
oughly washed to remove all blood
and other secretions. A select pri
vate trade often demands that poul
try be even more carefully prepared,
lu which case tho giblets should be
romoved and cleaned. Cut the gall
snck from the liver, the blood ves
sels from the heart and remove the
contents of the gizzard. Cut off the
shanks after first removing the
strong sinews which run up through
the leg to Injure the quality of the
"drum stick." To take out these
sinews run a knife blado down the
back of the shank, between It and
the sinews. Remove the skin above
the sinews, and pull the latter out
singly by means of a strong fork oi
skewer. A atlll easier way is to have
a strong hook fastened to the wall
at the proper height. Place the point
of the hook under each sinew, which
can then easily bedrawnout. Thoblrd
is now ready for lying up. Replace
the giblets in the body cavity, draw
the end of tho drum sticks down to
the "pope's nose," and t4iere tie firm
ly. Finally fold the wings behind the
back. Birds so tied are usually at
tractive, always appearing plump and
chunky, due to the absence of sprawl
ing legs nnd wings. Broilers may
be attractively prepared for private
trade as follows: Pluck carefully
and removo the leas nnd sinewn no
above. With a heavy sharp knife
mane a cut each side and the entire
length of the backbone, severing the
ribs. Let these incisions meet In
front of the neck and below the vent.
This permits the removal of the head,
neck, backbone and entire intestinal
tract, and the bird opens out flat in
convenient form to be placed upon
me Droilor. The giblets should be
cleaned and should accompany the re
mainder of the carcass. Butchers'

attached to large rings which slip

hole near the lower edge of each
board a wire would tie t lie two to tbe
chain and not injure the board as

Qnlnlne For Children.
An English physician makes some
novel suggestions regarding the
treatment of children who are suffer
ing from malaria. Instead of admin
istering quinine in the form of pills,
he would make a solution (by a
method which he describes) and then
Inject it under the skin with a sharp
pointed syringe. He suggests that n
puncture be made In the abdominal
region In the case of a child able to
walk, or Into the deep tissues of the
outer side of the thigh in tho case of
a baby in arms. Tho aperture made
by the r.eedle may be closed with a
saturated solution of gum mastlche
In rectified spirit, and a piece of lint
applied. The quinine solidifies in the
tissues and Is absorbed in about two
months, during which time, says the
author of the plan, the child's general
appearance greatly Improves.
Wrecked by a Whale.
While cruising in the South Seas
the whaler Essei was furiously at
tacked by a cow sperm whale sup
posed to have been the mother of a
calf which had just been harpooned.
The whale had not been wounded
herself, and her attack was very de
termined. At her first rush she
passed under tho Essex and carried
away a groat length of tier false keel;
then, coming to the surface a consid
erable distance away, ahe appeared
to take bearings and deliberately
charged the vessel again, ramming
her with such violence that she stove
In the bows, while the ship rolled bo
heavily that the captain thought sho
muBt be dismasted. The case is mem
orable because the crev had to aban
don the vessel, and one boat was
never heard of again. Baily's Magazine.
Barred Out.
"Yvette Gullbert," said 3 theatrical
manager, "received me in Paris. She
was busy studying for her American
tour. She told me a pretty story of a
tiny American millionaire sho had
met the day before a little million
aire of six or seven years.
"This youngster, calling on her
with his mother, suddenly interrupted,
his play to ask:
" 'Mamma, am I rich?'
" 'Well,' his mother answered,
smiling and embarrassed, 'you are
not poor.'
" 'Pshaw,' he exclaimed, his face
clouding over. 'That bars me out,
then. Nurse read to me this morning
that the Salvation Army was going to
distribute $25,000 in toys and candy
this winter, but it 1b for poor children
only.' " Washington Star.
A Wasp Tree.
The stinging tree of Australia
somewhat resembles a gigantic nettle.
It has an unpleasant odor, and the
natives and native animals are care
ful to avoid it. When a man Is stung
by the tree, or, to put It more prosa
ically, pricked by the trees's thorn,
the little wound gives at flrBt no pain
whatever. But In a few minutes a
maddening pain is set up, and the
victim shrieks and rolls on the
ground. For months afterward, when
water touches the stung part, great
agony ensues. Dogs, when stung,
rush about with piteous whlneB, bit
ing pieces of flesh from tbe place that
has been affected. - Btrininghajii

Text, Rom. 14: IT Memory
Verses, 10-21.
The nub of the lesson Is to be
found In the stumbling block and tbe
Judgment seat.
We are to be scrupulous In all
things as well as in the uso of intoxi
cating liquors lest we shall be stum
bling blocks. And we are further to
be very careful because we are to
render account heforn the judgment
seat of the Almighty according to our
deeds In this life.
It Is usual to apply this scripture
to the man or woman who uses Intox
icants. Especially Is It applied to the
Christian man or woman who uses
liquor. And It Is well. Drink is a
good thing to dispense with regard
less of our rights. It 1b a waste of
money. Its pleasure Is fallacious.
Its cousequonces are too uncertain
and may be definitely vicious. Its
Influence may be worse than we ever
dream It could become through us.
Taking all things Into consideration
It is no unwisdom to say that every
man ought to leave liquor entirely
' alone as a beverage.
But while It is the custom to re
member what we ought to do with
liquor or ought not to do with It In
Its personal relations to us It is quite
as largely the fashion to forget that
the most of us, especially those of us
who are given the suffrage of a free
manhood In this land, deliberately
place liquor as a stumbling block In
the way of men. And we do It by
permitting the business to exist at all.
We do It by granting it the right by
and with the consent of the Govern
ment, which In fact we are, to create
as well as to supply a demand, to
bring sorrow and misery and destruc
tion and death Into the homes of our
fellow-men.
It is not enough that a man shall
refrain from drinking Intoxicating
liquor himself. He must see to It
that so far as his consent at least It
concerned tho Government will not
be allowed to grant a license to a
business wblch the wholo Southland
for economic and moral reasons Is
getting rid of, which the courts of
the country have declared to be a
nuisance and to have no constitution
al right to exist, which Is admitted to
be u chief agent of the forces of wick
edness wherever It Is found, which
debauches government and destroys
theopportuuKy for multitudes of men,
women and children to possess that
peace and contentment and chance in
lite to which under the Constitution
of this country as under the laws of
Almighty God they are entitled.
Furthermore it is illogical for a
Christian man who has done his duty
in the premises so far as his civic re
lations to his own community or com
monwealth is concerned to refuse to
wage the fight relentlessly against
the national forces of this organized
Iniquity. For we are not simply a
confederation of States, we are a na
tion. And Massachusetts helps to
make the laws that regulate tho pub
lic policy of the State of Oregon. The
South makes law for the North as
well as for Itself. And If It 1b wise
for a man to refuse the sanction ot
his suffrage to the allied forces ot
the liquor business In tho State ot
Georgia it is no less wlso for him to
protest against a governmental ac
quiescence to its national existence.'
A man who is an abolitionist so far
as the saloon Is concerned In the city
of Boston has no business to be any
thing else thau that as a citizen of
this United States.
The liquor business will go when
the church ceases to allow it to be a
stumbling block :n tho way of a na
tion. And it will not go before. But
whether it go for economic or for
moral reasons Us end is In sight and
sure. For It is as unscientific as It
Is Immoral to allow It to exist. To
perpetuate it is to perpetuate a
plague and a national disgrace. And
we will not dj It.
We ought to refuse to sanction it
at all because of the fact that we
shall give an account before the
Judgment seat of Christ according to
our deeds done In the flesh. It it
doubtful that any Christian man will
upon sober second thought care to
admit in the presence of Almighty
God that by and with his personal
consent as a citizen of America the
curse of the American saloon, ruined
homes, blighted lives, sank precious
bouIb for whom Jesus died in the
mire of unspeakable iniquity. It Is
doubtful If any of us if we thought
of it carefully would care to have
upon our souls at the judgment day
any portion whatsoever of the blood
that has been wrung from Innocent
hearts by tho vlclousncss of the liquor
business. But so long as we perpet
uate it we are responsible in no un
real fashion for it, for Its crimes, for
Its attendant misery.
God grant that soon we shall all
see that to grant a license to the
liquor business is no better than li
censing a brothel or Incest or murder
or all the crimes upon the code. Qod
grant that soon the church will see
the blood that is upon her hands.
For we have stood so Idly by and
given our consent. Like Paul when
the church awakes to a consciousness
of her wickedness there will be an
exhibition of religious consecration
that will revolutionize the world.
A Suffolk Kullot.
A ballot on novel lines has been
taken at Glemsford, In Suffolk, where
the workers in a mat factory had all
received three months' notice. The
employers were approached and a
deputation of the men suggested a
ten per cent, reduction iu wages In
order to keep the works going. To as
certain if this would be accepted by
all a ballot was taken. Each man was
given an original "voting paper" In
the form of a bean and a pea, and the
voting urn was a plain jar. The bean
was a vote for the reduced pay, the
pea against. Seventy-five beans were
placed in tho jar and only nineteen
peas. Work will thorefore continue
at usual. London Globe.
Plain and Colored.
Thoae who have lived with colored
people know that nature has arrayed
all mankind In two solid phalanxes-
the white man on one side and the
colored upon the other. In the past

recognised. Tho claim ot racial tlea
and the struggle for racial purity has
always kept the division clear cut and

Signs of Hard Winter.
When the steamer Casslar arrived
recently she brought down from the
north a number of Toba Inlet Indians,
who are distinguished above all other
Indians for their wisdom in weather
lore. One of the red men lu conver
sation with another passenger said
that the, Indians up coast expected a
very aeVere winter and had already
begun to make preparations to secure
themselves against cold. Forest ani
mals, particularly tbe common wolf,
they say, are growing longer hair
than usual. This fact may reasonably,
enough be construed as pointing to a
evere winter, but In tho estimation
ot the Indians the testimony of the
wU. animals Is as nothing compared
