The Peloponneslun war (4.11-404). The republic at Rome, gov erned by ronaula nnd military tribunee. About thla time Socrates waa teaching the only approach to a pure morality which Athena ever knew. Herodotus waa nearly through hli travela (414-400). Plato, the philosopher 1430-afiO), waa now a boy, listening to Socratea. Xenophon (444-354) leads the retreat of the ten thousand back to Greece (400). which retreat he haa Immortalized In hie Anabaala. There' Is no certainty as to the definite time when Malachl uttered his prophecies, because no data la given In the book, and the sins which he sought to reform were present throughout the whole period of Ezra and Netiemlah, from 458 through ths rest of the century. Most place hltn soon after Nehemlnh's second coming to Jerusalem, between 433 and "430. He Is plain spoken, and direct, with out high eloquence, or supreme poetic power, but abounding In effective similes, metaphors and Imagery which hit the mark, and do the work. What a London paper says of a distin guished man's straightforward speeches applies well to the sermons of Malachl: "A sound and healthy gospel doubly welcome because 'the world Is waking to the consclonsnesi of Intellectual and moral hunger which only these truths can satisfy." If we read the later chapters of Nehemlah nnd compare the sins and evils which Nehemlah labored to re form, with the sins and evils which Malachl denounces, It will be seen that both are laboring for the same ends, and realize the same necessity of reform. God was dishonored, and religion mnde a mere form and farce, by offering mean things for sacrifices, as polluted bread, nnd lnme and sick nnlnmls. by refusing to do the sim plest service In the temple without pay, by refusing to ry tithes for the support of the temple worship, hy being wenry of serving the Lord, by Intermarrying with the heathen. In all these thlnes they broke the di vine law; thoy showed that their ml-ds were all wrong. One of the peculiar g'orles of the Hible Is that from the very beginning Its go'den age Is In the future, not, ns In other ancient nations, In the past. And as the golden ngc must have a maker, God's revelation soon brines Into view the one. the Messiah who nlone can make the ape cf gold which Is the Kingdom of Heaven. Isnlah te'ls us that "unto us a child Is born, unto us a son Is given; nnd the gov ernment shall be upon his shoulder; nnd his name shall be called Wonder ful Counsellor, the mighty God, the everlasting Father, the Tilnce of Peace." In the last book of the Old Testa ment,' about 400 years before Christ was born, the last prophet brings the hoe and ideal and goal In the person of the Messiah, Christ, ti e Jesus who was born on the true Christmas dny. f'rhold I. God, will send my messen ger, one coming In God's name, and bearing a divine message, whose work shnll lie to prepnre the w-ny be fo'b me, the coining of God himself. This' messenger. Interpreted by our Lord himself on two occasions, "wns one who Bliould come In the spirit nnd power of Klijnh, doing the same woftt, rebuking sin. denouncing all wrongs, calling men to repentance, awakening the cnnsclonce. It Is possible that these words had a rartlnl fulfilment In Nehemlah, a foreshadowing on n smnller scale, of John the Ilnptist who completely ful filled the prophecy. Nehemlah's re forms were a part of the preparation for the coming of the Kingdom of Heaven, and fixed the eyes of the people on the great Ideal toward which they were slowly moving. There Is a nntr.rnl connection be tween religion, morn's, generous giv ing, devotion to God, on Lie one hand, and a genernl condition of prosperity, on the other. They tend to cultivate those higher moral nnd splrltunl (nal Ities which nre the source of mate rlnl clvillzntlon, nnd which are the grent enemy to the vices that nre the source of poverty. Hut especially do they transfigure all cnuhly things. nnd enhance their value, nnd bring I Into life the love nnd Joy nf tienven. j There Is no grcnter prosperity thiin the privilege of having seme pnrt In the e'evaMon of mm.

Kerr, Pastor of Fullcrton Avenue Presbyterian Church, Chicago TKXT-Oiie .0:1'1. thing tliou iuv..ea.. Mark This Is a character sturiv in black and white. The picture Is drawn by a determined hand and there is no hint of hesitation. Siroke follows stroke until the complete portrait Is before us. The story is as complete as It Is concise. It begins In comedy and ends in tragedy. The young man. Impulsive, optimistic and temperamentally en thusiastic, hurries breathlessly Into the presence of Jesus with the long hushed question of his heart upon his ilps, and then when our hopes for him are highest we behold him making what Dante calls "The Great Re fusal" and returns to his old life as 111 at ease and with his heart as hungry as ever. Let us not misunderstand this young man. lie was no comedlnn trifling with sacred things and then casting them thoughtlessly away from him. He was Intense, enthusiastic, a' nobleman at heart, and when Jesus looked upon him he fell In love with him. He had climbed the ladder of lawful am bition, and while still a young man was In the council of the elders. Honor did not spoil the humility of his heart, and In the presence of the Mas ter he bowed In graceful reverence. Richly endowed with worldly wealth, he was still more richly endowed with a nature rich In the virtue that make for righteousness , Jesus was Intensely Interested In this young man We read that "He loved him." I think he was Interest ed In him on account of his youth. Christ and young mnnhood, as has been Bald, are as magnet and steel. (Thls young man had all his life to live. The years wltn ail tneir possi ble achievements were still before him. Christ was Interested In this young mnn because he was rich. Riches and wealth meant power, nnd power Is an other name for responsibility. Jesus spoke hard words shout rich men and about rich men who loved money, who trusted In money, who because of their money forgot nbnut God. Jesus, however, did not despise a man be cause he was rich lie loved the rich young ruler. It was a rich man who bep;ed his lifeless body ns It hung unclaimed upon the cross Two rich men took his dend body and wrapped It tenderly In the choicest of linen and laid It away in a costly sepulchcr. Jesus knows and recognizes no class. Riches and poverty to him are but the tools with which character fashions cir cumstances "The man's the gowd for a' that." It Is written of hltn that "he mnde his grnve with the rich In his denth" There Is pathos nnd tragedy rti that sentence. "Must the Master wait till deaf' to dwell In the hab itations of the rich?" May he not make his abode with the rich In his life? It the rich man open the door and Christ will enter In to share his lono ly Isolation, and will satisfy the hun ger of his heart Jesus was interested In this young man because he was moral. His life was pure and his hands clean. For him a good name was better thnn great riches. He followed the quest or the best. He was one of the Knights of the Round Table, who had pledged his honor to "live sweet life of purest chastity." To gain the love and ad miration of Jesus It Is not necessary to wander off Into forbidden paths of sin, and to run Uie gauntlet of a dissipated life. For nil young nien who are fighting sin and the devil and carrying a clean consclen?e In the midst of contaminating clrouinstances Jesus has a wrm welcome. Jesus was Interested In this young mnn, who, with his youth, his position, his Influence, his purity of life, wns still dissatisfied and enme with the cry of unrest "What lack 1 yet?" This Is a wonderful thing that he should have so much and yet not have enough Jesus answered the young man's question by a command. "Come, follow me." In u great book recently pub lished there Is this striking sentence, "If the gods went their way and were satisfied, and the beasts wenb their way anil were satisfied, the unrest of man can only mean that he Is not rightly related to his' present life" Now, Is not that Just the truth? How can a man be rightly related to this present life In which he Is set U he leaves out God and revises to become rf tutccl to the eternal realities that lie all around him, In the world of truth nnd beauty nnd goodness? Are youth, and worldly honor, avid riches the only things that life needs to be related to? Out of nil these hnnian relationships the cry is heard, "What lack I yet?" And Jesus responds promptly, "You lack the love nnd the light of the pres ence of the God of truth." The human henrt Is homeless until i finds the Heavenly Fnther." Find rod, and you find rest and peace and satisfaction. Religion Is satisfaction. Religion completes life and perfects 'ove, and only In the presence of God s (e soul satisfied No sncrlllce is too grent to gain this great treasure "Sell all that you ave nnd gl"e to the poor if neces- ai'y." let nothing hold you back frdm Allowing after Christ In the life elf-surrender and loving service.., .ed by the Eye That Never Sleeps "I will guide thee with mine eye.''

SMALL DOSES ARE INJURIOUS Maintained That Temperance or Self Control ll Promoted by Total Abstinence From Alcohol. The Immediate effects of small doses of alcohol on the nervous system have only been demonstrated comparatively recently, suys an English temperance publication. Prof. Victor Horaley has lectured on the action of alcohol on the brain and nervous system, and has quoted the experiments of Kraepelin, who found the reaction time (1. e., the time between observing a signal and indicating that It had been observed) distinctly diminished by alcohol al though not consclouf ly so to the per son affected. These have been con firmed by Dr. Kellogg and others. Dr. Schmidt and Dr. Purer have published elaborate tables of numerous experi ments cd the action of alcohol upon mental operations, such as learning by heart, associations, requiring chief ly automatic movements, were at first rendered easier, yet these were soon done with Increasing difficulty, while the higher associations were, from the first, enfeebled. The Increase of automatic actions Is no proof of stimulation. All such actions are performed more readily when the attention Is not fixed upon them. It Is as would be the case were a narcotic to affect a horse and his ilder, but to affect the rider first. As tho grasp of the reins relaxed the horse might start off more quickly and more erratically, depending upon surrounding circumstances, because free from the check and control of his muster. As the Influence extended gradually to him his movements would become Increasingly sluggish. The excitement of the drinker Is the re sult of surrounding stimuli, not checked by the Judgment and will, which are at once enfeebled. Hence. It Is maintained that temperance, 1. e., self-control. Is promoted by total ab stinence from drugs such as alcohol, which weakens It. Other functions of the nervous sys tem have 04 en proved to be Impaired by alcohol, even In small doses, such as one or two tenspoonfuls, for in stance, the sensibility of touch, the acutcness, of vision and hearing, and the muscular sense.' In all these cases the subject la perfectly unaware of any Injurious alteration, and It can only be demonstrated by sensitive and accurate teBts. It may he truly said that the devil In solution is a devil of dissolution, disease and death. The Immediate effects of small doses cnn be shown to be Injurious by precise observa tions, but the effect Is cumulative and bec mes obvious ufttr several years of continuance. It Is this fact of unquestionable harm done by alcohol without warn ing to the drinker, both Immediately and ofter years of modernte drinking through chronic degeneration of tis sues which render the advice to take It moderately so dangerous, apnrt al together from the real risk of acquired craving for excess. I MAN 13 HELD RESPONSIBLE Saloonlst Could Be Put Out of Busi ness If Compelled to Pay for Damages He Does. T'nder the striklm? headline "The Ox That Wns Wont to Gore," the Ad vance (Congregationalism Chicago) presents nn editorial on the relation of present n--pects of the saloon busi ness to certain Mosaic rulings. Tho following is taken from the article: I'nder the Mosaic law the owner of nn ox "that was wont to push with Ills horns" was responsible for the damage he did, If that owner had knowledge that the animal was vici ous and failed to restrain him. The ox wns to be killed In nny case nnd his flesh wns not to be eaten, which was a testimony of the law to the sac redness of human life. If the ox killed another, the owner's life was forfeited., but be had nn opportunity to redeem his life by the payment of a ransom. Vnder this specific Mosaic statute we have the broad principle that a man Is responsible for the mischief be either does or allows to be done when he might prevent It. nnd this principle Is prettv generally em bodied In the statutes of all cMlled count rlrs. lint we make an excep tion of the mischiefs done by the sa loon evil, wl Ich are on the whole grenter than those resulting from nny other form of vice. Rut theve are Indications tlint public virtue Is Ftr"igthenli'.g In regard to this evil, nnd that the time may come when to siileonist will be compelled to quit his so-called business by being com pelled by the law to make compensa tion for the damages dally resulting from the ordinary conduct of It. A case recently came before the su preme court of the, state of Indiana. In which a wife sued the niim who sold her lutFband the drink bjr which he bcrnnio intoxicated, and In tho in toxication committed a crime for vlilch he was sentenced to prison for life. The court, reversing the decis ion of the lower court, held that uh t'er the existing law. dealers In In toxicating drinks nre responsible In money for the finmagos done to fami lies by the loss of the support of those who become criminals in the tiBe oi orjn , . k ,.. ,,,, niae re-fcrred o It was , , t tno wfo ,.0, rolled dam ages, If fhe could prove who sold her husband the liquor. This principle was. embodied In a statute In onto years ago, called the Graham law, but, ns wo remember the ciise, the lnw was repealed before It had hnd a fair trial. The difficulties of legal control of the drink tvll are very great; but "ist gain will be made, If we shall be able to throw the burden of sup porting the women and children made hellions by the drunkenness of hus bands and fathers, upon tho shoulders of those who make profit out of the misfortunes and sufferings of the In nocent and defenceless. A FEDERAL HEALTH BOARD. It Is gratifying to note that the bill for the creation of a federal health board will not be allowed to pass with out a protest. Reports of organized rlsfstance come from all parts of the country, and It may be that the oppo sition will soon be sufficiently solidi fied to defeat a project tbat promise! Infinite mischief for the community, and suffering and Injustice for the in dividual. The proposal is based upon those; specious claims tbat are notoriously hard to controvert. If a federnl health board were to confine Its activities to the promulgation of salutary advice upon hygienic matters, to the abate ment of quackery, and to the purity of drugs, It might be possible to say much In Its favor, although It would still be difficult to say that Buch an organization is needed. But we know that ll will attempt to do far more than this, seeing tbat Its adherents have loudly proclaimed their Inten tions. Indeed, there la no secrecy about them. It Is confidently expected that the board will consist of advo cates of one school of medicine only and that the methods of that school will be not only recommended, but enforced upon the nation. Indeed a board that was in any way representa tive of the medical profession as a whole would be stultified by Its own disagreements. Outside the domain of simple hygiene, for which we need no fec-eral board at all, there Is no Ingle point of medical practice upon which allopaths, homeopaths, eclectics and osteopaths could be In unison. Any board that could be devised by the wit of man must be composed of representatives of one school only, and this means that all other schools are branded as of an Inferior caste, even though nothing worse happened to them. And something worse would happen to them. If we are to establish a school of medicine, If we are to as sert that the government of the Unit ed States favors one variety of prac tice more than others, why not estab lish also a sect of religion and be stow special authorities upon Bap tists, Methodists and Episcopalians? An established school of religious conjecture seems somewhat less ob jectionable than an established sect of pseudo-scientific conjecture. Those who suppose that a federal board of health would have no concern with Individual rights are likely to find themselves undeceived. It Is fur the purpose of Interfering with Indi vidual rights that the proposal has been made We need no special knowledge of conditions to be aware tbat what may be railed unorthodox methods cf healing have mnde sad In roads Into the orthodox. Homeopathy claims a vast number of adherents who are Just as well educated and Just as Intelligent as those who adhere to the older school. Osteopathy, eclecti cism, and half a dozen other methods of practice are certainly not losing ground. Beyond them Is the vast and Increasing army of those who may be classed under the general and vague name of mental healers. Thofe who are addicted to any of these forms of unorthodoxy need have no doubt as to the purposes of the federal health board. Those purposes are to make It difficult for them to follow their particular fads and fancies, to lead them, and If necessary to drive them, from medical unorthodoxy to medical orthodoxy. Now the Argonaut holds no brief for any of the excesses and the super stitions connected with the care of the body In which this ago Is so rife. But It does feel concerned for the preser vation of human liberty and for the rights of the Individual to doctor him self In any way he pleases so long as he does not Indubitably threaten the health of the community. He may take large doses or small ones, or no doseB at ail; he may be massaged, anointed with oil, or prayed over. Just as the whim of the moment may dic tate, and probably It mnkes no par ticle of difference which he does. But he hns the right to choose. Just as he chooses the color of his necktie or the character ol his underclothing It Is not a matter In which any wise gov ernment will seel: to Interfere. This Is precisely, the liberty that the health board intends to take from hlra. Orthodox medicine, conscious of Its losses, Is trying to buttress Itself by Tederal statute, to exalt allopathy to the status of a privileged caste, and to create nn established school of medicine Just as some other countries have allowed themselves to create an establlthed school of religion. It Is for the common sense of the commu nity to rebuke that effort and to re pel an unwarranted invasion upon ele mentary human rights. San Fran cisco Argonaut. A Drain of the Company.
