This reminds me of a young man
whom I had the pleasure of helping
out of the toils of Roman Catholic
ism some time ago. I a sked him
why he had undertaken to train him
self for the priesthood when he had
been reared a porestant, and since
he despised their church (so called)
as he did all the while. His reply
was that he intended to join it so
that hq, might be able to reform it.
What would be your impression of
a man who hated snakes, and yet
\
was trying to find a bed among them
that he might tame them? Compro
mising is sometimes a deadly ousi-
ness.
I recently heard a doctor of divi
nity lecturing to young preachers,
end the concluding point'of the Inst
of his lecture was this “the dance is
here to stay, let us purify it,” He
had just been shoving how well
other forms of worldiness worked in
harness with the Church, and the
impression left upon his hearers was
that a spirit of compromise with appeals being made by -people not

What two years or Prohibition
have meant to our country.
Prohibition has come to stayl
During two years America has pros
pered under the Eighteenth Amend
ment and is mnkkiryg many steps for
ward to a higher life. Prohibition
was adopted as a part of our organic
law in spite of the most determined
opposition, and will continue because
the law-abiding God-fearing people
of America constitute the larger
part of our population. They be
lieve in law enforcement and will
back the government to the limit in
putting the ban on whiskey.
Besides many others there are »ix

only 90 died from this cause and
only 80 in, 1921. A report was made
by Robert Fox, vice president of the
Metrapolian Life Insurance Com

Canada there were more than 150,-
