causing men to work fewer hours than

ing is equivalent to tin* sreviee of

the use of intoxicants in his palaces
for the period of the war, but when the
clergy and laity of the church of
England were asked to set an example
of self sacrifice in the temperance
cause, we are told that several mem¬
bers of the Convocation of Canter¬
bury voted in the affirmative only
after being assured that “total abstin¬
ence was not expected of them.’’ And
the Dean of Canterbury, one of the
chief dignateries of the Church of
England, refused flatly to swear off
altogether, “because it would impair
his health.’’ And this is the face of
the established fact that drink is an
impairer of health. Tie has announ¬

to seeing the men lie could influence
become sober citizens, and his coun¬

men fine religious leaders? So differ¬
ent from the teaching and practice of
John Wesley. We are told that an old
toper chanced to stop at a small Eng¬
lish town and was much upset that
he could find nothing to shake his
thirst except water, and inquired the
cause. TTi* was told that about a hun¬
dred years before a man by the name
of John Wesley came to the town and
that ever since the town had been
“dry." If we knew that any of our
preachers were not total abstainers,
what influence for good would they
have in the community.
The strongest sentence ever uttered
for prohibition came recently from the

STATESBORO MINISTER

suffered from stomach troubles so se¬
riously that they affected his work.
He struggled on unde r the handicap

haps, just how much his sickness was
hurting him.
One day lie learned of Mayr’s Won
lerful Remedy. He took the first dos e
then decided to take the full treat¬
ment. He wrote:
“Since using the six bottles of your
wonderful remedy I feel like another
man. Tt. has been quite a wonde r to
me to know how one could have a
stomach disease like mine and live and
do the work I did. I just escaped the
operating table.
“Now I can eat what I please and
it doesn’t hurt me night or day.”
Mayr’s Wonderful Remedy gives per.
manent results for stomach, liver and
intestinal ailment's!. Eat as much and
whateve r you like. No more distress
