THE ADVANCE.
Mrs. Jameson : The bread of life is
love; the salt of life is work.
Tears are often the telescope by
which men see for into heaven.
In New York last year 12,432 wives
procured divorces from their husbands
on the ground of drunkenness.
R. Cecil: We are too fond of our
own will. We want to be doing what
fancy mighty things;, but the great
point is to do small things, w hen called
in the right spirit.
Teach self-denial, and make its
practice pleasurable, and you create
for the world a destiny more sublime
than ever issued from the brain of the
wildest dreamer.
Lowell: All men know not where
to look for truth save in the narrow
well of self, will find their own image
at the bottom and mistake it for what
they are seeking.
Temptations to do wrong confront
every person. To resist these is to add
to our strength and honor; to yield to
them is to stop down A**—the stormy
way of shame and sorrow.
George McDonald : If instead of a
gem or a CO uld cast the gift
a lovely thought into the heart of a
friend, be giving as the an
gels must (give.
The mo|e we labor for a cause,
ThemjgVe we prize the goal we win,
,~»-A'nd sweeter seems the rich reward,
When gates of victory let Us in.
The following prayer is found in the
writings of Plato : “Othou, who art
the King of Heaven, grant us what is
needful to us; whether we ask it, or
whether we ask it not I Rufuse us
what be hurtful to us, even if we should
ask it.”
Councilman Hendericks is not so
lonely as he was in his efforts to check
the spread of the bar-rooms. The 1890
Club elected men on his line and now
Mr. Hendericks has most excellent
company. All honor to him that he
was just as faithful in a minority as
in a majority.

have developed unto large crowds and
enthusiastic gatherings.
Dean Stanley: Each one of us- is
bound to make the little circle in
which he lives better and happier; each
of us is bound to see that out of that
small circle the widest good may
flow; each of us may have fixed
in his mind the thought that out of a
single household may flow influences
that shall stimulate the whole com
munity wealth and the whole civilized
world.

Personal.
W. B. Correll, formerly of Atlanta,
but now of Augusta, Ga., spent last
Sunday in this city. He says he likes
Augusta first-rate, but Atlanta better.
To Ye Banqueters.
Sam Jones, while preaching in Texas
last year, made the following remarks,
which may be applied to our Christian
(?) banqueters, and to those who take
a “little wine for the stomach’s sake” :
“You preachers ought to be mighty
careful where you go and what you do.
When you go to a dining look out, don’t
drink wine, for when you do your gun
is spiked. It may prove to be the ruin
of the children who see you do it.
The fellow who broke into the vestry
of the Episcopal church and drank the
wine Sunday night is not half so bad
as you are. Everybody will have a
contempt for him, but if you drink it,
you will iufiuence others and send
them to ruin. Brother if you get sick
and whisky is the only thing that will
save your life, go onto heaven. You
tell the people that it’s a heap better
piace than earth, then what do you
want to scratch around here for and
drink whisky? Go on to heaven.
“Well, they say, didn’t the Saviour
make wind 9 Yes. but he made it out
of water. Brethren, go and drink all
the wine you can make out of pure
water, but don’t put nothing else in it.
THE DEVIL’S GENIUS.
Free Lunches—More Food Given Away
in the Saloon than the Resturants sell.
The Rev. J. J. Reed, D. D., writing
to the Christian Advocate, sets forth
some plain and startling truths.
There are two things that cannot be
said about the arch enemy of mankind.
We cannot say he is indolent; we can
not say he is illiberal. Whatever the
ultimate diabolical end may be, how
desperate or how destructive, one
thing must be admitted; the devil is
most enterprising in accompishing
that end.
The professing Christian may be
prudent in all expenditures looking to
the conversion of the world; the
church itself may be very conservative
in using such appliances as may at
tract the curious worldling to the
fold of Christ; but, depend upon it,
the devil is very lavish in his expendi
tures, very bold in his enterprises, and
generous to a fault. His emissaries
are inoculated with the same enter
prising spirit. They offer every in
ducement to lure men, women, and
children into the broad road that
leadeth to destruction. “ The way of
the transgressor is hard,” usually at
the last, but the entrance upon that
way is made as attractive as the gilded
saloon and gifted siren can make it.
The theatre, the ball-room, the gam
bling parlor—the vilest dens of iniquity
—have their baits, their runners, their
procurers. The capital invested, the
labor employed in the electric-lighted
resorts of worldly attraction and plea
sure are far beyond what even thought
ful but unobservant men might sup
pose. Think of the unconsecrated gen
ius employed in producing the lascivi
ous romance, the demoralizing drama,
the corrupting ballet, the damning
pictorial press, and the all-attractive
but irreligious and immortal Sunday
newspaper, and you have only a frac
tional veiw, the merest glimpse of the
entereprise of the devil. It may be a
striking illustration of that enterprise
—we give in on the authority of one
who claims he does not guess, but ab
solutely knows; the amount of food
given away in the gin-mills of this
city with drink is greater than all the
resturants in the citysell. We have nev
er seen this statement|in print. It seems
astounding. We may discredit it. It
is given by a well-informed and relia
ble business man, whose occupation
brings him into intimate relations
with the failing restaurants of this
great city. It is something.to think
about, to inquire into and to profit by.

Demorest Prize ('outeat.
The contest for the Demorest medal
betwen six young ladies took place
Tuesday night in Asbury Church. It
was held under the auspices of the Y.
W. C. T. U, who meet in that
church every Sunday afternoon. The
contest together with two tableaux was
managed by Mrs. Sexton. The young
ladies all did well. The medal was
awarded to little Miss Trotty. We
wish to especially commend the selec
tions recited by the contestants.
They were good in word and most ex
cellent in sentiment. Such contest are
bound to do great good for the cause
of prohibition. We trust there will be
more of them in Atlanta. Let the
good work bravely and persistently go
on until everybody is fully alive to the
great ails brought on the community
by the accursed traffic in alcoholic liq
uors. The Demorest medal contests
aim to educate not only the partici
pants but the hearers. We hope our
lady prohibitionists will have more of
such in the near future.
Sawed the Saloon in Two.
Chicago Daily News.
Street Commissioner Patterson of
Kansas City, Kas., and his corps of
workmen, on January 22, sawed and
tore down the Kansas end of thenoto
rious Bill Lewis’ saloon in Toad-a-
Loup. The Missouri end is left stand
ing.
The saloon stood on the state line of
Kansas and Missouri, and Lewis ran
it without a license. The exact loca
tion of the line was never determined
until on January 22, and when arrest
ed by the officers of one state always
claimed to be doing business in tn
other. On Jan. 22, the state line was
definitely located, and the part of the
building found to be on the Kansas
side was sawed off' and torn down,
which proceeding is authorized by the
Kansas prohibition law.
THE EVIDENCE MILL.
What a Member of W. C. T. U. Saw.
The lliuor Law Violated n> Well as
Nuudiiy Lans Hegulniioii a Failure.
The “evidence mill G in full blast.
The machinery was set in motion last
week and everything is running along
smoothly. The following article was
ground out last week and handed to
us for publication:
Since Dr. Hawthorne has been pick
ing up evidence concerning the failure
of high-license, and the laws to control
the “ Demon ” in the' Gate City of
Georgia I conclude it will not be amiss
for a W. C. T. U. to furnish a few items
to help prove the Dr. is right when he
tells us and proves it that the situation
is appalling; and that our law is a dead
letter in many respects.
Out on Jones street one day last year,
I passed a beer saloon, on the door of
which was the sign “ No Minors allow
ed in here ” —I knew the city govern
ment had decided that no woman
should be allowed to go in any of the
drinking hells, for Mayor Glenn said
it was not proper, and that “drinking
liquor must be confinedfto the strong
er sex ”, but, I confess w’ith all that, I
was not surprised to see the saloon
keeper hand a pitcher of liquor to a
colored girl, who was standing just
outside the front door. He thus served
his master w ell, and no doubt laughed
in his sleeve at the men who pretend
they are able to chain and control the
spirit of evil.
Another day, I happened about three
o’clock one afternoon, to be in front of
a drug store on Marietta street. A
doggery is very near where I have no
doubt prescriptions (?) can be filled if
the drug store happens to “ run dry.”
I suppose I remained before that
drug store twenty, or thirty minutes, at
at the farthest, and I saw a procession
of men and boys go into that high
licensed barroom, that made my heart
ache with grief and fear. A cripple
soldier hobbled up and look through
the windows with longing glances,and
more than one young boy and girl
glanced at vulgar pictures about the
door. Nineteen men and two beard
less boys, walked into this inferno,
when mothers, wives, sisters and
daughters are commanded to “stand
back”, as if they were going into the
most delightful and most reputable
place in the city of Atlanta. A police
man paced up and down, before that
awful place, and if his eyes were
faithful to him he must have seen
those poor boys go in, although the
mocking sign on the door, says, “no mi
nors allowed in here.” Nine men came
out but where were the twelve? Two lit
tle children were carried in by the man
who wears a white and coat apron, and
came out smacking their innocent lips,
as if they two had tasted the devil’s
broth, and two glasses of something
that look like “the wine when it is red”
was carried into another store above
the doggery, to two women who were
not allowed to go where their little chil
dren could be carried, and w hom our
conservative mayor had said “they must
not drink.” But they came to the door,
from which the man had emerged onl£
a few minutes before with those dear
little children on his arm. Our saviour
said, “Suffer little children to come
unto me, and forbid them not, for of
such is the kingdom of Heaven ” —Was
that man bringing them to Christ ?
Who was guiltless in this horrible
transaction.
Sam Jones, while preaching in Texas
made the following remarks: “Do
you know why I fight whisky? I’ts
because saloons are legs for all kinds
of deviltry to walk on. Every saloon
is a leg for the devil. After a man is
drunk he’s ready for most anything.
One reason why I never liked Thack
eray as an author was because he un
covered hnman nature and made it so
sickening. Let’s change the situation
an uncover whisky, dishonored virtue
debauchery. Let’s make them odious.

PIERRE!
Phil. Armour, of Chicago, says:
,‘ PIERRE will be the next large city
in the Missouri Valkjy.” Population
today, 5,000; one year ago, 2,500.
A wonderfully fertile country tri
butary, abundant coal Within 60 to 80
miles.
The capital of South Dakota, which
in 1888 raised 40,000,000 bushels of
corn. A State, too, that in 1870 had
6,000 population ami tq-day has over
One Thousand Sunday4schools.
PIERRE is to be tA South Dakota
what Omaha is to Nebraska. Denver to
Colorado, Detroit to Michigan, etc.;
that is, the commerical and wholesale
center. \
