(Copyright. 1907. by Amerlran-Journat-Kxainlner.)
Talk faith. The world is better off without
Your uttered ignorance and morbid doubt.
If you have faith in God, or man, or self,
8ay so; if not, push back upon tho ehelf
Of silence all your thoughts till faith lhall cornel
No one will grieve because your lips are dumb.
N
OT LONG ago I read the follow
ing gloomy bit of pessimism
from the pen o4 a man bright
enough to know better than to add to
the mental malaria of the world. He
said; ' , ,
"Life la a hopeless battle In which
we are foredoomed to defeat. And the
prite for which we strive 'to have and
to hold —what la It 7 A thing that Is
neither enjoyed while had nor missed
when lost. Ho worthless It Is. so un
satisfying. so Inadequate to purpose, so
false to' hope, and at Ita best, so brtef,
that for consolation end compensation
we set up fantastic faiths of on after-
time In a better world from whlcji no
confirming whisper haa ever reached
us out of thq void. Heaven Is a proph- __
eey uttered by the lips of dekpalr, but here upon earth. I but voice the
hell Is an Inference from history" . j lymwtedge of thousands of souls when
-This Is morbid and unwholesome
talk, which can do no human being
thousands whom I do not know.
Of course, "life Is not missed when
lostf”—because It Is never lost. It is
Indestructible.
Life ever was, and ever will he. It
Is a continuous'performance.
It Is not "worthless" to- the whole-
some, normal mind. It Is full of In
terest. and rich with opportunities for
usefulness.
When any man says his life Is
worthless. It Is because he has eyes
and sees not. nnd ears and hears not.
It Is his own fault, not the fault of
God. fate or accident.
If every life seems at times "unsatis
factory" and "Inadequate" It Is only due
to the cry of the Immortal souj longing
for larger afiportunities ami fewer llml
tutlons.
Neither Is life "false to hope." He
who trusts the Divine Hource of Life
shall find his hopes more than realized

OUT IN KANSAS
By REV. THOMAS B. GREGORY.
Drug stores that sell no drugs, drug
stores In which one cannot but- even
a quinine pill or a dose of salts, drug
stores whose prescription cases are
simply the shields behind which clerks
may regularly serve Intoxicating drinks
—such Is the somewhat amusing story
that comes to us from tiler Hunllower
State.
We may easily believe that the story
Is true, for ln Kansas, and every where

quenched.
And yet there are thousands of wise
and gum] people who are stanch advo

people say, "We freely admit that pro
hibition falls far short of doing nil
that Ita friends desire' It to do. but It
does something. It does a great deal,
and for that fact, we should feel pro
foundly thankful. It makes It more
difficult to obtain liquor, and While
mnny continue to drink, others, rather
lhaft put themselves to the trouble Im
posed by the law, go without It and are
eventually weaned from the drink
habit.
"Again." tlie champions of prohibi

“If you will make and sell the ac
