“There are no giants so large that
they cannot be conquered by him
who follows Go<l.’’
An omnipotent God might have
converted the world without elTort
on the part of his c hildren. He
might have grouped together the
constellations of the Heavens and
converted them into Temperance
Lectures; lectures that would warn
in letters of living fire the danger of
the eup that “biteth like a serpent
and stingeth like an adder,” but
such are not His ways. Through us
He ai ts for good, and upon us rests
the tesponsibility, under His guid
ance, of the success of the temper
ance reform.
We do not kuow of a more en
couraging sign of advancing civiliza
tion than the marked attention given
the temperance reform by the lead
ing magazines of this great nation.
Tlie large amount of space those
periodicals arc giving the various
phasesof the saloon problem is much
larger than the casual reader would
imagine.
Forty first-class magazines and
periodicals exclude all liquor adver
tisements Everybody’s Magazine
eliminates Worn its advertising col
umns all advertisements of whiskies,
beers, ales, patent medicines, cigar
ettes ami financial investments
which are open to question. This
magazine refused $20,000 of cigar
ette advertisements in one year. In
1’rohibition Maine the law forbids
any kind of liquor advertisements
within the state.
The Presbyterian church declared
in its last general assembly for "the
complete prohibition of tho manu
facture, importation, exportation,
sale or gift of liquor by state or na
tion, and loosing of property by
church member* tor saloon purposes
or making profits from liquor or the
ilgning ot any petition for a saloon.' ’
All other lsadlng danominatlons
have put themselves on record in
their synods, conferences and con
ventions as advocates and helpers in
the advanced reform movement of
today.
The Federal Council of Churches
at its last meeting in Philadelphia
took high ground on (lie Ternper-
,ce question.
...
At the close of the Twelfth inter
national Congress on Alcoholism
which met in London, .Inly 1909,
a new society was organized, to he
known as “The International Pro
hibition Confederation.” The ob
ject of the new society is to better
amalgamate the forces in various
countries with the one aim of the
total suppression of the liquor traffic.
Thirty-nine railroad companies
officially condemn the use of intoxi
cants as a menace to life and prop-
rty. The genera! rule prohibiting
the use of intoxicating liquors by
employes of these railroads in some
instances includes the use of opium
or other narcotic drugs and the fre
quenting of places where intoxicants
are sold.
The investigations and decisions
concerning total abstinence made by
tho managers of insurance compa
nies are valuable proof that strong
drink causes disease and shortens
life.
Naturally these companies con
sider the drinker a serious risk.
Tiie "Native Sons ol the Golden
West” now forbids in all its func
tions the use of any strong drink,
including the native wines of Cali
fornia, and propose to protect tire
young manhood of the Golden State
instead of the interest of the wine
industry.

The Senior class of the Sheffield
Scientific School, an important de
partment ot Yale, took a vote on the
favorite drink of the memben of the
alaas. Wat#* had 78 votaa and the
only other drink which received any
votes was milk, which was the first
choice of 12.
Multitudes have noted and been
influenced by the example of Mr.
Taft, President of the United States,
who, soon after his election, at a
banquet turned his glass down, say
ing it would ever remain so.
“Dry” banquets are liecoming
more and more in vogue. The Den
ver County Bar Association an
nounced that no liquor would lie
served at its annual banquet; that
as lawyers and judges they would
set a good example in this respect.
The declaration of President
Eliot, of Harvard, in regard to his
changed views of total obstinence
and no license, attracted world-wide
attention.
...
Nine states are now under either
statutory or constitutional prohibi
tion. Ten other states expect to
carry prohibition during the next
few months. More than half of the
territory of the United States is now
under prohibition.
About 10,000,000 people are en
joying freedom from the open sa
loon. It is predicted that another
decade witlsee the nation "dry.’’
' 1 Don’t stop praying! but have more
trust;
Don’t stop working, for work we
must.”
Mr. Job Soseliee, an employee of
tho Southern Mill for some time,
died at his home on Chattanooga
avenue the latter part ot last week
from a severe attack of grippe, from
which he had suffered for several
days, lie was eight years past
the allotted three score years and
ten and at his age the disease went
deeper and was harder to combat
than is fits case witli younger and
stronger persons. Many regretted
exceedingly to lean' of his death.
