(A paper read before the Kpworth
League Cenfercnce by Miss Edna
Flint, of Smithvillc )
1 will flrst endeavor to give a few
quotations from scripture pertaining
to temperance and strong drink.
First iu Gal. 1 I 2M, "but the fruit
of the spirit is love, joy, long suffer-
ing, gentleness, goodness, faith,
meekness, temperance; against such
there is no law." And in Titus 1 :7,
"for a Bishop must be blameless, ns
the steward of God ; not self willed,
not soon angry, not given to wine,
no striker, not given to IUthy*lucure;
butu lover of hospitality, a lover of
good men, sober, just, holy, temper
at.)." And in II I'eter 1 :." •(>, "and
besides this, giving all diligence, add
to your faith virtue; and to virtue
knowledge; and to knowledge tem-
perance , and to temperance patience ;
and to patience Godliness.
Now, how can a man, if he is not
temperate, be not angry ? And if he
is given to strong drink, how can he
possess gentleness, goodness, meek-
ness and faith? Doth not wine make
a man the very opposite? Does it
not anger? Does it not rob him of
gentleness and goodness? Does it
not convert a man into a seeming
brute? And how can such a man
possess godliness?
Rut as to strong drink, we read in
I'rov. 22:1, "wine is a mocker,
strong drink is raging, and wh so-
ever is deceived thereby is not wise.''
And I'rov. 23:20-81-51- 2l "Be not
among wineblbbers; among riotors
eaters of llesh ; for the drunkard and
glutton shall come to poverty ; and
drowsiness shall clothe a man with
rags." "Look not thou upon the
wine when it is red, when il giveth
his color in the cup, when it tnoveth
itself aright. At the last it bitclh
like a serpent and stingeth like an
adder. Now, we know that he. who
lovcth strong drink, loveth pleasure,
and we know that such a one can
never be rich. Even if he is rich in
this world's goods, how can he be in
the uoxt. For how can a man, drunk
ttith wine be tilled with the spirit?
Eph. f>: 18.
Now, to my subject, "Temperance
and its Future Aspect." Some of our
t uiiporance workers lose heart and
become discouraged iu the seeming
slowness in which their cause i-< pro-
gressing, and I would ask, should we
question the future of the temperance
cause? What proof have we of its
stride. To be sure it Is slow, too
slow fur the enthusiasm of its work-
ers. but I would quote the old adage,
"Rome wasn't built in a day."
l ake, for instance, the progress of
the world in civilization and religion.
Mas il not been years, yea hundreds
of 3cars, iu reaching its present sta-
tion? And will it not ever be thus
to the end? Think of the many good
men and women, earnest workers iu
this cause, who when all seemed
darkest and had almost given up in
despair as they saw what slow pro-
gress they made, yet they toiled on.
Thus the world has reached its pre-
sent station in civilization, religion
and temperance. Thus our grand
nation has progressed from an un-
discovered world to the best and
grandest of all nations. Did Colum-
bus give up in despair when he could
not procure the ships to carry out his
plan? If he had, where would our
great nation be today? Think of
martyry who have died at the stake,
1
! who, even iu the face of death, turn-
ed not from their cause. Nor was
all this done by one person alone,
nor was it all done in a lifetime, but
many, many earnest and brave work-

Can we question as to the outlook?
While the saloon and gambling

do you wonder at the sometimes
seemingly gloomy outlook for the
temperance cause? But, thank God,

ahead a rift in the dark cloud, and
the glorious sunlight streaming down
upon a new nation. The Loyal Tem-
perance Legion can be seen advanc-
ing with banners unfurled to the
pure breeze that lloats o'er a land
that knows no crime and poverty—
"Tremble, King Alcohol, we shall
grow up." Well may the monster
king tremble, for he who has held
the sceptre so long will soon be de-
throned. Even now the advance
guard can be seen coming. Thus
with patience shall this land come to
be the land of plenty.
"You caunol teach an old dog new
tricks, "but a young dog will learn
lo do almost anything you want him
to do, if you train him right. Thus
it is with human beings. We cannot
hope to do much with the old gener-
ation, but by training and teaching
the boys and girls of this land the
evils of strong drink, we can accom-
plish the object we lirst started out
to do. Then let us take heart, for
have we not already accomplished a
great deal. We live and work hap-
pily that we are among the lirst to
discover a "new nation." Let us
leach Ihe little ones the dangers
tdit ad. Let us train their mij^l^ juid
show them the folly and examples of
the present time. Let us care for
the orphans, feed the starving, pre-
pare places for them more enticing
then the saloon or gambling houses,
for the beauty and grand fixtures of
the saloon have enticed many a young
man to venture inside, and there he
has taken his lirst drink which has
afterwards led to sorrow, shame, dis-
grace and a drunkard's grave. Let
us keep the rising generation out of
bad company by preparing places of
inmicenl amusement, instruction and
pastime. This, too, has already
commenced, ami the V. M, C. A., is
doing its work along with lite rest.
So the work has already begun, and
we must not lose heart, but exclaim,
"Rejoice, for the time is at hand
when the whole nation hliall be for
God and Home and Native Land."

The recent landslip at Cromer,
England, is only the last of a long
series of catastrophies which during
the pasl thousand years have buried
more than a mile in the sea. One
looks in vain for any mention of
Cromer iu Doomsday Book. It
was then but a hamlet of the town of
Sliipden. BmtShipden has lain now
for many years at the bottom og the
sra. At the beginiug of this century
it was still possible to discern the
masonry of its church at low water.
But in Itt.'tT tin extraordinary gale
drove the sea to such a bight that
the very existance of the town was
iu peril for many hours. Since then
a breakwater has been constructed to
protect the town. The neighbor-
hood' however, is gradually disap-
pearing. At Sheringham a frigate
drawing 20 feet of water can now
ride at anchor where forty years ago
there was a u'iff .*>0 feet high. It
has been found necessary to move
various buildidgs inland. A light-
house was built in lTl'.l several hun-
dred years inland, but I11 little

died in Brooklyn. The old mother
whom he had longed to see was with
him at the end. For her be fought
The other day a couple of bunco
artists visited Farmer Henry Sloner,
of Valparaiso, Ind., and wanted to
sell him a lot of counterfeit green-
backs. It was a job lot, they said,
and they were willing to make quite
liberal terms on that account. Poor,
unsuspecting Farmer Stoner took the
bait, hook, sinker and all without
winking an eye. He drew from the
bauk 82UOO with which to pay for

and the surgeons wondered at his
hold on life. When carried down
San Juan hill they said he had only
two hours to live.
"I must live to see my mother
again," he said faintly. His lungs
had been pierced by a Mauser bullet,
but the intensity of his purpose to
return and tlie at home kept him
alive forty-live days. He died in St.
I'eter's Hospital holding his mother's
hand, anil his last smile was for her.
When the hospital ship Relief ar-
rived the surgeon sent Scanlan's mo-
ther a telegram telling her that her
boy had come home and wanted lo
see her on hoard the ship.
With her daughter Mrs. Scanlan
went down the bay and was greeted
by the man at the accommodation
ladder. He had been on the lookout
