WE ARE EOM TO 8009800 011e FA119LY.
Espeoially are we bound as citizens
and under
government to protect t and
nurture the family, the home
a the
creative and indispensable unit of the
State, without which no State can proper•
ly exist, abolishing what ware against
the family life of the country, and pro.
mating what invigorates and establishes
the home ; not the home of the thief or
counterfeiter, or pimp, or saloon keeper
or distiller alone, hut the home of the
merchant, the fisherman, the lumberman,
the teacher, and the preacher as well.
TO GUARD AND STRENGTHEN THE MOMS,
we must defend and ennoble the individa.
al, the free moral person. Civil govern•
meet is an inetitotion of God, as also the
State of which the civil government is
the agency. So also is the church an
inetitotion of God. So also is the family,
the home, an institution of God. There-
fore family, State and church have their
respective spheres and need by no means
come or be thrown into collision, Kept
in their proper relation in their unbiased,
untrammelled exercise, they are mutual-
ly helpful and grandly comparative for
the common good.
Head, heart and stomach are organs in
that perfeot and harmonious unity, the
human body, each having its indiepens•
able place, offioe and functions. The
head cannot do the work of the heart ;
no more can the stomach do the work of
the head. But each doing its own work
in Ha own way, time and relations, you
have the strong, active symmetrical man.
No more is it to be appointed to the
church to do the work of the State, or to
the State to do the work of the family.
THE ILLS OF EARTH
and even the mutilate of centuries are in
no small measure attributable to the
perversions, failures, diegressions and
interferences of these high eppointmeMe
of the most high God through the, self
will and consequent blindness of man.
The human person, God the Creator,
the church, the family, the State, society
and the human race encompase man's
eexthly being. And because of the
fundamental relations of God and the
human person, vital religion must ran
through all political, economic and
ethical systems. Hare ie why the broad.
minded, far-seeing, religions, patriotio
and phiionthropioal man cannot give over
his fight againeb the liquor traffic.
CRANES THEY 8.0,
Cranks I they say ; but cranks with a
sweep as broad as the human race
through the coming ages of time 1
Cranks that turn the wheels wbioh roll
back the doors from the dungeons of
darknese, misery and death, and let forth
wretched, degraded men and women
into freedom and light 1 The liquor
traffic is the foe of every interest of
humanity and of every claim of the
righteous God. It is the despoiler of
reason and intelligence, of virtue and
piety, of social order, domestic comfort
end civil prosperity and peace. It ie the
utterly conscienceless plunderer of the
wealth of the family and the nation.

to the Canadian revenue. Is the Govern.
meut guiltless ? Are the people guiltless ?
Are we human 1 Are we honorable ?
Are we brotherly ? Certainly we are
not Christian when we raise our revenue
out of murder and arson and robbery,
out of ignorance and insanity ; seeking
poverty and disease ; a revenue out of
fallen men and women, desolated homes
and the tears of the wives and mothers,
and the wail of the orphan. There is
nothing setae abort this ; there !a nothing
manly, nothing noble. Our statesmen

name in this matter, MEI did a Gladstone,
a Tilley, a Galt, or should leave the
Government to men who can oarry it on

force our Government into partnership
with distillers and saloon keepers to
secure public funds. How, then, about

proud thing to be a Canadian. God and
true religion are at war with the liquor
traffic. The free moral and reeponeiblo
personality he at war with the liquor
traffic. The genuine churoh of Ohriet le

THE 11011E I8 AT WAR WITH TEE LIQUOa

Pore government and the State in
every essential politioal interest is at war
with the liquor traffio. Incorrupt and

liquor traffic. The brotherhood of uni.

Why, then, ebould it be perpetuated
Whyproteeted by Government? Why

A FIRM GROUND 1
The braciug air of the prairies in our
Northwest domain, in a reoent noble
sermon, gave us these solid positions, so
firm a ground for faithful men :—(1)
That eivil government is an ordinance
of God ; (2) that the civil Magistrate is
the servant of God, administering
righteous haw under a sense of lila re-
sponsibility to our supreme Soverign ;
(8) that the proper object and aim of
moil governmeut is the good of the people;
(4) that the governing power must miuls-
ter not evil, but to material good and
moral good ; (0) that the ligner traffic is
not for the good of the people either
materially or morally, because it eervee
no desirable end, meets no notated need,
does not conduce to any advantage to the
individual, the family or the State, but
18 all evil and evil continually, and there-
fore the Government should have no re.
lation to it.
A Klondike Missionary On
The Trail.
Letter Front Rey. John Pringle.
The following letter has just been re-
ceived by the convener of the home Mis-
sion Committee frmn the Rev. John
Pringle, Glenora. It will doubtless be
read with interest as well as sympathy
for missionaries who have to undergo
such privations And hardships in the
Yukon region :
GLENORA, B. 0., 171n AUGUST, 1808.
Dean Du. 000lh008E, — On Thursday,
August 12th, I returned to Glenora after
a missionary journey of nearly 400 miles,
and of a month's duration. I left
Glenora on Monday evening, July Ilth,
with a paok of seventy pounds on my
back, and reached Telegraph at 12.80 the
some night. The walk of twelve milee
over a trail which is in its whole length
an ascent was quite trying. I had not
carried a pack for years, and the Buffo.
outing sensation which again and again
on mountain sides came upon me, as the
straps drew my shoulders beck and
pressed upon my chest, almost overcame
my determination to go on. By the time
I had reached the most difficult part of
the trail, about four miles from Tele.
graph, I had, "got my wind," but was not
through with my tribulations. The art
of doing up a peak is learned only after
long experience, and that I was without.
The result was that whoa on the most
dangerous part of the trail, on a jagged
rook on a steep mountain side, my pack
slipped out of the straps, and went one
way, giving me, stooped as I wee, a de-
oided impulse, on my hands and knees,
towards the river 200 or 800 feet below,
A few scratches on my hands and thins
and some hurt to my dignity were all the
harm that resulted, and after a perspir-
ing rest I journeyed on and reached the
tent of one of my old Stikine -trail friends
after midnight. Next day I "shed"
thirty pounds of my load, and got an old.
timer to put it into my pack -straps in
proper shape.
It was not a "plc -nit," as our Ameri.
can friends say, getting over the first
summit, twelve miles from Telegraph,
from which, as from Glenora, there is a
steady ascent, sometimes very abrupt, 1

strikes hie rays into canon and gully and

the snows, which his rays seem to have
little power to dissolve. North, as one
Tooke from the highest point of the trail,
is a quieter scene, a broad valley in
whioh lie two very beautiful lakes, and fu
the adjoining meadows feed many horses,
mules and oxen. Here and there you
see a tent, and rieing beside it the smoke
which tells of sapper being prepared, and
that man and boast have oast off their
burdens and in food and rest are fitting
themselves for the wearing toil of another
day. For it is wearing toil. Were I ask-
ed to say what I think hi the hardest
worts which man oau do, my answer
would be, to oarry a pack day after day
as they do horn for hundreds of miles.
After that, following a pack train is the

olunbed the summit with 100 and 160
pounds, and then had courage enough left
to go on with their loads over 140 , miles
which still lay between them and Teeth',
Beyond this enmmit, just such another
scene is before yon, looking North from

scale. A broad valley running for fifty
miles, in which are embosomed a score
of beautiful lakes and innumerable rivers
an smaller streams,
d all swarmingwith
fish. The largest iver is the oty.
douly (phonetic). It is a beautiful
stream, seen from the mountainside
which skirts it on the North, along which
the trail rheas until the beautiful river,
with its broad valley and many lakes,
lies like a picture beneath your eyes. 1
withhold my judgment as to the valve of
this great and beautiful valley for grazing
purposes until I know what the Winter is
like as to severity end snowfall. Bub if
the temperature is moderato and the
snowfall not great, I think all the cattle
needed to supply the mining population
of this country might be raised and fed
here. Here and there, as I journey on, I
sec a tent, or a group of them, by the
roadside, and at seven o'oloolc I take off
my pack and camp with the son of au
English Congregational minister and his
companion, an old rancher from Texas,
„Abel,
The next morning I awake to learn
that the Jupiter Pluvius is on the throne.
But I thought that duty demauded that
I should press on. I ane wiser now. All
day Friday, with one stop between 0 a.
m. and 8 p. m., I trudge on through mod
and mire. The ramp is of the pereisteub
kind, which gives you no hope for au
hour's stop. You know it will keep on
longer than you can. That night I left
the trail, walked right up over a bluff,
where I saw a small "A" tent with a
great fire burning in front of it. I said,
May I boil some water on your fire ?"
The owners said "Certainly." I believe
I did not say ten words, until I had a
cup of cocoa made and had "got o0 the
outside" of two or three slices of bread
and two of cold fried ham. Then I
found that two of my companions were
from Winnipeg and the third from New
Jersey. I got a corner for the night iu
the tent of a Brandon mail not far away,
and, lying beside two Winnipeg way.
fames like myself, I was lulled to sleep
by the musical mosquito. One result of
my day's march was that my boots col-
lapsed, and they were my 0n1y 0n0s,
Next morniug I found that when I lifted
my foot the heel dropped away from the
upper a couple of inches. A. Minnesota
outfit gave me a pair of heavy rubber
packs when I told them of my predict!,
ment. 31 was afraid to put them on, for
they weighed about six pounds. I put
them in my pack and slopped along in
my dilapidated boots for ten miles, when
I reached the camp of john Brooke, of
Brandon. I took dinner, tools off my
boots, put on the packs, hung the old
boots on a tree, with the hobnails out,
and took a photograph of them and the
camp. It was no joke. I was 120 miles
from Teelin. I had only the heavy rub.

to the Tahltin river early Saturday
afternoon, fell in with the Cochran
outfit from Kingston, New Bruns-
wick, and was invited to stay with them,
Sunday it rained. Monday it rained. On
Tuesday I started for Long Lake, twenty
miles North, where more than sixty men
were camped, building boats with which
to descend the river to Teslio. I found
there a large number of our own people,
James Hogg, from Piaton, U. S., Howard
Fraser, Harvey Torey, from Trenton, N.
S., McAdam, from Los Angeles, bat of
Id of Lancaster, and half•a•dozen, the
urgle in whose throats proclaimed them
etyma of the "Land of brown heath and
'leggy wood." There I spent eight days,
eld live regular services, and had a
'sing" every night until 10.00 or 11
'clock. Then the "Colonel" from his
unk would say "Give us Old Hundred,
arson." Then from fifty throats would
ell out "All people that on earth do
