W C. T. U. COLUMN.
This column has been reserved for the
use of the Wingham W. C. T. U.
and will be edited by the members
of that Society.
CRIME AND TIIE SALOON.
It is encouraging to find the churches
taking the open field in the fight against
the saloon. At the recent Methodist
Conference in New York, a resolution
was adopted protesting against the lax
enforcement of the excise laws, espec-
ially during the prohibited hours on
Sunday. In the resolution the saloon
is denounced as "the parent of crime."
It was a strong yet truthful character-
ization which Dr. Ferdinand C. Igle-
hart put in the resolution, and it might
have gone even further, for the saloon
with the traffic it represents is the
fruitful source of a multitude of evils.
It is the oppressor of the poor, the
blighter of character, the prolific cause
of idleness, poverty and pauperism, the
destroyer of men's brains and bodies
and one of the very worst enemies of
their souls. It robs them of health
and happiness here and heaven here-
after, for no drunkard shall inherit
eternal life. Yet all the votaries of all
other vices put together do not equal
the great army of the slaves of drink.
Tamerlane asked for a hundred and
sixty thousand human skulls to .build a
pyramid to his honor as ,a conqueror.
He got the skulls and built the pyre -
But if the skulls of those poor
creatures who have fallen victims to
drink, mainly, through the American
saloon, in a single decade, were tk be
piled up, they would make a pyran
that reared by the monster Tamerlane.
And it is a pyramid that is growing
bigger every year -ea ghastly pile of
victims that shames our civilization.
But the time must come, God willing,
when the saloon with its accompani-
ments of crime, misery and despair
will be a thing of the past. To hasten
that time and to remove this blot from
our country's fair fame should be the
earnest desire and prayer of every
good citizen. May it come soon!
THE KEY Td THE GRAVEYARD.
"If we can help one another, let us
do so."
The W. C. T. U. prayer meeting will
be held at the home of Mr. Palmer
Morden, Edward street, next Thursday
evening at eight o'clock. Every per-
son is invited.
There is said to be an old church
near Berlin, Germany, which is very
attractive to tourists. The graveyard
back of the church is kept locked, but
on a gate is the following notice: "The
key to the graveyard is found in the
tavern." This is an undesigned state-
ment of a great truth. A great army
of men annually find the key that opens
the way for them into the graveyard
by going into the tavern. They not
only unlock the graveyard to them-
selves, but oftentimes to innocent
babies and helpless women who are 'de-
pendent upon them. —American Issue.
A bunch of mechanics were chaffing
one of their number because he had de-
clared he was going to vote against the
saloon. In reply. he said: `Boys, I'll
show you such a reason for voting
against the salaon as you will agree is
sufficient." Going to his shop door he
called out, "Freddie, come here, lad-
die." A little lad of four years carne
into the shop, dressed like his father,
in overalls and a black machinist's cap.
Placing his , bright-eyed, rosy-cheeked
little boy on the work bench near by,
he said: "Fellows, this is why I am
going to vote against the saloon." One
of his friends, who before had iced the
chaffing, said, "You're right, Dave,
stick to it."
The minister of war of Denmark has
forbidden the sale of liquor in all the
army posts of that country.
The dollar the laboring man passes
over the bar at Mike's Place is gone
from him forever. There is no value
received in return.
