Wiliest equally active. For example,
there is Finland, which only a new duys
rgee, passed a 18w by enunimous vote of
the diet forbidding the manufacture of
alcoholic liquors in the duchy or their
lrrporialion from abroad. In Belgium
and in many of the Swiss cantons the

(Melfi l encom•ageulent to the sale of
cheap light wines, which are regarded
as an antidote to the more injurious

in Berlin the Bergman Electrienl
Weeks sense time ago forbade Its cn1-
pleyes drinking beer during working
hours. The employs rebelled, but were
oterconte, and they are now glad of it.
Whet is more, the socialist party in
G.•rtuany at its recent national congress
n1 Essen placed iL:If en record, with
or:ly one negative vote, against the use
o` ak•)liol in any forst during working
hours. The lenders of the party belies e
that wills improvement of the condition
el the working classes lttse consumption
et alcohol will diminish, and they regard
that goal as most eagerly to be desired.
Apstrt from such acts ns these by
grverniswnt or by indivkluats, the tem-
perance peopagnnda is everywhere more
vigorous than it ever was before. Arch-
bL'hop Ireland said some time ago after
a trip through Euro e: "I have discov-
ered that the warfare against alcohcl is
spreading over every cot,ntry on that
c .nlinent. There is not a single country
in Europe to -day that does not have its
annual conference of anti -alcoholic
workers, and this conference i; made up
of the feel and leading thinkers of every
country."

24, 25. if we omit the above clause
and interchange the position of vers s

considered by most commenlaiors to be
the probable migrant form and order of
the narrative. Some lime after the cap-

S:unsot's devotion to the God of his
people was, like that of bis generation,
of n primitive, though robust, nature.

The Judges mentioned earlier in the Look

But Samson leads no ainty into beetle,
