corned. The conditions of the referen•
dem would not please all but in two res.
pante they seemed quite satiefaotory.
(1) We must at ibis eleption decide either
for or against Prohibition. To win we
must poll over 212,900 vote's or ono"half
of the total vote polled at the Provincial
election. Thee any man who stayed at
home practically voted against Prolti•
bition, There woe no half way course.
It was equivalent to Christ'° diotum, "Ile
that is not with me is against me." Our
appopents would probably try to get
many to not vote. (2) Owing to the time
and ofroumotances of the vote, it could
not; with any justification be claimed that
• in voting either for or against Prohibition
that you were voting for or against any
political party. The Christian prohibi.
tioniot who refrained from "voting for
political considerations, was undoubtedly
placing his political prejudices above hie
religious convictions. The speaker in-
tended taking a decided stand for probt•
bition and in doing so was loyal to the
reiterated sentiments of the highest
ohuroh court of Canadian Presbyter-
ianism. Here was a sample of the de•
liverances passed by the Presbyterian
General Assembly :—"Thie Assembly de•
claree its conviction that the general
traffic in intoxicating liquors is contrary
to the Word of God, and to the spirit of
Christian religion ; that total. Prohibition
would be the most effective form of tem.
penance legislation, and that it is highly
expedient that the State paes aprohibitory
law." Other denominational courts had
passed similar judgments.
I. The speaker first noted some of the
many ways in which the liquor traffio
cursed our land. It injuriously affected
the individual, physically, mentally,
morally. Authorities were quoted show-
ing the injurious effect upon almost every
part of the physical orgauiem. An ad-
dress by Dr. N. S. Davis, of Chicago,
President of the American Medical Tem.
Femme Ae000iation, was gnobed showing
the evil influence of even moderate drink -
lug and proving that alcohol was not a
food but"circulated through every part
of the body as alcohol, the same as ether,
chloroform, morphine and other drugs."
If then we were asked why dootors pre-
scribe it, our reply wae that alcohol like
areenio, strychnine and a dozen other
poisons was occasionally useful in treat.
ing the unnatural or abnormal condition
of some part of the human organism but
to the body iu normal health it was never
benefloial, never I The brain being the
centre of the nerve system was the first
to chow the injurious effects. Tho body
and the brain being effected, the will
power was also weakened and destroyed
and thus the foundation of all morality
was undermined. The effects upon the
race were much the Hama as upon the
individual, but with the powerful heredi-
tary influence added. Authorities show-
ed that ib ended in the (fourth generation
with idiocy, imbecility and extinebion of
the family. Careful eetimateo planed the
percentage of all oxime, due directly or
indirectly to the liquor traffic, as seven.
tenths. About seven•tenths of all the
inmates of the prisons, reformatories,
penitentiaries and poorhouses are there
through the influence of strong drink.
Gladstone bad said that the liquor traffic
was a more prolific muse of misery than
the three great scourges, fire, famine and
pestilence combined. In brief then, the
speaker held, the liquor traffio was a
grievous sin and if we wished to see the
awfulness of sin, of the yielding to mere
animal appetite, the boys and girls, and
men and women of Brussels, should but
look around them. The "awfulness of
sin" was the only expression in the Eng-
lieh language to adequately describe it.
"Sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth
death 1" "May God help everyone of us,
man or women, girl or boy, to live a Olean
Christian life, and to help toraise the
fallen around us, and what is Motas im-
portant and more praotioable, to help
keep from falling those who are, as yet,
pure and innocent and have their appetite
under control. Are we doing our utmost
ae individuate and ems a nation to keep
men and women from falling 7 We are
not I As Christians, we daily breathe on
bonded knee that petition, "Lead us not
into temptation," and yet as a nation and
as a province we are engaged, by means
of the licensed bar -rooms, In damning
men's lives for time and for eternity.",
The the o esker then turned urned bo notice
some of the main objections urged against
Prohibition. It was said that prohibition
was wroug in prinoiple. He believed in
moral suasion but he also belieVed in
Prohibition and so did its opponents if
they were consistent. Did they not be-
lieve in the ten commandments 7 They
are prohibitions. Every law on the statute
book was a practical prohibition. We
had (irohibition now even with respect to.
the liquor traffio. It was true it was
only partialprohibition but it was the
same thing in principle, and it was not
nearly so partial ae we were apt to think.
We have 899 out of every 400 absolutely
prohibited from the sale of liquor, and
WO have they entire 400' prohibited on
election days, ou every Sabbath of the
year, on every Saturday night after seven
o'olook, and every night of the year • be-
tween 11 o'olook and '-a. m. Then it is
argued that Prohibition don't prohibit,
and therefore, it is a bad' thing. By this
at'gnment theyimplieitiY,-admit that it

fore. If we believed that, then we must
believe in the abolition Of all laws against
stealing, perjury, and all forms of woe, as
the laws wgald only tend to ingrease the
evils: they were intended to mitigate. We
adroit that Prohibition would not , abso•
lutely prohibit. Neither do the laws
against stealing and murder absolutely
prohibit, but we all admit they check

this is all we hoped for, or expected of
Prohibition, But some said it had been

get Prohibition anyway." ,'Thie was
tantamount to an admission that it was
such a good thing that it would only
come with the millenium. Similarly
Wilberforce had been told that the aboh•
Lion of slavery was "The dream of a
dreamer, who dreams that he's dream-
ing," yet that dream was now realized in
actual feet and had been en untold bleee"
lug to'the human race. The abolition of
the liquor traffio would be an even greater
blessing. It was said bloat it would throw
a large number of men out of employ
ment, There were only two or three
thousand men in all Canada engaged in
the manufacture of liquor, a smaller
number for the same amount of capital
than any other industry in our land. It
would be the means of giving employment
to far more men than it would throw out
of employment, It was urged that it
would destroy our liberties. Liberty was
a good thing, liberty of the state, liberty
of the church and liberty of the individual
but it mush ,not be confounded with
license. Liberty was the opportunity of
doing right, not wrong and Prohibition
would conduce to this end. It was further
argued that there would be a great lose of
revenue. For the whole Dominion it
would only be about eight million dollars,
whilst the loss due to the liquor traffio
can be shown to be over forty millions.
The speaker finally enumerated a few
of the gains whioh would accrue from
prohibitory legislation.—(a) It would
make the liquor traffio an outlaw. To
many, legal aanotion was equivalent to
right. (b) It would abolish the treating
system which was admittedly the most
potent cause of evil. (o) It would remove
all public temptation to drink. It would
probably be true as it is in Maine that we
could still get a drink, by frequenting a
few of the pity dens but the truffle's re•
epeotability would be destroyed and few
would drink under such circumstances.
We probably could still get liquor by hunt
ing it, but our aim should be, God helping the farmer could well do without,

routine, but no change should be made
without due deliberation. All work
should be oarefully planned in advertent
and all tools and implements gotten ready
so that there may be no delay when oper-
ations actmllly begin.
Use of Time Tabes. -•All men employ-
ed on the farm should have well-defined
duties to perform so that their time may
be used to the beet advantage. A good
system provides for the feediug of stook
at regular hour(' each day. When stook
is fed and watered at regular hours each
day they become accustomed to the
regularity of feeding, and thrive much
better than if fed at different hours on
each succeeding day.
Care of Implements, A very common
source of lose is found in the negleot of
expensive ferns implements and tools.
These are left. lying in the fields where
they have been used, subject to all the in.
o emenoiee of the weather, whish are more
d. olructive than actual use. Small tools
are frequently lost, and larger implemonte

et'ory lam where implements may be
kept under cover,. and none should be left
outside when not to use. A workshop
should also be provided in oonneetion

time might be preven'ed by a little fore-

you for a.year's subscription and the paper would go direct from
our office on -date of publication. Send us in the names of your
absent relatives and friends and give them a pleasant surprise by
investing $1.00 for a 15 months' term.
