It is not wise to daily or tempor-

made her mistake with the serpent
and his lying suggestions.

therefore we read, "Be not drunk
with wine' ' • 'but be filled with
the Spirit," (Eph. 5:18).
And the serpent, and Sa-aa
identified as we read of "that
serpent, called the devil, and Satan
which deceiveth the whole world"
(Revs 12:9.)
The word "intoxicate" means liter
ally to pohion'; poisoning is the
peculiar function of strong drink and
serpents. "Their poison es like
poison of a serpent" (Pea. 58:4).
"They have sharpened their tomence
like a serpent; adders' poison le un
der their lips" (Put. 140:3).
What about immunity from this
dread thing, etrong drink, alcoholism,
this Satanic poison that brings dm-
ease and death? There are various
"cures," which may or may not
work; there is only one obsolete safe-
ty in the matter. That safety is the
Saviour. He, and He alone, is the
Conqueror of Satan. When He np-

and nothing 'hail by any moms hurt

safety Semi the peril of strong drink;
and nothing less than Christ can

We are told to -day by medeed au-

tells us, the drinker' has "bale-

But the crowning climax of the
folly of the man who forid-

chapter. After the long list

Toronto, Oct. 19.—The 848muni-
cipalities listed "dry" before the On-
tario Temperance Act came into ef-
fect on September 16, 1916, will
have no place for the sale of either
spirituous liquor or beer..
Many of the municipalities nsted
among the 348, however, are now
extinct. For example, among those
listed as dry sections are Toronto
.Iunction and North Toronto, both of
which towns became part of the City
of Toronto several years ago, .Among
these are Lindsay, Mount Forest,
Parry Sound, Port Hope, Palmerston
Whitby and others.
On the other heed, Sault e Ste.
Marie (listed as a town in the 1916
list but now a city) is shown as un-
der local option since 189 L. .As this
1s on the dry list no liquor will be
sold there if the Ferguson Govern-
ment is returned. Yet, Sault Ste.
111arie showed a large majority
meting the Ontario Temperance Act
at the last provincial oleemite.
Many other municipalities have aleo
hown a reversal of opinion since the
oming a the 0.T.A. 10 years ago.
In 1916 there were no dry cities en
ntario. Four towns that are now
ities were so listed, however. These

Prominent Liberal Takes
Issue With Leader Sinclair
A. S. Bradwin Says Latter Speaks
Only For Himself In Opposing
Government's Liquor Policy
The Toronto Mail and Empire, the
Toronto Telegram and London Free
Press last Friday had the following
letter which is almost a joke. A. E.
Bradwin, former Editor, of the Blyth
Standard, and during the last two
Dominion elections, Conservative or-
ganizer for Hugh Clark in Brace, can
hardly be classed as a prominent. Lib-
eral. Here is the propaganda: --
Toronto, Oct. 21.—Albert Edward
Bradwin, one of Ontario's best known
Liberal editors, and who for many
years was assistant ,secretary of the
Canadian Press Association, takes is-
sue with W. E. N. Sinclair, leader of
She Liberal party, in a statement the
latter has published in answer to
Premier Ferguson's proposals amend-
ing the Ontario Temperance Act. Mr.
Bradwin, who has just disposed of his
interests in the Arnprior Watchman,
said to -day that he was going to sup-
port Premier Ferguson's platform at
the forthcoming election. .
"I don't agree with the statement
made by Mr. Sinclair," he mid. "In
that statement Mr. Sinclair emeake
only for himself and not for the Lib-
eral party at large. Premier Fergu-
son's policy Is not directly opposed to
Liberal principles. There are only 12
Liberal members in the Ontario Lege
ielatere, and over 50- per vent, of
them are opposed to the 0. T. A. I
am a Methodist too, and 1 Eirri not a
drinking man but in the inteiesste of
the people of the 'province I mint
oppose a continuanee of the O. T. A,'
Anyone who thoroughly uneerstanien
the situation and who has hae the op-
portunities to study its ,effect e cannot
conscientiously or honestly support
the Ontario Temperance Act.
"I don't want to see the open bar, '
but a$ the father of eight children, I
tun 'fearful of the further dee oteraey
of the morality of our yoeth. When
the O.T.A. WiLS voted on a few yeare
ago, I voted for it and so did my wife
under the mistaken impression that
we were doing the best for our chil-
dren. It did not take long eor me to
see the folly of that vote, and the
more I have watched and stud;e3 tits
question the stronger has my opposi-
tion to the 0. T. A. become."
Mr. Bradwin referred to the num-
erous death from drinking Rolm'
Iliquor in Ontario and contrasted that
condition of aeairs with the freedonc
from such calamities in we -prohibi-
tion days. He claimed that prohibi-
tion had been the cause of In increase
in crime in this province, just as it
had resulted in gang murder in Chi-
cago. Also he thought orohibition
had been a detriment to the province
in a business way. Travelling round
the province as he had occaeicie to do,
he saw many towns afflicted with in-
dustrial stagnation that were wont to
be busy hives of industry.
"I want to see a change," conclud-
ed Mr. Bradwin, "and so de many,
many Liberals."
