.n order that, wemay be able to deal
eeffeesually withthe problem of the ex-
termination of the traffic in strong drink,
it is necessary that we should have a
proper conception of the magnitude of
the system. It is undoubtedly the
greatest question that presents itself for
settlement to -day. Viewed from the
-standpoint of a moral" evil simply, as
many people seem to regard it, we are
appalled in the presence of the dreadful
ruin rum has"wrought among the child-
ren of men. Considered as a financial
neater ,merely, it stands colossal and
commands the attention of political
-- economists the world over.
When we think of the physical degen-
• elation of the race through intoxicants,
involving as it does that other latest
and most deplorable phase of the ques-
tion—hereditary tendencies and weak-
ness—it becomes every lover of God
-and humanity to pause and consider.
"The half has not been told." Etern-
ity alone will reveal it. But in view of
these things it behooves us to see to it
that the methods employed are t11
best that are available.
What we want is as one has said:
"Mental suasion for the man who thinks.
Moral suasion for the man who drinks,
Legal suasion for the drunkard -maker,
Prison suasion for the statute -breaker,
not take risk on a drunkard for any
amount of money.
Drunkards are failures. They show
themselves weak to . begin with, and
both weak and wicked to end with.
They may start in life with fair
promises, but they wind up with bitter
disappointments.

W.C.T.U. DAY OF PRAYER.-
- October 1 has been appointed as a
-day of prayer the world over, when the
nlernbership are especially urged to im-
plore the divine blessing "for herself,
her home" her, nation, that the alcohol
au3 opium trades, and licensed and un-
°`l:censed impurity, may be overthrown
root' and branch, and that the glory of
God may cover the whole earth as the
waters do the great deep. -" Nothing less
_.is worthy of his promise and our faith.
"We also urge that a prayer -meting
of the White Ribboners shall be held on
this date, or on the Saturday previous,
_and that efforts shall be made to secure
the general observation of Saturday or
Ltanday, as will be most practicable for
for the local societies, but especially
= that pastors shall be requested to -preach
on the temperance cause, and mass
meetings in its interests shall beheld on
;Saturday or Sunday evening."

The last session of the Ontario Legis-
-"dature marked a distinct epoch in the
history of the temperance movement in
this Province. That the question 'has
et last "got -into politics" is amply'prov-
eu by the fact that the leaders on both
.sides were apparently so anxious to
;meet the demands of the temperance
element. It is plain that here, if not at
Ottawa, they begin to realize the elan-
- ger of any longer ignoring this large
and constantly -growing constituency,
_patticularly as the indications are that
there will be no retreat from the pres--
tent position held by the temperance
_people, but that : in the near future the
einestion must be settled, and settled
right. '
-The breaking up of the saloon power
d.5. lit, doubt a result of the law. If so,it
will ave eertainly brought us along
'way in our journey towards complete
Trohibition of the traffic in intoxicants
sur beteragert4poses.
Really; we -have iron -bound Prohibi-
lion now in a large part of the State, as
the saloons are done up and. very few
dispensaries have as yet been establish-
-ed. We may 'be able to speak more
"fally>-as- to the workings of the law after
it has been tried for two or three
Months.
While far far from what we want, it is
evidently a big improvement over the
- .saloons. iTaving abolished -the saloons
we sacrist hasten to dispense with dis-
pos ries;
Veery few mercantilehouses will ern
'ploy a ligan who is known to be addict-
ped to the cup. No decent neighbor-
hood, ,would invite a drinkiulg man to
in it .The drunkard may have his
�.chu" but his friends are few.
