One Sunday in November is designated as "World's Temperance Sunday," and the regular course of International Sunday School Lessons is interrupted to make way for it. The study is less a study of a Scrip- pre passage than of a topic. Thrust into the foreground of all the world's thinking by the exigen- cies of war, the temperance question has made greater strides in the past three years than in the proceeding three hundred years. There has been a real revolution in men's attitude toward it. Sterm reality has lifted the subject entirely out of the realm of theory. It is now seen to touch he very vitals of national existence, High Motives For Ordinary Life. The fact is undeniable that Chris- tianity brings to bear upon the race new impulses, and erects within the spirits of mankind, new ideals There is nothing irrational in a World's Temperance Sunday" for the church and Sunday school. In this they are strictly attending to their own business. For the gospel has to do with the ordinary relationships of human beings, It is in the business of creating mew men and women. Cleanness, sobriety, chastity, self-de- nial, have been cardinal to its teach- ings. As the letters of Paul make clear, Christianity stands for, a type of character in contrast of that of the old, dissolute nations. This is vividly browght home to the traveler in Bible lands. Why is it that th once flourishing cities-- proud BEphésus where Diana was splendidly worshipped; Sardis, where Croesus reigned; Iconium, which boasted after the deluge--are now of interest chiefly for their ruins. What laid low the power of this proud Rome, I asked myself as my horse jogged down the echoing mar- ble highway, littered with broken columns at Ephesus, while the only habitation in sight was a shepherd's hut?. It iwas self-indulgence. Rome "did as it pleased'--and is now but a memory. . Christianity taught pur- ity; self-denial, love, and lo, it reigns in increasing power over the greater part of the earth. The callow youth who. eneers atthe old vir- tues of his mother's religion, should 4 go to the Hbrary and get & vodumne of general history. No drunken, self-pleasing nation never had 'a long lite. The reason the outlook for the Turkich Empire seems dark to many clogé observers is that the pecple themselves are not noble, broad- minded, pure-soiled and fraternal. Very divergent forces have been at work, in 'many different ways to ovefthirow the drinking customs of ages. There is first the open assault and direot charge of the regular tem- perance army, with all is divisions and weapons, its big guns and its amall arms. These have taken posi- tion after position and have been in the stress of hand to hand comflict, They are the main relfance of the be- The sappems and miners bave been at work also, by a patitmt proces of education tunneling under the very foundations of the mighty institu- tion. "More than one mine has been exploded with disastrous results by these skillful warriors. The fleet of literature has bombarded the forts from where it rides in the -offing. Great whthors and modern newspa- pers alike have poured hot shot into the liquor camp. Deprivation has been at work as a temperance ally.

Put an #rae! in every church in America, and the conditions with respect to strong drink would be changed at once, : The Little Lion and Big Dog. Some time ago in the Berlin Zoo- logical Gardens, saw a lion's cub and a grown dog in the same cage together. The dog was bullying the baby lion most thoroughly. It knock- ed the little beast over, and snapped it on variows parts of the body and in general played the part of a bully to perfection. A little boy was great- iy moved by the ill-treatment of the young "king of beats." "Never mind," "said his father, "this will not be for long. Some day the cub will wake to the knowledge that it is a lion and that its tor- mentor is only a dog, and that will be the end of Mr. Dog." ~ The incident illustrates perfectly the temperance situation in North America. The General Public is a lion, albiet young and unconscious of its strength. Yet it has suffered in- conscionable imposition and bull- dozing and terrorizing from the 'saloon power, which, after all, is only an ill-bred dog. The lattér has play- ed master. in politics, industrialism and society. There are now many %igns that the lion is awakening and that the indignities that it has too long endured are eoming to an end. The widespread assertion of popular rights is having an immediate effect in the direction of the suppression of the baneful power of the saloon. Th people have taken hold of the political and social and economic end of the liquor question with vigor, Enemies of an Enemy. How widely strong drink is look- ell upon as an enemy of the welfare of the individual and of the commu- nity may be seen seen by writing out even a partial list of the classes of persons who have registered them- selves as opposed to it. Perhaps, cor- poration, those modern, unsentimen- tal, and wholly selfish creatures of the new times, should be put first, for their judgment is certain to be based solely' on consideration of' self-inter- est and commercial effectiveness. To- day these corporations are shutting thelr doors to drinking men for the responsiple positions, Wducators say that the effects of alcohol are evil; and the report of the Committee of Fifty leading educators, by no means "temperance cranks," is one of the strongest documents this generation has produced. Doctors and preachers have both condemned drinking and pointed out its baneful effects, each from his own standpoint. Athletes put a ban upon it. while unexpected recruits have been found in bartenders themselves who have formed a society of total abstainers. No mention has been mage of that company, greater tian any of the others, who are sworn enemies of strong drink because*of the harm it has wrought to dear ones, Fettcred of Free. Life is becomings more intense every year. The struggle for 'exis- tence grows ever sharper. The for the free use of all of a man"s.ener- fes to enable him to survive and succeed has become a potent -temper- ance argument. A man cannot pay tribute to the flowing bowl and still have sufficient store with which to do business in the world. may have a food value in the sense that Profegcsor Atwater claims, but it is everywhere recognized that in the 'case of a worker it does not put more power into him, but rather takes power from him.

BRITISH ARTILLERYMEN SAVED THEIR GUNS Withdrew Them in Safety Be- fore the Big Teuton Drive On Italy. Washington, Oct. 31.--Word that the British artillerymen with the Italian army had brought their guns through the retirement without the loss of a battery was welcomed as indieating that General Cadorna's men 'were holding their organization in the face of the smashing Austro- 'German assaults. The 'British guns are all "heavies," big pieces that it takes time to withdraw. If all of them have been saved, American of- ficers think there is every reason to believe that much of the Italian ar- tillery vital to defense in a final stand also has been brought back. To.day's reports are taken to iff dicate that the artillery losses of the Italians, claimed by the Germans to be enormous, comprise smaller pieces and mountain guns. On the new line, laid out years ago as the Italian defensive front, there are emplacements, charted ranges, and other factors which will aid in stemming the tide of the enemy ad- vance.
