H, LYLE Field Superintendent, Roy al Templars of Temperance Centuries ugo Mahomet said, "A man's true wealth is in the good he does in this worl. When he dies mortals will ask, what property has he left behind? but angels will en quire, What good deeds hast thou sent before thee?" In 'the stress and strain workaday world we ure often very apt to place the emphasis in the wrong place and magnify things that are secondary to the exclusion of those things that should always he in the fore front in our thought and attitude toward our fellows. So, casionally we see even brillant mén getting an altogether wrong slant on life, and because of an obscured vi sion, RIVINE voice to sentiments and half truths that altogether mis leading A Recent Statement An example of this is the states ment of Lord Dawson of Penn, made at the Canadian Club banquet in Montreal this week, when he said that aleohol taken in moderation is not harmful. "We take alcohol," he said, "hecause it adds to the relish und aids digestion of our food when we are a bit weary, a hit fed up with the day's strivings. Alcohol gets the mind out of the groove left by concentration on the day's work and helps it to roam over pastures new, brings cheerfulness and content and aids preparation for the next day's duties," "Take a Little Wine" What are we to believe in this all important = matter? Lord Dawson quotes the apostle Paul as saying to Timothy "Take a little wine for thy stomach's sake," which calls to mem. ory the fact that in the newer tran. slations of the New Testament, Mof- fatt's translation for instance, this statement does not appear, and the translater declares that it is net cons tained in the original text and has evidently, in some . way or other, heen incorporated in the King James version, But amide from this Lord Daw son finds himself among a very small minority of the leading medical and scientific men of to-day. Outstand- ing physicians, surgeons and scien- tists such as, the late Sir Frederick Treves, the lat¢ Sir Frederick Mott, Sir George Newman, Dr, C, W, Sal. echy, Dr, Arthur Evans of Westmin- ster Hospital, London, Dr, CC, Weeks, F.R.S, and the Tate Sir Wil. liam Osler, of Oxfard, to mention only a. few, hold a directly opposite view of the subject, and state with the utmost emphasis that the use of even small quantities of alcohol has a. very serious effect upon the hus man brain and nervous system, Man's Great Perogative ol our 00 The greatest perogative of man is to vise from a more or less blind ani- mal instinetive action to reasonable control, to fully pass judgment upon every de and sensation before al lowing it to express itself in action If n not for. the erercise of such control, our code morals might just as well be forgotten for men would become as animals, geek Ing only to gratify every desire, One outstanding characteristic of aleahol 18 that even small doses have a seri ous effect on critical judgment, The late Dr, Neol . Paton, one of the greatest physologists Scotland ever produced, said "Alcohol increases the pleasure of life by PARALYZ ING THE CRITICAL FACULTY," We have too, the statement of Sir Maurice Craig, the great mental 'and brain specialist that "There is noth mg which in certain persons is so rapid in removing a sense of fatigue or feeling of depression as alcohol It acts hy desensitizing the nervous systeni and in consequence removes the disagreeable sensations; AND HEREIN LIES THE DANGER, as most men estimate the value of a thing hy its immediate and manifest benefits, and seldom stop. to weigh any ultimate and maybe permanent disadvantage, am always seeing splenthid fellows who have either crippled themselves or their future prospects by thoughtlessly indulging in alcohol in early life, or have turn- ed 10 it to flog a fatigued, nervous system into further action, with the sequel, that they ought to have fore seen, It is the worst form of seda- tive, for the dose requires to be cons stantly increased." A Drugging Effect Sir Charles Sherrington, President of the Royal Society of Surgeons, in an address a few months ago said "Alcohol has a drugging effect, and so begins to tamper with the run ning machinery, The machinery it 'monkeys' is of the most precious kind, The kind of experimenting | do is such that it is no good taking short spells at it, and so it involves practically the whole of a long and very arduous day, with the result, therefore, that at about five o'clock in the afternoon one feels very tired. Well--=what should I do? Take al- cohol? No, most certainly not, for I know that it would mean disaster; and that decidedly is my own feeling about it" Scientists Agree Dr. Courtney C, Weeks, F.RS, in "Alcohol and Human Life," pube lished last fall, quotes the late Pros fessor Starling, Professor W, E, Dixon, Sir James Creighton Browne and Stephen Paget and remarks "Here are four testimonies, and they might be multiplied fram current scientific literature, and they alt cons verge upon one final verdict: That without signs of intoxication in the full ordinary 'or legal sense of the term, a man under the influ. ence of even small doses of alcohols ic liquor becomes an altered indie ire were of / hunter's e City DOOOOO00O0O0000000C Kindness to Animals When Coleridge wrote that weird- fy haunting ballad of the "Ancient Mariner," who wantonly shot the great trusting seabird, he was trying to get something across to his fellows and the thing he was trying to say was that cruelty to man or hird or beast is a crime that calls for the ven: geance of heaven, Strange to say, there are those who still think that there is something ef feminate in this talk of kindness to animals, They seem to consider it a mark of weakness--if they consider it at all=and that it should have little place in human life; especially life "out in the great open spaces where men are men, red-hlooded and strong On Furopean battlefields, up hy Vimy and Cambrai, there was plenty of red blood in the veins of men---and out of the veins, too=for the flover of Canadian manhood was there, A Canadian sergeant has heen telling us how he had seen some of those red hooded men stoop, with tears in their eyes, beside the mule shot down in the transport lines, giving i last caress to a heast they had come to regard as a comrade, There was a little hrown terrier that was a member of the officers' mess in one of the hig hospitals in France. He had the run of the place and used to come in to meals with the doctors, and he had the affection and the respect of every man there Sometimes he would take a sudden fierce coughing fit and dash out into the open until the cruel spasm went aver, Then, perhaps, they would tell something of his story, He had heen one of the dogs subjected to experi- ments in the medical laboratories in the days when the doctors and chem ists were madly searching for an anti dote to poison gas, And now he was an invahd, and those doctors treated the little terrier as a wounded com rade : And here we question Wis should like to ask a the soldier anything less of a soldier and a man because he. threw his arms around the neck of his dying transport mule and wept like a child? Were the doctors want ing in any of the red-blooded iron stuff which strong men are made he cause they treated the little brown terrier as a comrade in arms? Does any one think less of the men who govern the greatest nations of the world to-day because they declare cruelty to animals a crime and spend time and energy and money in making laws to protect the birds of the air, the beasts of the field and the fish of the sea? Stag-hunting has been a recog nized national sport in England for hundreds of vears British - public opinion is setting dead against it to In a very few vears that and all other sports involving cruelty to animals will he outlawed completely; tag, hare, otter, fox, pheasant, and all other dainty, timid, harmless, wild things of meadow grove or mountain will yet have nothing to fear from hound or gun, Is this a mark of degeneracy in the British rare "There is one thing," said Lafcadio Hearn, "that is alwiys wrong, pro foundly wrong, under any conditions." 'And what is that?" he was asked "To cause pain to a helpless creature for one's own pleasure." One can hear, sounding out in the sane and strong and generous heart of humanity, a great "Amen" to that sentiment, And the note comes deep est and strongest of all from the red: blooded ones of the open spaces, where men are not ashamed to own their kinship with all creation, he lieving that God really entered into "a covenant with every living creature," ol day, GOD WILL NOT CHANGE God will not change, no never, hut changing years may bring, The sunlight or the shadows, on time's uncertain wing, God rules what {s to he, The silent gloom of darkness, the lonely winter hours, The joy oft mixed with sadness, sharp thorns with fragrant flowers, May be our destiny Barth's light may shine upon us; Ah, yes! and then grow dim, But God is true for ever; there Is no change in Him. He doth our need supply, We trust in Him who loves us, to- day and all the days, We rest in this assurance, His hands direct our ways, His love can never die! My Pilot needs no compass, He needs no helm to steer; He guides my frail bark over, the winds of hope and fear, Hin sight is never dim, Through all the changing SOABONE, We may on God rely, We lia down in the refuge of a love that cannot die, There 1s no change in Him! Toronto, SAMUEL S8TRVENSON vidual and always altered for the worse rather than the better." The same' writer in speaking of an ads dress Lord Dawson of Penn gave in the House of Lords and referring to the above statement, says "It is such language and such calm and reasonable judgment that help us to realize what great disservice Lord Dawson of Penn did to the cause of accurate scientific knowledge, us well as to his fellow peers and fellow countrymen, when he spoke as he did in the House of Lords" Not Sure Himself Apparently, however, even Lord Dawson is not quite sure of the beneficial effects of alcohol, 'for in concluding his Montreal address, he said, "The alcohol you take 'into your body is burnt up and at a cers tain rate, Until ig is burnt up IT RESIDES IN YOUR BLOOD. For your hlond to constantly con tain alcohol deteriorates your tissues and therefore your health" Land of Fay By Catherine Dow Last night as 1 was falling asleep I heard a little voice say------ "Awake, awake, you sleppy-head, And come to the Land of Fay!
