They have begged to their god to answer with fire—appealed to inani mate matter with an earnestness that is pathetic. They have employed in the wor ship of blind force a faith greater than religion requires. But their god is asleep. How long will they allow the search for strata of stone and frag ments of fossil and decaying skeie-..: tons that are strewn around the house, to absorb their thoughts to the exclusion *tof the Architect who planned it all? How long will the agnostic, clos ing his eyes to the* plainest truths, cry, “Night, night.” when the sun, in his meridian splendor, announces that noon is here? A few days more—then, New Year’s Day..

May the New Year be rich rn opportunities for service and may we all employ to the fullest each op- | portunity as it comes. UPSHAW POURS BROADSIDE INTO PUBLIC OFFICIALS A Washington dispatch, dated, Dec. 26 says: Declaring that this is no time for pussyfoot utterances, Will am D. Upshaw, Democratic rep resentative to congress from Georgia, in a speech made in the House a few days ago, poured a broadside into cabinet member's, governors and other high-up federal and state of ficials who, though obstensibly ob- j serving the prohibition law, were actually contributing to the continu ance of the bootlegger and his ne farious business by tjjeir private booze drinking. He called on the high officials of the federal and state governments I to sacredly declare that they will not build up » bootlegger’s barbarous business by drinking illicit ’liquors at the same time they are denying the privilege to the poor among the masses. ' > He called on the governors who were in Washington attending a conference with /the president, and all members of the cabinet, led by the president and vice-president of the United States, to walk out in the open and take a new oath of allegiance to the constitution, adding that the plain people are justly j skeptical of many of these high of ficials who urge prohibition and laugh at their high-sounding pro nunciameqtos because they doubt sincerity. Mr. Upshaw .asserted that if the governors really wished to get any where with law enforcement and re form, they ought to begin on them selves. “The plain people, said he, be lieve that many ofe these higlr of ficials believe in that autocracy which claims the privilege of buying and ' drinking illioit liquors themselves, while denying that privilege to others. “Let the president and vice-presi- j dent of tlfe United States and all members of the cabinet walk out in the open and lift their hands before high heaven and take a new oath of allegiance to the constitution. “Let them sacredly declare that, regardless of what their tastes and practices have been, they will never again build up a bootlegger's barba rous business by drinking any form or any amount of illicit liquor at any dinner, at any function or in any ballroom or any back alley. “Let every member of congress and every United States senator fol low suit. Let every states and federal judge and every prosecuting attorney stand up like patriotic men and de clare they will never stgain person ally trample the constitution they have 8worn to obey and defend. “Let the president issue a ringing Christmas proclamation, calling every official to total abstinence for their common good*. No longer must these higher-ups say ‘go’ at the end 1 of an tdlcial lash—they must say ‘come’ in the glory and effectiveness of consistent leadership. “Let these officials be followed by society leaders, who serve illicit cocktails to dinner guests, remem bering that every such deed is more than ‘slackers’ in the presence of a common foe.” Mr. Upshaw Baid he had been au thor zed by Alvin Owsley, national commander«of the American Legion, to say on the floor of congress and anywhere alse that he would not touch a drop of intoxicating bever age in private or public while hold ing that office. .
