Will Not Take Place of Prohibited
Opium More Danger In China
From Cheap Drug Substi
tutes Than Liquor.
Shanghai, China. In these days of
opium .suppression in China a good
deal of capital Is made by Interested,
parlies out of a fear that the Chinese
will turn to Bplrlts when the drug cann
not bo obtained. The whlto man may
bo responsible for introducing spirits'
to tho natives of Africa and other
continents, but ho certainly cannot be
called to account for their useln
China, In short, China taught the
whlto man tho uso of Bplrlts; tho na
tives of this country have manufac
tured spirits from tlmo Immemorial.
Recent reports in homo newspapers
ohow that a largo number of people In
Great Britain and America are much
exercised In mind over an alleged con
spiracy to inflict on China, which Is
making such strenuous efforts to get
rid of tho curse of opium, the debas
ing vice of excess in tho use of alco
hol. But, if it bo truo that the Chinese
are buying spirits from foreign coun
tries in larger quantities, which is
open to question, it must be remem
bered that they possess an Immense
variety of Intoxicating liquors. Any
Chlneso may set up a distillery and
sell Its products without let or hin
drance. So plentiful and cheap Is the
natlvo article that tho equivalent of
two cents will buy enough "sumshu"
at a street cornar to bowl over n navy.
It Is claimed by foreigners who ought
to know that to this day tho distillery
apparatus in a highland "bothy" Is
iho exact counterpart of that in uso in,
; Chlneeo "chlufang."
China's millions aro too poor to be
come a nation of drunkards, especially
on Imported liquors. The natives of
thla country havo thoir own wines and
spirits. Thoso who can afford to drink
wlno take it at meals, and even tho
poor find it cheaper than their favor
ite fat pork. No feast is complete
without wine; at marriages and funor
als it flows freely. Yet ono seldom
sees a drunken Chinese, and court rcc-
ords havo llttlo. acquaintance with the
"drunk and disorderly."
It may bo objected that oven foreign
spirits would be cheaper than opium,
at Itn present price. The roply is tnat
tho poor man docs not use tho original,
drug; ho gets cheap 6craplngs from
pipes and what is called dross, but
oven that in very small quantities.
At feasts and other celebrations tho
Chlneso indulgo in a gamo In which
one hand is kept behind the back and
tho other closed. Tho closed fist is
brought Bma'rtly forward and one, two
or moro fingers exposed. It A shows
two fingers and B is calling for two
then B suffers a penalty; If A is wrong
ho has to pay a forfeit. Among rich
Chinese I havo seen the loser suffer
tho penalty of drinking a "peg" of
whisky neat. But this custom pre
vailed conturies ago, excepting that
ramshu was then universally used. It
must not bo forgotten in this connec
tion that tho players usually withdraw
when thoy havo Buffered tho penalty
once or twice.
Thero Is no reason to suppose that
tho Chlneso will becoino a nation of
drunkards. Iu a decade In this coun
try I havo not seen ton drunken men
in the streets. In China, oven at
feasts, when men begin to get "red
In tho faco" they withdraw. The real
danger In China at tho moment Is that
drug fiends are hunting for a substi
tute for opium. Honco tho attempt to
regulate tho trafllo In morphia and so
called opium "cures." Tho Hongkong
govornment is doing a noblo work In
this direction and China herself has
roallzed tho danger that threatens hor.

Its high banks aro covered with flour

and Mainz Is tho part that is most
patronized by tourists, nnd steamers
run between theso two points, making

Tho trip is delightful either in sum

But In winter tlmo tho trip Is equal

Last winter when wo mado tho trip

hills without tho aid of glasses. Tho
dinner was Just as good as they servo
In summer, but not quite so stylish. In

great compotes on their tables. They
are marvelous sliver arrangements of

Thoy aro so heavy and high that no

All tho tlmo the steamer keeps stop

Thoy aro situated right in the hoart

water, both hot and cold.
Bonn has long been considered the

goes that threo loafers went to sleep

tho first voko up and exclaimed,
"Pretty day." Sovon years- passed,

Tho vision assures us of Christ's
sympathy. Ho is touched with a feel
ing of our Infirmities, having been In
all points tempted as wo aro, apart
from sin.
1 Though now ascended up on high

J.oseph'fl rude brothers were out of
place In tho palaco of Pharaoh, but
becauso Joseph was on the throno
-they wero Boon set at ease. Christ is
not ashamed to call us brethren and
we shall bo "at home" with tho Lord.
' Our Resting Savior.
Christ "sat" on the right hand of
God, for the work of atonement was
dono. Other men die feeling their
work Is incomplete, but he could cry
"It is finished." Mr. J. Hudson Tay
lor, when a boy, picked up a tract in
which ho noted tho words, "tho fin
ished work of Christ." He saw that
ho had nothing to do but accept the
gift of salvation and praise God; and
In a moment ho was saved. Will you
not do likewise?
Bishop Moule and a party of friends
stood one night in the Coliseum and
thought of tho countless martyrs who
thero had died for Christ. By the
light of tho moon ho read tho closing
words of Romans 5: "Who Is ho that
condemneth? It Is Christ that died,
yea rather, that is riBen again, who
is even at the right hand of God, who
also- maketh intercession for us. Who
shall separate us from tho lovo of
Christ? Shall tribulation or distress,
or persecution, or famine, or naked
ness, or peril, or sword? . . . Nay, in
all these things we aro more than
conquerors through him that loved us.
For I am persuaded, that neither
death, nor life, nor angels, nor princi
palities, nor powers, nor things
present, nor things to come, nor
height, nor dtfpth, nor any other crea
ture, shall be able to separate us from
tho lovo of God, which is In Christ
Jesus our Lord."
. Our Mighty Helper.
The verse following the text reads,
"And they went forth, and preached
ovorywhere, tho Lord working with
them, and confirming tho word with
signs following." Christ does not sit
idly on his throno; bursas Stephen
saw him "standing" on tho right hand
of God, ho rises to help his people.
The Gospels tell us what Jesus "began
to do and teach," and he is still doing
and teaching. If tempted to doubt
whether tho Lord Is among us, let us
recall bow ho shook Christendom by
a minor's son, Martin Luther; and
launched the modern missionary
movement through a shoemaker, Wil
liam Carey.
"But this man, after he had offered
ono sacrifico for sins forever, sat
down on tho right hand of God; from
henceforth expecting till his enemies
bo mado his footstool" (Hebrews
10:12, 13). Ho shall como to reign at
last. In that day, tho church will
share his glories as his own bride.
Israel will be restored and bo a chan
nel of blessing fcTall nations. Wars
and oppression will cease "and tho
streets of the city shall bo full of
boys and girls playing In the streets
thereof." "Tho wolf also shall dwell
with tho lamb, and the leopard shall
Ho down with tho kid; and the calf
and the young Hon and tho falling to
gether; and a little child shall lead
them. And tho cow and tho bear
Bhall feed; thoir young ones shall Ho
down together; and tho Hon shall oat
Btraw liko tho ox. And tho sucking
child shall play on the hole of tho bbp,
and tho weaned child shall put his
hand on tho cockatrico' den. They
shall not hurt nor destroy In all my
holy mountain: for tho earth shall bo
full of tho knowjedge of tho Lord, as
tho waters cover tho seas" (Isaiah
11:0-9). W blind girl said alio loved
