DOUBTFUL OF
DRY SUCCESS
i Smrprpe Tpst Ahf.ftfl Tenphv in
vestigation Eeveals: Trend of
Social Conditions Unfavorable.
Washington, Sept. 14. A belief
;that prohibition in the United States
lis facing a supreme test, with the
i final outcome in doubt, was expres
i ed Sunday night in a report compiled
(after months cf investigation by the
; research and education department of
, the Federal Council of fhurches.
i "No one can say with positiveness
what the ultimate outcome of thh
tet will be." said the re port. "No
cocksure optimism is v;.rrented. nor
is i'n--simism or 'defeatism' justified
by the facts. Much seems to depend
upon the development of public opin
ion ill the near future."
An "unfavorable and disquieting"
trend since 192u in the social conse
quences of prohibition was seen by
the investigators in statistics gather
ed from many sources, but the reiort
declared no available statistical data
could -be accepted as conclusive and
poiated out that the wholesome ef
fcts of prohibition are registered in
inconspicuous ways which cannot be
reduced to statistical tabulation.
Many of the claims made by those
on both sides of the controversy were
dis;ared as virtually worthless. Pub
licity material circ ulated with a view
to influencing public opinion was de
clared to have been based largely on
c,uw:ionable data.
"Prohibition publicity has suffered
much" said the report, "from careless
and unwarranted inferences.
Much of the publicity given out by
the prohibition unit in the treasury
department has been of thi unfortu
nate kind. On the other hand, much
unjust anii misleading propaganda
has been put out for the: purpose ed"
discrediting pruhii.it ion."
On the question of public senti
ment, the report declared, there could
be little doubt as to the mood of the
country when prohibition was adopt
ed, but since that time various ele
ments had somewhat complicated the
situation. On one subject, however
the saloon the evidence appeared
more decisive. It was pctcI that "there
seems to be not the ea?t (Tcubt that
the country has accepted with satis
faction the passing of the saloon."
Most of the data compiled in the
investigation was reserved for future
disclosure, but the section of the re
port made public Sunday night con
tained two sets of figures.
Or.e summarized the responses to
a questionnaire sent out to members
of the Xational Conference of Social
Work, a majority of whom reported
that conditions in the homes of the
poor had improved in various ways
under prohibition, that children's de
linquency was decreasing and that
liquor was less accessible than form
erly to minors. bu Ttiat drinking
among young people had incro.istd as
compared to pre-prohibit ion times
and general respect for law nac ce
creased. The other tabulation related to in
temperance as a factor in dependen
cy, and was summarized in the report
as showing that although there was
"a sharp drop" in such cases about
l'J2". there has been "very decidetl
and fairly consistent increases since
that date," although "there is an en
couraging number of cities that re
port decreases in 10 2 4."
SAVED BY MASONIC CHARM
Xew York. Sept. 11. How a Ma
sonic emblem once saved the life of
a white man captured by Chief Sit
ting Bull's Indians was recalled to
day with the death of David Wein
berg of Brooklyn. According to the
story, Weinberg was traveling by
stage coach to Deadwood. S. D.; Oc
tober 22. 1S76. Indians took him pris
oner. The redskins told him he would
die in the morning. He was taken
before Chief Sitting Bull. ,

on the prisoner, and informed thej

f BIBLE SCHOOL LESSON f
s" Sunday, September 20 r
4 By M. S. Brigg A
TV
Golden Text: "In everything give"
thanks." I Thess. 5:8.
Safeguarding: Civilization
Saul of Tarsus would have destroy
ed the early church had he not have
been shown the error of his ways and
had his eyes opened to the truth of
the mission and the gospel of Christ.
When Saul persecuted the young
church he did so thinking he was
doing God's service, and with all his
power and intelect he endeavored to
destroy the Christians, for he therught
they were in error. When he became
a Christian himself, he worked with
all his sterling manhood for the pur
pose of exalting the Christ which
had come into the world and given
his life for the salvation of those
who persecuted and so badly used
him. Thus, one of the things which
spurred Paul on ever to work for the
spreading of the gospel of the Mas
ter, was in order that he might in
a waj- do something to cancel the
evil which his early work had
wrought. Paul constantly had in
mind his former antagonism to the
church and was trying constantly to
repay the Lord for the love which
had saved him to work for the
spreading of the message of love and
forgiveness which Christ, the only
begotten son of God, came from
heaven unto earth to bring to man
kind that he might save them from
their sins and transgressions. This
is the Christ whom Paul, the apostle
to the Gentiles, sought constantly to
to exalt.
The letter to the church of Thessi
lonica was the first of the Epistles
which was written by Paul. Paul
and Silas, with Luke and Timothy,
worked in Greece and Macedonia for
a number of years and not as men
count at high salaries, for Paul made
tents and sail cloth from camels'
hair and by this hard and tedious
occupation was able to pay his way
and provide for those who were with
him so that they were not a burden
on any one. Xot that he was proud
and distant, for Paul was a great
mixer and able to aproach any one
with the burning message of love and
forgiveness as put forth by the Mas
ter. At the same time he was brave
and heroic and told the truth plainly,
fearing not the consequences, and for
this he many times suffered injuries,
being beaten many times, stoned and
put into prison, only to arise with a
smile and a determination to continue
tilling the story of the crucified and
risen Christ with even more effective
ness the next time.
In the opening of this lesson, he
calls attention to the way he was
treated in Phillipi. where he was
beaten and at Thessalonica where
thy had to flee to save his and
Silas' life. Paul had sought oppor
tunities to return to Thessalonica at
different times, but had not been
able to personally meet with the
church and its members that he
might strengthen them in the faith
of the gospel of the Christ.
He had, however, sent Timothy
to the church at Thessalonica with
a message of love and encouragement
and had been cheered by the report
of Timothy upon his return that the
church was doing well. So Paul had
visible reason for rejoicing and he
could well exclaim hi the language
of the Golden text of today's lesson:
"In every thing, give thanke."
Paul had planted well the seed at
this place where he had been perse
cuted by the Jews. the seed had
brought forth abundantly and a won
derfully active and hard working
band of Christians was the result.
While Paul always came back with a
smile and was ever thankful for an
opportunity to tell the "old, old
story," and in a way one that was
ever new, he had on this occasion
great cause to rejoice and be ex
ceedingly glad.
His advice to this church could
well be couched in the words of the
Master, when he commanded those to
to whom he was preaching on one
occasion, "Search ye the scriptures,
for in them ye think ye have eternal
life and they are they which testify
of me."
Paul was ever teaching the truth
in the Christ, by admonishing them
to "Prove all things and hold fast to
that which was good." For speaking
of the Christ, Paul said: "There is
no other name given under heaven
or among men whereby we may be
saved, except through this Christ
whom I preach unto you"."
Paul was safe guarding civiliza
tion when he was preaching the
Christ when he was writing the let
ters to the churches which are pre
served for not alone this generation,
but for the ages yet unborn to come.
This day and age needs churches
which shall have the vision of the
church at Thesselonica. with aP its
opposition, with all its persecution
of its members, that the gospel truth
may be given to all men whether
they may be in opposition or may be
indifferent or may be in ignorance
of the true gospel. The man who
takes up preaching of the gospel
must know it L a man's work, so also
every Christian must know really
and trully if he is indeed a Chris
tian he must work at Christianity
which is doing the Master's work as
well as telling the wonderful story
of his sacrifice. Loyalty to Christ
and his cause does not alone mean
to just be good and not bad, hut it
means to take up his cause when it
is assailed. Jason found in our last
Sunday's lesson that it cost to be a
loyal friend to Paul for he was ar
rested and haled in court, but it
paid just as it paid Paul to be loyal
to the Master and the church. So
will it pay every one who is faithful
to that one who died that we might
live.
Senility begins at home.
