A widow , whose only son was mur
dered by the canteen and at whose
burial the editor officiated -in sending
her mile to help on the fight against
the army saloon , asks : "How long
must the sons of Christian mothers
have the drink craving fostered and
perhaps lowered down to a drunkard's
grave by a canteen , sanctioned and
protected by the Christian president of
a Christian .nation ? " National Tem

When General Grant was in Paris ,
the president of the republic , as a
special token of respect , invited him tea
a place on the grand stand to witness
the great racing which occurs in that
country on Sunday. It 16 * considered , a
discourteous act to decline such an in
vitation from the head official of the
republic. Such a thing had never been
heard of , but Gen. Grant , in a polite
note , declined the honor , and said to
the French president : ' 'It is not in ac
cordance with the custom of my coun
try , or witli the spirit of my religion to
spend Sunday in that way. " National
Advocate.

Shall not the church today cry aloud
and spare not against the awful evil of
intemperance , the one gre t fronting ,
sin of our time , destroying more lives/ /
and homes than all others combined ?
Gambling and prostitution are its allies.
It paves the way for them both and
nourishes them from first to last. This
great sin ought to be met by the church
and the ministry with an attack equal
to its own wickedness and tremendousness -
