THE ASTORIAN PUBLISHING CO.. JX WE NEED CHURCHES. A new ana handsome church edliice baa beeo completed and will be dedicat ed to the worship ot Almighty God to day. While everything compliments Its tmild-nt of th successful result of their labors, there are those who say: ,"We have too many churches already; why nut wore money in churches? What we have are not filled." If no more chur ches were built until those now stand m? v, tre used to their utmost capacity there would be no more churches erect ed. Under the same rule there would be no more stores or factories put Into operation but such a rule does not ap ply and wlU not work. The need of njore and better church buildings and societies in Astoria Is Just as pronounc ed as Is the need ot any other product of civilisation. That a low grade of morality, lax virtue, a couple of saw mills ana a few canneries have marked Astoria in the past is no evidence that It always will be so. "We will grow and expand to all departments, and the growth and expansion of the religious life of the city will be no small factor in the development of the whole. No more public spirited, patriotic and wholesomely educational Influence can h fostered in any city than that of Christianity, and no institutions will at tract to a city a more useful and desir able class of cltbten than those which it encourages.

" , HAVE YOU READ IT? When Benjamin Franklin was ridi culed in Paris lor his defense of the Bible he determined to lnd out how , many of the scoffers had read it. He Informed one of the learned societies that he had come across a story of pas toral life in ancient times that seemed to him very beautiful, but of which he would like the opinion of the society. 1 On the evening appointed Franklin read to the assembly of scholars (he book of ltuth. They were in ecstacies ;ver it, and one after another begged that the manuscript might be printed. "It is printed," replied Franklin, "and i is a part of the Bible." - On another occasion he copied and read to a company of f reethlnklng wits ' a remarkable "ancient poem." It was . received with extravagant admiration. "Who was the author?" ' Where did Franklin discover it?" He Informed them that It was the third chapter of. ; Habbakkuk. . , ; Wholly apart from Its religious and ethical value'the Bible Is the one book lcf which no intelligent person can af ford to be Ignorant, As Charles Dud And while not always painful are aggravating beyond expression.

THE SWIFT SPECIFIC CO., ATLANTA, GA ley Warner says: "It Is a question of general intelligence. Voltaire, who died In 1T77, prophesied that with 100 years the Bible would be an unknown book. The number of volumes ot holy scrlptude that come from the press now every 13 nvonths la about 8,000.000, more than the total number that saw the light during the first IS ecnturles after Christ. j ; The Bible, which In Voltaire's day existed In only SS tongue, is now be ing read, In whole or In part, in ovcri 400. One hundred and fifty of these languages were for the first time re duced to writing by Bible -translators. BEER ALCOHOLISM. j ,.. j Another alleged fact arrived at in the recent antt-alcohollc congress lu Berlin ts that beer drinking as a means of combatting alcoholism te a failure. The conclusion was that beer leads often to the use of distilled liquors. but In Itself it produces all the evils of whisky. "Of 140 patients who were treated In " a north German private asylum tor drunkards, 41 had been al coholized," said Dr. Delbruck. "by drinking spirits, 3 by wine drinking and TS or more than half by the ex cessive consumtlon of beer. The be lief that delirium tremens was un known among beer drinkers was a mis take. It was Impossible to convey by statistics the extent of the misery caus ed by what he described as "beer al coholism." Professor Crame of Got tlngen held that the alcohol habit Is curable If taken In time and treated at a suitable drunkard's asylum. London Post. AS ROME DOES. Here Is an Interesting bit of Infor mation concerning the old city, which is evidently much in need of modern missionary methods: In Rome there are one pope, three cardinals, 33 bishops, 1369 priests, 2S32 monks, 3212 nuns, making In all 7479 persons charged with spiritual call ings among a population of 400,000. So there is In Rome one spiritual to every 54 inhabitants, while in the large Protestant cities of Germany there Is but one spiritual to 10,000 Inhabitants. Although Rome is a city given to the sciences, rich In art, high schools and academies, still 190,000 grown people ex ist there who can neither read or write. Rome also has within her lim its the largest number of lawbreakers 83 to 1000 citizens. Of 408,082 engaged couples In the whole of Italy in the year 1897, only 204,098 could sign the marriage contract, that is, only 450 out of each 1000. According to Miss Susan B. Anthony, the welfare of the American people de mands that they shall have fewer chil dren and better-bred ones. Miss An thony is thoroughly convinced that many of the miseries of life arise from the reckles propagation of humanity. If men and women had a better per ception of the criminality of fring ing children Into the world whom they are unable to care for and educate as they should be, Miss Anthony thinks they would limit their offspring In numbers. Boys with hats on the back of their head and cigarettes and smutty words in their mouths are cheaper than old worn-out horses. Nobody wants them at any price. Men will not employ them; girls will not marry them. They are not worth their keeping to anybody, and they will not keep themselves. If any boy who happens to read this an swers this description let him take a look at himself and do what his con science says is best to do.

Then I was advised to use Electric Bitters; to my great Joy, the first bottle madea decided Improve ment I continued their use for three weeks, and am now a well man.
