THE TENDENCY TOWARD HIGH LICENSE.
But to the student
subiect of an alto
T HE TENDENCY In both large and comparatively
small cities is toward higher licenses for saloons.
Chicago a few days ago raised the saloon license
from $400 to $1,000. Thejicense is New Yojk hss been
raised to $1,200, in Philadelphia and Boston it is $1,100,
Washington $800, and in Los Angeles, $1,250 why these
particular figures rather than $1,000 or $1,200 we do not
know. - Many other cities of various sizes' have raised
saloon licenses, or are thinking and talking of doing so.
One of these is Baltimore, and the News of that city
says: "The considerations in favor of high license are
such as appeal, we should say, to fuljy nine-tenths of
the population; the considerationa against it are such as
affect chiefly a special class. It would yield a hand
some revenue to the city, which Is certainly in need of
every possible lightening of its 'tax burdens. It would
diminish the number and improve the character of the
drinking places." ' - , ,

general conditions which .serve to crystallize popular
conviction are the same everywhere, the difference be

to quote In their pulpits the glorloas
description which Jsan Jacques Rous

Rousseau's life al Ihtt of a natural

possessing Christian life. -.
Verse is. it is one or tne mournnu
facta of history that high plaoa In the
church hae not seldom been held by
mea who have violated all precepts of
Christian livings Ministers have been
tipplers, priests liars, bishops lewa and
dodos monstsre or cruelty, jesus is
deeply eonverned for the eonduct of all
hie disciples, but he puts the emphaal
here upon the eonduct of teaehere of
rsllxion. That a man haa been greatly
successful as an evangelist will not save
him In the Judgmsnt Ood can use a
Balaam without giving Balaam reason
to look upon himself aa a child - of
heaven. The question le not whether we
have ahown the path of life to others, but
whether we have walked In it ourselves.
Verse IS. The state of ealvatloa la
new presented to us under another form,
that of personal fellowship. Those are
not fit for heaven,' who are not ftt for
oommtmtoa with Ood en earth. We
select our eompanlona because ef moral
qualities, because of Identity In alma,
purposes . and - belle fa It le doubtful
whether two men. not brothers, eould be
long associated in Intimate . relations
without Some assimilation ef spiritual
character. The laat part ef the verse
shows why Jesus did not "know" these
persons who elaimeeV hie favor...- He did
not make them his friends because they
"worked inlaultr." We "know of
good many people whom we decline to
"know." ' '
Verse It, No one realised more pro
foundly than our Lord how brief la man's
earthly life, but no one ao expucitiy
lays down the need of durable founda
tions. That la because our Lord's dis
ci Dies are not building aim ply for time
but for eternity. We do not hunt up
bedrock upon which to rear tents. The
sand of-the aeaahore la aufflctent for the
