peared in tliiit paper as an apology
km him cniiiiiiiiiuiiin in the liquor
tiailie. They are posers and" we
shall await with ito little anxiety
the editor reph
As I read your article on "Thirst
for Liquor" the following questions
wcui'twl Uitnn:
First Is thirst so pleasant that
men select ft fiery drink in order to
create a still greater thirst?
ttVcnnd If they should eele t
lemonade, why do thev go to the
saloon to buy it? Or whv should
saloons sell cooling drinks if liquor
i oou for imri-lf
Third Is thequenching of thirst
so disgraceful that blinds are nec
essary to the saloon window? And
why should cards, eamblinc mu
sic, billiards and dancing be nec
essary concomitants?
Fourth As thirst is common to
all and according to your article,
liquor is required to" assitatre it.
why is the government so cruel as
to impose heavy licenses, thereby
making the quenching of thirst
such an expensive luxury- to the
poor?
Fifth If it is a legitimate thirst
that craves liquor, why are railroad
employers so hard hearted as to re
fuse to employ drinking men?
Seventh Why do all careful par
ents and the laws of many states pro
hibit it to the young.
Eighth Why should men sutler
more from this kind of thirst than
women?
Ninth If it is according to the
law of nalare, why do sab ons have
to push their wares to such an ex
tent.eventodisposingof beer-tickets
to children, giving them candies
filled with liquor, decoving them
into their parlors like the '-spider
and the fly," with card-playing
and drinks for the game?
Tenth Why have they to expend
so many thousand dollars in order
to keep their places in the country,
if it is only human thirst thev
cater for? whv docs not the
butcher and the Wker have to do
the same, for hunger and thirst are
to one as natural as the other.
Eleventh Is it not known to
other trades that the suply creates
the demand? What about that
new style Paris bonnet in the
milliner's window?
Twelfth What about the
countryman, who is thirstv about
once a month, just when he comes
mio lown ant the saloon odors
salute his nostrils?
Thirteenth-Why should the
liquor traffic be "entrenched in
politics. issuine the word of
command to both parties any more
than other munoixilies. if ita
business is to quench thirst merely.

How much better it would be if

chance a few drops of rain fall upon

housewife walks two blocks it
doesn't heighten our notion of the

tat confidence in her veracity to

over creation or even to hear the

"When 1 am weak, then am I
strong," was a 'uvoritti tmtail.ix with
Paul, But paradoxical' as it might
seem to some, lo Paul, the truth was
a blessed rtinlitv. Ho had put the
paradox to mo test anil thereby
proved its truthfulness. So lie could
say, 1 get a blessing from niv thorn
and gain grace from my iiilensnst
physical suflerings. Nnone can doubt
tlnit Paul was a better apostle by rea
son of the sulieriiigs and nllliciions
which he was compelled to undergo.
Pome one has said Unit God uses af
lliclions as flails, to beat out the dust
and clinll from our hearts and present
us perfect, grain for the garner of Uod.
Paul's weakness, overruled by the
pmvet of tlod, became to him as a
source of strength. Our weakness
iniiot be to us individtiallv a source of
real spiritual power. Weakness is
not to be courted, but we must first
discover our own weakness, or we
shall never apply to the source of all
power for the needed help. Where
there is no thirst, who cares for a cup
of coltl watert Invalid Christians are
often no better than robust tlbris
tinns. Men like Peter, who are liable
to be upset at any time bv some new
form of temptation, arc no better than
those who, like John, live almost
above temptation. Hut it is import
ant for every Christian to learn tbat
be has some points of weakness, some
temptations which are not easily re
sisted, some sins that are not likely to
leave him without prayer, ami a great
deal of it. Forgetfiilncss of this com
mon fact is liable to induce false se
curity. False security is the prelude
to a sad ami distressing fall, lit be
gan to fall when lie forgot that there
were serious spiritual weaknesses in
bis life, and lost sight of the danger
facing him in the fashionable, irre
ligious society of Hodom. Noah w ould
never have made of himself the sad
speclaeleof atlrunkanl, bad be known
and been sensible of his weakness for
the wine-cup. Knowing what we are
will help us to eet awav front our
selves. The man who feels himself
to be spiritually strong is very liable
to be little in earnest in doine the
Lord's work. The knowledge of bis i
ignorance upon the part of the scholar
is oi nelp to Hint only as he has a de
sire to lenrn. He is in as bail a con-
iiitnm as the scholar who assumes he
knows everytbiinr and that thn train-
ing of the best school is for bis mas
ter mint! superfluous. Hut weakness
realised may give us an inspiration to
seek strength. If a man want Hod's
strength, his religious failures will
prove to linn sometimes a liteasinv.
The man who imagines himself almost
a Uod is apt to preach sermons which
are as ineffectual as boiled peas shot
against uiuraitar s breastnoiKs with a
rubier gun. Weaxness manifested
always brings Clod's help. The blind
child, as he gropes after the way, will
nnu many sympathizers to lead hi
in it. the poor cripple in the house
hold receives double the attention of
any other member of the fainilv- Let
us not fancy however, tbat we are to
pride ourselves on our w-eaxuess. Th.
strongest character is none too strong

Some worthy men look with a

should be made to recommend and
make attractive the naked truth.
But, as remaked by Dr. Camnbell.
how much better for the niinist. r
of the gospel to write so as to make
the critic turn Christian, than to
write so as to make the Christian
turn critic It is not in human nature
to avoid receiving a powerful im
pression from a skilful choice and
collocation of words; and vh
should not religion avail itself
this means of giving truth a keener

I am glad to note that you have set

the man you represent me to lie, it is
undoubtedly the result of the training
received at school when quite young.
Vou state, 'seholars make a school.''
it is my opinion that the teacher has
more to do with the making of a school
than the scholars, and as the bov is
permitted to be, the man will lie also.
Now Mr. Kice if you don't like the
