EVERY DAY RELIGION, KANOPOLIS, KANSAS. harsh, cutting thrusts which could well emanate from the mind of the prince of darkness himself. Aut alas! in her own system lurked the awful appetite for drink. Many times had she said she would rather die than to taste drink, and a thousand times better were it for her that she had died before she learned the taste of itl A number of her thoughtless friends, with less of the inherent craving for drink, used wine at the table and strongly urged her to do likewise, making much sport of her unyielding determination never to touch it. They plotted to ascertain whether or not she would like it if once induced to taste it, and she was invited out to tea.

When the hour for "tea" had arrived, all the other girls drank wine, and strongly insisted on her doing likewise, but she strongly refused. They were curious, she unsuspecting. the lives that curiosity has slain! Would that men were less curious to learn the tricks of the devil, and more honest in their dealings with God! They determined to know what she would do if once she tasted wine. They thought she would thereafter be less Unknown to her, her tea was mixed half tea, half wine, and when once she had but a taste of the dark beverage of hell she drank like one perishing of thirst until the last drop was drained, and upon lifting the deadly glass from her lips, laughed the laugh of a maniac. They asked in wicked glee, "Is it good?" "cry.

I'll take some more if you she replied. The glass was again filled, containing more wine and less tea. She drank it without lifting the glass from her lips, and immediotely called for more. In alarm it was refused her, but she plead and insisted, until it was given her. This scene was several times repeated, until that night she was taken home so drunk she could not walk.

Ah, painful scene to behold! God pity the mother! God pity the girl! Hear ye the voice of God: "Woe unto him that giveth his neighbor drink, that puttest thy bottle to him, and maketh him drunken (See Ilabakkuk 2: 15). She saw but few sober days from that time until her awful death a few months later in a disreputable house of ill fame. My God, wake the people! Wale the people! Cry aloud and spare not! Break their awful state of moral narcosis, and sound the death-note of the American saloon! Shall we be so calloused to the interests of our fellow man as to coolly view the havoc wrought by the drink trafliic in the propagation of disease, crime, misery and poverty on every hand, or shall we have the courag-e of conviction the genuine manhood to bear the blunt of battle, face the powers of darkness, and for the sake of suffering humanity, obey the command of God and remove this dreaded hell-trap from our brother's door? To the battle's front, every soul! Enlist in King Immanuel's battle for eternal right, and carry freedom to every soul by sin bewed down, and "the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing-, and all the trees of the fields shall clap their hands." Let it be borne in mind that the appetite, the craving- for strong drink is a disease, and not a habit. One may drink for a season through force of habit, but disease, inherent or acquired, is responsible for the gnawing appetite which makes the drunkard. It may, or may not assert itself with overpowering force at first, but must inevitably be developed by continued drink ing.

We may have inherited scrofulistic tendency, I and yet be wholly unaware of the fact until scrofu-' la asserts its "right of or cancer, until cancer develops; or consumption, until we have fallen its victim. Those disease germs lie dormant, awaiting some provocation, upon which they "man their forces" and set themselves about to undermine health. Ah, how sly the work of those consumptive germs! How far advanced their work before their real identity is known, and death steals upon us like a thief in the night. As with these, so with the inherent tendency to drink. We feel no sign of its existence so long as no influence is brought to bear upon us which causes the appetite to assert itself.

But upon meeting such circumstances, one readily falls an easy victim. To illustrate. I am told of an Eastern man ARTICLE VI. Cause of Alcoholic Inebriety, Continued. HF.KKDITY.

Every seven years we have au entirely new body. New blood and sinew, new nerves, new flesh, new bones a new being. New, and yet old. New in that the whole is changed; old in that the disease and scars of the old are accurateley reproduced in the new. How marvellous that while we are undergoing the process of retrograde-metamorphosis, elimination of the worn out, and building up of the new tissues of the bodr, those scars are being-accurately reproduced.

That scar from a wound received at life's early dawn is still carried by him whose aged locks have become snowy white, though he has by the process of nature been made new a dozen times, and will be carried with him to his grave. Only by the return of that tenement of clay to the dust from which it came can that scathe blotted out. We cannot tell why, or how. The mystery is known only by Ilim who fixed the law, and enforces it. Though to us an unfathomable mystery it is neverthertheless true.

Enough that it is so. Nor can we tell why the tendency to cancer, scrofula, consumption and other dreaded diseases, yea, even mental force or feebleness is handed down from parent to child. We cannot tell why the traits of character of the parent is so acurate-1y reproduced in the child. But it is none the less true. Ignorant rejection of the truth will not exempt us from its unfailing fulfillment in our own experience.

The appetite for strong drink has come to be regarded by the medical profession in general as a disease and not merely a habit. It is a scar, a thorn in the flesh, handed down from parent to child, and amid all the physical changes undergone, is carried from the cradle to the grave. Like a bed of coals it lies smouldering in the system awaiting-only slight provocation to fan it into a consuming- flame. the wretchedness in the world to-day which might have been averted had this been generally understood! Men do not know as they take their first drink what inherited appetite they may have, which, with but little indulgence, may prove to be overpowering. Thousands have discovered this to their everlasting sorrow.

God, wake wake the people to a sense of their their danger! This point may be made more clear by the following experience: In one of the Eastern states some years ago, tkere lived a family, the head of which was a drunkard. The wife and mother was a noble Christian woman. They had a lovely daughter, beautiful and accomplished, who, seeing her father's besotted condition, early became an unusually earnest and highly successful temperance worker. Her tears, prayers and entreaties had brought her father to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ, the "Lamb of God that taketh away the the sin of the world." Through her influence many crooked paths had been make straight, and children were saved from tasting of the cup wherein lies death and destruction. Indeed she had become noted as a a "temperance a "religious and of all the YOU SHOULD NOT FAIL TO ATTEND The Kansas State Holiness Camp-meeting, Wichita, August 17-26.
