What has given the liquor trallic the power to get into the hearts of the Christians, and rear its black death Hag by the side of our national Hag, and to cut off in the United States alone one* soul every eight minutes, and send it into eternitv tuxlcr circumstances from which we are- le-a<l to believe that they arc cxchuled forever from lleaven, and from the glory of Cod? What we license, we protect what we license, we wrap the flag of the country around and make it a legitimate branch of business, and in the legalized aspect of the traffic lies its power. What does Cod's word say about it? What does it say about licensed wrong? If Isaiah had seen the license system of the State of South Carolina as it is now, he could not have better expressed it than he has. Woe unto him that justificth tin wicked for a reward."' The dispensary system takes the money from these men who are dcaliny out liquid death for a government revenue?and thus make it a legitimate branch of business, and Cod says, "Woe". We Mud every phrase of the subject of this work in the I?ihie, and we believe- that (?e?d has wedded the- gospel and the j temperance cause, and "what Cod hath joined together le t ne> man put asunder." We find that the- first prohibitory liquor law e-ver passed was passed up in Heaven, and it was ne?t submitted to the people, it neve-r had t ? be remodeled, and it never will be repealed, and then we found the- awful iniquity of taking a tax from the lieptor traffic and putting it inte> the town treasury or even state or national treasury. It is not only the price ??f blood, but the price of souls. The money that was paid for the? betrayal e>f Christ didn't go iijt<> the- treasury. "Woe tee him that hiiihlotli .. town with hlooil, and estiihlishcth a city with iniquity.'' Tax payers, do you wonder why your taxes are so heavy?

Her husband was frequently before the police court for committing offenses while under the influence of liquor, and she was in the habit of going before the magistrate who was to try him and (nigging him off. Tltl? u'?w lno? A I? 1 "1 Por Union. y *UY XV. M. KOSTEK.J T^"'^ Union is from ashes rising, Her people are enterprising; With alertness they move apace, g In the einl they will win the race. g No barrier can'check their course, " They lay hold with vigor and force; Strike for success and reach the goal, Possessed of hearts of softest mould. Where there's a will, there is a way, They think by night,"and act bv day; A To misfortune tliey do not yield, $ They show valor on ev'ry field. They have stout hearts and stalwart arms, |' They shudder not at dread alarms; * Labor and toil with heart sincere, ? I)o their duty and nothing fear. ^ There is but one that men should fear, b And that is God forever near; l He knows men's thoughts anil sees their wa\s. 1 Of living, numbers all their days. Without Him cities cannot rise, ! Without Him none on earth are wise; lie gives men all they have below, He's the same now, as long ago. He searches hearts and tries the reins, ? Of all mankind while life remains; In the balance, all mortals we'ghs, And favors him who humbly prays. Let ev'ry mortal pause and think. j Today he standson pale death's brink; I Tomorrow may be called to go, ' Tn rpflltua of i/w on.lloec Lost Opportunities. " This is something we all will re- 1 gret when it is too late, hilt we know that every moment is very previous to us, and we should he 1 very eareful how it is spent. t Many hours arc spent foolishly 1 every day reading novels, or some | trashy hooks, which, if no doubt, were spent in reading good hooks, would cause us to become great 1 men and women. 1 Now is the time for us to stop i and think, hut we do not think so, j or at least we just go on without ^ realizing that our hest days are rapidly passing away, lad us all ' remember that youth is the most 5 important time of life, and that we ] should strive hard to accomplish ^ something that will he worth remembering in days to conic. We all know that school days are very pleasant, and should do our < hest to improve each moment as it j is swiftly going by, and should1 study well while we are young, for it is the time for learning, so there- j; fore if we let it pass by without i doing things that would he helpful j to us, then when we grow old it will he too late for us to grieve after j tlait wliiofi can novor bo rocuIJod. j No one knows the importance of ' school life until lie grows old, and then when looking hack he sees ( that his greatest mistake was in not i studying while young, when chances < for learning were easily obtained. Why is it that we all go along in life without stopping to think 1 how our time is being spent, and 1 that if we would only change our \ | way of living we would become j, much greater and also wiser. Now, as we have entered upon j the new year of nineteen hundred and five, let us do all wo can to im- i prove our time, and try to make it the best year that we have ever lived, and not let the golden oppor- I trinities pass without doing some i I thing that will help vis to heroine 1 hotter men and women.
