A World-Wide Reform.
The International Sunday School
Lesson for November 29 Is,
'World's Temperance Sunday."
Isaiah 28: 1-13.
BT WILLIAM T. ELLIS.
Once every year the Sunday schools
of the world celebrate temperance
Sunday. This company of twenty-five
millions of people is re-enforced In
the observance of the occasion by a
still larger host of attendants upon
the church. For many ' years past
temperance Sunday has been a reg
ular feature of many church cal
endars, and It has served as. one of
the forces -which have ' molded the
present radical sentiment upon the
question of strong drink.
Many men are rubbing their eyes
and wondering where all this zeal for
temperance has come from. They do
not themselves go to Sunday school or
to church, and so are not aware of
the steady siege that has been laid
to the hearts and minds of impres
sionable youth upon this great theme.
The variety of the arguments and
agencies that have been enlisted
against intemperance are unknown to
men professionally engaged in the
liquor trade, and to a multitude of
those who indulge in strong drink.
Yet one does not need a very vivid
Imagination to perceive that the ac
cumulated result of these years of
Sunday school teaching upon this one
special topic must necessarily be
prodigious. - '
The On-Sweeping Tide.
There is need to remind some per
sons that this temperance movement
is a world movement. It is bigger
than the great crusade which has
swept over Ohio, eliminating, within
a few months, more than a thousand
saloons bj- the county local option law.
It is bigger than the state prohibition
movement which has added six new
states to the three in the .Union al
ready arrayed in favor of total
prohibition. It is bigger than the
movement among the liquor men
themselves to reform their business.
The latter is one of the rather
ludicrous features of the present
agitation, reminding one of the
old ltnes:
"When the Devil was sick, the Devil
a monk would be;
When the Devil got well, the devil
a monk was he."
The present on-sweeping tide is
bigger than the license reform move
ment that is stirring England today.
It actually comprehends the whole
world. The latest Oriental . mail
brought news from Ceylon that the
arrack monopoly has been attacked
in the legislative body, and that this
actio-n recognized as the formal be
ginning of a temperance crusade in
the land "where every prospect
pleases, and only man Is vile." In
Japan there has arisen a distinct and
hopeful temperance organization.
Switzerland, one of the two countries
which have been the source of the
production of that dreadful drink,
absinthe, has within recent weeks
totally prohibited the manufacture
and sale of this profitable product.
The highways of France may be
found placarded with posters portray
ing the evils dt- strong drink, and
many public men in that land of the
vine are siding ' with ' the newly
aroused sentiment. Thus It is appar
ent that no Sunday school or church
rightly celebrates temperance Sunday
unless it is given a vision of the vast
ness of this globe-circling movement.
Getting the World View. I
The time for telling; bairnly tem
perance stories is past. No longer is
the total abstinence movement to be
rounded chiefly on a basis of the story
of drunkards' broken homes. . That
was the necessary kindergarten stage
of this reform. Now the world sees
the subject more broadly. There has
arisen before the imagination of civili
zation tha vision of a society no longer
drunken. Some men see this ultimate
goal from one point of view, and some
from another. The intense economic
stress of the day has taught many men
that temperance is essential to com
mercial or industrial efficiency. It is
too expensive for organized society.
Thus, according to the American Pro
hibition Yearbook, the total amount
of money spent for intoxicants in the
United States in the year 1907' was
$2,275,070,857. In contrast with this,
the total expense of the United States
government was $578,000,000, and the
total expenses of state, city and local
governments was $1,078,000,000. That
Is to say, there was paid for liquor last
year in the United States an amount
exceeding by half a billion dollars the
entire expenses of national, state, city,
and local governments. Economically,
this is intolerable in an enlightened
ge.
A still more fundamental basis for
this, temperance tidal wave is the in
creasing sense of world brotherhood
which is taking possession of the
mind of civilization. The temperance
crusade is really of a piece with all the
significant expressions of human!
tarianlsm and socialism which are now
looming so large upon the world's
horizon. ;
An.Up-io'-bate War.
Even more deeply does the present
movement Indicate that the Christian
church, which has so long been "buck
ling on its armor" for the conflict with
the forces of evil, is now throwing its
mediaeval armor Into the Junk heap
and getting down its Krag Jorgensen
rifles, its automatic machine guns, its
twelve-inch rifled cannons, and equip
ping Its submarine boats and prepar
ing Its aeroplane batteries. -
This up-to-dateness of modern
militant Christianity., is one of the
striking evidences of the changes that
havo been at work in the church. No
longer will the captains of the king
dom stop to squabble over shibboleths
while a common foe holds the field.
The great meeting of the federated
protestant church of America, which
is to be held in Philadelphia at the
beginning of next month, typifies this
new state of mind which has come to
possess the churches. Disregarding
nonessentials, and overlooking minor

differences, and perceiving, after all
these centuries, that, fundamentally,
creeds look towards deeds, the Chris
tian forces are allying themselves for
the practical service of the world and
the kingdom. Already we see In the
late temperance victories the results
of this saner, Christlier. spirit. . . .
Tlie New KliiffdoiM.
The Roman Catholic church has
been greatly stirred by the movement
called Modernism, which, Insofar as
it represents, as Cardinal Gibbons says
it does, secularity and anit-Christianity,
should properly be opposed. There is
a modernism, however, in religion
which spells adaptation and progres
siveness, and it is represented by the
great societies of men organized in the
Catholic-church. In the promotion of
temperance and other good works this
is the church conforming to present
day conditions, only so far as is neces
sary to enable her to conform pres
ent day conditions to the immemorial
and changeless standards of righteous
ness. Temperance workers nowadays will
frankly admit that they can not find
chapter and verse in the vcriptures for
all their positions.' The old debate
over the two-wine theory in Scripture,
and the outworn expositions of scarce
ly appropriate passages, is ceasing.
Instead, the modern temperance move
ment strides forward confident that it
is animated by the spirit of Jesus. The
very vicariousness of Christ possesses
it. Whatever hurts mankind, even the
weakest of mankind, must be banish
ed, regardless of the cost to the
strong. This spirit, exemplified most
conspicuously in this one particular re
form, really reveals nothing less than
the sovereignty of the Son of Man. It
is a great human service, sounding
forth the majestic strain, "Crown Him
Lord of All."

Topic: "Home Missions; A Million a
Year; Our Foreign Immigrants." Isa.
2:1-22.
BY WILLIAM T. ELLIS.
The migratory floods of civilization
sweep toward the west even when,
paradoxically, the east turns eastward
to find the west. North America has
become the golden land of the dreams
of the older peoples. Here is the coun
try of the second chance, the fresh
start. ' On these shores are being
worked out great experiments in, hu
man liberty and self-government. These
ideals, no less than the prospects of
material advantage, lure the dwellers
from the places of poverty and oppres
sion all over the globe. This now-ebbing,
now-flowing tide of immigration is
a great glory of the new world; and a
great menace. It is at once an oppor
tunity and a peril; and it constitutes
one of the gravest problems that alert
citizens are called upon to face.
How do we need to keep the nation
whole.
To guard the pillars of the State? We
need
The fine audacities of honest deed;
The homely old integrities of soul;
The swift temerities that take the part
Of outcast right the wisdom of the
heart.
Brave hopes that Mammon never can
detain,
Nor sully with his gainless clutch for
gain. I
Edwin Markham. I
There have been foreign missionary
enthusiasts who have done more than a
little to stir Christians to a concern for
the whole world. No less sorely need
ed than these are some men of prophet
vision and tongue who will arouse the
churches to the gravity of the situa
tion in their own land at the present
hour. That such vital and pressing
Issues as the immigration question
should be perfunctorily grouped under
the head of "Home Missions," and
relegated to the attention of a few
faithful souls in prayer meetings, does
not argue very eloquently for the
alertness or statesmanship of the lead
ers of western Christendom.
The biggest things Of Our national
life are at stake in this problem of the
alien. All that our fathers won so
dearly is again on trial. The Sabbath,
the church, the reign of law, the free
dom, of the Individual, all are subject
to attack from these hosts of newcom
ers with foreign ideals. Simple self
preservation requires us to make it our
first business to transform the "Immi
grant into a true citizen of the land.
Canada and the United States have
been created. In divine providence, cus
todians of certain great principles In
human government. It is a solemn
manhood duty for all citizens to guard
these principles from corruption. This
can best be done, let It be said In all
seriousness, by bringing the alien pop
ulation under the dominance of the
Gospel, which has made us whatever
we are that is worthy.
Ever Immigrant is a man or woman
or child before he Is a problem. So he
must be regarded as one possessed of
all the old human instincts and needs,
rather than as an abstract question in
sociology or citizenship.
As most of the older cities on the
continent have developed their "foreign
quarter," which usually is what once
was a fashionable section, transforming
it into something strange and squalid,
just so the early ideals of the nation
are impaired by the congestion of Im
migration. There can be no doubt that
the gravest problem in the land is this
one of securing deliverance from the
effect of pernicious immigration. Yet
shall we on that account shut our
gates, and attempt a coward's escape
from one of the burdens of the strong?
car irom h. i-et us ramer strengthen
our lines of resistance in school and
government and press and church. Is
it not a high and patriotic duty to make
pur established standards winsome to
these newcomers, and thus to win them
to willing allegiance to a better way?
lnsteaa ot ignoring, avoiding and ill
treating the immigrants, let us Increase
the good fashion of welcoming them, of
speeding them on -their way, and of
neiping tnem w realize in this new land
their mgnesi aspirations.
The business of religion is to put the
savor of sweetness, truth and light
into all the relationship of mankind. It
should enable every native-born citi
zen to meet the stranger In the spirit
of Him who said, "J was a stranger,
and ye took me in."
Some men have walked the streets of
the new world as Ignored aliens, whom,
had we been wiser, we should have
welcomed as heroes and soldiers of lib
erty's Universal cause. The narrow
mindedness which indiscriminatingly
condemns the stranger thereby accuses
itself.
The Immigration emergency has
brought the great agencies of home
missions of the leading American de
nominations -into oneness of action.
They have formed a co-operating coun
cil, and now they are campaigning" the
state together, in an effort to arouse
the churches to action upon the great
issue. Thus, indirectly, the immigrant
has been the means of fusing into a
measure of oneness the -forces that
are to be exerted for his service.

RELIGIOUS THOUGHT.
Gems Gleaned From the Teachings
of All Denominations.
Every Christian's' life should every
day be a fresh, new song. Rev. Dr.
John H: Ptugh, Reformed, Pittsburg.
THE LIFE WE LEAD.
The thing that is most admired in a
man is not his taste for dress nor his
ability to make money, but the kind of
life he leads. Rev.- W. W. Bustard,
Baptist, Boston.
MAN OF GOD.
To be a man of God is to h-.ve a title
of nobility worn by the prophets of old
the highest expression that a man is
capable of becoming. Rev. C. R.
Hemphill, Presbyterian; Louisville.
LIFE'S FINAL RESULTS.
Many of the final results of your life
and teaching will report themselves to
you long years after you come before
the Judgment seat of God. Rev. Dr.
N. Dwight Hillis, Congregationalism
Brooklyn.
MIND AND RELIGION.
The more highly developed the men
tal life is, the more correctly one thinks,
the more complete and perfect his
knowledge, other things being equal,
the better will be his type of religion,
Rev. John W. Rowlett, Unitarian, At.
ianta, Ga.
HEAVEN ON EARTH.
If there is anything that is heaven
on earth it is for the provider of the
family when there is real need of pro
vision to come back with the day's
wages or the day's provision for the
loved ones. Rev. Dr. S. Edward Young
Presbyterian, Brooklyn.
CONSECRATED BACKBONE.
Men must possess consecrated back
bone in morals. Man is not expected to
be a jellyfish morally, but an imperial,
majestic vertebrate who stands up to
give and receive blows in defense and
in behalf of the God who gave him his
soul and his lofty estate. Rev. Dr.
Charles Edward Locke, Methodist
Episcopal, Los Angeles, Cal.
TRUE DISCIPLESHIP.
Immorality stands already and suffi
ciently condemned, but a shallow life
must also be contemptible. It is for
this that the church must stand in
modern life if it would win not only
those who are weak, but those who aro
morally strong. ' To sacrifice not only
the evil, but also the good, this is true
discipleshlp. Rev. Clayton J. Potter,
Congregationalism Simsbury, Conn.
GROWING LIKE GOD.
When one's heart throbs go out in
kindliness, good will and sympathy and
in all the gracious sentiments of broth
erhood toward his fellows, then is he
growing in likeness to his Father in
heaven. And this conduces to the com
mon happiness. Trusting others they
will trust us. Caring for others, they
"will care for us. Self sacrifice brings
life's sweetest reward. Rev. Junius B.
Remensnyder, Lutheran, New York.
DISEASE RESULT OF THOUGHT.
There are a vast deal of suffering and
disease in the world which are the pro
duct of men's thoughts. But if a dis
ease is caused by the mind it is cer
tainly reasonable to believe that It can
be cured by the mind. To give the suf
ferer a new outlook upon life, to in
spire courage and hope and talth, to
renew the forces of the will, to turn
away the mind from conditions which
have caused nervous overthrow, will
bring physical cure. Rev. C. Waldo
Cherry, Presbyterian, Troy, N. Y.
MANIFESTATION OF DEITY IN NX
TURK The messages conveyed to us by nature
do not need to be translated from the orig
inal Greek, and there is nowhere that we
can learn a better idea of the majesty of
God and his illimitable might. By limiting
ourselves to the gospel alone we develop
a Christianity that lacks strength and
robustness. It is outside the Bible and in
nature that we find what may be called
the brute energy of God. The laws of
natux-e are the forms in which God has
crystallized his will. Rev. Dr. Charles H.
Parkhurst. Presbyterian, New York.
VALUE OF A CLEAN HEART.
The man who does not live on good
terms with himself, whose mind is not
clean within, has very little to hope for
in the way of moral and spiritual clean
ness. This is the first thing that the
perception of religion as an inner reality
does for us. It guarantees our tranquillity,
our sereneness. our undisturba.ble calm
ness here and hereafter. It introduces us
to our own selves and says to man, wo
man and child. "Here you will find God
or nowhere." Make clean first the inside
of the cud. and the outside shall become
clean to vou. Ethics, pure social life,
must flow from the heart that is fed with
divine love. Rev. Ulysses G. B. Pierce,
Unitarian. Washington.
WORLD'S GREATEST TREASURE.
Man's life comes from within.. It rises
superior to circumstance and situation. It
enables him to have happiness even in
trial and sorrow. The martyr burning
at the stake may be happy even amid
suffering. Such strength is not obtained;
it is attained not an acquisition, but a
growth. You can buy pleasure, but not
happiness. The heart rich toward God
solves life's paradox. Peace within the
soul and the abiding conviction that the
kingdom 8t ' heaven is within you give
the knowledge and possession of the
world's BTeatest treasure. A man may
possess the world and not be happy, but
with the soul enriched with eternal things
he will be satisfied. This is the secret of
the happy life. Happiness is a byproduct
or an unseitisn lite, n is a wayaiae i low
er growing along the path of dutv. A
purpose consecrated to lofty ideals makes
worthy the efforts or every one wno
strives to improve his own character and
to uplift mankind. Rev.- Dr. - George H.
