ColumbuB, O-—(Special.)—The Ohio Anti-Saloon league 1 b taking a referendum of the newspapers of the Btate on the question aa to whether they are friendly or un­ friendly to state-wide Prohibition. Up to this time about one-half of the papexu have responded and the ratio Is approximately 6 to 1 friendly to Prohibition. i THERE’S NO CONFISCATION Detroit Breweries Will Manufacture Artificial Ice. Detroit, Michigan. (Special.)—Ac­ cording to the News of this cify, sev­ eral breweries have already taken steps, to have their plants converter! into establishments for the manufac­ ture of artificial ice. Some of the breweries will be operated as ico plants long before Prohibition goes into effect in Michigan. , Under the County Option law, a number of breweries have been put. out of business' in Michigan during the past few years. In only one in­ stance has brewery property de­ creased in-value in Prohibition terri­ tory. On the contrary, such proper­ ties have greatly increased in valus •by converting them into productiva industries, The brewery a t Flint is said to be the only one that was not made into a factory of some kind and this brewery was converted into a church. 4g, - . . - . MORE PROSPEROUS UNDER PROHIBITION Trade Paper Tells of Seattle's Greet Growth., Seattle, Wash. (Special.)—Tha Business 'Chronicle is a commercial newspaper published in this city, and is devotqd toythe commercial interests of tile Pacific-Northwest. In a recent publication^ the Business Chroniclfe in replying to the attacks made on Seattle because it is the largest dry city in th e country, set forth these facts: ■ “During the year Seattle has been without saloons the city has gained in population^ -building occupancy is greater than ever, bank deposits have increased, new industries have sprung up, more tourists have visited Seattle Tne amount of taxes to he raised on this year’s valuation is less than a year ago. Delinquent taxes have been reduced. Bank clearings and trans­ actions are greater than -la s t year. Postoffice receiptB are larger. Pay rolls have increased.- Savings insti­ tutions have opened more new ac­ counts and received a greater aggre­ gate of small sums from working ipen than in any other year. Mer­ chants have sold more and bettez goods and collections have been vastly improved. Bond dealers find a new class of* investors and have had the best year ever experienced. Seattle today is sounder and more prosperous than ever.” » LABOR LIKES DRY CITY Denver Labor Leader Say* Workers ' Satisfied With Dry Regime. Denver, Colorado. (Special.)-—Ii the laboring men of Ohio will follow the advice of labor leaders of Colo­ rado, they will vote to make^ theii state dry next November. This city and state has been dry for more than a year.' Many workingmen voted against Prohibition as they feared it would unsettle labor conditions and glut the labor market, Here is what William C. Thornton, President of the Denver Trades and Labor Assembly, now says concerning conditions under Prohibition: "1 voted against Prohibition in this state. I am now irrevocably opposed to the saloon and I venture to assert that outside of the old saloon inter­ ests, you could not muster a cor­ poral’s guard in the labor movement of Denver today who vtould assert tha t (jiey are in favor of .the return of the saloon. The saloon has gone forever and most of Us*do not want it back. I t never did anybody any good and has done untold harm. T believe that,the whole state is mor<> prosperous now than it was before Prohibition went into effect.” Hard to Reach, Some men's meanness consists of tlielr stinginess with their means. When they give up their meanness they will be willing to give up more qt their means. Such men, however, are pretty hard to convert. ffir FRANK. L.

GOLDEN TEXT—If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall he free In­ deed.—John 8:36. Teachers should sketch rapidly In a chronological way the events in the life of our Lord, (See any good harmony) and show that this lesson belongs to the period of the Galilean ministry of Jesus when he had gone up to Jerusa­ lem to attend the feast of the taber­ nacle (John 7:1-52). Let us be sure tp load our guns with temperance am­ munition, be familiar with facts, take careful aim, concentrate all we have to say upon one definite atm, and then pull the trigger e. g. be sure to shoot a temperance charge and make a tem­ perance application, I. The Slavery to Sin. Jesus’ previ­ ous references to water.(Chs. 4 and 7) and to bread (ch, 6) were occasioned by outward occurrences; so with this reference to light. In the treasury (v, 20) near to Jesus as he spake wfere two colossal, golden lamp stands around which when lighted the people gath­ ered with rejoicing. Amid the blaze of this Illumination, Jesus exclaims: “I am the light of the world." What is mote beneficent than light, as it re­ veals, cheers and brings life, health and happiness to mankind? Without light there Is no vision. Without Jesus there is no spiritual wisdom/ Without light we know not whither w e are go­ ing. Without Jesus we grope in the darkness. Every ray of light, of truth, of holiness and love comes from him, for God is light, and in him is no dark­ ness at all (I John 1:15). Some think that these words were occasioned by the onlookers, seeing what Jesus had written in the sand (w . 1-11), The first step in the slnvery of sin Is blind­ ness; the second is habit; - and thev third is that of absolute slavery (Prov. 5:22). Jesus was the.Incarnation of the light of God. We cannot con­ ceive of Jesus making such an asser­ tion as this, and being merely a good man. ■■ II. The Possibility of Freedom (w .' 31-36.) These words were spoken to “those which had believed on him,” and as the result* they1were to know the truth, and: the truth should make them free. Knowledge and liberty come from a continuance (abiding) in the word of God (John 14:15'; 16:12-13). Many men reject Jesus Christ because they claim they wish to have their liberty, and by so doing they lose their liberty. A dis­ ciple is a learner; Jesus is the teacher; tlie entrance examinations to the school of Christ are the simple and necessary condition of believing or ac­ cepting hiffi ns Lord and teacher. The scholars are all the disciples who con­ tinue under his instruction. The ob­ ject of the schooling is to make per­ fect men, “unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ" (Eph. 4 :22; Col. 4 :12), Christs school is not only In the church and in the Sunday school and Young People’s society, but it is everywhere, in the home, in the office, at work and play; wherever one is trying truly to live according to Christ's will, he is in his school, and that school is open both day and night ; there are no vacations and no recesses. The text book Is the Book of books. We need not argue as to the necessity of sin, but realize the fact that all are under sin (Bom, 5:12), but being un­ der stn does not necessitate our abid­ ing there, nor is sin necessary to our being. This freedom here is from Bln and the love of sin and the curse and thfe penalty of sin nnd the bondage and corroding care of sin. It is also mental freedom, freedom for Christian ac­ tivity. A knowledge of the English Bible Is a liberal education, and brings true liberty to those who are thus edu­ cated. As contrasted to that we have the slnvery of sin (vv. 84, 30). Tim drunkard Is a slave because he is re­ strained from doing what he knows he bught.to do. He dhnnot even do wrong freely for his conscience constantly up­ braids him. He is a slave because he is compelled to bear the consequences of sin against his will; The way of escape (v. 86) is through the son: “If the son therefore shall make you free, ye Bliall be free Indeed." III. The Authority, (w . 56, 58). The Jews took exception to the words of Jesus (83-55). When did Abraham see Jesus? Read the 18th and 10th chapters of Genesis, and we find that one of the three who visited Abralmm was differ­ ent from the other two, and remained behind while two went on to Sodom. The one who remained was the Lord Jesus, Jehovah appearing in human form before his Inter incarnation as Jesus of Nazareth: "I Am” IsAMhe name, of Jehovah. .Tcsus here takes that name to himself.- There was a time when Abraham canie to be or was (v. 58), but there was no time when our Lord ever came to be for ho Is the eternal “I Am." Being thus one with G6d, he has the power to set men free. We have in this chapter the picture which Jesus draws of the character of the devil as the enemy of mankind un­ der two aspects: First, he Is a mur­ derer (v* 44). * No war has slain what intemperance (one of Ills favorite instruments) has slain. Second, he is a liar* EXECUTOR’S SALE I will offer for sale, on the farm Saturday, March 17th, 1917 A t Hh^O O 'c lo c k A . M.
