Let no man be deceived, Neither Local Option nor any nther law will work an immediate or magicai cure. The man who is determined to drink will still succeed in getting what his heart is set upon. _ Even the inexâ€" perienced. will not be absolutely safe, for ‘‘stolen water is sweet" and som e under like circumstances have been _ensnared by the curiosity of finding whether they could pull the wires so as to procure the drink. . The only class such a measure is likely to hel are those who want to be helpetf Some who know their helplessness ask our assistance by placing the drink where, when the craving is upâ€" on tnem, they will not find it â€" Parâ€" ents and friends are eager to foster a new spirit, to create an atmosphere so steeped with the spirit of Christianâ€" ity that the youth may be attracted by } things that are lovely and of good reportâ€" To all desirous of beiug helpâ€". _ How then is,the tyranny to be brokâ€" en and the man once more set free ? Evidently there must be an awakenâ€" ing of that inner life which all the intoxicating course has been trampâ€" ling in the mire, It is needless to say that the ashes of that life are not to be revived by any application of form, No mere prohibition can proâ€" vide that which alone ean quench the sonls‘ insatiable thirst. Chaining a dog will not make him kind though it may prevent him from biting and keeping a man from drinking will not awaken the soul that is dead or bring back the love that is lost. The way to the Father‘s house must be opened through the breaking up of the fountains in the man‘s own soul, Only when he arises and comes to his Father does he win the victory over self. To enter on that course may be as the very cutting off of a right hand or the plucking out of a right eye, to continue in it may be as a daily dying, but it is the path of blesâ€" sedness whose end is peace. The message of hope is the gospel of salâ€" vation nnd the power that lifts is not the arm of flesh but the spirit of the living God. 1 That doom of worthlessness no man on that pathway can escape, _ There is a hunger of the soul that no portion of Circe can satisfy, a longing for reaâ€" lity in sad contrast to that life of holâ€" lowness. _ To assuage that hunger men seek the balm of human fellowâ€" ship, They drink together, tell their stories and join in laughter, bnt the hunger is not satisfied. the spectre will not be charmed and in their deepâ€" est soul is heard the croak of doom, the Raven‘s croak,â€""Never more." Never more is there a return of the manliness which has been sacrificed at the shrine of the false deceiver. hn aimisstiant Feniorlsad the main to the water soaked derelict that floats at the mercy of wind and tide, a menace to every craft that sails the sea. false hopes which only prepare the way fora fresh harvest oi sorrow, Since one stimulation falied to satisty it must be repeated, but what was enough yesterday falls short toâ€"day and what serves to day is insufficent for to morrow. _ With this continued strain the nerves are shattered, the body weakened, and the man degradâ€" ed from the noble vessel that plows Starting thus with promises that are deceitfil it keeps up the appearâ€" ance of truthfulness by a removal of When the sin is finished, the drunkâ€" ard appears in all his fleshiness, grouped according to the Apostle Paul with fornicators, adulterers, efâ€" feminate, thieves. coyetous, revilers _and extortioners. Its fascination is in the glory it counterfeits, the illusâ€" ions with which it deceives. â€" Its curse is the residuum of a wasted life, the grapes of gall whose clusters are bitâ€" ter. At the beginning it flatters its votaries with a sense of clearer vision, . increased power and fuller joy. At the last the mask falls off, the halluâ€". cination vanishes, the castles so gorgâ€"| eous melt ‘‘into air, into thin air‘‘ and the beauty which in the intoxiâ€" cating excitement seemed so fair, in the light of sober reality is seen to be but common clay. _ Drink is a deâ€" ceiver, ever luring man to lie with the swine and at the same time deludâ€" ing bhim with thought that that is his rest and his home. _ _Drunkeness is a vice that arises from the desire to enjoy the deepest satisfaction of our nature without possessing thatinnerlife from which alone that joy can spring. _ Failing to reach the nether springs and draw from them the living water, it steeps the abused body in sensuous enjoyâ€" ment and cheats the mind with the seeming consciousness of increased power and brilliancy, In its earliest and simplest form it is akin toall in art, literature and religion that soothes the mind, rouses the feetings, or moves the tears, without awakening to noble and practical activity.

The bride, a London girl, has otten visited relatives in this part also. The Review extends congratulations to the happy couple. ONTARIO The groom, Mr. C.G.

Gray and Mr Jas Watson, near Durham. â€" He is "A pretty wedding was solemnized on Wednesday afternoon,. November 27th, by the Rey Dean Davis. at the home of Mr Robt. Chatto, 206 Richâ€" mond Street, London, when his eldes: daughter, Nellie," became the bride of Mr CUhas, Gray Watson, also of this city, The bride, beautifally attired in white silk mull, leaning on her father‘s arm, entered the drawing room at 2.30 o‘clock to the strains of Lohengrin‘s wedding march, played by Miss Jeanâ€" ette Steele, and was martied beneath an arck of smilax and mums. The bride was attended by her sister Isaâ€" belle, who wore pale blue and carried pink roses, The groom was supported by Mr. Lorne Watson. _ The groom‘s glft to the bride was a beautitul penâ€" ant of ametbysts and pearls. to the bridesmaid a gold bracelet. and to the best man a necktie pin. _ After about thirty immediate relatives and friends had partaken of a dainty wedding breakfast, the bappy couple left on the 4,25 train for Toronto, Buffalo, and points east. _ On their return they wil} reside at 175 Wortley Road.â€" London Free Press, Mr. C. A. Fieming, Owen Sound, the well known head of the Business College is to speak here at an early date, and every business man should hear him. Watch for date. An arcticle in the Torontro News of Tuesday gives strong testimony from business men of Flesherton as to its success there, It was a well reasoned argument, and should convince any business man, that stopping the bar business could not possibly hurt the town, while the hotels, as in Toronte Junction, would tind prosperity in hotel trade. He was particularly strong on the responsibility and comphcity of the public in the evil results of the license system, A man should scorn to take benefit in kis taxes by means of the revenue from lhquor, which too often was paid for him by thedrinker t the expense of wife and home. It was passed in 1904 and three geurs later a repeal contest was brought on resulting in an overwhelming defeat for the liquor men, _ That this should occur in a town situated as is Toronto Junction, showed how the measure was valued. A notable contribution was make to the cause ot Local option on Tuesday night by Rev, Dr. Hazlewood, Toronto Junction, who lectured in the Town Hall to a good audience. He is a torceful speaker, and coming from a place where a forceful fight for local option took place, he has a wealth of testimony to give in its favor, which cannot be despised. 1n addition to his own testimony he has written statemments by men, who are not aâ€" fraid of their names, testifying to increased business. an improyed mworal and a healthy civic expanson. Reâ€" markable testimony was given by an exâ€"mayor of the glu:e who bitterly opposed it at first, but latterly, being convinced in spite of himself, became a warm supporter. ; ed the law is calculated to be a blesâ€" sing. . It will be the occasion of givâ€" ing the fallen the chance again to take his part of awakening noble self reâ€" spect in some who hns lost it and of ’helping others to a taste of the joy of making glad the hearts of those near ‘and dear to them. _ To secure these blessings there is needed not only a law but a moral and spiritual awakâ€" ening. _ Give not only your vote for Local, Option, but yield yourselves as servants to righteousness unto sanctification.
