Bureau of Investigation reports, according to tin Associated Press news dispatch, “a sharp increase during the first half of 1941 in arrests of women for misuse of alcoholic bever ages. An analysis of 28,450 arrests of women in 410 cities showed increases of 35.4 per cent over 1940 [the correspond ing half of 1940] for drunkenness and 38.3 per cent for driving while intox icated.” Crime among women increased along with drunkenness, according to the F.

In his recent report published in the Chicago Tribune, George A. H. Scott, secretary of the Illinois Humane So ciety, declared: “I’ve been a director of this so ciety for more than forty years and I think we’ve more trouble with women neglecting their families now than we used to have. . . . Fifteen of the many child neglect cases in vestigated by the Stociety last year were brought to court. In seven of the cases the mothers were found to prefer drinking to looking after their families. Four of the mothers were alcoholics and were placed in institutions.” A Statesman’ s Estimate So great is my veneration for the Bible, that the earlier my children begin to read it the more confident will be my hopes that they will prove useful citizens to their country and respect able members of society. —John Quincy Adams.

FOUR ORATOR IOS OF THE REVELATION |Continued from Page 380] sulfation with Satan. When the king doms of this world become His whose right it is to rule, then Satan and all who have admitted his government will be swept away into the lake of fire. Awful thought for every unsaved person who reads these lines! The greatest chorus of the greatest oratorio that has ever been written by mortal man, it will be agreed, is the “Hallelujah Chorus” from Handel’s Messiah. This final oratorio of the heav enly choirs has been adapted to human voices, and even as we hear it sung on such a relatively puny scale, our hearts are stirred. We wonder how many of those who have thrilled to this greatest piece of earfiily music have realized the solemn significance of what the acces sion to His power of the Saviour and King, as heralded by that great heaven ly chorus, is going to mean to every one who has rejected His grace! The hour is coming and is nigh at hand when these things will come to pass. Will you not stop and consider, O sinner, or you who merely profess to be a Christian, whether this chorus will strike joy or terror to your heart in that day? For He cometh with His fan in His hand, and lie will thoroughly purge His floor; the wheat will He gather into the gamer, but the chaff He will bum with unquenchable fire! The gate of grace yet remains ajar, and you can still enter. Will you hot confess Him today as Lord and Saviour before it is too late? SIGNIFICANCE OF THE NEWS « [Continued from Page 371] later repealed by majority vote of the electorate of the nation.” Hgllett Abend, New York Times cor respondent, has expressed the opinion that the “dry bills in Congress face doom because Stimson and Knox fight them.” But Congress is responsible to the people—not to the members of the Cabinet. The legislation may yet be enacted if Christian citizens everywhere will let their representatives in Congress know that they favor a “dry” army. The “ dry army bill” is listed as Senate Bill 860 and House Bill 4f000. In writing your representatives in Congress, it is well to mention the number of the bill. LIQUOR AND TAXES: • As this column is being written, the Senate is wrestling with the new tax bill recently passed by the House of Representatives. The measure calls for the raising of slightly over $3,000,000,- 000 in “new revenue." An editorial in the Los Angeles Times makes the com ment that this is the average annual amount of America’s liquor bill. During the past seven years, 1fee Times adds, ap
