NOVEMBER 1, 1912 



( hristian spirit as could be expected from 

 one under sucli a provocation. I am well 

 aware that the enemies of temi^erance, and 

 of the Prohibition party especially, will not 

 hesitate to exaggerate; but I think there 

 is scarcely a doubt that Mr. Chafin, great 

 man that he is, was led into doing great 

 damage, perhajos unconsciously, to the very 

 cause he has most at heart. 



By the way, what have we a right to ex- 

 ])eet of the President or an ex-president, or 

 of one who aspires to the great office of 

 presidency of the United States'? How 

 would this do? Such a man should be one 

 who "suffereth long, and is kind;" "doth 

 not behave himself unseemly; seeketh not 

 his own; is not easily provoked; thinketh 

 no evil;" he ''rejoiceth not in iniquity, but 

 rejoiceth in the truth ; beareth all things, 

 hopeth all things, endureth all things." 



UNITED WE STAND, DIVIDED WE FALL. 



A good brother just now writes that he 

 is pleased with the Prohibition platform, 

 and would vote the Prohibition ticket were 

 it not for the fact that the Prohibitionists 

 do not insist on observing Sunday on Sat- 

 urday. If this thing goes on, how shall we 

 ever be able to put up a united front 

 against the enemy? 



Convention Notices 



Notice is hereby given that the delegate meeting 

 of the National Beekeepers' Association will be 

 held in Cincinnati, February 12, 13, 1913. While 

 all sessions will be open to the members and visit- 

 ors, some sessions will be devoted wholly to busi- 

 ness through the delegates. At least one session 

 each day will be set aside for the members to 

 discuss such subjects as may be decided upon later, 

 notice of which will be given out by the secre- 

 tary. The subjects that will likely be selected for 

 discussion will be of national character rather than 

 pertaining to the production of bees and honey.
