SEED-TIME AUD HARVEST- 
drink. The time when strength was sup¬ 
posed to be the product of the distilleries 
has passed. The farmer once thought he 
could not husk his corn, hoe his potatoes 
or mow his grass without rum. The car¬ 
penter could not shove his plane without it, 
and it required at least four gallons of this 
“muscular power’ to raise a small log cabin. 
Preachers once could not start a revival, 
nor Deacons pray effectively with nit some 
of these lower “spirits” for inspiration. 
But what a delusion! 
When the farmer drove his team afield 
in summer it was absolutely necessary that 
he have “something strong” to keep him 
cool. 
When he sledded home his loads of fuel 
in winter he must have a little of this same 
“something” to keep him warm! Yet his 
oxen drank only watpr. 
If mankind to-day could only raise them¬ 
selves to the level of the brute creation in 
many respects what a glorious victory 
would be achieved! 
Ninth: Water is the best drink. As this 
‘sentence has an adjective of the superlative 
degree we cannot go higher, or say more 
in its praise but will simply repeat the 
words of our heading “What shall we 
drink?”
