signing the Pledge.

Rev. John Abbott, the sailor preacher
relates the following good story of one
Of his converts to Temperance:
Mr.. johnson, at the close of cold
water lecture intimated that he must
sign the pledge in his own way which
he did in these words:
81, William Johnson. pledge myself
to drink no more intoxicating liquor foi
one year."
Some thought he wouldn't stick three
days. others allowed him a week, and
few gave him two weeks; but the
landlord knew him best and said he was
good stuff. but at the end of the veal
Bill would be a real soaker. Before
the year was quite gone, Mr.. Johnson
was asked by Mr.. Abbott, "Bill, ainl
you going to renew the pledge?"
"Well, l don't know, Jack. but what
| will; have done pretty well so far,
will you let me sign again my own
way?"
20, yes any way, so that you won't
drink rum"
He writes: "I, William Johnston,
sign this pledge for nine hundred and
ninety-nine years, and if living at the
end of that time, l intend to take out a
lease for life."
