opposition TO the stocking loom was the
most base and cruel kind.a A French

THAT ono Dron. DSr,r

For two years lpastiI have been Ia
boring to save ariiinebriate. After sew.
eral relapses, he became perfectly sober
and gave hope -0f@pefmaHent reform.
His wife remarked, "If he falls again,
it will kill ne;D " Things went on
smoothly. several months. That once
darkened home had become once more
a asdnny spot But one day the the' re-
formed man met All old friend, who in
vited him TO dinner: ! At the table
wine was furnished, and, the entertain
er pressed the. reformed ,inebriate to
take a glass with him.. he knew the
mans former HABITS. The unhappy
man swallowed one glass. and it I'M
chained tfedemonin a moment. From
that hour to this nay poor friend has
hardly seen a sober day, and nothing
but a miracle of Gods grace viii ever
lift him from the bottolnless pit into
which one treacherous glass, of cham
payne hurled him in an instant. !, In
this case it Is not difficult to decide who
was the greatest sinner. The man who
urges reformed inebriate to touch q
drop of intoxicating liquors deserves to
be imprisoned for ten years at hard la.
Dor. He is not a safe, person, to run al
large, for where is the moral difference
of ASSASSINATION with a knife, and assas
sination with. q social glass of poison

One of the deadliest Things IS dreani-

One of the deadliest things is dreami-
ness, ,sleepiness. "A Christian, readily
falls into this state, / notice it even in
the public congregation. Very often
the whole service is gone through me-
chanically., That same dreaminess falls
upon many professors and abides with
them, and instead Of praising God
more and more, II is as much as ever
they can do to keep up the same old
strain-and barely that. Let US shake
ourselves nom all such sleep. Surely,
If there wereany service in which q
man should be altogether and wholly
awake, Is praising and nagnifying God.
A sleepy seraph before the throne Of
Jehovah, or q cherub nodding during
sacred song, il were ridiculous to i'm
agine. And shall such an insult to the
Majesty OF Heaven be seen on earth?
Mol Let US say to all that Is within Us,
''Awakei awake" l"--[l lSptngeon. =.

E1eATLUR5Ss IN SOCIETY Society is
ftili of failures that need never have
been made; full OF men whe have new
er succeeded, full of women who in tAe
first haH OF their days did nothing but
eat anu sleep and simper, and in the
last half have done nothing but perpet-
uate their foilies and weaknesses. The
world Is full, say, of such people; full
of men in every trade and profession
wholdo notiamount to anything; and /
do not speak irreverently and trust
not ot.witheut due charity, without ma
king due allowance for the Inevitable
innlife, nwhen I say that God and
thoughtful men are weary Of their
presence. Every boy ought TO improve
on his father; every girl grow into a
nobler, gentler, more self-denying wo-
manhood than the mother. No repro
duction of former types win give the
world the perfect type. i know not
where the millennium is, as measured
by distance oftime; but do know and
50 do you ali, that tits aigfeat way OF
as measured by human growth and ex-
pansion. We have no such men and
women yet, no age has ever had any,
as shall stand on the earth in that age
of peace that will not come until men
are worthy of it.-ERev. w. III. HI.

was warned by M. Roloff, his spiritual
