PRAYING AND WORRYING.

Too many praying people content
themselves with the mere act of pray
ing They seem to think they discharge
their whole duty by praying regularly
for themselves and others, without doing
anything to secure the results they seek.
TO suit their preference und practice, a
certain we'll known text should read,
gPray out your own salvation with fear
and trembling, while God and others
do. all the work" They pray for per-
sonal spiritual blessings, but do not la
Dor to cultivate the graces they seek.
Their prayers for the conversion of
others are accompanied by no word of
exhortation to seek the Lord and by no
gifts for the dissemination of that gos-
pei which is the only means for the
conversion of the world. Their pray
ers for "the poor and needy" are inverse
ly proportional to their efforts to re-
lieve them, reminding one of the colored
woman, who always sang most vocifer-
ously, ely abroad, mighty gospel,
with her eyes shut, when the missionary
box was being passed. 1t is astonish-
ing with what small investments in prac-
teal benevolence some people manage to
maintain very large pretensions to piety
and sympathy for the poor. True, their
prayers are somewhat stereotyped, and
are neither efFectual nor fervent, but
they continue to repeat them in public
and private, and clay the fattering unc-
ton to their souls" that in doing this
and nothing more they are piOus and
acceptable to God. forgetting that it is
written, "work out your own salvation, "
and sin every nation he that feareth
God and worketh righteousness is ae-
cepted of Him." Except, perhaps, upon
q dying bed, there is no such thing as
righteousness separate from good works.

THE ROCK OF AGES.

1t is the well-authenticated story of a
Highland mother, who, at the close of
spring, was suddenly overtaken in a
wild glen among the mountains, by
what was long recalled by her fellow
villagers as "the first May Storm" that
after attempting in vain for some time,
with her infant in her arms, to buffet
the whirling eddies, she laid the child
down among the heather and ferns in
the deep cleft of q rock, with the brave
resolve, if possible, to make her own
way home through the driving sleet,
and obtain succor for her little one.
She was found by the anxious neighbors
next morning, stretched cold and stiff
on snowy shroud. But the cry of the
babe directed them to the rock crevice
where it lay, all unconscious of its dan
ger, and from which it was rescued in
safety. Many long years afterward
that child returned from distant lands a
disabled soldier, covered with honorable
wounds. The first Sabbath of his home
coming, on repairing to city church,
he listened to an aged clergyman I'M
folding, in Celtic accents, the story of a
redeeming love. Strange to say, the
clergyman happened to be from the same
Highland glen where he had spent his
youth. Stranger still, he was illustra-
ting the divine tale with the anecdote,
to him so familiar, of the widow and
her saved child. A few days afterward
the pastor was summoned to visit the
death-bed of that old soldier 81 am

that greeted the former, as he stood by

THE LONDON ssTIM ESQ AND
DRINK.

On an examination of the usual annual
police returns of England, especially
those of Preston and Stafford from which
the London Times is startled from the
fact that in one year nearly $4,000
drunken persons were arrested for drunk
enness in that district, while five years
ago in the same time there were 10000
an increase of 1900. And IN Man.
chester the drunken persons taken into
custody was two thirds of the whole
number of offenders. These and other
facts have provoked the Times to whet
its steel and launch a home thrust at
the drink traffic. 1t thus speaks out
A population of drunkards is popula-
ton of brutes and very poor brutes too,
being objects of disgust rather then
hostility. Then this phrase occurs,
enormous increase of intoxication"
and bitterly does it complain of the woe
and waste and want which are the nat
ural growth of the evil root. 1t then
goes on to say--that In Manchester the
drunkenness on the Sabbath was three
times as great as that of any less sacred
day. And what terrible picture of
the social state of England is it when
so conservative and powerful exponent
of public opinion tells us if the police
apprehended everybody who takes twice
as much as does him good, the jails would
not hold 1.-THE of the offenders and we
should have to fold them in huge bar
racks like captured armies. And yet
this great journal with all its array Of
talent and discernment, has failed yet
to discover that moderate genteel tip
ping is the source of all drunkenness,
the beginning of deadly peril, and
that total abstinence is the only safe
and certain remedy for the evil.

Rum AND CRIME.-The startling fact
that 64,399 cases were brought before
the police court in New York city. we
get from the annual report of the board
of police justices during the last year.
This is one to twelve of the whole pop
ulatiOn of the city. Nearly one half
100000 were cases of intoxication,
and half the rest were for crimes induc-
ed by drinks-and it is estimated that
to the drink pest IS due from rs to 90
per cent, all of the business of the po-
lice courts. Add to the 1000 licensed
houses 5000 unlicensed. and we have
10000 drinking places in the city, and
at the low estimate of $4,000 year
each for liquors, making the enormous
aggregate in addition to the cost Of
crime, pauperism and vagrancy, $780,
100000 a hundred times worse than
wasted. And yet numerous politicians
and officials in city and country are
choice blind to these astounding facts.

to dslodge the mucus from my throat and head before

my tonsils we're liberated and so much inhamed that

eminent surgeon in regard to an operation on them,
but at his request postponed it, The constant inam-
nation and liberation in my throat caused by the pos

rtated and infamed my lungs that l coughed nces-
santly,-a deep, hard cough Meanwhile my system
began to show the effect of this disease so that lost
flesh grew pale and showed every symptom of an early
deaf by consumption. When matters had reached this
stage or about six months ago, began the use of
SANFoRD's RADICAL CURE FOR CATARRH. After using
the first bottle began to improve rapidly. The first

A DRUNKEN FARM.-Often and often,
while riding through the country, have
we passed farms whose history we could
read at glance. The door yard fence
had disappeared-burnt up in the shift
nnnainte ID: ana Of drink. The house was
of glass were stopped with rags or old
hats; the chimney stood in a lettering
attitude; the doors swung in creaking
fashion on one hinge the steps were
unsteady, like its owner everything was
dilapidated, decaying, untidy, cherries.
A single look showed that its owner
traded too much at one shop-the rum
shop. The spirit of thrift had been
killed by the spirit of the still. Fresh
paint, repairs, improvements, good cheer
and beauty for the home-all had gone
down the farmers throat. Outside mat
tiers were the same. The barn-yards
were wretched sites the doors were off,
the roofs leaky, the gates down, the
carts crazy, the tools broken, the fodder
scarce and the stock poor and wretched.
Neglect, cruelty. wastefulness, ruin-all
had come from drink. The farm show
ed the trail of the same serpent. The
struggling and tumbled stone walls, the
rickety fences, the weed-grown fields,
the sparse and half-headed crops. the
dying orchard, all said to the passer-by
"Whiskey did it" Drink had given
the plaster of a mortgage instead of a
coating of fertilizers, sloth instead Of
labors, unthrift in the place of care, and
Generalization in lieu of system. The
farm was drink-blighted, and advertised
its condition as plainly as its owner did
when he came Keeling home from town.
One of the most impressive temperance
lectures, for young farmers especially, is
good look at drunken farm.-GoIden
