his iellow.men cndcavor to condem II

Flee for Thy Life.

Lot and Joseph were not the only
ones whose safety required fOrcible
flight from their immediate surround
ings. The promise to the COrinthlan
Christian was "GOd is faithful, who
will not suffer you to be tempted above
that We are able but will with the
temptation also make way to escape,
that We may be able to bear it," This
language is applicable to the truly faith
full in all the ages but it contains no
encouragement to such as voluntarily
enter into temptation, nor to such as
being overtaken by temptation suffer
themselves to remain passive. So weak
is the flesh, even when the spirit is
willing, that Christ admOnishes his fol-
lowers to ''watch and pray, lest they en-
ter into temptation" 1t is those who,
"haeing done aU," are enabled to
'stand." Avoidance and resistance are
the price of victory over the seductive
influences of wicked world.
A young man of pleasing address,
but of dissipated habits, came to talk
with me about the interests of his soul.
He expressed a strong desire to reform,
and to lead a Christian life but, said
he, with great emotion, his eyes filling
with tears, "YOu have no idea of the
degree and the strength of the tempta-
tiOns to which L am exposed" urged
immediate acceptance of Him who is
able to succOr the tempted and rescue
the fallen and then sought to point
out the imperative duty of stunning
temptation and standing firm when I'M
avOidably assailed. But, the next day,
I hn rNnrnh of n lnty
grOggery, surrounded by number of
his boon companions, joining in the
coarse joke and the bacchanalian laugh.
Years have gone by. l know not
with certainty the sequel, but so far as
l have been able to learn, that young
man has long since been lost to any
appreciative sense even of a moral life.
Young man, do you feel that your
temptations are multitudinous and
peculiarly irresistible? Permit me to
ask, How many of these are really I'M
avOidable? All, how many of these
have you actually brought upon your
selfq Have you not often, to your sOr-
row, tempered with dangerous influ-
ences, trusting to your own Wanted
strength of will ? In all such cases you
have simply reaped the fruits of pre-
sumptuOus folly.
Divine grace alone is adequate to
sustain us in temptations hour; and
that only is available in connection with
aUOiddnce and resistance. We shall
never, in this life, Outgrow the petition
in the Lords Prayer, ''Lead us not into
temptation" Nor may we ever with
importantly set aside the inspired coun-
sci, ENTER not into the path of the
wicked, and go not in the way of evil
men. Avoid it, pass not by it, turn
from it and pass away."-L. r. James
in american Messenger.

A Backwoodman's Story.

l tell you it's an awful thing to go
through, said Tom MOpson-a mans
last night on earth, when he knows he's
got to be hung in the mOrniD'.
Why, were you ever in that fix 3? IN
quired one of the listeners.
If you'd like to hear it, answered
Tom, will tell you the story.
By general invitation he proceeded,
first replacing his quid with fresh one.
It's now mOre'n thirty years, said
Tom, since / took notion to go and
settle in the backwOods.
There wasn't another cabin within
five miles of mine, which made it lit
tie lonesome whites; but it's good
thing to be out of reach o. bad COM
pany, and l always liked an indepen-
dent life-so on the whole, got along
quite comfortable.
One night, as l was about putting out
the light after saying my prayers, afore
goin' to bed, there came a quick knock
at the door.
l hurried to open it when a man stag
gered in. His look was wild, and his
face pale.
Helpl help! he gasped; Pm afraid l
have got my death wound
l caught him in my arms, and half
carried him to bed.
It's there, he said, when l had laid
him down, placin' his hands on his
breast.
Quick as 1 could 1 tore open his
clothes, and close to where l could see
his heart beatin' was round red mark,
with a slow stream of blood trickling
from it. I'd seen bullet wounds afOre,
and knOw'd at once what was the
trouble.
1 feel am dyin' said the stranger,
after lying awhile with his eyes shut.
hope not, said I'D go fol- doc
tor, but there is none higher than ten
miles.
'Twouldn't be no use, said he. Nc
doctor could get at where the trouble
is. I'm film up with blood inside, and
it'll soon choke me.
/ knOw'd what he meant. He was
shot in the chest and was bleeding in
wardly.
There's one thing 1 want you to do
says he, on your word of honor to q
dying man.
What is it said 1.
Will you give me your word to do it
said he.
1 will, said I, if it is thing an honest
man can do.
l wouldn't ask you to do nothing else
says he-nOt in my last moments. Pve
got my death from one I've always low
ed dearly. Should he be discovered
and punished for his crime, it woulC
disgrace name l prize more than life
No one has seen me come here. WheI
Pm dead, bury me in some secret spot
and say nOthin', and then nobody will
ever know my fate but you and tn,
man whose conscience will be his owl
punishment.

turned up to mine. There was some
thin so beseechin' in it, that hadn'
the heart to say no.

He lay quite spell-then took away
his hand, and from an inside pOcke
took out thick wallet.
Take this-it is yours, he said, putin
it in my hand-there's no one else nov
