Christ Can Set You Free.

The following true story is so good
that having heard it told a few days
since, we deemed it worth repetition.
1t is a scrap of the life of Major e., a
Christian gentleman well known in
both Chicago and st. Louis. At one
time. although reared in a delightful
Christian home, he had secretly indulg
ed in the "mocker," TIL he could no
longer conceal it from his wife, His
father and hiotlier were spending the
season With him. On one evening, un~
able to hold out longer, he came in
quite visibly under the influence of
wife. He could not fail to see that his
family wete dill grieved and shocked,
and embaffassihent ensued. He walk
ed out in restlessness. At lengthpassing
his mother, with tears streaming down
her cheeks, lie heard her say, "My
son, Jesus Christ can set you free"
He passed on to an upper room, where
some boon companions had been invit-
to assemble at nine o'clock. He ap-
preached the wine table, and, turning
ont a glass, said, "Mother says Jesus
Christ can set me free l wonder if he
can; l want to be Free and he passed
on. While the son paced the floor
above, the family prayed below that the
"friends" might be prevented from
coming. Still he paced, and still they
prayed, till after nine o'clock. Again
and again he repeated, as he walked.
"Mothef says Jesus can set t!te free.' -
And he finally kneeied before the wine,
saying 30 Lori Jesusl mother says you
can set me free. If you can. do it; for
| want to be free" And he rose and
descended to the parlor, kneeling with
The family and saying, II have told
the Lord what you said. mother, and ]
believe he will set me free"
From that hour he has been saeed
from :the fearful appetite, and ever
since lie attests the power of the grace
Of God to save the inebriate from his
appetites. This is the proper channel
through which to save the enslaved
1t is this Christian element which is to
reform society. It is in this path that
the Womans Christian Temperance
union is trying to work, and pray, and
believe,

Frunki.'s New Years Gift.

Frsanl<ic's New Year. Gift.
Mamma, said frankie, New Years mcr
II had a dream last night,
Which walked me, Q, so long before
The coming of the light!
While lying on my bed, l thought
1t really must be tfde,
And longed to hase the daylight come
To tell it all to you.
"You said last night you were too poor
A New Years gift to buy,
And when you give good ight kiss,
A tear was in your eye.
You need not sorrow any more,
An angel brought one down
Last night that's better far to me
Than all saw in town.
81 fell asleep while looking at
Tha, pretty, golden star,
Which twinkles at me every night
From its blue home afar.
When all at once upon its rays
A white-winged angel came,
And, standing by my little bed,
She softly spoke my name.
"Then handed me golden sword
This, frankie, is for you
read upon the sheath, The Good,
The Beautiful, and True
drew it ont; upon the blade,
Fighting against the Wrong.
In large. raised letters met my eye;
And then she said BE strong.
"rm crippled boy Sid |;
This sword is not for me,
1 am not good or beautiful,
NY scar marked face You see,
And very much, kind one, fear,
That I'm not ALWAYS true,
I'm not the boy the sword is for,
I'll give 1t back to you
"Then mamma, dear, she sweetly said,
Your ill-acarred face see,
But if you're good and true, my boy,
Then beautiful you'll be-
She put the sword in my weak hand,
Said, Fight against the Wrong'
And then, mamma, | promised her
| would, the whole year long"

Potter, the Printer,

Having been turned back by the late
ly prevailing fever, in his effort to
make lecturing tour through the
State, will shortly make another start
in the same direction. In his lecture
on truth he pays the following tribute
to the preachers and doctors who fell at
their posts during the late epidemic:
II it were in my
power l would write in letters of fire
across the heavens the names of those
noble martyrs who fell at the post OF
self-assigned duty. that all future gen.
erations might there find ablaze of
eternal light which should illuminate
their path to glory, and point the lesson
that mali 8 first duty-his highest pri-
vilege-his uoblest ohoice-his oppor-
tunity to walk in the very foot steps of
Christ Himself, is to labor, and if need
be, dis in the service of his fellow man.
Without hope of promotion in this
world, with no shouts OF comrades,
clash of arms, nor excitement of battle
ringing in their ears, with no appeals
to patriotism stirring their hearts, with
no incentive to follow the example OF
those daring enough to charge into the
blazing breach that their names might
be spoken among men, they stand be-
tween the suffering and death, calmly
awaiting his stroke, faithful to the end
and earnest in their efforts to stay the
work of the dread destroyer. OF such
material are true heroes made. Among
such men are martyrs found.
Such men needs no storied marble
nor sculptured urn. Their names are
enshrined in the hearts of those who
may we'll be proud to claim as once fell
low citizens, and there erect to their
memories q monument more enduring
than brass, which shall stand until men
cease to pay tribute to real worth, and
their names will live as sacred words so
long as men have language. They
reached the pinnacle of glory with one
step when they took the path OF duty.
though leading to the grave, and stood
facing the dark river, heroic IN their
courage, sublime in their strength,
with true, manly hearts swelling with
sympathy for the afflicted. aud with
their spotless lives in their hands,
ready for the sacrifice in the name of
suffering humanity.
"Great love hath no man than this:
That q man lay down his lfo for his
friend"
