The Church on Temperance.


The following on Temperance is fur
nished and published at the request of
the Women's Christian Temperance
Association of Kirksville-Ed. GRAPHIC
If the churches would mass together
as Prohibitionists, they could drive
from the earth that ten headed monster
which is flooding the world with rum
Nine-tenths of the clergy in this state
as in others, ale silen: upon the tenn
perance question. Many churches
close their doors to temperance lectures
and meetings. Church members talk
temperance, but pots for party. They
are fearful that they will lose the state
making it secondary to church and poll
tics. The present attitude of the church
and its ministers on the question of
temperance and other reforms, is max
ing in6dels by the thousand.
Fact-please tell the truth-don't
mislead the people. You say that the
church does not sanction the liquor
traffic Of to-day, but Is this enough?
There are hundreds of good men and
who are not in the church, who
would cooperate with you In this work.

From Six IN the morning. I'LL eight al
night, he tended a spinning.frame in
the cotton.mill. He received better
pay, and he also found that he could
get chance to read in " orking hours.
His method was to secure his book to
the spinning.frame, and then catch the
sentences as best he could. A SPIN
ning.frame in cotton mill would not
then run itself as now, SO that David's
attention to his book was interrupted,
but he could snatch short extract,
and turn it over IN his mind till the op.
portunity came for another look.
1t was ahard way to pick up know.
ledge, and yet the experience was help.
full. He was known TO say that if he
had to begin life again, he should like
to begin 'it in the same lowly style, and
to pass through the same hardy train
ing"
One book may make marked cor
ner in on, thinking, and the cotton
spinner turned such a corner in the
reading of Doctor Dicks PHILOSOPHY
Of Future State"
When he was twenty-one, David was
stirred by an appeal for missionary
workers in China, and he resolved to
give himself to the work of preparation
for mission service. In Glasgow, poor
and needy, but resolute and plucky,
the young man pushed his preparatory
studies.
Then he went to live with the Rev.
Richard Cecil, at Ongar, where mission.
ary students were sent by the London
Missionary Society to stand, if they
could, three months trial, and if sue
cessful they went on to another grade
of studies.
1t will interest all who are trying to
push forward to know that Livingstone
was not ranked here as success. He
attempted to preach. He was very
successful IN giving out the text, but
but he could give nothing else. He
miserably stuck just :here. He ex-
claimed:
Friends, l have forgotten all / have
to say
Out of the pulpit and out of the chap
ell he went. Livingstone was judged,
at the close of the three months to be
a failure.
Somebody. though, in power, want
ed to give him another chance. He
tried again, and was accepted.
In the winter of 1870 he sailed for
Africa. With Livingstone went. as a |
passenger IN the same vessel, the old,
resolute, self-denying. self.sacrl6cing
will. Like romance reads the story
of his missionary travels, opening up
new river and lake regions, making dis
coveries that have put a crown of lau-
rel about his brow.
One ofthe great men of this century,
the body that his loyal servants carried
month after month through Africa to
the sea. was laid down to Its honored
rest in Westminster Abbey in 1874.
Like stars to light the way of every
SIR lggling boy. are Livingstone's words:
Fear God and work hard" to
be willing, also, "to go anywhere, pro-
vlded 1t be foywa,a."

PRAYING and Hanging Bee.

A Richmond (Va) Special of the Sd says;
Charles Henry Lee, colored, was hanged
to-day for the murder of Daniel Miller, an
other colored man, in Henrico county last
February. During bis confinement he pro-
fessed religion and was baptised. Last
evening, at his request, prayer meeting
was held in his cell which lasted until MD
night. At this morning another prayer
meeting began, lasting until IL. This was
participated in by about twenty five people,
and the prisoners paramoHr, Barbara
Miller under sentence of death for par
ticipation in Lees crime Barbara again
visited Lees cell, and assisted him in put
ting on pair of white gloves she bought
for him to wear on his journey to New Jer-
usalem. She then kissed him, and was re-
moved from the cell. AT the scatfold there
was another prayer meeting and preaching.
Lee also made an address advising all not
to be led off into wickedness as he had
been. and those who had children to raise
them so they would not fall from grace.
He thanked God he had time TO prepare
himself. He now felt that he was ut TO
die His death was speedy one. Before
the body was cut down the sheriff mounted
the scaffold and informed tbe crowd in the
ward that collection would be taken to
enable the parents OF Lee to remove the
body to their home. Some of the 5,OCO
people outside the jailyard seized long lad
ders reaching to the top of the prison wall,
and were thus enabled to have full view
of the execution.

was passenge- on board the Melrose Cas-

reason to suppose that any one aboard when
| the ship left London knew anything about
Carey. When the vessel was made fast to
the do ok at Port Elizabeth, in rather jubi-
iant manner the informer supervised the
landing of his baggage. He then boarded
the gang plank and walked down the
wnar'. The moment he stepped upon the

pistol close to his breast over his heart. and
fired. Carey staggered and fell, out before
