Textbooks in Public Schools,

The effort to introduce text books
into public schools ought to receive
the cordial support OF all friends Of
temperance, Mrs. M. H. Hunt, of Mas
sachusetts, is doing most effective
work in this direction in many of our
Western States. She should have the
cooperation of all friends of the cause.
President Noah Porter, of Yale Col
lege, says:
II have no doubt that the State in
its public schools ought to give in
struction in respect to those duties and
moral relations which are generally
acknowledged to be essential to the
welfare of the commonwealth. A
knowledge of the duty of temperance,
and the sin and evil of intemperance,
are both recognized as essential to this
welfare. 1t follows that the State has
the right, and is under the obligation,
to give such instruction as may thus
promise to be useful and effective for
good"

Some papers that profess to respect
religion and recognize its influence for
good, take every opportunity to slur
christianity when a professional mem
Der of church proves hypocrite.-
"a prominent church member gone

the mans piety and love of the church

truth is all such characters are coun-

purpose of personal gain.

Colquitt on Temperance

United States Senator elect, A. H.
Colquitt, until recently Governor of
Georgia, lately addressed very large
audience in Plymouth Church, Cleve-
land, Ohio, at the invitation of the
Woman s Christian Temperance Union.
He is repe rted by the Leader as saying
nat GAS Governor of Georgia he had
seen many instances of lives ruined by
liquor, and the sorrows and crimes
which it caused had been brought to
his notice so forcibly that he had re-
solved to do all he could to mitigate
the curse upon the people. He ap-
pealed to fathers to guard the foot
steps of their sons, to heads of fami-
lies to Danish wines and liquors from
TIE tables and sideboards, to young
women to avoid the companionship of
young men given to debauchery or it's
approaches. He severely denounced
social customs which seem to require
the service of wine for their proper
observance A short time ago the del
egates at national medical conven-
ton held at Atlanta were entertained
at the executive mansion. The gov
ernor furnished no drink for them ex-
cept cold tea, which was placed in de-
canters in the rooms. Toasts at the
banquet were drunk in cold tea, and
the people enjoyed themselves, they
said, better than they would have
done had the customary wine been
furnished. The governor said that
was making excellent pro-
gress all over the country. In Geor-
gia two-thirds of the country had Sc
cured actual prohibition. That has
come about in State where there has
been no special agitation on the SUBJ
ject of temperance, but the people had
grown into realization of the evils
of intemperance from their own obser-
walton. The speaker believed that all
over the Union public sentiment was
constantly forming against the liquor
traffic, and he expressed confidence in
the ultimate deliverance of the United
States from the liquor curse"

An observing exchange says: at is
queer how inclined some people are to
take hints never intended for them,
while those who ara really aimed at
never feel hit in the least. Newspa-
per publishers particularly find this
true. When dun is printed it is Ia
ken by those who always pay prompt
ly, while the delinquents think it new
er means them"

Have a Plan in Farming.

The great fault with American far
mers is a constant desire for change.
The farm is rarely thought of as the
home which the children are to occupy
during lifetime and then leave to
their heirs. There is too much chang
ing with the crops-frst one thing
then another, the result of which is a
shifting that is proftless. For a few
years it may be that sheep raising is
the leading feature of the farm, soon
to be followed by rearing breed of
cattle, or cultivating hops, tobacco, or
even rhubarb. The general manage
ment of farm should be planned once
for all, it only being subject to those
changes that an improvement in agri-
cultural methods suggest. The work
of farm shouli 90 on regularly from
year to year, so that even in midwin-
ter the farmer may make his arrange
ments and complete his scheme of
work for the whole season. The man
who is trying to sell his farm, has his
heart in some other locality or bust
ness, and he who is ready to devote
his energies to some new crop or meth
cd, is seldom on the highway to sue
cess. 1t is well to try that which is
new, but not by giving up the old and
we'll tried methods. -Ameraea Agqi-

=" WAYSIDE MESSENGERS"
NUMBER THREE.


We promised to furnish notes of the
Missionary Anniversary for this num-
Der of our Messengers" 1t would
be impossible to give your readers a
fair idea, in so short an article, of the
beauty of the entertainment, for such
it might be justly termed, so we will
only write of the most enjoyable fea-
ture. We say enjoyable, because it
was something we could take home
with us, and feel glad and happy over;
something we could fold down in our
hearts and thank the Great God for
in the silent watches of the night
All it was no small thing to hear
nan speak before crowded house, in
he cause of Missions, who only few
hort years ago was considered hope
essly given over to the indulgence OF
! depraved appetite for strong drink.
Methinks the angels must have rested
heir snowy wings mid-air to listen to

all happened, how this wonderful
change was wrought, but we do know

OUR LOCAL OPTION COLUMN.
Courses Come Home to Roost.'

This is the caption of an article we
read short time ago, in which the
writer shows bow many persons who
thoughtlessly give advice to take wine
or brandy ~ medicinal purposes,
finally reap the reward of their folly.
We do not mean to say that alcoholic
drinks may not be beneficial in ex-
IRENE cases of sickness, but to give a
little for every trifing ailment, such
as little cold, cough, or Indigestion
is sure to bring curse, a sorrow upon
the one who does it. "Woe unto
him that giveth his neighbor drink, :"
is said by One who never lies nor re-
penis. Business men sometimes rec
ommend little, in some form, to a
clerk, and after little while notices
the clerk is neglecting business, and
must be discharged because business
suffers. He suffers in business, but
who is responsible for the damage done
to that young man? "Be sure" says
the divine Aathqr, your sin will fint
you out" We knew good mother

oaOm son became drunkard-she was
