INTEMPERANCE.

The foulest blot on the civilization of the
nineteenth century is intemperance. In a
pecuniary point of view, intemperance is
reducing multitudes to beggary; and, in a
spiritual point of view, it is sending thou
sands to perdition. If the money which is
annually spent in the United States for
strong drink, was expended in building
school houses, it would be amply sufficient
to furnish brick academy for every two
miles square of the whole territory. The
government stills cost the country more in
one year than the church of God does in
ten. They are disgrace to any govern
ment. Unfortunately, professed Christians
are not fully awake on this subject. Let re-
fecting men devote their thoughts calmly
to it. Let Gods professed people, of every
name, array themselves against whisky
drinking. 1t is idle to suppose that COM
munity of drunkards can be either rich or
contented. II ever whisky drinking is put
down, it will be by the united effort OF
Christians. This is a part of the appropri,
ate work of the church. Let the individual
members of the visible church be faithful
in this matter.

HSs- Every converted man should be q

HI Every converted man should be a
preacher of the gospel; not from the pulpit,
but by the wayside, or from such position as
each is called to fill. Common gratitude
should prompt every one who has receiv--
ed the inestimable blessing of peace and
pardon to proclaim the fact; silence, under
such circumstances, is ingratitude and sin.
The desire to bring others into the same
blissful relations to God should incite US in
the same direction. When one hears the
Saviour's voice. saying, "Thy sins are for
given thee" the spirit that prompts the
Question, IAN 1 my brothers keeper"
takes its flight and there comes an earnest
desire to bring in those who are without;
to seek and to save the lost. 1t is by pro-
claiming the truth, too, that one becomes
rooted and grounded in the truth. Repeat
ing the story intensifes it in our own hearts
and makes it still more potent and precious.
The proclaiming of the gospel not only
burns it into other souls but into your own
also. Tell the story, then, and repeat it
DER and DER.

LIFE,S TRIALS.

From childhood to old age we look for
ward to better time, but the better time
never comes. AS life advances its cares and
trials increase in number and magnitude.
We need something which does not grow
out of the ground, or lie imbedded in its
bosom. Toll will not produce it, gold can
not buy it. Without that something we
never can be happy, with it the cares of life
flee away and it's trials are bearable. We
need what God only can give--the pardon
of our sins and fitness for heaven.

OUR DELIVERER.

One of the petitions contained in what is
commonly called the Lords Prayer is: Ode
liver US from evil" This world is full of
evil, and this is the case because the human
heart is deceitful and desperately wicked.
Our troubles have their origin in our own
hearts. The evils under which the human
family groan do not spring from the defects
Of something without us, but from the cor
ruption within us. 1t would require life
time to make out catalogue of evils. 1t
would require more than this. 1tWOuld re-
uuire all time and all eternity. The proge-
ny of sin is so numerous that it cannot be
counted.
1t is gilmore importance to us to know how
and by whom we can be delivered from evil
than to know exactly how many evils each
human heart is capable of producing. Uni
versally men are struggling to rid them
selves of the evils which follow them as
their own shadow. Various have been the
plans devised by men for the purpose of de-
livering individuals and society, generally,
from evil. They have all failed and every
contrivance, which is human, must forever
fail to remove the effects of sin. Legisla-
tors may enact laws and attach to these laws
severe penalties, but these laws with severe
penalties never can remove evil from either
individuals or society. In fact, they have
tendency to increase the evils OF life.
Men, universally, have an uncomfortable
propensity to violate law.
The fountain of evil is beyond the reach
of human legislators, consequently, human
laws can neither prevent crime nor deliver
society from evil. The fountain of evil is
the human heart. God only can take away
the hard and stony heart, and give, in its
stead heart of flesh. The means which
God, in his wisdom, uses to effect this de-
liverance is the gospel Of his own son, Jesus
Christ. The agent in changing the human
heart is the Holy Spirit.
This is either a truth capable of being
proven by facts, or it is a falsehOod. The
facts which prove that the gospel of Jesus
Christ is the power of God unto salvation
are, like the stars which light up the dark
ness of night, SO many that we cannot count
them. Whatever of real good any member
of the human family enjoys is deliverance
from sin, effected by the gospel of Jesus
Christ. Nothing is more common than the
practice of tracing results to wrong causes.
This is strikingly true in respect to the de-
liverances from evil, which are wrought con-
tinually in our behalf. The truth is, if all
the blessings which we receive through the
mediation of Jesus Christ were taken from
us, and all that we derive from every other
source were allowed to remain with us, we
would find that our all was gone. 1t is
Christ that delivers us from the reigning
power of sin in our own hearts and from the
evil effects of sin as they swarm from the
bosoms of our fellow men. The only power
in the universe which can bring good out of
evil, light out of darkness, is the mediato-
rial power Of Jesus Christ, as exhibited in
his gospel.

not bestowed until existence has been starved
