not abuse it applies to wine as to ev-
erything else. We are to use it and
not abuse it. Our first duty then, is
to learn what is its legitimate use and
what its abuse. For myself, | think
it pretty well settled by scientific in
vestigation, on the one hand, that al
cohol is never a food, on the other,
that it is an invaluable and indispens-
able medicine. To use it as bever-
age, as one uses milk or water, is to
abuse it; to use it for enfeebled
health, impaired digestion, weakened
vital powers, especially in its lighter
forms, and in the case of men passed
middle life, whose activities make the
waste of the system more rapid than
the supply, is to use it Alright. Wheth-
er this view of its right use be correct
OF not, it certainly has a right use !;
and our first duty is to find out what
that use is. If we al in doubt, sskeep
on the safe side of certainty" God
makes wine as well as the grape !;
but that does not justify its indis-
eliminate use in society. God made
the peach stone as we'll as the peach
but this does not justify the folly of
the boy who collected cupful of the
stones, ate them all at sitting, and
died of prussic-acid poisoning. We
are to use Gods gifts with prudence (;
not merely with selfish prudence, but
with loving, tender prudence. And
in an age and country such as ours,
with the liquor traffic what it is, the
drinking usages what they are and
the awful flood of evils that flow
from both, every Christian man must
pause and ponder before, by any act
of his, he contributes to strengthen
those drinking customs before by
any example of his he leads near the
edge of great peril his weaker broth
en- On this ground, and on this
alone, can the temperance reform be
based. All the world is yours: that
is the first principle, to be defended
at every hazard and against every at
tack. You cannot surrender liber-
ty if the liberty is not yours. Paul,
who insisted on the right of the
Christian to judge for himself wheth
er he would eat or abstain from eat
ing, would have insisted in our day
on the right of every Christian to
Judge for himself whether he will
drink or abstain from drinking. To
his own Master he standeth or falleth.
Who art thou that judgest thy neigh
Dor? Ye are Christ's: that is the Sec
ond principle, to be maintained at ev-
cry hazard and against every subtle
suggestion of sensuousness and self
ishness. Paul, who would eat no in
nocent meat if by so doing he would
endanger a weaker brother, would
not in our day have imperiled immor-
tai souls by joining in the drinking
customs of society-customs danger

MODERATE DRINKING.

The New York Eranatner makes
the following uncomfortable state
ments about business men in New
York, which may be true of the same
class of men in other places 1.-THE
habit of drinking frequently during
the day, and of the strongest liquors,
has become common among the army
of well-dressed and well-behaved
people who live uptown and come
down below Canal street every day
to their work-hrokers, merchants,
clerks, editors, lawyers, reporters,
and so on. Two reasons impel them
to this course. The first Is the sup
posed need of stimulant to sustain
the tagging energies under the hard
brain-and- body-taking labors of the
day the second the pernicious hab-
it of 'treating,' which makes it imper-
alive upon every man who drinks at
all to drink with his friends whenever
they meet. Thousands of men arc
compelled to drink wine OF brandy
when they do not want it, and would
rather let it alone, simply out of
foolish Difference to this absurd Gus
tom of treating, or, as they persuade
themselves, on account of the fatigue
resulting from overwork. They arr

Mrs. Howe had caller. The call

went up stairs to help Mrs. Howe,
who was dressing as fast as she could.
Trixie was in mammals room looking

Nina.
"Oh, bother!" sighed Mrs. Howe;

Trixie put down her book, and

THE TIME TO BE PLEASANT.

'sMother's cross !" said Maggie,
coming out into the kitchen with a
pout on her lips.
Her aunt was busy ironing, but she
looked up and answered Maggie.
''Then it is the very time for you to
be pleasant and helpful. Mother
was awake great deal in the night
with the baby"
Maggie made no reply. She put
on her hat and walked off into the
garden. But a new idea went with
her.
"The very time to be pleasant and
helpful is when other people are cross.
Sure enough" thought she, "that
would be the time when it would Go

mother sat soothing and tending a

dimpled the corners of his lips.

said her mother.

for ride.

The kind words and the kiss which

to her eyes, and her voice trembled
