Mrs. E. g. Stuart in q lecture on the
"Healing Power of Thought" gives the fol-
lowing truth in which temperance people
will be interested. Speaking of the immense
power for either good or evil that mental
pictures or images in the mind, exert over
mank ind, she says: The man who stands
upon the platform and depicts the drunkard
reaching home to his starving family, and

What IS 70 be dOne2 Let us each and every

him? Did rdicule cure him? Or could you
help him by taking every occasion to repeat
