earnest and heartfelt sympathy, though
conscious that the Christening love OF
Him who doeth all things well, will pro-
vide a balm for their now bleeding

Solomon's Sin and Restoration.

The following is synopsis Of Mr..
Louther's Sunday evening sermon:
Did not solomon, King of Israel, sin by these
thingsi Yet among many nations there was no
King like him who was so loved Of his God.
Nehemiah. XIII; 3D.
We have here pictured the fall and restoration Of
the worlds wisest king; but if we would complete
the picture. must read the book of Ecclesiates.
This book is like danger signal upon tue sea, by
which we read of the rocks and reefs upon which
others have been wrecked, and by which we, who
come after. may avoid dangers into which others
fell.
He who studies history wisely does SO in order
that he may learn from tbs experience of others,
the results that follows certain courses of conduct
To illustrate, ii was observed by Mr.. Greeley, in
his Arctic explorations, that those who yielded first
TO the influence of cold, were those vino used al
cofol. The next to yield were those who used to-
5acco. The only survivors of that company were
those vino used neither alcohol nor tobacco in any
form.
In India the British officers obserred that the
soldiers who yielded first to the influence of the
extreme heat of that climate, were those who used
alcohol We may escape these dangers if we will
heed the warnings of wrecked humanity.
After having wandered into almost every form
of sin, Solomon lifts a warning voice to the world
and says: "Fear God and keep his command
ments, for this is the whole duty OF man.
The sins into which he had fallen were: let,
Intimate relationship WITH foreigners. 1t was
Gods design that Judaism should be exclusive.
BEt Solomon married wives from the surrounding
heather nations, erected for them temples Of wor-
ship. thus corrupting his family and court; and
bringing the worship Of Jehovah down TO level
with that of half hesthen-idolatry. In chris
tianty he who lowers the standard Of morals in
der to become popular with the world is pursue
ing the same course. I'd, the unrestrained pursuit
of pleasure. He Quilted religion and gave him
self up. heart and soul to rlrth and wine and wo-
men and wealth; he buiied great works of houses
and orchards and vineyards and gardens and foun-
tains and pools. He had servants and maidens
and music ''of all the kinds known among the
sons of men," Yet in WEAKNESS and disgust he
turns away and calls it ''vanity and ycxation of
spirit" These are the wanderngs of an inalortJl
soul. infnity in its yastness feeding on husks an
infinite spirit marring itself with folly.
The saddest book in all the Bible stands before
lie as a warning from God who would spare us Bit
tcrncas if he could.

Senator Blair, from the committee
on education and labor, in the q. S.
Senate on the 2Gth Of July, submitted
a favorable report from the majority of
the committee on a joint resolution
proposing that all amendment to the
constitution in relation to alcoholic
liquors and other poisonous beverages
be submitted to the legislatures of the
states for ratification. The amend
ment provides that from and after the
year 1900 the manufacture and sale
and importation of distilled alcoholic
and intoxicating liquors, except for
medicinal, mechanical, chemical and
scientific purposes, and for use in the
arts, shall cease. The report which
accompanied the prohibition amend
ment says the committee do not deem
it necessary to discuss the evils osalco-
hol, but believe the people have right
to decide what measures shall be taken
for the regulation or extirpation Of
this traffic. Why. it asks, should they
be denied the opportunity to be heard
in the only forum which can pass upon
the question? When any considerable
aud respectable portion of the Aneri-
san people desire to plead their case in
the great tribunal Of sovereigns, who
in free country decide every question
of fundamental issue in the last resort,
it is the duty of congress to enact such
preliminary leg;slatioa as is here pro-
posed so that under the forms of the
constitution they can be heard en- the
question Of its own amendment. To
deny this is of the very essence OF des-
po;isin and for congress unreascnaDly
to refuse the hearing is lust cause Ter
revolution.
