yos how much this story is like that OF the
de leation Of fifteen years ago, and clap
az fhunder shakes the window-sill, saying:
with what measure ye mete, 1t shall be
nll sured to you againr'
You look in another direction. There is
like
AN EBULLITIOS OF TEMPER
IA Out a man to disadvantage. You,
man with calm pulse and fine digestion
and perfect health, cannot understand how
ANYBODY should be capsized in temper by
an infniteSimal annoyance, You say: Il
eouldn't be unbalanced in that way"
Perhaps you smile at a provOcatiOn that
makes another man swear. You pride
yourself on your imperturbability. You
saw with your manner, though you have
TOO much good taste to say it with your
words: II have q great deal more sense
than that man has; l have a great deal
more equipoise of temper than that man
has: l never could make such peril eX-
hibition of myselfas that man has made. "
NY brother, you do not realize that
that man was born with keen nervous
that for forty years he has
been under depicting process, that sick
ness and trouble have been helping undo
what was left of original healthfulness,
that much of his time it has been with
him like filing saws, that his nerves have
come to be merely tangle of disorders,
and that he is the most pitiahle object on
earth who, though he is very sick, does
not look sick and nobody sympathlzes.
Let me see. Did you not say
that Won could not be tempted to
an ebullition of temper? Some September
you come home from your summer water
ing-place and you have inside, away back
in your liver or spleen, what we call in
our day malaria, but what the
old folks called chills and
fever. You take quinine until your ears
are first buzzing bee hives and then roar
ing Niagaras. You take roots and herbsi
You take everything, You get well. But
the next day you feel uncomfortable, and
you yawn, and you stretch, aud you shlv-
er, and YOU consume, and you suffer.
Vexed more than you can tell, you cannot
sleep YOU cannot eat, you cannot bear to
see anything that looks happy. You 60
out to kick the cat that is asleep III the
sun. Your children's mirth was once
music TO you; now it is deatening. You
say. "Boys, stop that rackot!' You turn
your back from June to March. In the
family and in the neighbOrhood your pop
ularity is ninety-tive per cent of. The
world says: "What is the matter with that
diragreeable man? What a woe-begone
cOuntenance. l can't bear the sight OF
him." You have got your pay yat last-got
your nav. You feel just rs the man felt,
that man for whom you had no mercy, and
nv text comes in with wonderful Apostle
'ness-"With what measure ye mete, 1t
shall be measured to you again. In the
STUDY OF SOCIETY
| have come TO this conclusion, that the
most of the people want to he good, but
they do not exactly know how to make 1t
out. They MAKE enough good resolutions
to lift them into angelhoOd. The vast
majority of people who fall are the victims
of circumstances; they are captured by
ambuscade. If their temptations should
come out in regiment and fight them in a
fair field they would go out i'll the strength
and the triumph of David against Goliath
But they do not see the giant and they do
not see the regiment. Suppose temptation
should come to a man and say; Here is
alcohol; take three tablospO0ntuls OF 1t
day until you get dependent upon
il; then after that take hall
4 glass three times n day until
you get dependent upon that amount; then
90 on increasing the amount until you are
saturated from morning until night and
from night until morning" DO you sup
Dose any man would become n drunkard
in that way? Oh, no! Temptation come'
and saws: Take these hitters, take this
nervine, take this aid to digestion, take
this nightCap." The vast majority of meI
and women who are destroyed by OPIUM
and by rum first take them as medicines

cruet of cayenne pepper. BE easy on them
Do you know how that physician, that
LAWYER, that journalist became the victim
of dissipation? Why, the physician wa
kept up night by night on professional
duty. Life and death lowered in the bal
ance. His nervous system was eX
hausted. There came u time o
endemic: and whole families wer,
Frustrated and his nervous strength
was gone. He was all worn out in the ser
vice of the public, Now he must brace
himself up. Now he stimulates. IN
life of this mother, the life of this child
the life of this father, the life of this whole
family must be saved, and of all these fam
lilies must be saved and he stimulates, ant
he does it again and again. You may crit
! icize his Judgment, but remember the pro
cess 1t was not a selfish process by whlcl
/ he went down. 1t was magnificent gener
osity through which he fell. That attorne!
at the bar for weeks has been standing in
poorly ventilated court room, listening Il
/ the testimony and contesting in the dry
technicalities of the law, and now the TIM
has come for him to win up, and he mus
Mead for the life of his client, and hi
nervous system is all gone. If n
/ fails in that speech his ellen
perishes. If he have eloquence enough II
that hour his client Is saved. He stimu
lates. He must keep up. He says: -
must keep up" Having large practic'
you see how he is enthralled. You ma,
criticize his Judgment, but remember tn,
process. Do not be hard. That journal
ist has had exhausting midnight work
He has had to report speeches and Grafton
that keep him up until very late hour
He has gone with much exposure working
up some case of crime in company with
detective. He sits down at midnight t
write out his notes from a memorandum
scrawled on pad under unfavOrable elI
cumstances. His strength is gone. Fl
deity to the public intelligence, fidelity +
his own livelihood demand that he kee
up. He must keep up.
HE STIMULATES.
Again and again he does that, and b
goes down. You may criticize his~Jude
ment in the matter; but have mercy. ID
not be hard.
Oh, my friends, let us be resolved I
scold less and prey more! That which 4
