ure in Georgia, when the records of the
criminal courts show that in every
county which has adopted it crime has
been reduced not less than ninety per
cent. They tell you that it has greatly
impaired the value of real estate in
Atlanta, though the assessed value of
her real estate is million and half
dollars greater than it was year ago.
They tell you that it has killed the
business of Atlanta, when it is an adj
mitted fact that, in comparison with
other cities of the South, the present
activity in business circles is almost
phenomenal. They tell you that bust
ness men are leaving us. The grocery
keepers, drunkards, gamblers, loafers,
dead-beats and prostitutes are leaving
Just these and no more. Atlanta is

Time is Short.

We should consider it very high
to be truly testifying for Christ,
down here where everything is against
us and against him. Those who have
slept in Jesus can no longer do so; they
have left opportunities of serving him
which yet remain to us. Let us not
fail, then, to take them as they offer.
" The time is short "-short for suffer-
ing, and that is comfort to the wearied
short for serving, and that is stimulus
to the faithful, loving heart. That word
" as we have opportunity is very
blessed. Are we not conscious of miss
ing many opportunities? have often
thought of the sad and bitter feeling
that Peter, James and John must have
had when they looked back upon the
opportunity their gracious Lord afforded
them of watching with him and sooth-
ing him in his hour of deep distress.
What time for a servant to be resting
while the Master was in agony! But
they had missed their opportunity
such an opportunity as was never given
before to man, and never can be again
And are we not often like them? Christ
is not here personally, but he has left
us an opportunity of serving him.

Duty Done is Joy Begun.

To some, duty, like law, seems a
cherries and rayless thing. The sun
thinks not thus when he " reioiceth as
a bridegroom coming out of his cham
Der, or strong man to run a race"
There is a sunny joy in the motion, the
life, of all creatures, which, to the
tuned and attentive ear, is music, which
is but the hum of duty in the acting.
The song of creation is the hymn of
duty. Every bird that sings, every bee
that huns, every flower that lifts its
tremulous voice of praise to him who
has made so good world, every star,
bears its part in the great flood Of har-
mony which floats the tributes of the
duty of creation before the eternal
throne. For man, duty in the doing is
glory in the winning. To them who,
by patient continuance in well-doing"
(the complete picture of duty, seek
glory, honor and immortality, eternal
life. ~. b. BrOUn.
