A distinguished General related tHIS .IEi-
thetic incident of his own experience in our
civil war;. The Generals son was lieu
tenant of battery. An assault was being
made. The father was leading his division
in n charge. AS he pressed on in the field,
suddenly his eye was caught by the sight OF
n dead battery officer lying just before him.
One glance showed him it was his own SON
His fathcrly impulse was to stop beside tho
dear body and give vent to his grief; but the
duty Of the moment demanded that he press
on in the charge. SO, quickly snatching one
hot kiss from the dead lips, he went OH lead
ing his command in tho assault.
So Aaron was summoned away from
grief to duty, and could not pause for any
mourning ON tho death of his two sons.
Usually the pressure is not so intense, and
we can pause longer to weep and do honor to
the memory of our dead: yet the principle
is the same God docs not want us u waste
our life in tears. We are to -rat-eH grief
into new energy Of service, and it should
make us more earnest, more useful. Gods
work must not be allowed to suffer while VIC
still go on. The WORK in ti6 ftiss h dtnpt NJ
the store, In the field, must be taken up again
the sooner the better. This Is a lesson We
need TO learn WELL that when n shock Of sor
row comes we may not he paralyzed by it,
but may rise again at once and press on IN
the path of duty and appointed scrvicc.-

How?
[To BE CONTINUED.

All true temperance workers are striving
for the final and complete overthrow Of the
hosts of rum; but the question comes: "what
can we do in that direction now!" In our
worl: there are two things so.intimately con-
nected that to accomplish the second we
must accomplish tho first, and by accom-
plishing the first we work toward the ac-
complement of the second The one is the
enforcement of the present liquor laws. and
the other of the traffic. What we should do
now is to enforce tn existing laws and by
doing this we will work toward and up to
total prohibition. How strict the law in re-
gard to Sunday!selling to minors and to hab-
itual drunkards! And yet here in our own
town how openly are the laws violated. AL
most under the shadow of our churches and
places where the work of God is proclaimed
10 we find the damning stuff dealt out Sun
day after Sunday. True. there wns an eff
tort made not long ago to enforce the Sun
day law, and with some success. but is the
matter to drop here! Shall the public ofIi.
GERS and others interested in the enforcement
of the law put their hands to the plow and
then turn back! A good beginning was half
the battle, but not all. If after a good be-
ginning the warfare is abandoned, the enemy
are the victors Let us not ,desist, but rather
| fight to the death and overcome through the
| Lord of Hosts, who is surely on our side.

Feed NV Lambs"

There had been continued scrSicc in Ger
tain church number of days, and tho rclig-
ious interest throughout the community was
intense. 1t was the most powerful revival l
have ever witnessed. Among those who had
constantly been attending the services was
little boy, the grandson of judge FLANK, n
distinguished man in the community, and
the grandson of one of the founders OF the
Christian church in Kentucky.
Our pastor announced enc day, that on
that evening there would be meeting of the
session for the recci ton of members. This
little boy was only II years old, but his
heart had been touched by the spirit OF God
He asked the permission of his grandmother
under whose charge Inc was, to present him
self t. the elders. Sho was astonlshcd and
embarrassed, and said:
my dear child, you are too young for
such very serious step You must wait
until you are older"
This was moro than the child could en-
durc He Hurst into tears and hid his head
i'm her lap. 1t was some time before he re-
gained cOmposurc. He then said
"Grandma, if you had a flock of sheep and
lambs, and it was winicr time, would you
put all the big sheep in stables and leave the
little lambs outside i'll the snow a::d the
cOld?'
The little boys faith and earnestncss tri
umphed. His grandmother asscnted. lie
was examined ms to his faith in Christ, and
received into the church.
1t is many years since this little boy was
converted. He was afterwards student al
college under my tuition He was a bright
and intelligent student. He became p ysi
cian and In" head of Il public institution o
the State of Kcntu ky. He is still an earn
est and devoted follower of Christ Early
