A sermon for the temperance peo

A sermon for the temperance people
il afforded by the following occurrence
1t Spokane Falls, on Christmas eve:
"W. E. Kidder, middle aged man
with family, left his home for pit
cher of beer. At the saloon he went
to the proprietor, who had to 60 into
the cellar to open a new key. Kidder
fell down into the celler through the
open hatchwsy, it is said, but did not
seem to be injured. He went home
and attended to some things about the
house, and then went to bed. In o
few moments he stiffened out, and the
wife becoming alarmed, called a doc
tor, who found the man dead when he
arrived" Whether it was the beer he
drank or the fall he. received while in
persuit of beer that caused his death,
the moral is equally pointed. 1t is
double-ender.

The Two Holidays.

Christmas has come AID gone. 1t
has brought its joys and left its re-
membranes nc a bright oasis in the
journey OF life. 1t is peculiarly the
children's holiday; a season when the
heart expands AMI the purse-strings
relax; a time when the heart softens
under the hallowed remembrance OF
the era which brought Peace on
earth and good will among men,"
1t is good to be SO. Closely follow
ing this holy season Of bcnevolence
and love-, comes the grown peoples
holiday-New Years day. 1t marks
al impor'an. pooh in the life of every
civilized .u.ln l.. ing. 1t is mile
stone in til, jcIrney of life which
marks our onward progress to the
tomb; resting-place, as it were, where
We Involuntary pause a moment to
reflect upon gear well spent or a
waste OF talents.
During childhood, how long appears
the span between each recurrence of
mind those holidays! How the youthful
longs to annihilate time, and bring
speedily the season filled with so many
joyous recollections! But when years
have added their weight OF care to our
burdens, how often the return of New
Years greetings brings tomind the
brief period allotted for earthly exist
ence. How many loved friends-it
may be kindred-who began the year
with us filled with the exuberance OF
life, with the polar-star of hope in the
ascendant, have fallen by the way.
Every household misses somebody who
has caused the heart to beat quicker
or the pearly tear to fall. If we loved
them, be it our resolve to live SO as to
win their appreciation in another
world. The individual whosbegins the
new year without resolve to live bet
ter, and without a renewed charity for
the frailties of humanity, lives in vain.
His talents are buried.
While, however, we should devote a
portion of the day to such thought,
and the formation Of a solemn resolve
for improvement, this need not inter
iere with tho proper Observance Of
those time-honored customs 70 dear to
us all. We may eat, drink and be
merry, but moderation should temper
al our acts, SO that we may have a
feast of reason AZ we'll as . flow of
soul.
Standing, then, upon theverge Of 4
new year, with malice towards none
and charity for ALL" let each of US ex.
tend, with heartfelt sincerity the greet
ing Of HAPPY NEW YEAR!"
