ttBE CLOTHED WITH HUMILITY"

Says the Apostle Peter; and he uses word
for clothed in the original which reminds
us of our Lord girding of himself with the
linen towel when he washed the disciples
fest and is striking proof how deeply the
action and consequent words OF our Lord
had sunk into the disciples hearts The
word implies moreover, such a clothing OF
ourselves with this grace that we cannot
easily divest ourselves of it; that it will adj
here to US wherever and however We are en-
gagged. Let this garment be our favorite
dress, for which We would not take in ex-
change the fubled magnifcence of Chosroe's
robe with all its gold and jewels Better far
be amorg the number of those who wan
dered in sheepskins or goatskins or left
their garments with the pursuer and fled
away naked, if 20 they could honor good
principles and lead noble lives than go
clothed in purple and fine linen and live
without honor in selfish ease and indulgence!
There is no robe like that which the father
put upon the prodigal son when he returned
home confessing his sin and throwing him
self upon his fathers love-the robe Of penl-
teuce the ornament of meek and quiet
spirit. That dress will pass through the fire
of the troubles of the world like the garments

Of it will be singed. The virtue of our
Saviour will go out of its hem to the poor

WORK OF THE W. c. T. o.

The Woman's Christian Temperance Union
has established moro than fifty different lines
or departments of work. each year having
added, and still continuing to add, to the list
rs doors open and new calls for usefulness are
heard Some of these lines of work are car
ried on in every State and Territory, some
States taking up many of them, each line
having q National Superintendent, with one
in each State, district, county and town
where the work is done by the ". 6. T. u,
thus bringing into service many women for
each branch. And yet we do not hear that
the homes ere neglected, nor the children
growing up wild because of it, God gave
them this work to do, and He has given them
tact and strength to accomplish both His and
their own work. We fnd the work spread
ing and increasing in Importance rs women
of every class enter the ranks, for through
new elements in the organization new needs
and demands are developed.
These different lines of work are grouped
into six departments: Organization, pre-
ventiva, educational evangeistic, social,
and legal besides which there are three
standing committees
Organization is the sced-planting depart
ment by means of Incorporating principles
in the hearts of the women of every age,
nationality, and color end binding in unions
those whose hearts arc moved to enlist in tho
w hlCe HlCOOn Army.
The payment of yearly dues, in but few
States amounting to one dollar, and signing
the pledge: II hereby solemnly promise, God
helping me, to abstain from al distilled fer
mented and malt liquors, including wine and
cider, and to employ all proper means to dis.
courage the use Of and traffic in the same,"
makes any woman a member.
Any gentleman may become an honorary
member by signing the pledge and paying
the amount designated by the State where the
union belongs. -.
The work Of organization is carried Oh by
regularly appointed or elected organizers
and lecturers, and their assistants, who are
especially fitted for the work, and these reach
out to the Germans, Scandinavians, Holland
ers, Chinese, Polish and Spanish; the colored
race of the South; the dark tribes Of the In
dian Territory; the degraded women OF AL
aska; the white slaves of the lumber camps OF
Northern Wisconsin, who are our own Auleri-
can girls, allured there by false representa-
tions and held il bondage by foreigners; and
the darkened minds of heathen lands, the Isl
ands of the sea, and far away India AMI
China.
There seems to be likeness in this orga1l-
ization to the stone cut out without hands,
which shall fill the whole world. We can set
no bounds to it, and fix no limit. 1t has ele-
waited woman, lifted the fallen from their
degradation and led them into pure lives, en-,

blessings to the children. Wherever woman

forward. II beg yourpardon," said the

THE LORDS OFFERING.

remember once being in the treasury Of
a royal palace. There was long ga lery in
which the crown valuables were stored. In
one compartment there was great display
of emeralds, and diamonds and rubies and l
know not what, that Lad been looted from
some Indian rajah or her. And IN the
next case there lay a common quill pen, ard
beside it a little bit of discolored coarse
serge. TIE pen had signed some important
treaty. and the serge was fragment of a
fiac that had been Eorne triumphant from a
field where nations destinies rad been
sealed. The two were worth farthing at
the outside, but they held their own among
the Jewels, because they spoke of brain work
and blcodshed in the service of the king.
Many strangely conjoined things lie side by
side in Gods jewel-cases Things which PEE +.
ple yulgarly call arge and valuable, and
what people still more vulgarlv call small
and worthless, have way of getting together
there. For in that place the arrangement Is

Is sold, but what was the thought in the
mind and the emotion in the heart which
gave it. Jewels and camers hair, yarn and
gold and silver, are all mas ed together.

much we hare given or done, if we have

ask how much we have kept back, and takes
strict account of the unsurrendered posses

though his all be little; he gives little whc wMlhc

ALL SACRED.

The Rev. DR.. George F. Pentecost, speak
ing at the annual meeting of a Young Mems
Christian Association in London said: 1--WE
talk about the sacred ministry, the sacred
desk, and the sacred calling; but We want
sacred offices, sacred banks, sacred stores,
and sacred shops and every man in them
who names the name of Christ to be an Or
dained minister of God-to do His work, bear
His testimony, lift high the light of the Di-
vine life, and scatter the salt which saves
the world from corruption; to be witnesses
for godliness, Righteousness, and brotherly
kindness. Every calling is sacred, and every
line of business for the Christian is one in
which the Master NAV be served, and testi-
mony for the truth may be borne" In con-
clusion, Dr. Pentecost urged his hearers to
be enthusiastic in their work for Christ.

The Cry of the Grow.

am sorry the character of the crow is
so irretrievably bad, for there is much
that is interesting about him. In some
respects he is even useful. He acts to
some extent as a scavenger, he eats few
grubs in the meadows and pastures, and
is said to be in much demand occasionally
for furnishing forth the tables of disapj
pointed disgruntled politicians. His
glossy, blue-black color is fine enough to
give certain beauty to his somewhat un!
calmly form. But the chief point of in
terest about him is bis voice, which on
certain occasions is wonderfully express
sive and human. If you come suddenly
upon the place where a company Of crows
are committing their depredations the one
that has been placed as sentinel will fly
over your head on discovering you, cry.
ing ha! ha! ha! with force of express
sion which Edwin Booth could scarcely
equal. He gives the s'hr" sound with a
strong aspiration, and prolongs the vowel
sound to give it its full force. "Ha! ha!
ha!' he will cry from above the trees
with startling effect, just as if he had
caught you in some villiany ,and justas you
might say the same word ifyouhad caught
some one else in a villainy, and at first
blush he will almost make you feel as II
you were yourself the culprit. know of no
bird elocution equal to this. His ordinary
cry is the same syllable repeated more
rapidly in a not unmusical voice, but
without any attempt at forcible elocu-
tionary expression, and he sometimes
varies the 'haw" to "caw," or adding
syllable makes it "caw-er." His call to
his mate is the syllable couk, couk, couk,
couk, usually four times repeated. But
his faculty Of speech seems to be limited
to the vowel sounds aw and ou and the
consonant sounds h, K and r. In this
respect he is by no means equal to some
of bis foreign relations. He is, however,
q much smarter bird than his English
cousin. the rook, but unfortunately his
smartness all runs to ischief.-Raryora

THE DEGRADATION OF THE so-cALLEp 'tIoD-
ERATE DRINKERS"

THE DEGRADATION OF THE so-cALLED "i1oD-
ERATE DRINKERS"
Professor Bunge one of the most eminent
scientists of Europe and Professor of Physi-
illogical Chemistry in the University of Basle,
Switzerland, thus pronounces against So
called moderate drinking: ut is through the
degradation of high ideals that alcohol exerts
its mightiest force against the moral progress
of mankind. Chronic, endenlial narcotizing
Ieaves no sense of high moral idea in the
consciousness. The voice of conscience is
smothered il drink, and whenever hint of
Ljgher joys may be given, it is swept away
in the resistless current of appetite This
pitiful loss soon makes itself manifest out
wardly-thc thought-life of man is seen in
his face. One has but to glance at the great
company of drinkers to sec how, little by
little, the nobler traits of countenance disap-
pear and only brutal expression remains.
The half Of mankind is thus distorted through
sc-called drinking"
