Elsewhere in this issue may be read an
interesting article entitled, 1.-THE Blank
Young Man." Read it and see if it does
not strike your own case. AS we read the
sermon-fOr that is what it is-we felt that
the preacher was talking right at us, and as
we read we kept whitening, and by the
time the end was reached. we seemed no
larger than mustard seed. We found our
self very blank young man indeed. But
we felt that consolation that comes to us
all when we realize that we are not alone
in our troubles. We know hundreds of

THE OLD SERPENT,S TRAIL.

They say that the cause of temperance is
dying out. but that is undoubtedly not true.
The temperance workers cannot give up
the work as hopeless, for to cease fighting
back the demon of drunkenness would be to
abandon the world to the ravages of an ever
increasing army of criminals and Migrants.
The fight against intemperance has gone on
century after century for thousands of years
and will probably be continued on until the
end of the human race. Men may sneer at
the temperance workers, but it is more than
probable that they owe their very existence
to the check these fighters have put to the
devastating ravages of strong drink upon the
human race. We hear men say that LIQUOR
is not the chief cause OF crime. but thew
cannot successfully deny that intemperance
in its use exceeds all other causes of pow
erty. depravity and crime. We need not
look into the prison records to find this out.
There is no place like large city wherein
to prove that intemperance is the curse
Of the human race. All the loafers.
vagabOnds and worthless characters that in
fest city gulp down anything and every
thing OF nature to intOxcate that they can
get hold of. Visit the dens. called homes. of
the squalid poor, and forty nine times out of
fifty you will find the inmates given to the
use of liquor to the extent of their ability to
procure it. Go where you will and wher-
ever you find wretchedness and crime
you will find the trail of the serpent of intem-
perance. Watch the daily papers and you
will see that nearly all the homicides
they are fearfully numereus-are committed
by persons under the influence of intoxi-
cants. We have noticed many such cases
within few weeks. It was only yester-
day that the papers told of man going to
his room drunk and there stabbed to death
his friend and bed-fellow. The day before
we read of brother who went home at
night full of whisky and murdered his Sis
ter. And few days ago drunken young
man killed his brother because he remon-
Strated against his squandering their inher-
itance in drunken debaucheries. Neither
of these fearful deeds would have been COM
mitted had the young men not been drunk.
Every man knows in his own mind that if it
were not for intOxicants there would not be
half the number of ragged children and filthy
vagabOnds wandering about the streets of
the cities; there would not be one fourth of
the present number of unprOvoked murders;
there would not be one-third as many men
and boys in the penitentiaries, jails. work
houses and reform schools as there are.
But this has been told thousands of times
already.

A PRECIOUS VOLUME.


Hebrews OHcr Vast sum for nlbie IN
the Vatican.
ROME. May ia syndicate has been
formed Of wealthy French Jews for the
purpose Of purchasing for the custody
cf the Jews the copy Of the Hebrew
Bible which Is in the Vatican. The
offer which has been made for II is
$200, 900.
1t il the most famous Bible there Is In
existence, and this is not the first time
that the Hebrews of Europe have tried
TO purchase it. Something like cen
fury or more ago the Hebrews of Spain,
France and Italy, then as now extremely
prosperous, offered for the book its
weight in gold and more, the offer being
parallel in magnitude to the present one
Of 100000.
The offer was refused Just the same as
the present offer in all probability will
be. The pope cannot, of his own Volt
ton, sell this Bible. The Bible Is the
property of the congregation Of the
propaganda, and is probably the most
valuable feature of the polyglot library
and printing Office of the congregation,
which have no equals in one sense, the
collections in the Vatican library being
considered more valuable than even
those of the British museum, although
less numerous.
In the natural order of things, the
cardinal project of the propaganda
would have to be applied to by any syn
dictate who might wish to purchase this
rare book. Then it would have to be
passed upon by the other members Of
the congregation, and finally the pope
would be called upon 60 settle the mat
ter. But he of his own accord could
not and would not take the initial steps
in the matter of selling the Bible.
The Bible is in tine original Hebrew
manuscript, and the exact time when it
was written. has never been satisfactor-
lily determined, any more than that it
came into possession of the congrega-
ton founded by Pope Gregory XIV,
some 300 years ago. The persons who
have seen the valuable manuscript are
very few, for it requires much influence
to see even the ordinary treasures Of the
famous Vatican library.
That the chief treasure of the propa-
ganda will be sold is altogether improb-
able. The Roman authorities have
steadfastly refused to recognize any
amount of money as being an equiva-
lent for this book, and the present com
position Of the congregation of the prop
uganda Is such as to preclude the idea Of
any change now.
