Shun The Verge.
Mid.Continent

M~id.Continent.
In one of the passes of the Rockies,
a perilous curve that runs along the
edge of a precipice has become ia
nous for the number of accidents
occurring there. One of the stage dri-
vers gained a reputation by never
havinga mishap at this point,
through many years. Being asked
the secret of his 7safe>driving he re-
piled that he always kept as far
away from the verge as possible.
This is the secret of all safe driving.
No one plunges owe the precipice
who does not venture hear the edge.
Young man drive clear of the verge !
The temptation is never to drive
over, to run into full-grown sin, to
plunge headlong into the mids of evil
courses. Satan knows better than
that. In vain is the net spread in the
sight OF any bird. lie bids you only
venture near the brink. Take a sin.
gle glass of liquor, it will do you nc
harm, for it is only one glass. Go to
the disreputable place only TO see the
world and know what is going on.
You need not yield to sin, but you
ought to know what sin is like. Dc
not rob your employer, but to use for
your own purpose the car-fare or the
stamps, that is little harm. Play the
cards, not for money, but as an limo
cent, amusement. You need moi
gamble. Drive close to the edge
Steer close to the yawning gulf OF
evil! See how near you can come tC
spinning with one wheel owe the
chasm! That is Satan's snare that
captures so many souls.

Growing Strong.

Golden Bule.
To see physical deformity is pain
full. How much worse Is. the distor-
ton when 1t is the soul that has been
allowed to become stunted! Sym
metrical development is impossible
when growth in one direction has
been delayed, and he who accepts
Christ in his later years never will be
what he might have BEEN. True, one
who has just given his heart to the
Savior is a christian, and the disciple
after long experience is nothing else.
A child a week oldisa human being,
but it would be a great calamity if
years brought no gain in powers Of
body and mind. Is there any the
less a radical defect when progress in
favor with God does not keep pace
with progress in wisdom and stature?
Even what is regarded as natural
growth does not come Of itself.
Nourishment must be constantly
supplied, and the follower of Christ
daily needs the bread of life and the
water of life. The muscles do not
develop of themselves without use,
and there must be exercise, of the
spiritual powers, thatthey may be in
healthful condition. In obeying the
coinmand to rise and Ewalk, many
receive unexpected vigor. Nor is ii
any unimpottant requirement that
lone be regular and not spasmodic in
his habits, if he would make advance.
The sterner climates produce the
more rugged forms and the irmel
sipews, and his conflicts with tempta
ton and trial will enable the follower
of Christ to win greater victories
But, whatever helps he may have
the Christians power is never from
himself. The mightiest man .tha.
evegtrodthe earth would lose all hi
Strength if deprived of air. If thu
disciple is taken one moment from
his life-giving element, he fails; anC

is in philosophy. No mother on
