A TRUTH WELL PUT.

The Christian Witness we'll says: 1T will
be found in the end, that neither "Christian
Endeavor Societies" "Epworth Leagues
any othe- organization, will do the needed
work. Holiness in the pulpit, holiness in
the pew, holiness in the class meeting, holi-
ness in the love feast, holiness in the cdito-
rial chair, and holiness in the theological
schools, is the only thing which can ever pre-
serve the church from apostacy. or bring her
back from her wanderings. There Is sad
lack of holiness in all the places named,
hence the drifting from piety and soul saw

he made mistake in assuming that all
horses are as sure-footed as he was secure
in his seat. This is true of Mexican
ponies, the only ones he had ever ridden,
but it was not true of Montezuma.
As the Mexican spurred him deep,
still looking back over his shoulder at
me, Montezuma came to gully or wash.
There are thousands of them across
every road aud trail in the Southwest.
This one was not more than three feet
deep and five feet across. A native
horse would have jumped it or leaped
into it safely, even if it were six feet
deep. But Montczuma, as be came to
the wash, made no effort to jump over,
but plunged in with his forefcet set to-
gethcr.
AS he struck the bottom, which was Of
rock loosely covered with sand, his knees
doubled under him like straws. The best
rider in til: world would not have kept

writhing to ard fro, as if in great pain.

Truth In Q Fable.

A story hailing from the orient is to
the effect that one day as a pious mollah
was riding into Smyrna on a donkey he
met the Cholera specter, who told him
that he was going into the city by com
mand Of Allah 10 kill 700 faithful. The
mollah invited him TO ride on his don
key, and as they neared the gates the
holy man said, Il conjure you, in the
name of Allah, and by the pure faith
of a Moslem, that thou wilt not slay
one nor than the Lord has COM
handed"
The Cholera took the oath. alighted
from the donkey and at once set about
his commission Of slaughter. Instead
of 700, however, 1000 of the faithful
died during the period Of the Cholera's
visitation.
When the Cholera had finished his
appointed work and was about to de-
part from Smyrna the mollah again
met him. How is il" demanded he,
that thou hast committed 80 great a
perjury, and violated thy oath to Allah
that thou wOuldst not slay more than

each smoker would have twenty-five
cigars and a piece Of one. At the out,

Haunted Moorish Wells.

. Stories of haunted wells are common
everywhere in Portugal, says the
Fortnightiy Reriea0. In the castle of
Torre-ne-Dona-Chama, in the wild
mountains of Traz os Monies, is an en-
chanted well. Here the Moorish
maiden has appeared more than once
She is seen in the likeness of woman
to the waist; thence her form ends in a
serpent's coils. So appearing once to
a young peasant of the neighborhood.
she offered untold wealth if he would
disenchant her.
To do so he must conseut to let her
put off all likeness to a woman's shape
and come to him as a serpent, and
clasp him and coil herself round his
body. He agreed, but when she began
to wind her cold scaly folds round him
and serpent's head came near his
face, a horror came upon him and he
struck the seeming reptile with club
in his hand. Then the creature fell
down and glided away, a serpent still,
but speaking with woman's voice,
and she cried out that the spell upon
her was now made doubly strong.
Thereupon she disappeared forever.

Things as They Are.

1t was Holland who, in his book,
''Nicholas Minturn," said: I'm this
world we must take things as they are
not as they should be-" Holland was
in his day, popular writer, and wrote
some pretty fair books, but he laid
down a wrong principle when he wrote
the sentiment quoted above, saws EG
r. Pritchard in the Arh0nSa1O TraUeler.
Legitimately carried out. it would
stop the wheels of progress and reform,
and leave the whole human race in a
deplorable position. 1t implies thai
we must be contented with the things
as we find them. Had Copernicus,
Newton, and Martin Luther acted or
this principle of accepting things as
they found them the world would lust
now be barely emerging from the con
dition it was il during the middle ages.
1t is safe to say that spirit of dis.
content at the existing state of affairs
lies at the bottom, the beginning of all
great reforms.
Copernicus was not satisfied with the
theories of the scientists of his time re-
garding the motions of the heavenly
bodies, so he investigated for himself
and made discoveries that completely
overthrew the doctrines of his asso.
ciates and set the world right where
from the beginning it had been wrong.
So Newton, in the same spirit of dis
satisfaction with the accepted phil
osophy of his day, gave to the world
his valuable discovery of the law OF
gravitation. So Martin Luther, dis
gusted with the existing state of affairs
in the catholic church, and not content
to take them as he found them, started
the reformation, and, in doing it, set
the world on the broad highway lead
ing to intellectual light and freedom.
