THE POWER OF THE GOSPEL.

The theory of Strauss, that the Gospels
have mystical origin, was fully exposed
when it first appeared some forty or fifty
years ago. but It often reappears i'll various
forms. 1t may be worth while, therefore,
to reproduce an old but true incident which
occurred some years since and was then
widely circulated:
Some time since, woman delivered a
lecture in Lancashire, England, against
Christianity, in which she declared that the
Gospel narrative of the life of Christ is q
myth or fable. One OF the mill hands who
listened 10 her obtained leave to ask .
question.
"The question:" said he. II want to ask
the lady is: Thirty years ago was curse
to this town, and everybody shrank from
ME that had any respect for himself. often
tried TO do better, bu, could not succeed. The
teetotalers get hold Of NE, but /
b-oke the pledge so often that
they said it was no use trying me any long
er: then the police gOt hold of me, and
was taken before The magistrates, aud they
tried; and next was sent to prison, and the
wardens tried what they could do, but
though they all tried, was nothing better,
but rather worse.
".Now, YOU sas. that Christ is a myth.
But when ! tried, and the teetotalcrs, the
police, the magistrates, and the wardens of
the prison, all TIED in vain, then Christ took
hold of me, touched my heart, and made me
q new man. And now I am member Of
the church, class leader. a superintendent
of the Sunday-School; and ask, if Christ is
m. tn, how comes it to pass that that myth
is stronger than all the others put together"
The lady was silent Nay, miss said he,
say what you will. the Gospel If the power
Of God unto alNation.'"

WHICH SIDE HE IS on

Rev. Z. F. Mills, the evangelist, who re-
Gently conducted a successful revival at Ell
gin, ILL.,, took occasion at one of his meet
ings to refer to the liquor question as fol.
lows:
Iwould like to give little sermon on tenn
rerance, and would like to make it so plain
that everybody coull understand. Some
times person will insult me by asking me
which side of the temperance or prohibition
question am on Which side am I on2 Well,
you &C to the drunkards and thieves and bur-
glars and gamblers, and saloon keepers and
the makers of the accursed stuff, and find
out which side they are on, and then put me
down on the other side. AS you 60 down to
that wretcded hovel, where the poor woman
worse than widowed, sits with her worse
than orphaned babe at her breast, her hearts
blood dripping away drop by drop, put your
eur down close to her heart, and hear which
side she is on, and then put me down on her
side. Why is it that these accurSed saloons
exist in Eigin to-day? Because men worship
the god that favors hades. Suppose a man
should come here to-day and take one of your
fairest and brightest children, and by max
ing O few passes over it convert it into an
idiot, the whole community would be after
him Millions of dollars would not induce
you to license him to do such a thing il he
could do it in ten minutes and it is only a
question OIL i've years, VI pOSSiulJ ten VI
twenty, and you viii allow him to do that
very thing, and for only a paltry few hun
dred dollars.
will say one thing more: If have ever,
since the day gave my heart to God, by
voice. or vote or influence withheld, given
the weight of one finger in support Of the
! accursed traffic, should deserve to have my
son fill drunkard's grave or to give my
daughter into the foul embrace Of one of the
loathsome products of the business. Now, if
any one does not understand this let him
now rise up and say so.

INVITED SIX TlA,gs.

In one ofthe Rev. c. II. Iatmans evan
ge istic services recently held in the South,
be related this incident of young man in
Philadelphia who was asked on Monday to
be Christian, but declined; on Tuesday
another worker gave him the choice of re-
ceiving or rejecting hri%t, and he refused !;
on Wednesday it happened that again some
one said to him, Give your heart to Jesus,
but NO." was all the answer they got.
Thursday, by strange providence, he was
once more urged to give up sin, and again
on Friday was lovingly invited to seek the
Saviour Of all men-all with no effect. AS
though God would do all that could be done,
once more on Saturday he was entreatcd to
follow Christ" but stubbornly refused.
1t was his last refusal. He said, mo. |
won't. I'm going to have some fun and a
good time. Tomorrow I'm going to Allan
tic City for Sundays holiday trip, and 1
don't want you folks to keep tormenting me
with your gospel invitations"
He was never asked again. Six times IN
vited and six times refused! Sunday be
went for his pleasure to the sea, but when
he came back on Monday it was in his coffin.
He was drowned while bathing.

Confederate Prisoners on Their Travels.

We were to be sent to Johnson's Is
land, writes Lieutenant Horace Carpen-
ter in an article in the Century describ-
ing his experiences in the war prison in
Lake Erie, near Sandusky, Ohio.
Our route 10y over the Erie Railroad,
and we made the trip on parole. The
guards placed at each door of our coach
were for our comfort only, as we were
objects of marked curiosity during the
trip and would have been overrun with
visitors had not admittance been refused.
At the different stations we mingled
freely with the people on the platform
and found them, with few exceptions,
courteous but inquisitive. We were, no
doubt, disappointing lot. There was
nothing in our apparel to mark the
Rebel soldier, as we mingled with the
crowd surprise was freely expressed that
we were not as their fancy painted US,
trough just what shape that fancy
tooE. I never learned. The ladies,
as was the case both North and South,
we're intensely patriotic, and read US Sc
we're and nj, doubt salutary lectures on
the evil of our ways, which were submis-
sively and courteously received and duly
pondered.
There was one question that you could
safely wager would be asked by five out
of ten, and that was, "Do you honestly
think you are right?" This conundrum
wac offerod to mo so often that where
time allowed, being in President Lin
coins country, answered in President
Lincoln's style by stating that it "re-
minded me-" and told them of the cou-
pie who took their bridal trip on an
ocean steamer with the usual result. AS
the husband would return from sundry
trips to the rail of the vessel his young
wife would inquire, ''Reginald, darling,
are you sick9" To which he at last re-
piled, "Good heavens! Rebecca, do you
think am. doing this for fun2"

ORIGIN OF THE BLUE RIBBON.

The Christian Comno onpealth Nondon)
says: 1T is generally supposed that the
Blue Ribbon movement had its origin In
America, but such is not the case. 1t was
started in North Wales, and an eminent
clergyman in the Church Of England de.
serves the credit of having started a move
ment which has done immense good through
out all Welsh and English speaking coun-
tries. Many years ago the Rev: Mr.. Lloyd
better known as 'Yr Estyn,' had been work
ing hard among the drunkards q his parish,
and had been the means Of reclairning large
number Of them. In order to prove his sin
certify each convert had to wear little piece
Of blue ribbon, and small army was soon
formed In the course Of time a number of
these left Wales for America, carrying with
them the tiny bit Of ribbon. The idea was
soon taken up and worked out by our Amer
ican cousins, and the movement rapidly
spread throughout the States. Subsequently
it found its way into England and other
parts of the world"

WHAT PROHIBITION DOES.

There can be no manner OF doubt that
Prohibition increases the productive power
of wage-earners. In doing that 1t increases
the size of the profits that are available for
the payment of wages. It does not stop
there, however. It increases the combining
power of the wage earners themselves. The
greatest solvent known for labor organiza-
ton is drink. The Knights Of Labor under
stood that when they barred saloonkeepers
from among them. There is something in
the devil of alcohol that destroys the asSo-
ciational ties of men. even those strongest
possible ties of the family. In the late New
York Central strike one of the very first
orders sent out by Powderly to the Knights
was to keep out Of the saloons, Why? Be-
cause the men could not sus.L.n the strike
and sustain the saloons at the same time.
They never can.
The argument can be epitomiz,d as fol-
lows:
l. Drink, by impairing the productive
power of employer and cmploye, lessons the
profits of the business out Of which wages
must come.
2. Drink, by wasting the means and i'm
pairing the self control of the wage earners,
impairs their power to contend, in an organ.
lied way, for their just share of the profits.

81 AN NY OWN MASTER

"I am my own master" says the young
man. Well, be your own master. and sit
down and have all earnest and plain talk
with yourself. Ask yourself who you are,
what you are, what You have been doing,
what you are doing now, and what you pro.
pose or expect to do hereafter. Ask yourself
what YOU have done to make the world
wiser, or better or happier. Try to ascertain
whether you have done the world harm or
done it good, see if you Lave been Of any real
service TO mankind. and how. What are you
worth to the world in which you live: What
great enterprise for the promotion of human
interest would suffer by your death? How
many would miss you or care whether you
lived or ,liedP You are one Of fourteen
hundred millions Of human beings on earth.
How much, and what sort Of Influence have
you exercised on others: or have you, or do
you exercise any influence worth notice?
You are your ow:. master. Does the mas
ter try TO be man, or is he content to be a
mere cipher, all in society? Has he sufi-
cent self-rcspect to keep himself above all
that Is low, coarse. vulgar and bad! Does
he always speak the truth-ncver use obscene
nor profane language--nevcr do a mean
thing? Is he always rcgardful Of age, re-
spectful to equals and kind to inferorsf
Does he labor earnestly to improve his mind,
bis morals and his manners; or, is he care
less, idle and indtterentto such things! Does
he spend much time in the company of idIcrs
smoking, drinking and foolish talking? II
so, tell him-that master of yours-he is on
the wrong track, and if he does not switch
himself of, there is surely crash ahead, and
no one to save the pieces, and when it comes,
the verdict of the people will be, "served
him right" He might have known it would
come. He lived for it and he has it. "You
are your own master"
Better watch that master very c.oselv-see
that be forms no bad habits keeps out of
bad CONF any, uses no improper language,
Is always engaged in some honest and useful
pursuit. lives honestly, truthfully and usc-
fully. If these and like things are well and
faithfully attended to, then and then only
may you expect to be Of any real service to
the generation in which you live. Rcmem-
ber there will he many obstacles to be over
come, many difficult TO he encountered,
many temptations to be resisted and many
hard struggles between inclination and duty,
so that you will have to put down all the
will force you can possibly command, but
choose the right in all things and stick to it,
and all will end well. 1t requires continued
and earnest effort to be true man, true in
every sense of the word, and yet es cry man
may be true man If be will. With all the
privileges granted, ard al the advantages
attainable, it still depends on the individual
himself whether or no, he will Lc true

WORDS OF WISDOM.

Love is always doing, and never stops
to rest.
No man becomes dizzy while he is
looking up.
No man can live right who does not
believe right.
The man who has no joy in giving has
no JOY in anything.
No man has right to throw his trou.
bles at other people.
No man can be hypocrite snd sue
ceed at anything else.
Every form that comes and stays be-
gins in the individual.
You can get some men to go anywhere
by daring them to 60.
People who succeed generally aim to
do it, and plan to do it.
"Elbow grease" will "gum" like any
other lubricator, unless it is used.
No woman but his own wife ever finds
out how disagreeable man can be.
One of the hardest things to do IS to
alarm the man who thinks he is safe.
There is nothing good in the man vino

If every dog who barks would bite,
the world would soon be full of sore
legs.
If you care anything for mans friend
ship, it is dangerous business to lend him
money.
One of the duties every man owes to
himself, is to live so that he can respect
himself.
It ought not to take any more cour-
age to dare to do right than to dare to
do wrong.
It is seldom that man ever gets to be
wise enough to know what to do with q

The man who expects to out-run lie

An easy chair for discontented man
