LESSON SURROUNDINGS.
INTERVENING EvENTs.-Opinions Diff

Of the intervening events. DR.. Robin
son places the last lesson immediately
before the feast Of dedication, and also
regards the Journey mentionsdin Luke
Is % as the beginning of the Anal
journey (through Peresl to JerunAlem.
Accordingly, he places between the
two lessons only those events narrated
by John John 10 10 to II 200. But
many hold that Johns narrative mp to
chapter 10 81 belongs to an earlier
period. On this view, when combined
with that Of q return to GaliIee, Luke

I her mind simpl because of the environ.
ment of the tavern ard saloon, which ter
rible ordeal the sons must pass through
while the daughters are saved by reason of
their sex ? 1t il MOI customary for young
| women 10 frequent drinking Places and
why SHOULD it be customary for young men
to do so?
Drunkenness among women is confined
TO the extremes OF society? The bon ton
drink champagne and Roman punch and
lie COM tan driuk beer, aud drunkenness is
said 10 be increasing in these social anti
p"des. Sat in the great middle class lying
betw cen, where drunkenness, greatly pre-
walls among men it is almost totally I'M
known among women. If young woman
should, led by inherited appetite become
victim to intemperance, and should
hIbit herself once even drunk upon the
streets Of this, or any neightoring town,
what would be the consequence. Social
ostraclsn OF the most pronounced and I'M
relenllng type Should she persist in fol.
lowing int mperate habits, society would
utterly cast her out and that in an in
credl0iy short time, no man of character or
responsibility would for a moment harbor
the idea OF making her his wife, no matter
how beautiful or accomplished she might
be. And yet iutemperauce i'll the husband
and father is just as destructive to the
domestic peace and prosperity, as intem-
perance in the wife. Is their separate
plan of redemption for man and woman
No; separate code OF morals No; add to
your faith virtue, and to virtue, knowledge,
and to knowledge temperance, and to tenn.
perance patience, and to patience brotherly
kindness, and TO brotherly kindness charity,
these are the attributes of the Christian
character, reg lrdless of sex. How culpable
are the State and National Government
which environ their citizens with vicious and
degrading influences The code of morals,
in the slums Of our great civilized centres,
is as low as the morals of savngery. because
of the debasing environment of the legal
lied saloon.
The object of the w. G. I. u is therefore
to remove the saloon from the pathway of
youth ? To raise the standard of virtue and
| sobriety, and make it equal for man and
woman.
In looking out over this wide field, it
sometimes seems to some of us, that our
progress is very slow, and we feel at times,
great encouragement. For the cheering up
of such | quote the following from a WASH
ingtou correspondent writing to one of our
large and influential city weeklies
"rhe influence and untiring efforts, of
the women of the w. c. u, although
they have not abolished drinking, have GER
tainly made drunkenness "bad form" 1t
is now rare sight to see representative
or Congressman, under the influence Of
liquor on the floor of either house. When
such a thing does occur the friends of the
unfortunate" lose no time in hustllng him
from his seat into some ante room to hide
his shame and disgrace. What a change is
| this from the state of affairs quarter of
century ago? Aud do not fear contradict
ton when | say, the efforts of Christian
women have been the main lever in bring
ing this needed reform to the National
Capital"

The Tobacco Business on Sunday
VS.. the Creamery Business.

A little while since the Sabbath Observ
ance Committee of the Toughkenamon
w. c. L. U. served notice on John B
Shortlidge, the proprietor of refresh
ment saloon in that village, that he must
give up the sale of OF cigars and tobacco
on SunGay. One of the members of this
committee is Mrs. Sharpless, the wife of
William Sharpless, proprietor of the
creameries at Toughkenamon and Ken
nett Square. When Shortlidge got b is
notice to quit he began thinking, and
the result of his medItations was a deter
mjnation to make the cessation of work
general in lis community. He says that
if he is not allowed to sell cigars on the
first day of the week, Sharpless won't be
allowed to fire up his engine and run
his separator on that day. He has
threatened to go into court with the
question aud have it settled there.
Sharpless. it is said, is entirely willing
to do this, and he claims that he would
be only too glad to stop work if be could
and that he will cheerfully abide by the
decision of the court. The law which it
is proposed to invoke against the Sunday
business in the Sunday law OF 1874, which
expressly prohibits the doing of any
labor on Sunday save works of necessity
or charity. However, it expressly declares
that nothing in the act shall be construed
to prohibit the delivery of milk, so that
it would seem that there is nothing in
the law by which the farmer can be
stopped from going to the creamery with
his milk. Once there, it must be put
through the separator or it will speedily
decay, and it is argued that the running
of the separator becomes, therefore,
work OF necessity, for which the Sunday
law provides all exception. The selling
of cigars and kindred merchandise on
the first day of the week is, however,
clearly violation of this law.-ReRnett
