SALOON DECORATION.
At certain prominent place IN Cincinpah
new saloon has been opened, otter fixing
the place up in the most elaborate manner.
The recess door in front ls all that art can
make it, finished with stained glass: on either
side Of the door are large show windows. In
one Is an easel holding horseshoe OF the
most delicate roses, nicely imbedded with
ferns and in the other window Is an elabor-
ate decoration of crimson and white roses
with fern leaves for the background. ON
the day OF the opening man in passing by,
was heard to say after gazing intently for
some minutes on the display: "They ought
to put on the window please omit low
ers." Another one added: This is our
funeral" and 30 it is, tut mothers and wide
ows will be called on to shed tears.-Chris-

The Christian at Work, commenting upon
the recent Conference held in New York
under the auspices Of the National Temper
ance Society to promote the organization OF
it as q revival Of 'ap old and much needed
line Of temperance work." and says:
During the last years much attention has
been given to the law side Of temperance
work. Twenty years ago attention wa
particularly directed to abstinence. Possibly
this last has been too much neglected, and
We hail itsrevival with hopes for the future
There must be q temperance sendment-a
total abstinence sentimsnt-befor there can
be expected the needed legislation. Let US
hope that there will be work for winning the
drinkers especially for saving the young,
and on the platform Of total abstinence:
The saloon system is growing. It Is getting
more defiant. But the whole complexion o.
affairs may be changed in a generation y
the children can be kept from the saloon and
from touching the Intoxicating cup. Let u
hail this new move along old lines with inter
est and with our help"
KoTHER's PLACE IN TEMPERANCE WORE \
Home is the training school Of virtue and
mother Is first teacher. To the child no in-l
duence is so great as that Of the mothes: md,
word truer than hers no form more beautif 4
ful. It is to the mother that the child cl:ngsi
for protection, TO her it looks for guidance.
The good mother is like an anchor to hold
a child fast to the right amid danger; she Is.
Ikea compass to guide it in its wandering.
The thought of mother has redeemed many
wayward man whom no other influence
could save. A good mother is Gods test gift
10 home. To her comes the duty Of znaking(
home what God destined it to be, and wEerf
.vil comes to home it falls more heavily,
upon her than upon any one else. Wherf,l
then, is her place in the great battle OF hqme)
against intemperanceS It ought to he mi
she very front ranks OF homes best defend \
rs. By word and example, she ought toI
each the children to lovo AMI practice theI
noly virtue Of temperance; she ought to bel
.he first to practice what she teaches; to|
Danish from her home everything that
tends to encourage intemperance: TO keepj
iuuor from her table AMI out of her home;
% teach the children that liquor is not neo-I
,ssary for Joy, nor Is it necessary for sor-|
row; that the home is brighter and happierI
when temperance rules; that the safest and
best way to guard against all possible In
temperance is total abstinence. Keep your
boys sober, keep your girls sober. II n-I
enters. be kind in your counsel,
be firm in your urging. Pray for the weas
ones. pray for the erring ones. Your prayers
md tears will often win heart stee:ed
against your unkind and harsh abuse. Eoth-
.rs Of Christian homes, enter the army OF
apostles of Temperament You can succeed
where the printed wor and the eloquent adj
iress will fail. You cau reach the heart
which refuses the influence OF society andy
the church. Be apostles. Preach In yourt
aomes. preach total abstinence by word and
example, and in your family prayers begI
heaven to send it's sweet influence into your
homes, to the hearts OF your loved ones.-|
