THE short and sensational career OF

THE short and sensational career OF
the two Chicago Board Of Trade clerks,
Whitaker and Smith, Is only an.
other illustration Of the dangers OF
too great prosperity. These two
young gentlemen had always borne
good regulations until they made a
phenomenally successful speculation
in wheat. On an original investment
of $50 they cleared up s32, 900. The
half of this amount, carefully in
vested in any legitimate business,
would have made the nucleus OF a
fortune for either of the young specu-
lators. But their heads were COM
pletely turned. They imagined that
they saw millions within easy reach,
and the money disappeared in few
months, part Of it going whence it
came, and the rest Of it being spent
In riotous living. Then followed dis
honesty. They used their employers
money to speculate with, and are
both now fleeing from the law. Nine
men out Of ten who have been ruined
by speculation have seen times when
they might have quit very much ahead
Of the game. It's the same old story,
so tersely expressed by Daniel Drew

TEE DRINK HABIT II SCOTLAND,

Drinking both moderate and immoderate,
Is much more common in; the British Isles
than in the United States. The fact Is, the
church, and this is especially true in Scot
land, has not yet cast out this curse OF the
nineteenth century. Brewers and saloon
keepers are permitted not only to be mem
bers but Office holders in the church in
Scotland. Two or three months ago at tho
installation dinner. given to the pastor OF
the Edinburgh churches tthe banquet was
held at a Temperance" hoteD wine was pro-
vIded for all the guests. Not long ago the
papers reported that member Of the Glas-
cow Presbytery had introduced resolution
that license holders, or saloon keepers,
should not be permitted to hold Office In the
church. He found only two members to
support his resolution. The consequence OF
ali this Is apparent in the habits Of the peo.
pie. You cannot walk through the streets
on Saturday evening without meeting doz-
ems of men, and often women. reeling along
the sidewalk.
Drinking among women is much more
common IN the British Isles than in the
United States. On holidays 1t Is no uncom-
mon thing to see the saloons half full OF
women. About twe-thfrds Of the groceries
iu Edinburgh sell liquor. This has greatly
increased drinking at home, as many women
order liquor with their groceries VINO would
not enter saloon to buy. During the cold
months of November and December
YOU see dozens of barefooted, ragged, hun
gry-looking children running the streets.
Yet, no less than $3.50, 900 Is annually ex-
pended in charity in Edinburgh. But"
says Mr.. D. Lewis, ''the drink traffic has
counteracted our labors to an almost In
credible extent. THE Voice.

Gods will is love, He can not do q wrong,

That each would be more faithful, strong

The other left to shine OH thro' the night,
And hghten up the darkness of the world.
Shine on, lone star, and may your beams

Be helped to see that God knows what is

BIBLE STUDY.

"Thy Word is lamp unto my feet" said
the psalmist of old. You want your lamp
to burn as brightly as possible. You trim
the wick; you wash. dry and polish the glass
chimney; you keep the shade clean, Let
the dust gather and the smoke make its
sooty deposit, and the wick becomes crisp
aud hard and black, aud the light upon the
open page is Pickering and weak. The
lamp is your friend but you must take good
care of it. It will treat you as you treat it.
The figure may be homely, but 1t Is true.
What the Bible brings to you will depend,
in large measure, upon what you bring to it.
You may have crumb. or loaf, or
granary full to bursting, JUST as you choose
There is gold on it, surface, there are jewels
in its mines, there are royal pearls IN its
depths. All are not equally equipped for
utmost in its patient, loving study, and no
labors will bring srlrer or richer reward.

DAILY GROWING IN STRENGTH.

Lady Henry Somerset, who recently 70
turned to England from an extended visit to
the United States, addressed the Temperance
Assembly in Liverpool.
In replying to several addresses Of well
come she said that the dawn Of the day had
arrived which would bring their cause q
great victory. The temperance party In the
United STATES, continued Lady Somerset
was daily growing in strength and import
ance. She had found during her trip to the
United States universally sober woman
hood. She had been present at number Of
social affairs at which Intoxicating drinks
were among the refreshments offered to the
guests, and she had seen only one woman
partake of wine or liquor.
The temperance work in the United States
was conducted on q grand scale. aud the
Woman's Christian Temperance Union was
welding a powerful influence throughout
the whole country. Lady Somerset declared
that it was not true that the cause of pro-
hibition was failure in the State Of Maine.
The illicit traffic in intoxicants was very
limited, and as proof that the excise laws
were strictly enforced she said that shs her
self was cognizsnt Of cases which happened
within the last threoSmonths where quanri-
ties Of liquor had been seizsd blythe officials
and the sellers Of the prohibited goods had
been convicted and sentenced to jail for the
term Of imprisonment prescribed by law.

THE p1BLE AND THE WORLD.

1ohn Newton used to say, remarks the
Glasgow Leader, that he read the New Tes-
lament to see how God loved the world, and
the newspaper to see how He governed the
world. John Henry Newman says to look
at the world after reading the Bible brings
terror on his heart as if be turned TO the
face there, for he sees God in the Bible but
no reflection of Him in the world which
should mirror His glory. So there seems no
sympathy between nature and goodness; (;
nature becomes terrible the moment you
attempt to connect it with moral idea; the
world lfeth in the wicked one whether by
the horrible things done in the East or the
heartless things done in the West.

TEMPERANCE.
HOW LONG?

Recently Brooklyn father went home
drunk, and picking up an axe, struck his
daughter with it in the face, almost cutting
of her nose. A second blow on the back Of
her head knocked her unconscious, and when
the neighbors came in and overpowered him,
he was belaboring his unconscious victim
with heavy piecp Of wood! This drunken
criminal, temporarily locked up, was q
criminal undoubtedly, because crazed and
frenzied with alcohol. How long shall such
tragedies continue by the authority and
with the liberation Of other wise good citizens
who sustain the iniquitous license system!

SALVATION.


Salvation , first great rescue, and,
secondly, welcome home.
Years ago a railway train sped over the
land bearing the members Of many families
to their several destinations. Some were
conversiug, some were reading, some Sleep
ing, some fondling their children, all hasten
ing. home or Fastening abroad with no
thought of danger. But the route lay over
q bridge with draw, and the draw in the
bridge was turned to allow the passage Of q
vessel. The warning signal was flying, but.
owing to the direction Of the wind, only It's
edge was presented to the engineer OF the
train, and be did not see it. On came the
train. One man who saw it coming on to
certain ruin tainted away under, the rush OF
emotion!
But now puff of wind struck the flag,
and, presenting its side to the coming train,
exposed the danger to the engineer, and in
an instant down went the brakes, but on
came the train toward the guilt of death! On
it came, grinding and crunching along,
slower and slower, but still coming on! The
locomotive went over; the tender went over !;
the baggage-car went over; and there the
rain stopped, the baggage-car actually hang
ing into the gulf without falling! 1t was
glorious, n wonderful, most merciful res
cue! What emotions shook those passengers
when the truth as to their peril and rescue
broke upon them? And religion is a great
rescue from plunge into gulf that IS
bottomIess.
But It is also welcome home. Twenty
miles farther on family are waiting for
husband and father In that train. Tidings Of
his peril and rescue have reached them over
the wires. and how the hearts throb at the
sound of the shrill whistle announcing his
approach! And as he enters, what wel-
come of joy and tears greets him! Ah! so
shall it be with the rescued sinner as ne
enters heaven. Loved ones are waiting Tor
hnman hearts ever know as thrill the soul
under that welcome home!- !-[Sunday School
