GOD HIS HELPER.
A Prosperous Merchant Who Takes thu
Lord Into His Business.

A Prosperous Merchant Who Takes the
Lord Into His Business.
A merchant in New York had pledged
to the Lord certain portion of his
business receipts as fast as they
were collected. He called this the
Lords insurance money. for said
he, 80 long as give, so long will the
Lord help and bless me. and in some
way will He give me the means to
give. It is blessing to my heart to
keep it open in gratitude, a blessing to
dispose of it to gladden. other hearts,
and the surest way to keep the Lords
favor with me-"
The results of his experience were
blessed indeed, as he said: II never
realized before how He helps me in all
my business plans.
Things happen daily which show
me that some one who knows more
than | is protecting me. Bad debts
lave been paid that did not expect.
Grand boys just getting into sly and
pad habits have been discovered ere
their thefts had proceeded far. AS l
needed competent help in my business
it has come just as it was wanted.
when customers were about to fail
somehow their debts to me were paid,
although they failed to pay others
"A severe fire came TO my office and
seemed to have swept all my valuables
away. But it was stopped at just the
right moment, and not one thing valua-
BILE was lost. The insurance COM
panies paid me enough to re-
place every damage, and the Office was
renewed better than before. The Lord
sends me business enough to pay my
debts, while others are Gull.
81 can not tell why it is except shat
always pray for my business, and ask
the Lord to bless it for the good of
others, and that the means which come
from it may be used for His cause
"When | stop giving, business stops
coming. When stop praying for it,,
perplexities arise. As long as pray
for it, all moves easily and have no
care or trouble.
'The Lord is my banker, my insurer,
my deliverer, my patron, and my blessed
guardian OF temporal things as well as
spiritual. The Wonders of PRAYER.

SCience md Alcohol.

More and more is the weight of scien-
titic testimony going against the use Of
alcohol as medicine. At the last am
nual conference of the British Tenn
perance league the veteran medical
temperance pioneer of Great Britain,
DIR. +. r. Lees, read paper upon "Sci-
ence and Alcohol" in which he said:
General experience, which is the
foundation of social science. continues
to confirm the great truths of our
movement Life is heightened, disease
is lessened, and health is improved by
the practice OF abstinence; and, Cd the
other hand, superstitions about drink
and its value are dying out, and the
light is at last finding its way into
high and fashionable quarters. Whether
in recreations or in ordinary work,
whether in cold nr warm climates,
whether in battle or in peace, whether
on sea or land. the folly of drinking al
cohol, and the advantage to mind and
body of abstinence, arc becoming &C.

Neither Empty or Useless.

Empty of some things Christians may
be, as Peter was of silver and gold, but
no Christian is either empty or ncccs-
sarily useless Men may more deeply
need of us what they do not ask for,
than what they very painstallingly seek
at our hands. The man digging in the
earth with a muck rake is evidently
earnestly seeking treasures below. He
really needs the crown which is just
above his head waiting for him if he
only will look up, but he is unconscious
that the crown is there and unmovcd
about it, because he is not looking for
his good things from above. Christian
