CHARLES T. YERKEs, once con.
vict, now millionaire capitalist, is
pointed to as fine example Of the
manner in which a man may live
down disgrace and attain respecta-
bility. Mr.. Yerkes is, Of course, to
be congratulated, and if he likes the
respectability he has attained, and
desires to keep it, he will take care
to continue being a millionaire.

investigate the educational methods
prevailing in our public schools, and
to ascertain those of its features
which it is desirable to embody in
the bill now being prepared for pres

tribute to the American system Of
education and the eminent fitness Of
women as educators.

SIMPLY TRUSTING.

Doubts ever and anon come to the best
OF US. They often teach us to trust more
fully and rest more conadingly in the arms
of Jesus.
Entering the house of a sick person some
time ago Isaw this forcibly illustrated. Up
on q couch lay woman, little past middle
. life. wasting away with-consumption.
Reared IN the church. converted in girlhood
DAYS, faithful to every interest OF home and
church. her life had been one of sweet trust
10 the Master.
But doubts began to enter her mind, and
she questioned her salvation- We read, sang
and prayed with her, but still she seemed
fearful. A good brother who had accom-
panied me. and who had known her for
wears, used the following illustration to teach
her the simplicity Of trusting:
Calling her by name he said, Catherine,
do you remember when Maggie, "pointinSt to a
faithful daughter, was little girl, how you
would put her high up on the stairway and
tell us to see if she would jump into our
arms? We would stand at the foot Of the
stairs and beg her to jump, but she would not
because she was afraid we might not catch
her. By and by you would ask us to stand
aside, and you would place yourself where
we had been and looking up to the child would
say Come Maggie darling, jump; mamma
will catch you And don't you remember
how, even before your arms were extended
to receive her. she would without any hesi-
tation whatever, spring from the step and
YOU would reach out and catch herr
.'You told us it was because she trusted
YOU, and we knew it to beso. Now, Catherine,
we've been trying to get you to trust Jesus
Just in the same way. Can't you do 1t? Just
let 60 everything like fear and doubt, and let
Yourself fall into the arms of the Saviour who
is waiting to receive you, and keep you from
all fear of self and the world"
lis that all can do?" she asked me. 'Yes,
sister" answered. His everlasting arms
are underneath YOU" For a moment her
face lighted up with Joy, as she said, "rve
done it. and am safe"

rerce. In few days she died triumphantly,

Are you doubling? Are you fearingt Cant
you trust the Saviour? Let go all and fall in

THE VERDICT OF SCIENCE.

"When we remember" says DR.. Ridge,
"that alcoholic liquors are not known to
have been used till centuries after the ap-
pearance Of man on the globe that all ami
mate creation below man lives and thrives
without them ; and thnt there have been, and
still are, millions Of our fellow-creatures OF
both sexes and Of all ages who live and move
and have their, being without any such
liquors, think we are justified in saying
that they are in no sense necessary to healthy
Hfe."
1t is fact that no living animal or plant
can be supported on such fluids on the con-
trary. they all become sickly. and perish un-
der such influence thus, fof example, II you
put few ounces OF alcohol into pail Of
water in which are living fish, you will find
that the fish will die in very short time.
'.N1y opinion" says Sir John Hall. sis
that neither spirits, wine, no- malt liquor
Is necessary for health. The healthiest
army I ever served with had not single
drop Of any Of them"
Having now seen that alcohol is neither .
food nor an aid to digestion, nor necessary
of life, the question may naturally be asked,
what is alcohol? Alcohol is nothing more or
less than dangerous irritant and fatal
poison. And just as other deadly po:sons,
such as arsenic, may in certain cases be used
in small quantities as medicine 80 also, II it
has any use at all. the only Legitimate use OF
alcohol Is as medicine. We learn from oil
standard books which treat on chemistry,
that alcohol is regarded and classed as
poison.
1T is dangerous poison" says DR.. Car
penter. -,
1T constitutes powerful narcotic poison"
Gays Professor Christiou.
It is described IS L poison in "Materia
Medica," and as III ':irrrant and fatal pol
son" by Pereira.
The French. English and American dispen-
satories, the highest authorities we have on
such matters, describe alcohol rs "a power
ful irritant poison, rapidly causing intcxlca-
ton. and. in large quantities, death.
''Alcohol," says Sir Andrew Clarke, lis
poison; 80 is strychnine. 80 is opium; it
ranks with allthese agents
" Sir Ashley Cooper says, Il never suffer ar
dent spirits in my house. thinking them evil
spirits, spirits and poisons are synonymous
ytsfms-that is. they mean the same thing.
We are assured by DR.. Gordon that 1t
would be difficult to find a moro destructive
poison than ardent spirits.

culate how many Thousands OF children
have been ruined forever either through too
great risor or too great leniency. The heav-
ems and the earth are filed with the groan OF
the sacrificed. In this important matter seek
divine direction, o father, o mother. Soma
one asked the mother OF Lord Chief Justice
Mansfield II she was not proud to have three
such eminent sons and all OF them so good.
NO." she said. lit is nothing to be proud Of,
but something for which to be very grateful" "
Again, there ara many who are sacrificing
their children TO spirit OF worldliness.
Some one asked mother whose children
had turned OUT very we'll what was the secret
by which she prepared them for usefulness
and for the Christian life, and she said :
This was the secret. When in the morning
I washed my children, prayed that they
might be washed in the fountain OF Il
Saviours mercy. Ehen put on their gar
ments, prayed that they might be arrayed
in the robe OF Saviours Righteousness.
When I gave them food. prayed that
they might bo fed with mGuna from heaven.
When I started them on the road to school, [
prayed that their path might be as the shin
ing light, brighter and brighter to the per-
feet day. When put them to Sleep prayed
that they might be enfolded in the Saviours
arms" ''Oh." you say, ''that was very old
fashioned" 1t was quite old fashioned. But
do you suppose that child under such
nurture az that ever turned out badp
In our day most boys start out with no
idea higher than the all encompassing dol
lar. They start in an age which boasts It can
scratch the Lords Prayer on 10 cent piece,
and the Ten Commandments on 10 cent
piece. Children are taught tc reduce morals
and religion, time and eternity, to vulgar
fractions Il seems to be their chief attain
meut that 10 cents make adime. and 10 dimes
make dollar. How to get money is only
equalei by the other art, how to keep 1t.
Toll me. ve wao know. what chance there ls
for those who start out in life with such
perverted sentiments? The money market
resounds again ana again with the downfall
of such people. Ii hai drop OF blood on
the tip Of pen, would tell you by what
awful tragedy many OF the youth OF this
country are ruined.
Further on thousands and tens of thou

tee. and superintendent OF the reform

including the pe~netentiary, agricultural
college and other institutes.
