CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR.

Topic for the Week Beginning Aug
2O-Comment by Rev. 5. ii. Doyle.
ToPIc.-Paul or Felix? Whose example will
you follow? Acts xiv, 22g7; John IL 5l7.
In the various relations of life men
are often brought together in such
way as to teach useful and important
lessons by comparison and contrast.
Thus Abraham and Lot are related in
the memorable scene In which Lot chose
the valley of the Jordan, and thus also
the repentant and the unrepentant thief
at the crucifxion Of Christ. In the same
character Paul and Felix are represented
before us. Each one is type of a class
Of men which are directly contrary to
one another, and in the incident quoted
in which they are brought together they
teach us lessons Of instruction and wis
dom. Perhaps the character Of each can
be better portrayed in a profitable man
ner by viewing them together and then
by contrast.
1. Paul and Felix (Acts xiv, 22-29).
The scene in which Paul and Felix are
here associated was in the courtroom Of
the Roman governor, which was at Casa
rea. Paul had been arrested by the
Jews at Jerusalem, and plot having
been found against his life Lysias, the Ro-
man magistrate, sent him to the Roman
governor, Felix, at C@sarea. When Paul
was brought before Felix. who was q
mean and dissolute ruler, and his wife,
who was as dissolute as her husband, he
was not daunted. Instead of dealing in
subtleties and generalities or trying 10

At the annual conclave Of the grand
commaudery Knights Templars OF Cali
furnia the grand master III his address
spoke Of the evils Of the social glass He
said:
"lnteInperance is the gateway 10 all
the vices. Let man become captive to
it, and the doors Of all other vicious in
dulgences stand ajar in his presence
Easy is the descent, and moral, social
and spiritual degradation is az sure to
follow rs the night to succeed the day. Is
il not time that we should hang out the
danger signal: l. it right, is it consistent
for us to teach our novitiates to follow
the example Of the immaculate Jesus
to direct their minds to Calvary 8
sacred mount, and then place before
them, or even tolerate, examples that
lead them into dens Of dissipation set
along the pathway of their lives? Think
of it, Sir knights, and God grant that
your thoughts may speedily crystalline
into action.
while dwelling upon TINS unpleasant
subject it is gratifying to find relief in
the knowledge that other and nearly all
grand bodies Of Knights Templars in this
country are taking positive measures for
the eradication of this evil of intemper-
ance. Not only have they decreed that
Mason who is addicted to the use of
alcoholic stiinulants as beverage is ma
terial unfit for the temple, but that no
Sir Knight over whom they hold juris-
diction shall engage in the manufacture
and sale of such intoxicating liquors. -

Drunkenness Among Women,

THE daily papers" says The National
Temperance Advocate, contain the sad
story of drunken woman in Brooklyn
of considerable property in her own
name whose mother and sisters unite in
an application to the city court of Brook
lyn for the appointment Of suitable
person to manage her property, on the
ground that she was habitual drunk
ard and unfit to look after her own af-
fairs.
THE testimony showed that she had
been seen intoxicated repeatedly in the
street and in public places. Her hus-
band, after trying in vain to reform her,
has brought suit for divorce. She was
very fond Of excitement and social life
and had great passion for drink.
Drunkenness is on the increase among
women in these great cities"

The relation Of the society of Christian
Endeayor to the church is ono Of vital
interest and Importance. While each
may exist ard do good work as an indie
pendent organization, neither can do the
work Of which it is capable without the
aid of the other. 1t is not the design Of
this remark to place the Christian En-
deavor society on the same footing as the
church, nor to assume that Christian
Endeavor is the only proper form for a
society of young people.
The church is an ordinance of God. 1t
is dictate OF divine wisdom. Young
peoples societies of whatever form are
products Of the wisdom of men. But the
church needs the young peoples society,
and the young people need the sympathy
and guidance of the church. They need
the restraining, supporting. encouraging
and directing influence of maturer
minds. National Presbyterian.

70 years old and succeeded President Diaz
In 1880 and served until December. 1854,
when President Diaz was elected again.
General Gonzalez was q famous soldier and
bore the reputation among the people as a
man who never knew fear, From 1883
to 1876 he was active In his
attempts to overthrow the sue
cessivs Mexican Governments. In
1867 President Juurez made him briga-
dier general On the accession OF Presi-
dent Dlpz he was appointed Secretary OF
War, and In 1870 was made commander-in-
chief of the northwestern district For his
services in quelling instructions In that
locality the Mexican Congress made him a
general of division with the title Of "Pacif-
icator of the Occident." In 1880 he was
elected President of the Republic to sue
ceed Diaz, but proved dismal failure In
that Office and retired in 1884. leaving the
country with bankrupt treasury and a
score Of revolutions on its hands. In 1883
he was appointed Governor of the state OF
Guanajuato in which Office he acquitted
himself with reasonable ability.
