int. Seems to come from

our weak point. Seems to come from
all sides at the same time. How ter.
rible is the battle. Our Saviour saw
Satan as lightning fall from heaven.
So terrible was the struggle that the
heavens streamed with light when
Satan fell. Jesus then stood with the
spoils of the universe at his feet.
There is no compromise with a snake.
One or the other must fall or we must
flee when ushered into these battles.
It cares not for our elements of power.
What does a snake care for the kind
of clothes we wear, or the home we
have or our bank account The poor,
the evil, the learned, the ignorant, all
are equal in a snakes eyes and are
attacked with equal severity and per-
sistence. Our temptations are only
such as are common to man. Like
the snake, the entrance for tempta-
tion's poison is exceedingly small.
Give a snake square inch of your
body and the work is done. It is
harmless till that entrance is made.
May be poison two inches deep is all
around, but if kept out of us there is
no danger. Our Saviour's prayer,
"Father save out of this hour" r"-pre-
serve my integrity should be ours.
But hell can go through very small
door. All beginnings are small. And
the poison-how deadly You may
weep over your bitten loved one, may
call to your help the best skill, but
few pains, the burning fever, then the
cold beads Of perspiration and then
the death pallor and it is all over.
These are the effects also of tempta-
tion. The pain, the feverish excite
ment, the chilly remorse and shame
and soul is ruined How touching is
the shame of Adam and Eve God
killed animals and made them clothes,
not for His sake, but to satisfy them.
So does He come to us with offers of
reconciliation and peace when we fall.

A Pretty Incident. E

The most beautiful thing I saw at
the fair was an old woman in one of
the wheel chairs, her son pushing it.
Her white hair and care-furrowed face
showed she had waited more than three
score and ten years for one of the hap
piest days of her life. The plain dress
proved neither was rich in purse; but
she was rich in joy, he richer than
Gould in making his mother happy. |
shall forget many wonderful things L
saw at the fair, but never forget the
little old woman in black resting so
cozily in that rolling chair, her joy-lit
face under the aureole of white hair,
as her stalwart son bent over and told
her some new wonder they were COM
ing to. "Are we almost there, son p
eyes, mother" he said, smiling at her
child-like enjoyment, 'and it will take
your breath away this time, sure"
And she laughed like a girl and he
chuckled like delighted boy as they
passed on, not knowing that anybody
noticed them. Perhaps no one else
saw their happiness, but he was the
one man on the grounds I envied. Oh,
the proud step, as he pushed the
chariot of the queen of all the world
to him All her proud look as she
rode through the throng, attended by
the kingliest of men-the man who
honors his mother. How much better
that money was spent than to wait till
mother died in round of monotony,
then spend it chiseling the epitaph
death wins from human selfshness.-

Broke q Rash Vow.

IRlMBLE, lENN., peD. l5.-nrs.
Cartel of near Trimble has just bro
ken a rash VOW which she made over
IL months ago, and which she sorrow
fully regretted having ever made.
About 18 months ago Mrs. Cartel
was Miss Fannie Brambley, a beauti-
full young lady of 18 years, and Jerry
Cartel was her favored suitor. But,
as is generally the case with young
lovers, a quarrel arose between them,
and in the heat of passion Miss Fan
ME angrily bade her lover leave her
presence, and vowed by high Heaven
she would never speak to him again.
The disconsolate lover took his de-
parture, but as he fairly worshipped
the girl he ardently set about to effect
a reconciliation. At last, in answer
to pitiful pleading letter, Miss Fan
ME relented and penned him loving,
forgiving message.
Overjoyed at the happy termination
of affairs he hurried to the home of
Miss Fannie and was received warmly
and affectionately, but without word
of welcome. Taking a tablet and pen
Gil from desk she began a written
conversation, as though she could not
speak a work. Cartel pleaded the
uselessness and foolishness of such
proceedings, but in vain, as his sweet
heart positively refused to utter a
word to him. She is very devout, a
member of the Methodist Church, and
was firmly impressed with the idea
that if she should break her rash VOW
God would punish her by striking her
dumb, when she could speak to no
one. She was constantly on her
guard for fear she might forget herself
and speak to her lover, thereby bring
ing this terrible visitation upon her.
The courtship proceeded with pen
Gil and paper for several months, and
then they were joined together in the
holy bonds of matrimony. During
their married life of nearly a year
Mrs. Cartel never spoke to her hus-
band until some days ago.
Last Christmas Mr.. Cartel made his
wife a present of handsome and
costly pair of vases. The other morn
ing the husband was bringing in an
armful of wood and struck one Of the
vases and knocked it to the floor where
it broke into an hundred pieces.
"Oh, Jerry, look what you have
done !" cried Mrs. Cartel.
She was horribly shocked at speak
ing to her husband, and believed that
she had been stricken dumb. To as
certain the correctness of her belief
she spoke to him again, and was over
joyed to discover that her organs of
speech had not been in the least i'm
paired.
In the happiness of again hearing
his wife speak to him, Jerry folded her
in his arms, wept tears of joy and
thanked God for the breaking Of the
vase. Mr.. and Mrs. Cartel feel as if
a cloud had been lifted from their
home, and there is not happier
couple to-day in Dyer County.

noon and night for the signal of dan
ger, for this monster leaps upon US
from unexpected quarters.
Like the serpent, temptation has the
power to charm. Begins by whisper
ing of a region just beyond the bound
ary of our past attainment, where
there are beautiful truths hitherto un-
discovered, delightful experiences
open to ALL. Have you investigated ?
He shall know good and evil. All !!
yes; but to get knowledge Of evil is to
lose that of good. Both cannot be
known by experience at the same
time. See the little bird as it jumps
from limb to limb, crying out as if
perplexed, coming down lower and
lower, till at last it loses itself in the
grip of it's enemy. Such are many of
the temptations of society. What
means the elegance of places of vice,
but that our young people arc thus
attracted and allured to ruin ? There
is pleasure in sin. What a pity that
innocent childhood should thus be led
out into moral and spiritual darkness.
This is a world of charms. We shud-
der at the ruin of the little bird,
while we enjoy the charm that allures
our own loved ones to destruction.
Temptation is like the snake in the
dexterity and persistence of an attack,
