HIS SINCERE WORDS
DR.. Browns Interesting Address a
the Revival Meeting.
LEAD A RELIGIOUS LIFE
Such a Course VIII Damage No
Man-Christians Have Nothing
to Fear-A Very Good At
tendance, Considering.

The attendance at the revival serv-
Ices last night suffered by reason OF
the various entertainments about
town and the storm which prevailed
early in the evening. The interest
manifested. however, was as deep as
usual and there were a number OF
conversions. DIR. Browns plea to sin
ners was especially strong. A sum-
mary of his address is as follows:
No man was ever damaged by lead
ing a religious life, but. oh. how many
lose character. health, wealth and hap
piriess here and hereafter In going by
the path of the ungodly. The world
cries for freedom and sells itself into
slavery. I'd rather be slave TO God
than q prince of satan. Christ sets US
free unto salvation, but the devil binds
to damnation. ~.
Christians must live soberly, must
exercise self-control. The world laughs
at the church member, the professor of
religion. who is lacking in backbone.
and sinners scorn the man who serves
God on Sunday and the devil all the
rest of the week. At the sub-treasury
building in New York city there is
delicate. accurate scale wherein Is
weighed gold coin from the mint.
When one comes to that scale which Is
short in metal the weigher casts 1t one
side and II is stamped l.. W., which
means light weight. That is the stamp
the world puts on a weak Christian.
The standard of the world is not too
high: IT asks no more of a man of God
than the Bible gives 1t right to ex-
pect

Chicago"
So with many of those who attend
church. When the service is over they
say: Goodbye. God; we are going to
the dance. to the theater, to the sa-
loom" But they can't get away from
God.

PROHTRITTON.

Again 1t appears that prohibition does
 not prohibit. A correspondent of the Boston Herald who has been making a tour of the cities of Maine for the pur- pose of discovering in what way the prohibition law is enforced, has brought out in a striking manner the inutility of this kind of legislation. He shows that in all the centers of population the law is systematically violated, and violated in most instances with entire impunity; that in many of the cities of Maine there are more liquor selling establish ments than in cities of similar size in the state of Massachusetts where local option has permitted the granting of licenses. So far as can be judged from the number of arrests for drunken ness, there is quite as much, and possi- ply more. liquor consumed in Maine in proportion to the number of inhabitants than is used in the state of Massachu- setts.
 The Herald calls attention to these facts and in illustration of the fact that extreme measures may defeat the ends it has in view it cites an experiment. which was made in England some time ago with the Westinghouse brakes. It was found that if the brakes were ap- piled with all possible force to train that was proceeding at a high rate of speed the revolution of the wheels was instantly stopped, but the motion of the train was converted into a slid ing motion, over which the engineer had not the least control. If, however, the | brakes were applied with such reduced |
