WHY He Sees Double.

The reason that a man sees double after
he has gazed too long on the wine when 1t
is red is that he nerve centers are changed
by the action of the alcohol There is q
muscles which move the eyeballs. Conse-
Guently, instead of both eyes being
focused simultaneously on an object, one
eye receives All impression independently
of the othtr. Tn two iMpi> ssions are
communicated to the brain, and the
object is therefore seen twice.
The inhamcd condition and loss OF en-
ergy in the brain centers from over-doses
of alcohol also account fer the staggering
gait of an Intoxicated man.

Alcohol Is Not . Food.

DR.. L. A. Klein, French stan sur
geon, in lecturing on the effects Of the
use Of alcohol during the siege of Paris
by the Germans, is reported in Gustaf-
son IS work as saying:
I'VE drank because we had nothing
to eat We found most decidedly that
alcohol was no substitute for bread and
meat We also found that it was not n
substitute for Goals. We had plenty of
alcohol, but it did not make Us warm.
Let me tell you there is nothing will
make you feel the cold more. nothing
that will make you feel the dreadful
sense Of hunger more. than alcohol. "
DR.. ". Richardson, in his Ten Lee
lures on Alcohol" says;
IAN the evidence of general kind
which can be gathered points to the use
lessness, for man, of such an artificial
agent as alcohol"

His poor old shoulders are bent.

On dsrksome down hill road.

DIMINISHES WILL POWER.
One of the Effects of Alcoholic Poison
on the Human System.


There goes Christian is what
the Mohammedan says when he sees q
drunken man. This is natural, because
no true follower of the faith Of Moham-
med ever uses alcohol in any form.
And yet what reflection this is on
q great Christian nation! Very few peo-
pie realize that the people of the United
States spend enough money every year
for intoxicating liquors, which simply
deprive them Of their manhood and in
tellect, to pay all Of the expenses Of the
government without cent Of taxation.
Why is this? Simply because the people
who use Intoxicating liquors or any malt
beverages fail TO appreciate the fact
that they contain the poison alcohol. 1t
is the gradual Introduction Of this in
sidious poison into the system which
gives a man an uncomfortable appetite
for its effects, and every man will have
it if he uses alcohol in any form long
enough or often enough. The alcohol
will change the type Of his nerve cells,
and he will suffer from alcoholism, a
disease which is marked by an appetite
for stimulants and diminished will
power And then when the man wants
to stop he can't. because he is IN the
power of the disease. kansas City

Pay the Debt.

Forgiveness caanot make sinner
be or feel as if he had never sinned.
There must be. in addition to forgive
ness. an atonement for his sin, paying
Of the debt, before he can feel that the
burden of his guilt is removed Hence
the necessity of the atonement made BY
Christ not to appease the wrath Of God,
but to bring relief to the soul Of the
penitent sinner. Jesus paid it all, all
the debt owed, are the tidings that he
must hear and believe before he can

What Horace Greeley Said of Rum.

l heard Horace Greeley declare more
than 40 years ago, in public lecture on
the evils Of intemperance, that alcohol
was a rank poison in its effects on the
brain and body Of human beings. and
that it was only produced by decompos-
ing and rotting food So substances, and that
the process and purpose were wicked
and de6ling. and that satan alone could
have taught mankind how to distill al
cohol with which to besot and poison
themselves. Joseph Medill.

2S-Comment by Rev.S. IL. Doyle.
ToPIc.-On guard-over what howf-Neh-
In 6-23. "a temperance toplc.)
Nehemiah and his followers in re-
building the walls of Jerusalem after
their return from captivity are opposed
by the allied forces of the surrounding
heather nations. They hoped to take
them by surprise, but Nehemiah heard
of their intentions I'D made prepare
tons to meet and repulse hisaSz1Aants
This may illustrate to Us the necessity
Of being on guard against the enemies
of our souls, and in the way that Nehe-
miah guarded himself so may we guard
ourselves against the assaults Of sin and
satan.
l. We must be on guard over our
souls. The enemies of Nehemiah were
both from without and within. With
ynt were the combined, angry, deter
mined, willy leaders of the heather
armies about them. Within there was
the opposition of the respondent and
the discouraged lahorers. In guarding
the soul the Christian must meet the
same kind of enemies The enemies Of
the soul are without in the form Of sa-
tan, sin, temptation, evil men, who are
anxious to lead Gods children astray,
and in many other forms Within are
the doubts and discouragements that
arise from the natural weakness OF the
human nature. We must keep guard
over all these things if we save the
soul from destruction. Then must also
skill be displayed in guarding ourselves
against the assaults that are made upon
us Nehemiah very carefully arranged
everything to meet successfully the at
tack of the enemy against him. Tact
and skill must be displayed i'll guarding
ourselves against temptation and sin.
We must know what are our weak
uesses, that we may fortify them spe-
cially, for it is here that the most Wig
orous assaults will be made. We must
understand ourselves; we must under
stand the enemy and be on constant
guard.
2. How must we guard ourselves? /.
By prayer. Though Nehemiah had a
strong, determined enemy against him,
he was not discouraged, but first prayed
unto God. Prayer is our strongest safe
guard The enemy may be numerous
and strong, but God is strength both
against numbers and might BE can
give US strength to overcome the might
TEST enemies if we but ask Him. He
knows our foes. He understands our
weaknesses He desires our safety. He
has promised to sustain us. and our
hope should be in Him. 2. Watchful-
ness. The Jews not only prayed. but
watched Gay and night. So we should
habitually watch ourselves and the
temptations and sins that easiest gain
tho victory over US 8. Prayer and
watchfulness. Watch and pray" said
Christ to His disciples. The two must
be com bined. Prayer aids watching, and
watching aids prayer. Prayer alone is
presumption; watchfulness alone is sim
