should any man go that way? He
should keep MS far from 1t as possible.
1t is very dangerous road to enter.
The place where the ungodly are in
counsel is no place for good man.
1t will ruin his reputation and his
character.
But If one should yield to curiosity
or temptation and walk that way, thus
entering the first stage in the down.
ward career, what is the next stageY
The Psalmist tells us.
Nor standeth in the way of sim
ners." That is the second step. The
man who has been SO rash as to walk
along where the ungodly are in coun-
sci is likely to stop and listen He
"standeth." He wonders what they
are saying. He begins to be interest
ed in their conversation and plans.
The bloom OF his fresh innocence is
gone indeed. He has entered on the
second stage Of his downward course.
When he has gone SO far as this,
when he is not offended by the talk
and counsel OF the ungodly, but in
willing to stand still in the way of sim
ners, he is far gone indeed. He in
very near the thier and last stage.
Nor sitteth in the seat of the scorn-
full" That is the end; the last stage
is reached. When he has learned to
endure vice, to stand and listen to tho
counsel of the ungodly, then he will
soon be ready to sit down with them,
take part in their counsel. lie becomes
one of them, ungodly with the ungod-
ly, sinner with sinners, scorner
with the scornful He has forgotten
God; he has forsalsen the company of
the good; he is lost to holy influence.
He is like the chaff which the wind
driveth away. He is of the ungodly
whose way shall perish.
This is an old lesson. "Obsta prin-
cipiis," Beware OF beginnings" said
the old Latin proverb. Keep the camels
nose out of the tent Is the teaching Of
an ancient Arab fable. Memo repente
turpissimus fuit," Nobody ever be-
came utterly base all OF n sudden" said
Juvenal. 1t is commonplace of ex-
perience, and yet one of the most inn
portant and useful discoveries of ex-
perience, that we can preserve purity
by avoiding contamination, by keeping
out of bad company; while those who
consort with the wicked will not only
be known by the company they keep,
but will be corrupted by it.
The lesson is especially Important
for the young. Parents should teach
their children that it is not necessary
for them to get sight and knowledge
of evil things, that it is perilous for
them to satisfy even the curiosity Of
seeing them. 1t is easy to say that
we can go back after starting wrong;
but it is n great deal easier to keep
right than IL is to come back after go-
ing wrong even IA little way. Why
should one turn and walk in the way
OF the ungodly, even il he does not in
tend TO stand, much less to sit there?
There is danger in that first step along
that road Even IL the step seems a
very short one it is better to avoid it.
Don't take the first glass; don't seek
the first experience of moral defile-
ment. Preserve purity by avoiding
the presence, or, with Paul, even the
appearance f.evil. This is the good
lesson of the Hebrew midrash on the
first Psalm. IN. Y. Independent

COUPLING TEMPTATION.
The lesson OF an Old Hebrew Midrash on
the First Psalm.

Perhaps we can learn good Chris
tian less on from an old rabbinic com
ment IN the first Psalm.
'Blesse' : the man." says the wise
Psalmist. that walketh not in the
counsel of the ungodly." That is a
road, says the Jewish midrash, that he
ought TO have kept of from. Why

They are Mrs. Ellen Batelle Dietrich,

The Committee on Patriotic Instruction
is composed of six members, of whom
Eliza d. Keith, better known as "Di Yer

Frances Il. Willard, Mrs. Isabella G. Da.

widely known.
The National Council, while the larg-

women of the country, is one of the new.
est. 1t is logically the result rather than
the outgrowth of the National Suffrage
Association and the American Association
for the Advancement of Women. In 1888
and 1889, they began an agitation looking
toward a new organization, built upon q
much broader basis. This eliminated in
the first session of the body, which took
place in 1891, which was a very remarka-
BILE success. The second ~triennial should
have been held in 1894. but as nearly all
the members had met in Chicago at the
Worlds Fair, and especially at the
Worlds Congress, and had transacted
much of the business which usually comes
before the council. they deemed it ad-
visable to postpone the second triennial
to the present year, and in the meantime

Tie officers Of the Council.
The president of the National Council
is the same Mrs. May Wright Sewall
who was the moving spirit of the Women's
Congress at the Worlds Fair, assisted by
the other officers of the council. Mrs.
Frances E. Bagley, the vice-president, is
a rich and prominent society leader of
Detroit. Mrs. Isabella Charles Davis, the
recording secretary, is the bcst-known of
the councils officers. for she is the bust
ness manager and one of the founders
of the international Order of the Kings
Daughters and Sons, which has a strength
of more than $4,000. The treasurer of
the council is Lillian NJ. N. Stevens, of
Stroudwater, Me-, and has become promi-
nent through her work for the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union. One of the
most interesting of the councils officers
is Mrs. Rachael Foster Avery, the CORE
spending secretary. She had a prominent
part in the organization of the Women's
Congress at the Worlds Fair, and in
many other ways her name has become
we'll known.
Behind the Board of Officers come the
four great standing committees, who are
supposed to represent the four most impor.
tant fields of modern feminine thought.
The first is on dress, of which Frances E.
Russell, of st. Paul, Mimi, is chairman,
and which also includes the New York

Europe and within it all the navies Of

The city until recent years was the
second in Ireland. but it nov ranks
third in Importance. The county, Of
which Cork is the capital, in the early
history of Ireland was a separate
kingdom, including. however. a con
siderable tract in Kerry and Limerick
1t was ruled over by the MacCarthys.
The territory was contlscated by Hen
Try ii. Of England, being divided
among his followers, Robert Fitz Ste

forfeited and granted to Englishmcn
In sympathy with England's sway in
ireland. Two of the beneticiaries were
the illustrious but Inflated Sir Walter
Raleigh and the poet Edmund Spenser.
The city of Cork boasts of a high
antiquity. 1t is supposed to have been
built by the Danes in the sixth century
and the city walls were built by the
Danes in the ninth century and after

Two Funerals.

That Is a touching story told of the
funeral Of Sir Walter Scott: The road
by which the procession took its way
wound over a hill, whence can be seen
one Of the most beautiful of landscapes.
1t was his habit to pause there to gaze
upon the scene, and when taking a
friend out for q drive he never failed
to stop there and call the attention Of
hic companion to the most beautiful
points Of the view. Few could refrain
from tears when, carrying their master
on his last journey, the horses stopped
at the old familiar spot, as it were for
linn to give a last look at the scene he
had loved so well.
Extremes meet. I told this anecdotc
of SCOTS funeral to a friend, who, in
turn, told me a story. A little less than
a century ago there lived in a certain
New England village a graceless fellow
who spent most of his time at the grog
shop, to the neglect of all honest call
ings. When the summons had at last
come for him
ITO join
The innumerable caravan that moves
To the pale realms of shade"
as his funeral procession, on it's way to
the place of burial, passed his favorite
haunt, the bearers inadvertently turned
a little aside, at the same time slacken-
ing their pace. The wag Of the neigh
borhood spoke hastily: go on! go on"
said he; don't stop here, for mercy's
sake! He'll be sure to so in!-Journal
