The Broken Vow.

A parishioner, who was dear friend,
read his pastor a page from life's his
tory to this fact: When a small boy
he gave his heart to Christ. He was
engaged in a brickyard 10 carry clay,
often on his head, for twenty-five cents
a day. Then he vowed that one-tenth
of his income he would give to God.
This he conscientiously did, and pros
perity followed until his income was
$1,000; and then the trial Of his life
CAME, in which he went down in
financial disaster. Here his faith baked.
He said: "After disaster had swept
all away I learned what l had not
known before-that it is easier to give
one-tenth of S72 than of $4,000. A
man is truer to God when he works for
twenty-five cents a day, and has less
tempations and more strength to meet
them. whose income is six dollars
month than if it is $685." He re-
gained wealth. but it was in strict COM
pliance with the VOW of his youth,
which his disaster enabled him to full
fill until his death.
Here is an instance of negative proof
viz: that there is that withholdeth
more than is meet, and it tendeth to
poverty" The positive proof would
no doubt fill volumes were it written
out.-Rev. A. J. Gordon, in Review of
Missions.

For Drinking Men.

A man prominent in the affairs of
Dunkirk, says the Buffalo Courier,
Yesterday related the following
incident: lone day, two months
after I had signed the pledge, l had
craving for a drink of whiskey so
strong that could see nothing else
but drinks about me, and felt as If l
must have at least one drink. told
friend of my state of mind. He said
you need not drink. can tell you OF
a substitute that will stop your discom-
fort. Get a bowl of ice water and a
raw potato, peel it and cut down one
end of it to size convenient to take
in the mouth. Dip the potato in the
ice water and suck it every time you
think YOU must have the whiskey.'
[ took the bowl of ice-water and the
potato and placed them at the head of
nv bed, and would dip the potato in
water and place it between my lips
every few minutes until I went to
sleep. Iawoke free from my desire to
drink whiskey, and have been free
from it ever since. That one treat
menteradicated my craving for whis
key for all the time that has since
elapsed"
