TOTAL ABsTAISERs oSLr.

Very few persons take a deep, constant
reform except total abstainers. We do not
wish TO underestimate the kindly sympathy
OF moderate drinkers who sincerely desire
10 abate the ravages OF intemperance. But
they are amateurs. Their sympathy is very
unsettled. They are willing neither 10 give
nor receive hard blows In this great strug-
gle between heaven and hell. The whole
burden OF the temperance movement has
always been borne by men aud women who
were willing to make what, after all, Is a
patry sacrifice of this particular form OF
self-indulgence. II has always been incom-
prehensible TO us that any man should hesi-
for the sake Of his church and his country :.

PERFECT PATH.

A story Is told OF a street boy In London
who had both legs broken by a dray passing
over them. He was laid away In one OF the
beds of the hospital to die, and another little
creature OF the same class was laid near by
picked up sick with famine fever. The lat
ter was allowed to lie down by the side OF the
little crushed boy. He crcpt up to him and
said; Bobby, did you ever hear about,
Jesus?" "No never heard OF him" "Bob-
by, went TO mission school once. and they
told us that Jesus would take you TO heaven
when you died, and you'd never have hun
ger any more, and no more pain II you axed
him." "f co:ldnt ask such n great big gem
tlcman as he is to do anything for me. lie
wouldn't stop to speak TO boy like me.
"But he'll do all that II you AK him" allow
can | AK him II I don't know where he
lives. and how could get there when
beth my legs is broker" Bobby, they
told me at the mission school IA how Jesus
passes by. Teacher says he goes around.
How do you know but what he might come
around to this hospital this very night2 You'd
know him III you was to see him" "But
can't keep my eyes open. My legs feel so
awful bad. Doctor says will die" Bobby,
hold up your hand, and he'll know what you
want when he passes by" They got tho
handup. II dropped. Tried again. 1t slowly
fell back Three times he got up the little
hand, only to let IL fall. Bursting into tears,
he said: 1 give 1t up" Bobby. lend me yer
hand put yer elbow on my pillew; | can do
without IL So one hand was propped up.
And when they came In the morning the boy
lay dead, his hand still held up for Jesus.
You may search the world and you cannot
find grander illustration of simple trust
than that OF the little boy who had been To
mission school but once.

A BLIND llAN-s DISCOVERY

An old herdsman of Dartmoor, England,
was taken to a London hospital 10 d,e. Inric
his grandchild used to visit and real to him.
One day she was reading To him the first
chapter OF the first epistle Of John, when she
reached the seventh verse, "And the blood
of Jesus Christ. his son, cleanseth US from all
sin, )" the old mau raised himself and stopped
tho little girl, saying with great earnestness
"Is that there. my child?" EYES, grandpa
Then read II to me again Il have never heard
tba like before" The little girl read again
And the blood OF Jesus Christ, his son,
rleanseth rs from all sin. .""You are quite sure
that Is there?" "Yes, quite sure" Then
take my hand and lay my finger on the pas
sage, for | should like to feel it," 50 she
took the old blind mans hand aud placed his
bony finger on the vers ,, when he said, "NOw
read il TO me- again" The little girl read,
with her soft, sweet voice: "And the blood Of
Jesus Christ, his Son. cleanseth us from AL
SIM You are quite sure that Is there2'
Yes, quite sure" "rhen II any one should
ask how died, tell them died in the nith
Of these words, And the blood Of Jesus
Christ, his Son, ceansetu US from all sin.
And with that the Old man withdrew his
hand, his head fell softly back on the pillow,
aud he softly passed into the presence of him
whose 'blood cleanseth us from al sin. -
