HOLD ON; OR LET cor

Years ago in one of the new Eng
land states, in the good old times
when the debating school was in
all its glory, the talent OF the vii
lage ranged itself around the mo-
mentous question eff man has
hold Of a tigers tail had he better
hold on or let go?" The debate
ranged round the four sides OF the
question without resulting in any.

clusion, beyond the generally ex-
pressed opinion that "the Teller

From that day, years before the

republic, until this one, OF unified
national life, that old New Eng
land school house and it's earnest
dsbaters rise up whenever some
unnecessary dilemma into which
individuals, or nations, have placed
themselves forces the reflection.
1t comes with special force in
its application to tho tragedy
which threatens Eastern Europe
with all the horrors OF terrible
war. 1t forces itself upon the no.
tice OF the observing mind as it
reviews the scene of conflict in
beautiful Cuba. the queen of the
Antilles. It forecasts possible
rupture between this government
and that of Great Britain over her
unjustifiable encroachments upon
Venezuelan territory, and still
propounds the ever recurring ques-
ton.
1t is not with this latter, how
ever, that thesermon of this morn
ing has to do. The LIGHT preach.

Sunday politics to those secular
ministers, who deem it their duty

The man in business, or politics,

find that in some critical period of

brush his fingers. He will be seiz.
ed with that insane desire to grasp
it which has been the death OF so
many thousands. The temptation
will be hard to resist. Then in the
hour OF that temptation will it
behoove him to count the cost and
consider well how he is to let go
before he takes hold Of the tigers
tail.
To the great congregation of the
LIGHT this morning, the preacher
saith. Beloved! Consider the
tigers tail. 1t Is small thing in
itself, but what a great narrative
it unfolds. Blessed is that man
who so keeps his deeds and desires
in hand as not itch for the
tigers tail. Blessed is that man,
also, who itching for that tail hold
remembers that it is an easy
thing to catch on, and an impossi-
BILE thing to let go. Fortunate,
but not happy, is the man who
having taken hold hangs on, until
he follows the tiger to his death.
The number thereof are not
legion. II you banker after this
vision OF the tigers tail, let some
other fellow do the act, and be
thou content to behold him do It,.
1t is better to see the show than

Those brooding, breeding brains

This latter conclusion forcibly re-
minds one OF the witty old par

Adam?" His divisions were (:
First, every man is somewhere !:
Second, many men are where they
have no business to be: Third,

| This is unquestionably the case
with the man who has hold OF the
tigers tail. He is where he does
not want to be, aud this generally
arises from his being where he has
no business to be. These two are
more nearly related together than
we are accustomed to think, the
being where we have no business
to be and the being where we do
not want to be. 1t Is this fact that
