Those who borrow trouble never get

The moderate driuker is helping to
gravel the road that leads to the pit.
There isn't millionaire alive today
whom an angel would consider rich.
If the road to the pit didn't begin in

The devil will promise to pay any

1t may be that God made the Dead

Jesus wrote the woman's sins in the

1t is always safe for right to count
Oh the help OF God when It goes into

The paths OF righteousness lead

God is not an alarmist, but when
there is danger ahead he wants ue to

The only thing the matter with The

CLEyELAND'S HOT REPLY
To The Cruel Accusation OF O MethO-

WASHINGTON, April when the
report Of a speech made in Methodist
conference at Salem, Mass, b. Rev.
Lansing, and his subsequent publish
ed interview accusing the President OF
imtemperance was shown to Mr..
Cleveland this evening, he said, with
considerable warmth:
"This is simply an outrage. though
it is not the frat time thing of this
kind has been attempted. | can not
avoid feeling of indignation that any
man who makes claims to decency,
and especially one who assumes the
role of Christian minister, should
permit himself to become dissem-
inator OF wholesale lies and calumnies
not less stupid than they are cruel and
wicked.
81 easily recall other occasions when
those more or less entitled to be called
ministers OF the gospel have been in
strumental in putting into circulation
the most scandalous falsehoods con-
cerning my conduct and character,
The elements or factors of the most
approved outfit for placing a false and
bare faced accusation before the public
appeals to be first, some one with 9
baseless motive sufficient to invent it =;
and third, 3 newspaper anxiously will
ing to publish is. For the sake OF the
Christian religion. / am thankful
that thsse scandal mongering minis
ters are few, and on every account I
am glad that the American people
love fair play ond justice, and that in
spite of all effort to mislead them they
are apt to form correct estimate oil
the character and labors Of their public
servants"
