A PRAYER for Girls.

You ask for a little prayer. Here is
one written by Jeremy TAYLOR in his
effort to teach the world what was
meant by holy living. Teach me to
watch over all my ways, that | may
never be surprised by sudden tempta-
tions or a careless spirit, nor ever re-
turn to follow any vanity. Set a watch.
o Lord, before my mouth, and keep
the door of my lips, that l offend not
in my tongue, neither against piety or
charity. Teach me to think of nothing
but Thee and what is in order to Thy
glory and service; to speak nothing
but of Thee and Thy glories; and to do
nothing but what becomes Thy servant
whom Thy infinite mercy, by the
grace of Thy holy spirit, hath sealed
up to the day of Redemption. -

Home Journal.

II DOCTORS DUTY.

Inere is q grave responsibility rest
ing on the physician who prescribes al
coholic liquor. 1t may arouse in a
susceptible patient a dormant inheri-
ted tendency to drink. He may, by au
thorizing its use during the period of
convalescence, fix q habit upon a pa.
tient of feeble will which the latter
will never be able to shake off. No
physician who realizes the great moral
responsibility will be willing to accept
it habitually. He certainly knows that
the best medical authorities agree that
alcoholic intoxicants are rarely useful
as a medicine; that at best they are
dangerous remedies; and that the less
they are resorted to, the better for both
brin and body, the better for his well
being, physical and moral:
Furthermore, every physician owes
it TO his profession to teach his patients
the utter fallacy of the common belief
that alcohol is an article o ffood value.
1t has none whatever. The use of in.
toxicants in any quantity whatever, or
at any time, is entirely useless and un-
necessary. Furthermore, the continued
use of them gradually induces structu-
raj degredations and functional de.
rangements of the great bodily organs,
thus leading to the gravest physical
disorders. Alcohol is a poison, and
nothing more; u poison which exercises
its p~aralyzing, narcotizing influence in
exact proportion to the quantity con-
sumed and the power of the consumers
physical system to resist its poisonous
action. II every intelligent physician
would thus correct old errors and dis.
seminate a knowledge Of truth, there
would be u great impetus given to the
effort to pulverize the rum power.-T
