THE LIONS OF DANGER AND DREAD
 WHICH WE SAW IN OUR PATHWAY
 WERE THE MERE IMAGES OF OUR OWN
 WEAKNESS.
 My sons,' said an old man on his death bed, II have had great deal Of trouble in my life, but most of it never happened" How many of us who have arrived at the peri'd of middle life can not look back through many experiences and make the same confession:
 We have met with great difficulties :; we have had our troubles; We have felt our weakness when We came upon Ob- stacles in our way we have been puzzled and porplex2d as to what was b st; we have suffered from many doubts and fears when questions of right and wrong have eXacted our decision; we have been involved in the evils which others have done acd struggled to free ou'- selves; we have been disappointed and felt. for the time being, that all was lost we have come to many new experiences with fear and trembling; put in all these things how often it has proved true that when we have arrived st the place where the trouble was supposed to be, it was not there, and indeed tt WAS not any where except in us The lions of danger which We saw in our pathway were the mere images of our weakness, or fear or want of faith in God, or lack of knowledge; or if they were in any ca-e lions of real di1icuity and evil to u. when they reached us they were securely chained and could not harm us.--O. c Wright.

A letter carrier said his wife liked
coffee so well and seemed to really need
it at breakfast, it was too bad for the
doctor to order her to discOtinue it. he
told her that her bad complexion, dys-
papsia, nervousness and occasional pal
pitatiOn of the heart all came from one
cause and that was coffee drinking. The
good man went on further to say My
child if you were as strong as your hus-
band and had the miles of outdoor
walking to do that he has daily, you
could drink one cup of coffee, or per-
hapS two, at breakfast and dinner with
out any very bad effects, but the same
poisonous a1kaloids exist in coffee as
are found in tobacco, whisky, strych-
nine and morphine Ihere IS not 50
great a proportion of them in coffee as
in the other drugs, but a sufficient
amount exists to seriously injure any
one whose constitution is a little below
par. All of these drugs can be used for
a time by perfectly healthy people, but
if their use is persisted in long enough,
the human body finally gives evidence
of the effect of the steady poison, and
many people who do not know this fact
die because Of their unnatural habits.
If you could use q hot drink in the
