IDEAL.

Peter may forsake the ideal but the ideal
will not forsake him. The words the deeds,
the presence, the spiritual magnetism OF
Christ still flash and vibrate through his
life in spite of himself. Out there, on the
lonely sea that night, the lost ideal pursued
him. The very lap of the waves called to
mind how Jesus taught the people from
little boat, and His words mingled with the
murmuring waters. The darkness and the
rising wind recalled that strange scene when
he had walked to Christ upon the
waves and, painted on the gloom in
soft, still light, he yet seemed to see his
Lord moving on the sea. That sense of
Christ which the intimacy Of long disciple
ship had wrought into his memory was not
to be shaken off at will it ran, like a subtle
essence, through all his thoughts. He was
indeed forsaking the ideal; but the ideal had
not yet done with him. And as it was with
Peter, so, thank God it may be with us.
We are not allowed to sink into sordidness
without many a struggle with our
better self. Our ideal possesses us, and
can only be driven off by violence. How
often in wakeful nights, in quiet hours Of
reverie, in some still moment we have
known by moor or sea, has our Ideal come
back to us, and all the old high aims and
thoughts we once knew have throbbed again
through our softened nature! Seize
such hours-they are Gods hours, when
He is very nigh to them that seek Him. You
have gone a-fishing, but God has followed
you upon the barren sea- and can meet you
even there. for He is not far from any one
of us-Rev. W. J. Dawson.

RELIGIOUS READING.
AFFLICTION.

There is no keyto af11iction but key that
can unlock eternity also. This world has no
compensation, but when we can take in an
other world, then there may be compensa-
ton. 1 can fancy if a grain of wheat had
intelligence and soul, and found itself
buried in the cold, damp earth of spring.
without light and heat, it might say, why
am thus? 1t is terrible to be underground,
terrible to be in the dark. am likely to de-
cay" But in few weeks the sprout is
evolved, the blade has spread out,
the stalk has expanded, the. flowers are
clad in beauty, the ripe grain is on the ear,
and then there is the answer. Partial dark
ness and sorrow, if I might use the phrase,
preceded growth, expansion, beauty, and
fruit. So it may be with US. 1t seems to
be Gods order that night precedes the day,
sorrow the joy. darkness the light. You
may be in the valley, but God has a noun
tain-top for you ; and believe it is true in
all lands, the deeper the valle.- the higher
the mountain-peak. l believe it is true in
all experience also, the deeper the sorrow
the richer the joy. Christ's sorrows were
greater than human sorrows, and His glory
is greater than human glory. And when
the revelator saw some bright spirits under
the throne, and the question was asked,
"Who are they up so high, who are just
under the throne, and beside the fountain OF
glory?" the answer was, ''These are they
which came out of great tribulation, and
have washed their robes and made them
white in the blood of the Lamb" Affections,
then, become full of meaning, and to many
a heart is realized the truth ''Our light
affection, which is but for moment, work.
eth for us far more exceeding and eternal
weight of glory."-Bishop Simpson.

NARROW PLACE.

IA narrow place !'' You know that place;
you have been there, you will very likely be
there again ere long; some Of you may be
there at this very moment. For it is not
merely a defile away somewhere among the
mountains to the east of Moab. 1t is life
passage in individual experiences-a time
when there is no evading or escaping re-
sponsibilities where we are brought face to
face with some inevitable question.
Temptation is such marrow place." In
the serious crises of the souls history it is
alone. 1t is path on which there is room
only for itself, and before it there is
God. Between these two always the
matter has to be settled. Yes or
no is the hinge on which everything
turns. Shall yield and dishonor God, or
shall resist and triumph in His might2
There is no possible compromise; for COM
promise with sin is itself the most insidious
through these crises, and be after it precisely
what he was before it. He has met God
face to face, and he must be either the bet
ter or the worse for that. Either like Jacob,
at Peniel, he can say, "My life is preserved"
or like Saul, after he had thrown off his al
legiance to his God, he has to exclaim, "Je-
hovah has departed from me, and is become
mine enemy. William M. Taylor, ID.
Passaic City record., 1896-10-17
EXPECTATION.

Rest in expectation we may all have now
if we believe in God and know we are His
children. Every taste of Him that we have
ever had becomes prophecy of His perfect
giving of Himself to US. 1t is as when
pool lies far up in the dry rocks, and hears
the tide and knows that her refreshment
and replenishing are coming. How patient
she is The other pools nearer the shore
catch the sea first, and she hears them leap
ing and laughing, but she waits patiently.
She knows the tide will not turn back till it
has reached her. And by and by the blessed
moment comes. The last ridge of rock is
overwashed. The stream pours in at first
a tickling thread sent only at the supreme
effort of the larger wave; but by and by
the great sea in it's fulness. 1t gives the
waiting pool itself and she is satisfied. So
it will certainly be with US if we wait for the
Lord, however He delays, and refuse to let
ourselves be satisfied with any supply but
Him.-Phillips Brooks.

THE GROWTH OF TEMPERANCE.

The report presented at the annual gather
ing of the Catholic Abstinence Union OF
America shows a wonderful increase of the
organization, says the st. Louis Republic
Last year it established 120 societies, with a
membership of 5761, and In three years a
total membership Of 18, ,3S2 has been enrolled.
This is certainly record of which any
temperance organization can feel justly
proud, and, taken in connect on with the
gains made by other temperance bodies. is a
striking testimony to the growing popularity
OF the temperance cause.
1t Is remarkable, however, that, notwith-
standing the zeal ofsuch organizations as the
Catholic Total Abstinence Union, the decline
In the consumption of intoxicating liquors
seems exceedingly small.
Some figures are now published as to the
consumption of certain intoxieants in the
last ten years. These show that the total
annual consumption of distilled spirits has
fallen from l. 46 to 1888 gallons head of the
population, while in the consumption of
wine there is decline of six per cent. of a
gallon. On the other hand, there has been
an increase In the consumption of beer and
other malt liquors. the periohmentioned
the consumption has risen from 10. IA to 49, .18
gallons. These figures would indicate
change Of taste in the matter of liquors
rather than any marked growth of total alb
stlnence. Ii temperance does not spread
mere rapidly, however, the fault does not
lie with such organizations as the Catholic
Total Abstinence Union, whose splendid
work is universally recognized. And it il
certain that, whether or not the average
consumption of alcohol has decreased, act.
ual drunkenness has been markedly dimin,
ished. The temperance societies must have
at least part of the credit

WHAT WE THINK OF CHRIST.

When we think of Christ as being at
distance from us who has merely done
mighty work, when we eat the bread and
drink the wine in remembrance of an alb
sent Friend, not as pledges of a near and
present one, the pressure of evil that crushes
down our faith and hope and love seems to
make the past redemption wholly unavail-
ing for our great necessity. But Christ
in us, as st. Paul told the Co.
we want is not that we should
attain some separate and selfish bliss, but
that he who has been striving with us all our
lives through, to deliver US from the separa-
ton and selfishness which have been our
torment and curse, should effect his own
purpose-that we should be his willing SER
wants, free children of his Father, formed
into one family and body by his blessed
Spirit forever.-F. D. Maurice.

ONLY WOMAN SLAIN.
It was only woman slain
By the drunken frenzied hand
OF one who had pledged to protect her
By loves divine command.
1t was only an item of news
(Who cares for the woman slainO
And the world goes on unheeding
Another's sorrow or pain.
1t is only home destroyed
And children outcast and lost,
Yet pause for moment and think
What this sinful traffic cost
Three thousand women are slain
Each year in this Christian land,
And the gallows claims its due
By Justices stern demand.
Pause as the days go by.
There's hundred thousand lives
Given each year on this altar OF sin
A human sacrifice.
And the land is sad with broken hearts,
The Nation stands in dishonor,
History records with shame
This stain that rests upon her.
Oh. Lord, hast Thou forsaken.
Thou who art strong to save?
Oh, touch mems hearts with pity
And make them true and brave
Brave to fight Thy battle
Until the right they win
And bear Thy cross triumphantly
In every strife with sin!

A GOOD EXAMPLE,

The Belgian Minister of Railways, Posts
and Telegraphs has forbidden the sale oi
liquor, even of wine or beer, by any of the
agents of his department. In explaining to
the chamber his conduct, and justifying it,
he said it had been represented to him that
"There are In your administration 140e
agents keeping taverns and you have been
surprised at having so often to punish agents
who are found drunk on duty. The evil il
there in these 400 taverns. You ars aston

happen through the abuse of liquors, and

TOTAL ABSTINENCE THE ONLY SAFEGUARD.
There are those who say, Drink, but
drink temperatety. Take your glass or two
of beer or wine, but don't meddle with that
borrld whisky. And, whatever you do, take
all your drink at home. Don't enter the
saloon. If you will only learn to drink Id
moderation, you shall be saved from drink.

at all, you will find the restraint irksome
principle Of reaction. But crafty your ap-
petite for these things, moderately and ha-
bitually, and the temptation to excess at
any time will be lessened thereby"
To this there are two fatal objections: O
