TEMPERANCE.
A woMAN's WORDS,

Mrs. Lake. the third Vice-President of the
G. T. A. U. of America, IS at present speak
ing in New England in behalf of the total
abstinence cause. Her views on the temper
ance question may be estimated from the
extract from one of her recent addresses:
"The cause of temperance has been so
often and well advocated" said she, to one
of her audiences, in Connecticut. that
will try to avoid the old-time beaten paths
and put the matter before you In another
light. / believe we have outgrown the idea
that the rumseller must be abused. There
is channel through which we may control
the traffic and that is through mems con-
science. In this way we appeal to the better
self, and that is the way believe we should
meet the question. We should deal with the
subject as in the line of the mans duty to
his God and his neighbor
"The existence of the licensed saloon as it
exists to-day is due to the carelessness of
mon. Those who issue the license recognize
a danger in 1t and so restrict it so many feet.
from a church or school house door. If
there is danger, then, why not keep it away
from the home door? Restrict its use and
prevent the poverty that now is the result of
the use of strong drink. What will you say
to the neglect of the children? This is one
of the great questions in the whole subject
the rights of the little ones. My heart goes
out to them and also to the drunkard who
is weak by nature and unable to Withstand
temptation. But he can have chance to
reform and much praise and good words can
be given to the work and the works of the
Kelley institution. 1t is the moderate
drinker that is the greatest stumbling block
to the temperance cause.
because one man can drink a little other
young men think that they can do likewise
and drink or not as they please. The best
way is to join total abstinence society and
protect yourself and be beacon for others.
1t wonld be good thl g if when the license
question was voted OH the voters had two
ballot boxes instead of one. Then think
we would have difference in the result.
The wealthy brewer. the ward politician and
the barroom frequenter would vote in one
box, but the better class of citizens would
not want to be in that line and SO would vote
no."

DRINK AND CRIME,

Rev. J. W. Horsley. NJ. A., an eminent
English clergyman and reform leader, on
being asked recently, (Which produces, more Re,
crime, do you think-drink or gambling?"
replied: "Drink, undoubtedly. Gambling is
an increasing plague among men, and also
among women. But it is not noticeable
cause of crime among women. though 1 be-
lieve it will be. At present crimes through
gambling are chiefly confined to certain
classes-such as clerks and postoffice men.
But drink counts for every form OF crime
suicide, stealing, murder. In England and
Wales fifty per cent. of crime is directly, and
twenty-five per cent. indirectly. attributed to
intemperance, which is slightly decreasing
among men, but largely increasing amone.
women of all classes. Other chief causes OF
crime are the absence of direct moral teach
ing in schools. Sabbath-schools, and from
the pulpit; the love of luxury and finery and
the absence of cumulative or progressive
system of punishment for the same offences.
Poverty is to very small extent the cause
of crime

E. P. BROWNS APHoRIsMs.

Elijah P. Brown, editor of the Rams Horn,
expressed the following thoughts on temper
ance:
Woe unto them, is Gods red light waving
at the edge of the bottomless pit. 1t is
warning; not a decree of vengeance.
There is as much of Gods love in warn
ing as there is in promise.
The man who begins by drinking some
time, may end by having to drink all the
time.
Better stay in bed all day than get up early
in the morning to drink.
Wine opens the damper to let all the fires
of evil in man burn.
There Is no sin that a man 1nfamed with
wine may not commit.
When man gets up early in the morning
to drink he is apt to spend the day in doing
nothing else.
Whoever forms the drink habit gives the
devil mortgage on his sleep.
The sparkle in the wine is made by one OF
the DEVILS sharpest teeth.
When the devil would run his claws clear
through a man and clinch them on the other
side he makes him believe that moderate
drinking won't hurt him.
Appetite for drink IS the DEVILS iron chain
on the drunkard's neck
If angels know what the saloons are doing,
it must puzzle them to understand why God
holds the judgment back.
Many man puts his family in the dark to
help the saloon pay its gas bill.
Every moderate drinker is leading an army
of boys toward the pit.
The easiest time to let drink alone is be-
fore the first drink Is taken.
Bridget starts her fire with coal oil. Tho
devil uses alcohol.
If there is Joy in heaven when sinner re'
pents, what happens when boy goes into a
saloon?
If you would teach children to hate drink,
give them the first lesson before they leave
the cradle.

The following pitiful story of the ruin
wrought by the rum demon, is reported:
wretched mother dropped dead abous
four weeks ago at the feet of the son who
had been a burden and a sorrow to her.
This son. who was thirty years old. instead
of helping his mother, spent his wages for
whisky. At last the mother concluded that
committing him as an habitual drunkard
might lead to his reformation. She was
called to the witness stand to swear to the
complaint, but the strain was too great for
her. and she fell dead with the words on her
lips, "It's breaking my heart"

PRESENT AND FUTURE.

We can shape our present, and thereby
create a future. We can cry to God for the
touch of a new life in our present. What we
refuse to do in each to day as it comes, will
never be done by US in the future. And SO
the question comes to us at the opening of a
new year: What are we doing with our
selves How are we spending the present
One of two things mast be done. We must
continue in the same course, or change. 10
refuse to forsake evil becomes a deliberate
resolution to choose evil. We cannot re-
main neutral. In matters relating to time
indecision is decision. Some discouraged
soul may exclaim "Ah, l have no future !
The Almighty hath hedged me about Lover
and friend He has removed. l sit solitary.
I am weary. | am weak, and have no
strength nor courage for struggles.
And yet there is a noble reso-
luton such can make, and that
is to keep on with patience and faith.
Though you are discouraged, God is not...
Do not dwell on the past, and take its dried
joys and steep them into cup OF bitterness,
and make that your daily draught. There is
40 tonic in such decoction. Do not sigh :
s.Oh that were as in days of past. Do not
preserve these faded flowers, but think OF
the growing plants. Bloom is ever coming
on. if YOU will seek for it. Opportunities for
usefulness will confront us all along the COM
ing days Let us not neglect them, as too
often we have done during the past year,.
Let us resolve to make the New Year the best
wear of our lives. The Christ spirit is not
yet in us in its completeness, but let us strive
earnestly for its increasing possession.

W. G.. r. u. COLUMN.

The Baltimore and Ohio railroad re-
Gently discharged some OF its trainmen
because they 'took II glass now and
them" but it was not claimed that the
unfortunate men were drunk. The
railway Age. referring to this action,
says:
"A policy of this nature is severe, but
it needs only a moments thought to see
that it is founded on reason. The rail-,
road business is one of exceedingEespen-
slbility. Menta, clearuess is all import
ant in the performance OF its duties, and
strong drink tends to the confusion Of
the faculties"
Railway managers evidently believe
that the use Of intoxicating drinks un-
fits a man for the faithful perfor nance
OF duty for most Of the roads in Ameri,
ca at the present time will discharge an
emp}oye if it is known that he touches
strong drink in any form and at any
place. In our own state not long ago a
man lost his position on a railroad for
drinking while taking q vacation, and
though friends interceded 10 his behalf,
and he himself gave assurance Of total all
stlnence in future, he was not reinstated.
Now, il an occasional glass Of liquor
tends to the confusion of the faculties Of
trainmen, does 1T not also tend to dull
the mental perception Of men in other
responsible positions? Is it not passing
strange that men who are known to
take not merely al occasional glass, but
aver to imblbe SO freely as at times to
be unfit for any duty, should sometimes
be sent to our Legislative halls to enact
laws for a great state or even for a ma.
ton? We maintain that as steady a
hand and as clear q head is needed TO
guide the affairs of state as to run a
railroad.
1t is cot enough hat our statesmen
and rulers should be merely sober men;
it is not enough that the men whom the
people place in responsible positions in
the state or the nation, should refrain
from the abuse Of alcoholic beverages:
they should totally abstain from them
in every form and at every time. No
government can exercise proper care
over the life and property entrusted to
it until it adopts as high q standard
concerning the use of alcohol as do the
railroad corporations.
