For the SENTINEL.
Cautions Against Jntemperancr.
Proverbs XXI1I-l3-22:j.

The above is the subject OF the Sun
day school lesson tor Sunday, December
13. In verse q Of the lesson, you will
find these words: For the drunkard
and the glutton shall come to poverty.
So therefore we should be temperate
in all things, not only in drink, but it
temper, in speech and in conduct.
The advice given in the text is ad'
dressed specially to the young, and
would, as one who loves the young, ad'
wise our ministers, teachers, supcrn'
tendents and parents in giving instruc-
tions to the young to emphasize the
virtue of temperance in the broadest
sense.
Verse 1919. A wise son-A child
that early developes good character,
that shows he prefers right to wrong,
good to Evil, rejoices the heart of his
father and mother. and gives promise
of a useful life. 1.-The end OF such a
life is peace and joy forever
Verse 1922. "Be not among drunk
ards or wine-5ibbers. Men who spend
their money aud their time in the wine
shops, whisky saloons, Tor as we would
now say in Grenada in blind-tigersl,
and gambling hells, are dangerous
companions for young and old, especial
ly young men, for they not only ruin
themselves soul and body, but tempt
others to do the same. The devil has
no more active or successful agents in
this world than the ''whisky men,"
including those who make it, buy it,
sell or drink it. There is evil ana
only evil in it,
would also urge upon every one to
read verse % carefully. There is nothing
that affords good parents moro pleas
ure than to see their children grow up
to be sober, honest and truthful. There
is no lovelier sight in this sinful world
than christian household, where
parents and children are all servants
Of God and living in love with one
another. Ssuch home Saints and An
gels love to visit.

The Brandon News says Wilson +,
Stevenson hauled fifteen bales OF cot
ton to Brandon on one wagon last
week. He started from home With
only four yoke of oxen, but found 1t
necessary before proceeding far on his
tourney to add another yoke. When
it is considered that the roads Of Kan
kin are not of the best and that there
are many hills and boggy places to DC
crossed. it is probable that this load
will take the prize for being the larg-
est hauled to the market on one way

Catarrh Cannot be Cured

With local applications, as they cannot
reach the seat of the disease. Catarrh
is a blood or constitutional disease, and
in order to cure it you must take in
ternal remedies. Halls Catarrh Cure
is taken internally, and acts directly
on the blood and mucous surfaces.
Halls Catarrh Cure is not a quack
medicine. 1t was prescribed by one OF
the best physicians in this country for
years, and is a regular prescription. 1t
is composed of the best tonics known,
combined with the best blood purifiers,
acting directly on the mucous sur
faces. The perfect combination of the
two ingredients is what produces such
wonderful results in curing catarrh.
