THE LITTLE SHOES.
Story of How They Instituted "A Tenn
perance Reform.

AT temperance meeting in England,
the chairman, addressing young man,
yet a reformed drunkard, said:
Come, William Turner, you've known
as much about the drink evil as anyone
here or anywhere; come, tell us, for l
never heard how it was that you
changed right-about face, from the
mouth of hell to the gate of hope; come,
man, out with it, maybe it'll do good"
The young man thus urged rose and
looked for a moment very confused; all
he could say was: THE little shoes
they did it." With a thick voice, as if
his heart was in his throat, he kept re-
peating this. There was a stare of per-
pIexity on every face, and at length
some thoughtless people began to tit
ter. The man, in all his embarrass-
ment, heard this sound, and rallied at
once. The light came into his eyes
with flash, he drew himself up and
looked at the audience, the choking
went from his throat.
Eyes, friends he said, in a voice that
cut its way clear as a deep-toned bell,

Down on Tobacco and Rum.

The Massachusetts Advent Christian
conference, at its last annual session,
passed the following temperance reso-
luton by a unanimous vote:
"Resolved, That we do most earnest
w deprecate the use of Intoxicating
liquors as a beverage, and the use of to-
bacco in every form, believing the same
to be inconsistent in the lives of any
protesting to be followers of the meek
and lowly Jesus, and
"Resolved, That we consider it Chris
tian's duty to do all that he can to pre-
vent the sale of intoXicatirg drinks, and
therefore urge all our people to dis
charge this important duty as those
who shall give an account to God at the
day of Judgment. And that this copfer
ence will license or ordain no man >ghl
