A PRAYER FOR RIGHT LIVING.

O God, help US to live our little life wisely,
noply. usefully to others. We shall so live
if we live in thy Son, if we die in thy Son, If
we rise again in thy Son then shall our life
be an evangel, our breath shall be gospel
amongst men. Ii any have heavy burdens
to carry, give strength that they may be
borne bravely if any have to turn aside
sometimes to shed tears in darkness,
may they hear voice in the cloud
promising comfort if any are called to new
experience of adversely, who have only seen
poverty at a distance before, the Lord give
them strength if any are of aching heart,
wondering how it is with the old man, with
the gentle grayhaired mother, with the
wandering child, the Lord heal such heart
ache, the Lords balm be plentifully dis
pensed in the hour of need. The Lord
knowt tn us altogether herein is our Joy, and
herein is sometimes our fear; yetwe will not
fear; tnou knowest our frame, thou remem-
berest that we are dust. The Lord be with
US in all time of suffering and of anxious
thoughtfulness, and especially be with us
when we are drinking copiously of the wine
of Joy, lest in our momentary intoxication we
forget that Jesus alone can turn our water
Into wine. Amen.

LOVE WILL BEGET LOVE.

Down into serious contemplation Of sacred
and eternal things we must go to get the
help our brothers need, down into the dark
ness of those thoughts where man comes
close to God to learn what we may teach in
the light. O, that we could understand
how deep Christ went for all the help and
teaching that He gave. o fathers, mothers,
friends, ministers, teachers, scholars,
men in all our darkness we must give
each other light. To love the truth on one
hand and our brethren on the other, to love
God and Gods children that will make our
human nature transparent so that God can
shine through it. For this one thing we are
sure of--that no man ever yet loved Christ
and loved his brother that Christ did not
find His ,wn way through him into his
brother and so help and enlighten both the
humble teacher and learner with Himself

A PRAYER FOR REST.

With the night shadows, Lord, our hearts
return to thee. We have walked through
dangers and thou hast preserved us. We
have been tempted and thou hast shown US
the way of escape. Pardon US in thy loving
kindness for the sake of Jesus Christ our
Lord that we have sinnedA against thee both
by transgression and neglect, and help us
with sincere repentance to forsake our sin.
We bring our fears and perplexities, our
doubts and cares, to leave them at thy
mercy seat. Grant US to rest this night with
quiet hearts through faith in thy abiding
care Remember all who are in need.
Quicken thy church with divine life. Have
all our dear ones in thy holy keeping, and
grant them gifts according to thy love. And
may the quiet of the evening and the sleep
of night bring strength, through Jesus
Christ our Lord. Amen.

THE DEMON OF THE HOME.

When the demon of drink enters the home
the angel of peace departs; poverty follows
in the demons wake, for drink is a spend
thrift vice. 1t Is terrible to ruin the home,
but 1t is more terrible to ruin the soul, that
spark of Gods intelligence. We despise the
thief; we shrinkin horror from the murderer.
but they are men. But the drunkard-who
will say that this unloving. unthinking, un-
reasoning thing is man? God made man
little less than the angels, but the drunkard
makes himself little less than the brute. The
demon of drink goes up to high heaven and
defes the mercy of God, for no drunkard can
enter the kingdom OF heaven. The lower
side of the drunkard's grave empties into
hell There are seventy-five thousand drunk
ards going down to their graves every year.
IT this is what drink will do, what will you
do? We cannot sit down and fold our hands.
If we have heart that loves humanity we
must do something, and there is one thing
we can do; we can abstain from the use OF
intoxicating liquors. The way to straighten
crooked stick is to bend it in the opposite
direction. If you are strong. give to your
neighbor of your strength If he is weak

RELIGIOUS READING.
THE DIVINE ARTISAN.


Perhaps you have heard of the method
strange,
Of violin makers in distant lands,
Who, by breaking and mending with skill
full hands,
Make instruments having a wider range
Than ever was possible for them, SO long
AS they were new, unshattered and strong.
Have you ever thought when the heart was
sad,
When the days seem dark and the nights
unending,
That the broken heart, by the Fathers
mending,
Was made through sorrow helper glad,
Whose service should tighten more and
more
The weary ones burdens as never before
Then take this simple lesson to heart
When sorrows crowd and you cannot sing:
To the truth of the Fathers goodness
cling
Believe that sorrow is only part
OF the wondrous plan that gives through
pain
The power to sing more glad refrain.

IMAGES OF COPS GREAT PITY.

You see the Thames as it goes sluggishly
down to the arches, carrying with it endless
impurity and corruption. You watch the
inky stream as it pours along day and night,
and you think it will pollute the world. But
you have just been down to the seashore,
and you have looked on the great deep. and
it has not left stain on the Atlantic.
No, it has been running down good
many years, and carried world OF
impurity with it, but when you go
to the Atlantic there is not speck on 1t.
AS to the ocean, it knows nothing about 1t.
1t is full of majestic music. So tho smoke
of London goes up, and has been going up
for thousand years. One would have
thought that it would have spoiled the
scenery by now, but you get a look at 1t
sometimes. There is the great blue sky
which has swallowed up the smoke and
gloom of a thousand years, and its azure
splendor is unspoiled. 1t is wonderful how
the ocean has kept its purity, and how the
sky has taken the breath of the millions
and the smoke of the furnaces, and yet it is
as pure as the day God made it. 1t is beau
tiful to think that these are only images OF
Gods great pity for the race. Our sins, they
are like the Thames, but, mind you, they
shall be swallowed up-lost in the depths OF
the sea, to be remembered against us no
more. Though our sins have been going up
to heaven through the generations-yet,
though thy sins are as crimson, they shall be
as wool, as white as snow.-Rev. w. l.. Wat
kinsOn

THE CAPTAIN WAS A rEE-rorALER.

It is lunch-time on a famous transatlantic
ssflier." a ship we'll nigh 600 feet long. with
engines of 20, 600 horse power aud 1900 voy-
ayers, writes Frances E. Willard "Here are
your table tickets" said the steward. and a
minute later / found myself seated at the
captains right hand. Tho distinction sur
prised me, for 1t was usually given to some
famous politician, noted capitalist, or So
ciety leader. A tee-totaler and temperance
reformer is the last one to be thus honored,
for the captain generally takes glass of
wine at dinner, and if he does not his guests
are likely to do so. But this time our cap
tain was strict total abstainer.. We talked
of his career. He had risen from "before the
mast until he had now been for years cap
tain of flrst-class ''ocean greyhound" and
he told me that he owed it all to his clean
habits. When he first began to rise the ship
on which he was an officer put into the port
of San Francisco, and as it was ga great
day." all the men were drinking the captain
Leading and asking him to ''celebrate." II
aid not know but it would cost me my
chance he told me, 'but could not 60
back upon my training, and said, Captain,
I never touched drop in my life, and can't
begin now" Upon this the captain clapped
him on the shoulder and said, II wish that
the same was true of me-"

BROUGHT up ON THE BOTTLE.

A Lewiston man, who was a politician in
Portland, Me-. when General Neal Dow was
Mayor OF that city, in 1854, tells OF man
abusing his wife while drunk. The Mayor
ordered that the man be brought before
him with his whisky bottle. He put the
bottle on the table in the court room and
the prisoner fixed his eyes on it and admitted
that he had drunk out of it. When the man
was sent up to the jail Mayor Dow took the
bottle along himself and requested the turn
key to place the flask just outside the cell
door, where the prisoner could see it, and II
stood there two months. He begged to have
the bottle broken or removed. Once when
the door was opened he made dash With
his foot to break it, but did not succeed.
When that man was released he hated the
sight OF whisky bottle, and never tasted
drop of liquor afterward.

THE LIGHT THAT NEVER FADES.

Many and many of these men whom we
see plodding on in their dusty ways are
travelling with visions in their souls. Nobody
knows it but themselves and God. Once,
years ago, they saw light. They knew, if
only for moment, what companionships,
what attainments, they were made for. That
light has never faded. 1t is the soul of good
things which they are doing in the world
today. 1t makes them sure when other men
think their faith is gone. 1t will be with
them till the end. until they come to all its
prophesies. Phillips Brooks.

TEMPERANCE.

THE WILL AND THE WAY.
Farewell, wild companions, past ft lilies and
joys,
Farewell, sly enchanter the bowl;
Farewell, ye deceitful and sinful decoys,
The light has just dawned on my soul.
Ye promised me pleasure, while laughter
went round,
Till ye led me to ruins dark brink,
believed, partook, I enjoyed and found
The road to misfortune was drink.
But now I'm resolved, with the succor Of
grace,
To arise, and do all that can
Aly life to reform, my steps to retrace,
And become quite temperate man.

fear no relapse, though the old habits are
strong,
If for help 1 but ferventiy pray;
I believe in the maxim too old to be wrong

A PUBLIcAN's ENTERTAINMENT FOR CHILDREN.
The following letter which appeared in the
English Alliance News, Is worth very wide
circulation, as 1t shows the advantage OF
teaching temperance songs to popular tunes:
''51r-A publican in my neighborhood
(Mike End), at Christmas thought it would
be cheaper 10 give the children of his GUS
TONERS (costermongers aid laborers) an en-
tertainment in lieu of Christmas boxes, so
engaged the services of local proprietor
OF a Punch and Judy show to give an exhi-
bition of his puppets in his large billiard
room, which was cleared out for the pur-
pose. and packed as full as it would hold OF
the youngsters At the conclusion OF the
show friend of the landlord, who had been
acting as M. G. during the evening, made a
speech to the children, in which he greatly
extolled the virtues of his friend Bung, and
told the youngsters how thankful they ought
to be that he was such q good, kind gentle
man to give them such splendid treat as
they had had that evening. When he fin
ished talking the pianist struck up the tune,
"For He's jolly Good Fellow" expecting
the Youngsters would all join in singing the
same; but the children associated with the
~eune another ditty, with which the East
Enders' youngsters are more familiar, which
is as follows:
Shut up your public houses,
Shut UP your public houses,
Shut up your public houses,
For we want none of your beer.
And they commenced to shout this with
all the strength of their young lungs. The
landlords friend in vain shouted to them
above the din to hold their noise, as that was
not the right song, saying, Shut up, you
young devils, and the children hearing the
words Shut up, thought he intended them
to shout louder and longer Especially as he
was gesticulating violently, and this they
did, and kept it up until they were uncere-
moniousy bundled into the street, the pub
lcan's M. G. calling them the most ungrate-
full little wretches he had ever seen. My
informant, who was the Snowman himself.
told me it was comical sight to see the ex-
cited state Bung's friend was in at the unex-
pected turn things had taken. Straws show
which way the wind blows, and 1t is evident
that Bands of Hope in this district are
teaching the children that beer Is not the
necessity of life it was once supposed to be,
but harmful. W. BONNER"
