a Slice of Human Nature.

Why is it that when one or two rich
but stingy members belong to church
all the rest are prone TO measure Their
obligations by the standard set by their
richer brethren: And why is it that
when poor washerwoman, for instance,
sets the example of sacrificing until it
hurts and pinches, her more favored
brethren donot think of making her
giving the standard by which to meas
ure their obligations? The only answer
we can give is that nature in most cases
Is still stronger than grace. To be lib
eral toward oneself is the first lesson
we have learned, to be liberal toward
God is the second lesson, and to learn

CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR.


ToPIc.-" CIV can We consecrate ourselves
TO the temp ant=e and other reforms Luke
i,o-l7. international Temperance Sunday
The Scripture quoted in the refer roe
tells the story of the visit of the angel
to Zacharias, to whom he foretold the
birth Of John sle Baptist, who was to be
great in the sight of the Lord ard
drink neither wine nor strong drink,
but to be filled with the Holy Ghost.
John was total abstainer He was also
great reformer and may appropriately
Introduce us to the study of temperance
reform.
That there is need of conservation to
temperance and other reforms is appar-
ent to all The indifference Of Chris
tian people to the one power that is de-
stroying more human beings both for
time and for eternity is appalling
When we know that millions of dollars
are spent annually, thousands Of homes
are ruined, thousands of persons go
down to drunkards' graves; that the
souls of men are lost and their bodies
brutaliZed ana wives are murdered and
childsen starved. all because Of the curse
of drink. it would seem that the whole
church would be in arms against it. Yet
it is not The Christian world Largely
sleeps while the temporal lives of nil
lions are ruined and their souls damned
for eternity.
What can we do in this great reform:
First. Practice temperance Every
Christian Endeavore' should be total
abstainer Our influence will be against
temperance unless we practice it
Second Educate public opinion
against intemperance. When the people
want intemperance and the saloon to
90, they will go. They will not go be-
fore 1t is not so much the laws that
need to be reformed as the people. Re
form the laws and not the people and
laws become dead letter. Reform the
people, and they will demand that the
laws be reformed and enforced. The
temperance campaign must be a cam
paign of education, and not campaign
Of strifes, CONVENTIONS and disputations
among those who are arrayed against

opportunity the Christian Endeavor or
ganization has for educating the youth
of the world upon this subjeetl Let Us
teach young and old that drink is I'M
necessary, that it is not beneficial to
body. mind or soul and that it is disas-
trous and ruinoEs both for time and
eternity.
Third Hold up Christ and the cross

AN .ANECDOTE OF LINCOLN.
He Measured Height with Miner In
n Pennsylvania Town.

In st. Nicholas, Mary Lillian Herr re-
lstes the following characterize ic snecdote
OF Lincoln: "Once while on his Way to
Washington as President, the train
stopped a little time in the town OF AL
legheny, Pennsylvania. Around the
station great crowd gathered, eager to
see the new President. They shouted
and cheered until Lincoln had to appear
on the rear platform OF his car. He
bowed and smiled; but the crowd Was 80
noisy he did not try to speak TO them.
Very near TO the platform stood a
miner. wearing a red shirt and blue over
ais, and carrying a dinner pail. Like the
rest he had stopped hoping to see Mr.
Lincoln. The workman WAS almost
giant in size, and lowered head and
shoulders above the crowd.
mo doubt he had heard that Lincoln
also WAS very tall; aud, encouraged by
the friendly face, the workman suddenly
waved his bare arm above his head, and
called out:
"'Hi, there, Abe Lincoln!-l'm taller
than you-yes, a sight taller!
This loud speech siienced the crowd
by its boidness, and a laugh arose. Bat
Mr.. Lincoln, leaning forward with a
good humored smile, said gently:
"'My man, doubt it; in fact, I'm sure
/ am the taller. However, come up, and
let's measure
THE crowd made way; the workman
climbe to the platform, and st God back to
back with the President elect Each put
upa hand to see whose head overtopped.
Evidently Mr.. Lincoln was the victor:
for with a smile of satisfaction, he turned
and offered his hand to his beaten rival,
saying cordially:
al thought you were mistaken and l
was right; but | wished to be sure and
to have you satisfied. However, we are
friends anyway, aren't WEI
"Grasping the outstretched hand in
vigorous grip, the workman replied;
