Prayer for Increase of Faith.

Lord, increase our faith and make it the
supreme fact in our life; raise us above ali
doubt and fear and cause us so to trust in
thee through him who is the Living One
and the Giver of Life as to be Independent
of all that is without. Root US and ground
us in thy love; may thy word dwell in us
richly, an answer to every temptation, a
.solace to every sorrow, an inspiration to
every good deed and work. We live by
sight too much; we are victims of our own
senses, and we are led away by our own
foolish sagacity. 0 that we might live
henceforth in Christ only, abiding in him
as the branches in the vine-then should we
bring forth much fruit and our father would
be glorified. Give us such views life as Jesus
takes from his cross and from his throne;
save US from all the fallacy of appearances,
and deliver us from the deceit OF our own
senses. Take down the veil which eparates
our soul from the inmost and essential
beauty, and may we see things as they are,
and rest patiently in the Lord. Our prayer
is in the name Of him who is himself the
pledge that all good things shall be freely
given unto us. Amen.

ever, and set about learning to ride.
Leading his rubber-tired steed to the

,rutches and, with side motion made
easy by the absence of his leg, slipped
into the saddle. Fastening his crutch
in spring catch on the side where his
legs ought to be and putting his arti-
fetal foot on the pedal, he was off.
He soon mastered the art of balancing

No Journey without obstacles.

There is not a single person who reads
these lines who has not had some bitter
cups pressed to their lips. No journey to
the heavenly Canaan is trodden without
some Marahs on the road The power and
the glory of Christ's grace is ins sweetening
the draught I have often sat down beside
a child of God who had in her hand bitter
cup of trial, but the sweet breath of Jesus
has turned the bitterness into such bless
ing that she tastes the love of Jesus in ev-
cry drop. Grand old Richard Baxter, after
a life of constant suffering, exclaimed, 80
my God thank Thee for a bodily disci-
pline of eight and fifty years." That no.
BILE and consecrated layman, Harlan Page
of New York, during his last illness uttered
these triumphant words: "A bed of pain

necessary af1iction. Lord, 1 thank Thee for
suffering. I deserve it; let me not COM
plain or dictate. I commit myself to Thee,
o Saviour, and to Thy infinite love! 1 stop
my mouth and lie low beside Thee" So did
victorious grace build up that blood-re-
deemed soul faster than disease was pulling
down the frai tenement in which it dwelt
And through the rents which coming death
was making, heavens glory shone in with
"a rapturous radiance. These were splendid

Live More Simply.

ga simpler mode oflife is the crying need
of the present day. Men and women are
wearing themselves out with elaborate and
unnecessary formalities and are the slaves
of foolish customs from which they get no
real enjoyment" We hear talk like this
on all sides, but of what use is the talk
unless it is followed by action? We are all
agreed that we ought to live more simply,
bpf we are all afraid to make any change
ourselves We do this and have that, not
because we wish but because other peo
pie expect it of US, until it seems as though
we were ordering our households wholly in
accordance with the views of others, and
very likely of those who really care moth
ing for us. Why not have the courage OF
our convictions and live in the way which
will yield the best results? Is it simply
because we are afraid of being thought
peculiar, or do we, after all, really love the
cords that bind US? 1t is always difficult to
know how far we may break away from
established customs withou. injuring our
influence, but, until we are ready to make
some change, it is hardly worth while to
talk.

Use and Abuse of Alcohol.

g. E. Pellew, of Columbia University,
gave lecture on "Alcohol and Alcoholic
Beverages in the Museum Of Natural His
tory, New York City, recently. He dis
of Alcohol" He first talked about the the
ory that alcohol is food, and admitted
that it Is such when taken in quantities
below certain limit, beyond which it be-
comes a poison.
The notion that alcohol produces warmth,
he declared, is utterly wrong. This was
discovered first in Arctic explorations. For
fifty years the explorers have left the In
grediert behind entirely, and have also left
behind those addicted to its use. It drives
the blood to the surface, and while it thus
diffuses warmth through the skin and
makes one comfortable for a short time,
the blood has left the vitals, and pretty
soon the temperature OF the body is two des
grees below the normal. sses''s--- ..-s''.ss
''If you wish to endure the cold" he said.
"take something to keep the blood inside.
Food will do this. So will coffee"
In describing the effect of whisky on the
brain DR.. Pellew said:
"The blood is driven through the brain
more rapidly and produces exhilaration.
That's why men use it. If they would stop
when the point of simple exhilaration is
reached, 1t would not be so bad, but when
too much Is taken 1t becomes a poison. The
quantity which may be described as too
mucn diners with lnd1v1dualS, ana must De
determined each one for himself. But the
dividing line between alcohol safe and
alcohol poisonous for every one is the point
where exhi.aration is succeeded by slug
gishness. 1t differs IN individuals in races.
and In the same persons under different
circumstances"
H places great stress upon the fact that
alcohol becomes poison very quickly.
s'It Is the most destructive of all poisons,'
he declared. "It destroys ones life, intel.
lect, character, and the happiness of others
Coffee and tobacco destroy only those wha
use them. Alcohol emphasizes mans weak.
nesses. If he has taint of the brutal In
him, his brutal disposition is aggravated
by its use. If he has passions Of any kind
they are aroused by its overuse.

son. The Chinaman got it right when he
said, If me dlink lum me go home and kick
wife; If me eat opium me go home and wife

Beer in the Navy.

Beer scored another great victory on
board the famous United States warship,
the Indiana, last Wednesday evening.
While the officers of the ship were distribu-
ting the regular daily rations Of beer, sea-
man who was already drunk became en-
ragged and plunged his bayonet into the
back Of an officer, killing him instantly.
At 6.10 p. m. it is the custom on board the
warship Indiana for a signal to be given
when the ships crew slime up on the for
ward deck and supply of government
liquors is distributed among them. During
the afternoon Of the fatal day, Philip Car
ter, a seaman, was off on a leave of absence
for few hours-long enough to get beastly
drunk. He was, however, back promptly
at 'sbeer'' time, ready for fresh supply Of
government liquor. There was drunken
wrangle over the amount which he was to
receive. Thomas A. Kenny, the master-at-
arms of the ship, who also seems to have
been the ships bartender, refused to give
him his usual supply.
There was disturbance over the matter,
and half-hour later the drunken Carter
slipt up behind Officer Kenny and plunged
bayonet into his back up to the hilt
Kenny died instantly, and Carter was placed
in irons-all the result of drunken row
over rations of beer supplied by the gov
ernment.-The Voice.

JOY Tempered by Jesus Spirit.

Sunshine has its uses in making our re-
ligion what it should be-a thing Of bright
ness. There is danger Of making it too
cold and gloomy. God did not intend it to
be thus. 1t is difficult matter, at any rate,
to iuduce men to accept religion; and if
they are left under their impression that,
when they unite with the church, they are
going into the sunless and gloomy region of
an arctic land, it will make it all the mole
difficult to induce them to choose the better
part. Let Joy, brightness, geniality, tenn
pered by the spirit of Jesus, characterize
our religion; and these persons will lay
hold Of it with earnestness. Let us make
use of sunshine everywhere. Do cares
come, let US go at them with sunshiny
hearts; they will soon melt away under its
power. If Affections come, nothing will so
brighten the sick-bed as sunshine. Is the
home darkened by the shadow of death,
sunshine will tighten it, and show us the
golden stairway up which our departed
have gone. Sunshine. sunshine every
wherein the world, in the home, in the
church. There is JOY and brightness IN
heaven; why should it be wanting here?-

A TEMPERANCE COLUMN.
THE DRINK EVIL MADE MANIFEST
IN MANY WAYS.

A B1essing-A Columbia University Pro-
fessor Upon the Use and Abuse of AIco-
hol-He Asserts That Alcohol Is the
Most Destructive of all Poisons.
Soft peace and comfort here below,
Meek temperance ever can bestow;
She keeps the passions in control,
Dffusing quiet through the soul.
Temd'rate our wishes and desires,
We thus escape the scorching fires
That wild ambitions votaries share,
Their sleepless nights, and days of care.
Temp'rate in pleasure, then we greet
With greater zeal the welcome treat;
Temp'rate in sorrow and in Joy,
Temp'rate when trifes would annoy.
Temp'raue in temper and in tongue,
Serenely we might pass along;
Not pushed and jpstled on the way,
When adverse passions seek for sway,
Template in food, that source of health,
OF cheerful mind, of ease and wealth;
Escaping thus each painful throe
The glntton and the drunkard knox.
Temp'rate in sleep, the morning air
Can we'll the waste of life repair;
Temp rate in labor as in rest,
A fair division suits US best.
Temp'rate in study, the poor brain
Too much of knowledge can't contain;
But, like the bubble, it will break,
When high-fown regions we would seek.
We find, when all things we compare
That we our own tormentors are;
And tranquil might we here abide,
II temperance walked but at our side.

Bicyclists with but one leg are be-

bicyclist is indeed a novelty. Such
one is James Jump, the son of the
Rev. Albert Jump, of Independence,
Kan. Twelve years ago the boy lost
both of his legs in railway accident.
One of his legs was cut off close to the
thigh and the other only little lower
down. On the stump OF the latter he
was able to fasten an artificial leg. Re-
Gently Mr.. Jump became seized with a
desire to ride bicycle. He had wit

cyclists, but he was in doubt about the

were set down again, the wine untouched,
