The Philosophy of Temperance.

There is much wisdom to be gathered
from the outcome of this same temper ance
movement, says the New World of Chicago.
1t is this: Public wrong sentiment can be
changed to public right sentiment. An
evil, though it may be threatening and all
stant and heroic effort. 1t takes Il long
time, whole generation, sometimes two,
possibly into the third. Agitation against
natural vices produces little impression on
the first generation. Their diSfavor is
clearly shown. 1t breaks out in taunts,
ridicule and invective. After some years
of fighting. the taunts, ridicule, and inyec-
tive are sileneed, and that is a great ad-
vance, the first telling victory. The worst
ed will not surrender; they think too much
of their ''individual liberty to capitulate.
But here the workers of reform can take a
most decided stand against the young, in
coming generation. They will listen, argue,
weigh and finally consider. In them is
wanting the prejudice Of their forefathers.
They can be talked to about blessings, re-
suits, consequences. And though many,
possibly more than half OF the whole, may
be irreformable. still the showing will be
good. Another stand is taken against the
third incoming generation, and it is here
that the Fighters for the right may hope
to gain decisive victory.
People may and do say: ''It will do no
good" where is the use?' the end Twill
never be reached" etc. 1t will do good, it
Is of use, the end will be reached. 1t may
take t~AAty, thirty, forty years, but the
criticism OF the first generation can be si-
fenced; the attention of the second secured
and the surrender of the third guaranteed.
The most pessimistic can rely upon that
much gain though in many cases the gain
Is much greater.

A Great Deceiyer.

Rev. DR.. Theodore L. Cuyler, the veteran
writer, who says he has still the heart OF
boy, though his hair is gray and his years
are many and who has written many wise
word for our girls and boys, speaks as fol-
lows OF q great deceiver:
Many of the famous advocates of tenn
perance are dying off, but there is one
mpet-tongued orator who continues to
sound his tocsin in every house that con-
tains Bible. 1t is the divinely inspired
preacher who utters this tremendous warn
ing: Look not on the wine when it is ruddy,
when it giveth color In the cup, when 1t
goeth down smoothly; for at the last, is
biteth like serpent and stingeth Ike an
adder.
1.-The serpent quality of all intoxicants
lies in their deceptiveness. Wine is
mocker, whosoever is deceived thereby is
not wise.' The drinker fancies that his
glass is doing him good and promoting his
health. Instead of adding to his strength
1t excites him for time, and the reaction
leaves him the weaker. Thousands Of peo-
pie call for liquor at the restaurants, or set
them ON their tables to promote digestion;
and have known persons to cling to this
fallacy after alcohol had poisoned their
stomachs. The heroic DR.. Livingston, of
Africa-a physician himself-asserted that
he could stand any and every hardship
best by using water and water only had
a conversation with Nansen and thanked
him for his published testimony that dur
Ing his exploration Of Greenland. he found
alcohol OF no benefit to himself or his men.
Another deceptive quality in intoxi-
cants is that they steal march on those
who use them, and an appetite is formed
before one suspects it. The reason is that
every glass of liquor increases the desire
Tor another glass. A tumbler of water or
milk satisfies thirst; a glass of liquor in
creases thirst. A young man said to a
friend OF mine: This awful drink has used
up my money, ruined my health, and al
most killed my parents. 1t will soon kill
me. l know it, and yet the habit is SO
not stop; yet when he began to sip his wine
he never dreamed that he would die
wretched sot. OF all the deceivers that be-
tray body and soul, none is so alluring and
enslaving as the glass;

The Sunshine Must Penetrate.

When the sunbeams fall upon mirror. il
flashes in the light, because they do moi
enter its cold surface. 1t is IL mirror, be.
cause it does not drink them up, but fling
them back. The contrary is the case with
the sentient mirrors of our spirits. In them
the light must first sink in before it can ray
out. They must be filled with the glory be-
fore the glory can stream forth. They are
not so much like a rejecting surface AS like
a bar of iron which needs to be heated
right down to its obstinat black core
before it's outer skin glow with the
whfteness of heat that is too hot te
sparkle. The sunshine must fall on us, not
as it does on some lonely hillside. lighting
up the gray stones with passing CLEAN
that changes nothing and fades away. leaving
the solitude to its sadness ; but as it does or
some cloud Graded near its setting, which
it drenches and saturates with fire till its
cold heart burns and all its wreaths of vapoi
are brightness palpable .glorified by the light
which lives amidst its mists. SO must we
have the glory sink into us before it can be
reflected from us.-Alexander Maclaren, I'D

A Cricket Thermometer.

The rate of chirp of the cricket, Pro-
fessor A. E. Dolbear notes in the
American Naturalist, seems to be en-.
tirely determined by the temperature,
and this to such degree that one may
easily compute the temperature from
the chirps per minute. Thus, at sixty
degrees Fahrenheit, the rate is eighty
per minute. At seventy degrees Fab
renheit the rate is 120, a change OF
four chirps minute for each degree
of change. Below a temperature OF
fifty degrees the cricket has no energy
to waste in music, and there would be
but forty chirps per minute.

Suffering for Man.

There is no battle won for Christ which
is not won through pain. For the Christian
there is no resurrection but through the pas.
sion, there is no glory except through death.
For he must walk in the steps OF Jesus he
must set upon him the mark of the blood
the mark of the blood upon your heart as il
is strained with pain over those you have
wept for and prayed for. and who seem to be
through their wilfulness, for time at least
if not forever, lost; the mark of the blood
in your hands and your feet, in your body
as you are weary with efforts that so Otter
seem to be in vain; the mark of the blood ir
your aching brains and brow, as you brood
over problems and think over ques-
lions and try to see how things
could be done better, and how anxious
questions could be answered and heavy
tasks faced and overcome-the blood o!
large human sympathies and ready suffer.
ing for man. This is the mark which is to
be set upon the Christian, This is the mark
which is TO stamp the brotherhood of man.
The principle of the brotherhood of man is
the cardinal Christian doctrine. The stamp
of the reality of Christianity is whether we
really believe in human brotherhood.

A Brighter Outlook.

report recently prepared by Mr.. Bate
man, the head of the commercial depart
ment of the Board of Trade of the United
Kingdom, on the production and con-
sumption of beer, wine and spirits in the
chief European countries and in the United
States, presents a condition Of affairs rela-
tive to this country which must be salts
factory indeed to all good citizens. We
learn, among other things, from this re-
port that the consumption of alcoholic
beverages in the United States is less, per
capita, than in any other country, and
that while in Europe the sale and consump-
ton OF alcoholic liquors increase at a
more rapid rate than the population. with
us the production and consumption of
spirits have been for some years decreas
ing, and the consumption of beer, having
regard to the increase of population, has
not perceptibly increased. 'If this ten
dency can be maintained" says one of our
daily contemporaries, ''as we believe it can
be. in the future, it cannot fail to exercise
a tremendous effect upon the future we'll
being of the United States, particularly in
the competitive industrial struggle that is
going on, and must in the future to much
larger degree go on, between our country
and the countries OF Europe

The Presence of the Spirit.

1t is when our Lord Is removed farthest
from US that He is brought nearest to US by
His Spirit. Our Lord lived the human ex-
ample in the world; He verified it through
the sacrifice on the cross. Then He was
lifted to the right hand of God. The
heavens cleared around the ascending form
of Jesus and closed to hide Him from ouf
eyes; but they cleared again around the de
scending Spirit, and that Spirit OF Jesus
came into the heart Of His church. into the
heart of every individual member Of His
church. that same Spirit in which Jesus
lived and suffered and died and rose. And
that Spirit is now inwardly present with us
not only an outward example, but an in
ward presence. Brethren, that is the secret
of Christianity. We look at our Lord as He
sets us the example, we watch the lineaments
of that life as it is set before US; we study it
like book, we study His habits, His ways,
His modes of thought, His modes of action:
and all this time we know that that same
Jesus. living and glorihed. is by His Spirit
working in our hearts to mold us by inward
power into conformity with that life which
He shows us outwardly. 1t is the inward
Christ the Christ in us by His Spirit who
makes possible to us Christ our example,
Christ outside US. The whole religion Of
Christianity centres upon and circles around
that iDdwelling of Jesus in the heart OF every
one of His members by His Spirit.

A Beautiful Girls Amiction.

The fuckers OF Versailles, Ind, like all
fond parents, are completely wrapped up
in their children. Their daughter Lucy, in
particular, has given them much concern.
She is fifteen, and from a strong, healthy
girl, three years ago, had become weak and
kept falling off in flesh, until she became a
mere skeleton. She seemed to have 70 life
at all. Her blood became impure and finally
she became the victim of nervous prostra-
tion. Doctors did not help her. Most of
the time she was confined to bed, was very
nervous and irritable, and seemed on the
verge of st. Vitus dance.

Signs of Spiritual Progress.

Sonship does not always mean sunshine.
No. sonship may often live in cloud. 1t
may even be under the cloud. But
by the will we can always test it. When we
can do nothing else We can always obey.
That is the test of sonship. 1t was one OF
the greatest and most pious of the saints.
Ignatius of Antioch. on his way to martyr
dom, who said. ''Only now do l begin to be
a disciple" In religion there is no failure ex-
oept in ceasing to try. So the other hand,
there is no progress except in continual fresh
beginnings. The surest sign that l am
going on religiously is that l sometimes
doubt whether really have ever begun to
be a Christian. that from time to time /
really feel that only now do | begin to see
what it means to be Christian. And if then
1 am not ashamed to begin at the beginning,
if cry out "only now do 1 begin to be a
disciple. 'it is one of the surest signs of spir-
tual progress. That is what time OF
special spiritual retirement ought always to
come to. 1t is a putting of ourselves again
at the beginning. 1t is a reconstituting our
life from its basis and beginning again.
