Text Forgive, and ye shall be forgiven u
Luke 6:37.
Peter had asked tho Lord, "How often
shnll my brother sin against me- and for
| give? i'll seven timesp' and Jesus answered
II say not unto thee until seven times:
but, until seventy times scvun." And
then He told him that the Kingdom of
Heaven Is like certain king which would
take account of his servants, and one OF
them owed him more than fifteen million
dollars, which he could not pay. And ho
king commanded him to be sold, with his
wife and children, and all that he had, and
payment to be made. And when this
servant asked for time to pay, tho king
had compassion on him, and forgave him
the debt.
But this servant found ono of his fellow
servants who owed him less than fifteen
dollars, and he demanded paymen6. And
when his fellow servant asked for time to
pay, he would not wait, but put him in
prison. And the other servants told the
king who was very angry with his servant
whose great debt he had forgiven, and he
delivered him to the tormentors, till he
should pay all that was due unto him.
And Jesus said $50 likewise shall My
Heavenly Father do also unto you if yo
from your hearts forgive not every one
his brother their trespasses."
Some one has suggested that complaint
of others, debt to us, be made to our King;
telling Him of their faults, and adding
those Bible words, Search me, o God,
and know my heart tty mo, and know
my thoughts; and sec if there be any
wicked way in me, and lead mo in the way
everlasting"
1t is said that foreiving apd forgiven
spirit Will be the result.

Haste to the Rescue.

From the camps OF soldiers at different
points information comes of runs mis-
chievous work among our brave boys. On
every side they are exposed to the sna,.es
of runs agents, and not few have already
fallen victims. Let US haste to the rescue.
What is done must be done quickly. The
friends Of temperance knowing as they do
the value OF temperance. the arts of the
temrter, the availability OF means to save,
should put forth every effort and not leave
this large body Of brave men to perish.
Government should be appealed to to sup
press by its strong arm the nlurderous
the CAMPS. Again and again eyen IN Ia roe
cities, this was done during the Civil War.
The people have an interest I'M this matter
and have right to speak. Let money be
raised and men be sent through the camps
to warn and admonish. to encourage and
cheer, and see that temperance tracts and
temperance papers are cifculated.-Tem

More Brain and Less Whisky.

Far be 1t from the descendant OF long
line Of seamen to be willing hereto.
Nevertheless, we protest against those pa
gan notions derived from the devotees of
Bacchus and believers In Neptune, which
still rule deck and yard. When men really
believed In the muddy god of the trident,
1t was appropriate that, as the ship first
touched water, bottle of wine should be
offered in propitiation Of Neptune. Our
highly specialized commanders need not
less, but more brain, and whisky is brain
thief. Those who, per allan, pour whisky
over the bow from a broken bottle are
very likely to make funnel of their
throats. What has come Of such proceed
ure is known to readers of naval records.
Are sailors in more danger from strong
drink than soldiers? We do not affirm this.
We do but believe that some Of the most
awful disasters that have overtaken the
arms OF the United States, both on land
and sea, have come from alcohol in the
stomach and on the brain. Who does not
recall our "Oneida" and the British "Vic-
toria," both OF which went down like
flash? Perhaps alcohol had nothing to do
with either disaster. Some think 1t had.
1t can be shown that the decline of Dutch
sea power ran parallel with the increase of
the use of strong drink.
1t is matter of prosaic fact that the
abolition of the grog ration in the British
service marked tremendous advance In
the health, morals and strength of the en-
tire service. Rev. DR.. Griffith in Indepen-
dent.

An Arab Legend.
The Arabs have a fable from which we
may learn helpful lesson.
Once upon time miller. shortly after
he had lain down for an afternoon nap, was
startled by camels nose being thrust in
at the door OF the house.
at is very cold outside" said the camel;
II only wish to get my nose i'm
The miller was an easy kind OF q man,
and 30 the nose was let in.
"The wind is very sharp" sighed the
camel; "pray allow me to put my neck in
This request was also allowed and the
neck was also thrust in.
"How fast the rain begins to fall! I shall
get wet through. Will you let me place my
shoulders under cover?"
This, too, was granted; and so the camel
asked for a little, and little more, until he
had pushed his whole body inside the
house.
The miller soon began to be put to much
trouble by the rude companion he had got
in his room, which was not large enough
for both, and as the rain was over, civilly
asked him to depart
If you don't like it you may leave" sauc--
lily replied the beast. "As for myself, I
know when 1 am we'll off, and shall stay
where am"
This is a very good story; we hope the
Arabs are all the wiser and better for it;
but let US also try to turn 1t to good ac-
count.
There is camel knocking at the heart
of us all, young and old, seeking to be let
in; its name is Sin. 1t comes silently and
craftily, and knocks: LET me in;' only a
very small part at first. So in comes the
nose; and 1t Is not long before. little by lit
tie, 1t gains entire possession. Once in
possession, the master soon becomes the
tyrant. Thus 1t is that bad thoughts enter
the heart; then bad wishes arise; then
wrong deeds; until evil habits rule. SIT is
the first step that leads astray;" If the first
step is not taken, the second will never be
known.
1t is the first glass that is the first step
in the path of drunkenness.

A Fatality Avoided

From the Democrat. Goshen, Ind.
When neuralgia is accompanied by dull.
heavy pain near the heart, frequently be-
coming intense, it generally terminates
fatally. Mrs. Nancy Flynn, who lives near
Goshen, Indiana, survived such an attack
and her advice is worth needing.
"In the fall OF '92," she said, "I began
to have trouble with my heart. There was
sharp pain in my breast which became
rapidly worse. The doctor was puzzled
and put me under the influence Of opiates.
These sharp attacks followed one another
at intervals and became weak and had a
haggard look. I was constantly in pain,
seldom slept and had no appetite.

to nv couch most of the time and the doc
tors agreed that my death was only mat
