A Temperance Story.

Deacon johnson is great tempe
rance man, and sets good example Of
total abstinence as far as he is seen.
Not long ago he employed q carpenter
to make some alterations in his parlor,
and in repairing the corner near the
fireplace, it was found necessary to
remove the wainscoting, when 10 a
discovery was made that astonished
everybody. A brace Of decaaters. a
tumbler, and a pitcher were cozily
reposing there, as if they had stood
there from the beginning. The dea-
con was summoned, and as he beheld
the blushing bottle he exclaimed:
"Wal, I declare, that's curious,
sure enough. It must be that old
Baines left them there when he went
out of this ere house thirty years
ago."
Perhaps he did, returned the
carpenter; "but. deacon, the ice in the
pitcher must have been frize mighty
hard to stay so till this time.

proud OF my skill in using them. On9
day was aiming at bird that was
singing on the garden fence when my
father called me and said: Don Z
shoot-don t shoot that bird, my son.
He came to me and in tender words
told how he had found that catbird S
nest in tree at the corner of the
garden and there were young birds in
it. and he said: ri think that this
very bird is their mother and she feeds
them all through the day and sings
because she is so happy. If you
should kill her what will become Of
her little ones? Who will feed them
when their mother is dead?' [ have
never forgotten that lesson he taught
me. When I read Of Mrs. Clark
Howells sad and sudden death my
first thought was, who will feed the
young birds now, for no one can
nestle them like mother. How lost
and helpless are little children when
their mother dies. What Christian
faith must we have to be reconciled to
the will of God and to trust them to
His watchful care. But the promises
are multiplied over and over. Our
Heavenly Father is the God Of the
widow and the orphan. Even with
those promises, the death Of young
mother is the saddest thing in this
troubled world-and only providence
can give consolation for it, His tender
care of orphan children is the strong
est proof Of His love to man. For
sixty-three years George Muller trust
ed Him to provide for the orphans in
his asylum in London. He began
with twenty and died with 2,1O0 under
his care. AS their numbers increased
his means increased and his buildings
were enlarged and his accommodations
improved and every want supplied,
and yet he never had ain endowment
nor an annuity, nor did he ever know
to-day what money he would have
next week. The money came gene
rally from unexpected sources and in
varied sums, from shilling to $500.
He says in his diary II never had too
much nor did I ever have too little,
nor did 1 ever feel the slightest appre-
hension that God would fail me. The
orphans were His and / was but His
agent and my text in my prayers was
open thy mouth wide and | will fill
it," When Muller died, a few years
ago at the great age Of ninety-three,
the orphanage was costing near $780,
900 annually for its maintenance, and
the money kept coming in. He never
sent out Circular and never asked a
man or woman for a dollar. He
went to God. That orphanage proves
two things-that God cares for the
orphans and that He answers prayers.
VIM. T. Stead Of The Peview Of
Reviews has written most interes-
ting characte- sketch Of Muller in the
May number. If any one is skeptical
or unsettled upon this question Of
prayer let him read it. Our own DR..
Jacobs, who founded the Clinton
orphanage many years ago, has had a
similar experience on an humber
scale. He never refused an orphan
for the lack of funds. The funds
increase as their numbers increase
and, like Muller, he keeps on enlarg-
ing the institution, and the money
grows witbt his wants. Providence is
behind it all. BILL ARP.
