Mrs. Helen Gouger says by actual

drift In to such a habit. young men.
Along the jersey coast is a house built
of wrecked vessels that have been
tossed up on that wild beach. Every
saloon is making its money out of
wrecks-wrecked manhood, wrecked
homes.
Don't drift into profanity. Years
ago in Pittsburg two men we're talk
ing of Jesus Christ. One applied q
will famous epithet to Jesus Christ: hen
he uttered it he dropped as though
shot through the heart by a rifle ball.
After lying a whole day with dis'end-
ed pupils and pslsied tongue he died.
Do younotswonder some times that pro-
fame men are not struck dead. 1t Is one
of The l. rd's mercis 8 they are not con-
sum ed. l never knew a profane man
who b ad any regard for the feelings OF
others. They throw out their profanity
in barber sbops, on street corners, in
their Offices, regardless OF the shock it
gives to Christian men who have some
reverence for God and our Saviour.
You say a man may be profane and
be a good, jolly fellow. L reply that
no mae can contract habit that takes
the temper out of his honor, destroys
his fine sentiment, breeds within him
an utter disrespect for the feelings of
others, and still be as good man as he
was before. Don't drift into profanity!
Don't drift into gambling. A young
man of our city not long ago got into
gam bling, stole his employers money,
gambled again, then robbed his en-
plOyer, and now goes to the peniten-
tiary for years. What a warning for
every Ell PasO young man, For the
sake of your manhood, your success in
life, the God who will judge you, don't
gamble. Do not hug such q viper to
your bosom. Begin it anc you are on
the verge of a Whirlpool that will suck
you down into its awful tumult. In the
name of your father dead, or your
mother alive, or your sweetheart, never
lay your hand on the treacherOus
thing May be no faithful voice has
warned you. Then L warn you by ten
thousand aching hearts. the tears of
ten Thousand wives and children whose
oome, whose piano, whose parlOr Car
pet have been sold to pay the gam
bier debts. Ah,yOu see the crowd that
goes into The gam bier front door, but
perate men, that awful Friss that
comes out of the back door? Be
ashamed to get something for noLh-
ing.
1 warn you against bad company.
A young man now, in Jail Outside of our
state, has written often to me the last
three months. He said: bad CON-
pauy as brought me TO this" Evil

Young men, beware of the man VINO

Don't drift in 20 bad company. Beware

Sail l speak of impure living? ST.
