KIOndike uts.

Next to bread Klondike cook strives
to achieve distinction by his dough-
nuts. This may appear frivolous at
first glance and at second, considering
the materials with which he works, an
impossible feat. But doughnuts are
all important to the man who goes on
trail for journey of any length. Bread
freezes easily, and there is less grease
and sugar and hence less heat in it
than in doughnuts. The latter do not
solidify except at extremely low tenn
peratures, and they are very handy to
carry in the pockets of a Mackinaw
jacket and MUNICH as one travels along.
They are made much after the manner
of their brethren in warmer chimes,
with the exception that they are cook
ed in bacon grease. The more grease
the better they are. Sugar is the
cooks chief stumbling block. If it is
very scarce, why, add more grease.
The men never mind on trail. In the
cabin-well, that's another matter. Be
sides, bread is good enough for them

was shot and Shott was not. In this
case it is better to be Shott than Mott.
There was n rumor that Mott was not
shot, but Shott avows that he was not,
which proves either that the shot Shott
shot at Mott was not shot or that Mott
was shot Notwithstanding.
l may be made to appear on trial
that the shot Shott shot shot Mott or, as
accidents with firearms are frequent, it
may be possible that the shot Shot
shot shot Shott himself, when the
whole affair would resolve itself into
its original element, and Shot would
be shot and Mott would be not.

Shot shot shot, not Shott, but Mott.

that is, in the colder climates-are dew
astated by alcoholism. They take the
fire to keep up the warmth In south
ern countries, like Arabia and Spain,
the blood is so warm they are not
tempted to fiery liquids. The great

stronger than water tinged with vine
gar. but under cur northern climate the
temptation to heating stimulants is
most mighty, and millions succumb.
When mans habits go wrong, the

we all drop him. Of all the men who

Near my summer residence there is a
life saving station on the beach. There
are all the ropes and rockets, the boats,
the machinery, for getting people off
shipwrecks. One summer 1 saw there
Is or 20 men who were breakfasting
after having just escaped with their
lives and nothing more. Up and down
our coasts are built these useful struc-
lures, and the mariners know it, and
they feel that if they are driven into
the breakers there will be apt from
shore to come a rescue. The churches
of God ought to be so many life saving
stations, not so much to help those who
are in smooth waters, but those who
have been shipWrecked Come, let us
run out the lifeboats! And who will
man them? We do not preach enough
to such men. We have not enough
faith in their release. Alas, if when
they come to hear us we are laborious-
~ trying to show the difference be-
tween sublapsarianism and supralap-
sarianism, while they have a hundred
vipers of remorse and despair coiling
around and biting their immortal spir-
its. The church is not chiefly for good
ish sort of men, whose proclivities are
all right and who could get to heaven
praying and singing in their own
homes. 1t is on the beach to help the
drowning. Those bad cases are the
cases that God likes to take hold of.
He can save q big sinner as well as
small sinner, and when a man calls
earnestly to God for help he will go out
to deliver such one. If it were neces-
sary, God would come down from the
sky, followed by all the artillery of
heaven and a million angels with
drawn swords. Get 100 such redeemed
men in your churches, and nothing
could stand before them, for such men
are generally warm hearted and enthu-
siastic. No formal prayers then. No
heartless singing then. No cold con-
ventionalisms then.

the majority in most of our cities
When they grow up, if unreformed
they will outvote your children, and
they will govern your children. The
whisky ring will hatch out other whis-
ky rings, and grog shops will kill with
their horrid stencil public sobriety I'M
less the church of God rises up with
outstretched arms and ihfolds this dy-
ing population in her bosom. Public
schools cannot do it. Art galleries can
not do it. Blackwell's island cannot
do it. Almshouses cannot do it. Jails
cannot do it. Church of God, wake up
to your magnificent mission! You can
do it. Get somewhere, somehow to
work.
The Prussian cavalry mount by put
ting their right foot into the stirrup,
while the American cavalry mount by
putting their left foot into the stirrup.
do not care how you mount your war
charger if you only get into this battle
for God and get there soon, right stir
rup or left stirrup or no stirrup at all.
Inc unOccuploQ 0elOS are all around

err mans foundation? l have heard of
what was called the "thundering le-
gion." 1t was in 10 a part of the Ro-
man army to which some Christians
belonged, and their prayers, it was
said, were answered by thunder and
lightning and hail and tempest, which
overthrow an invading army and saw
ed the empire. And l would to God
that our churches might be so mighty
in prayer and work that they would
become a laundering legion before
which the forces of sin might be rout-
ed and the gates of hell might tremble.
