after coming back to America from one OF
mis- great London successes. The family

As they used to do years before.
Most OF tbs family were going to drive to

"Io Love and Serve Thee"

We trust our Heavenly Father to provide
Tor Us. not merely in things material, but
most OF all in the guiding OF our lives. in the
shaping Of our aspirations, in the fulhllment
ot our hopes, in the return of our sympathy
and love. because. however imperfect our
acquaintance with him may be. we know
hat he car be trusted to do Just these things.
Tor rs. 1; is The testimony or common sense
hat God 3 providence is over us and can be
depended upon. 1t is that OF duty that we
rust 1t. 1t is source of blessing to look
forward into the future with the Serenity
which is based upon mpanionship with
:bs Almighty and upon the sense OF His
over-rulng Gaze. Nothing can divide US
from Hin. nothing can cool His love for us.
aothing can veil the freshness of the rela-
lion between us which the past has de-
veloped. Whether it be in the details Of
outward life, our comings and goings, our
ouyings and settings, or in our nober and
higher aspirations and hopes, over one and
Ill and in one and all the providence OF God
superintends and controls. In the beautt-
tul words OF George Herbert
Lord, it belongs not to my care
Whether die or live.

Thirst for Righteousness.

'We hope, we aspire, we resolve, we trust,
When the morning calls US to life and
light; .. ..' -.
But our hearts grow weary, and ere the
night q"
Our lives are trailing the sordid dust"
The chief difficulty with Christian life is
not with that portion which comes under the
observation OF the world. There are only
few hours OF the twenty-four each day that
the most Of US are under the scrutiny of the
world. much larger segment Is Under the
observation Of our families; but every, hour.
every moment, is under Gods observation.
After one fixes his eyes on Jesus, lie finds
little satisfaction in himself. He sees in
Him such wealth Of goodness, that hia
best attachments seem poor enough. Whether
he actually succeed for single day In doing
bis best God must judge. '"I judge not
mine own SELF" But one does know some
thing Of the Joy there Is in aiming at the
best, in striving to do the best, "in loving
mud serving the highest and best" The
poet sings, "Who does his best, acts we'll,
does nobly; angels conld do no more" Ia
not this more consoling thought that he
who attempts the best his circumstances
allow. does well, acts nobly? Whether an
gels do better one knows not; but this one
knows-apostles did no better, for Paul mod

ping-post put in the back yard OF every
police court OF New York City and there
have the wife-beaters and men who are
.ruel to their ia miles publicly or privately
logged. I believe that no man who has
felt the humiliation OF being stripped TO
the waist and given the lash will ever do
anything that will bring him to the whip

There is something radically wrong with
tue law as it stands aud We are obliged to

Ing and extrsme cruelty to familieSS1h this
,lty Is um long the poorest class OF people.
Under the present statutes there Is no pun
ishment prescribed which does not punish
the cruel drunkard's wife aud family more
than 1t does him..
The wife Is usually the complainant. In
nine cases out OF ten she soon repentS un-
Ter her enforced suffering and Is back In
court within week either to withdraw
The complaint or with the necessary bail.
It often happens that she brings with her
1s boudsmau the saloon-keepsr who sold
her husband the liquor which aroused in
bln the wile-beatlng frenzy.
After getting his liberty the man may
possibly behave himself for two or three
weeks, but his fendish nature Is almost

'ull term OF six months. Within a week or
two she will be back practically begging to

month out. 1t is a running farce without
any RELIEF whatever to the family. I al.
ways ask these women In court: :
(which would you rather do, have your
husbands abuse with his support, or let
him stny on the island, while you struggle
along without his abuse and without his

Liquor Is at the bottom Of it all. Liquor
Is the greatest curse OF mankind. Every
il-used wife says that her husband is all
right, Is kind TO his children, brings his
money home, ETC., until he begins to drink
then all Is changed.
There are seven police courts In the

A ouaker,s Temperance Lecture.

Several persons, among them a Quaker
Here crossing the Allegheny Mountains in
/ stage. y ...
A lively discussion arose on the subject
II temperance and the liquor business, and
:hose engaged In it were handled without
gloves.
One of the company remained silent.
After enduring it as long as he could, he
said:
Gentlemen, I want you to understand
:hat am . liquor dealer. keep a public
louse Of -; but would have you to
know that have license, aud keep de-
cent house. ~. .....,....r,
II don't keep loafers and loungers about
my place, and when a man has enough be
IAN get no more ut my bar.
II sell to decent people, and do re.
spectacle business"
He thought he had put a quietus on the
subject, and that no answer could be given.
Not so. The Quaker said:
:'Friend, ,,that'is the most damnable part
III thy business. II thee would sell to
l5uukards and loafers, thee would help to
shl of the race, and society would be rid
3rthem., -.
".But:thee takes the young, the poor, the
innocent and the uususpectlpg, making
irunkards and loafsrs OF them.

all gone, thee kicks them out, and turns
hem over to other shops to finish of; and

The RaaI Ruddcr Of Life.

What is the reason that one does not dis
.ern the full glory of the present life? 1t is
precisely, as God said to Moses that day,
because a man cannot look straight into
Gods face and live. Sometimes one wishes
that a boy could see life as an older man
sees it. But in reality that would be no bless
ing to the boy. 1t would simply make him
morbid, anxious. tlmd, prematurey old, in
stead OF fearless, ,natura, ,healthy-minded,a
oe ought to be. -. It is ratura! and
and Gods hand is before the face OF many
/, Young man. not because God grudges him
The vision. but because he is not ready for 1t.
And that brings US to the real prob
lem Of human life. 1t is not-as 80 many
people seem to think-an explanation OF
experience: it is. on the contrary, an educa-
ton through experience. God does not e4-
oect people never to make mistakes and
never stumble in the dark He expects them
only to be taught by their mistakes and to
stumble on through the dark until In His
,wn time He shows them His glory.

No one can be IL drunkard without know
Ing that be is doing wrong. But the eXces-
i've love of money, OF power, of public
praise, often fail to impress Us with their
quilt. and the need OF penitence and reform
Is much more difficult 10 be realized. It
,osts sharp twinge of ones whole being
to acknowledge that one has been wrong all
one's life, and that, however fair and bcauti-
iuI the structure OF character, 1t needs to be
rebuilt from the foundation. Religious con-
version involves no intellectual perpleIity
or complication. 1t Is perfectly simple. Il
means the surrender Of every other aim and

love God and do his will no matter what our
circumstances 1t Is the substitution OF
This dominant purpose in place of any and
