Skilled Labor for the Master.

Phillips Brooks was the chosen one to
tell Helen Keller of God. With one
soul as his parish. he did as faithful in.
tellectual and spiritual work MS when he
preached to the crowds under the great
lantern Of Trinity. His letters to that
bright soul shut up in MANNED physical
organism will be read when many Of his
great sermons are out of print. From
village and country congregations have
come great statesmen, great generals,
great preachers. who told. as Patrick
Henry did of Samuel Davies, that the
mighticSt intellectual and spiritual in
spiraton OF their lives came from the
man of God who fed both brain and
heart from the pulpit OF q small parish.
Such preachers are the tutors Of kings.
Nathan never spoke with more power
than when he turned David's thoughts
back to his 1ockS, and to just such eve
lamb as he had often borne in his bosom
when caring for those "few sheep in the
Wilderness; for there he had first
learned of God. How much OF the moral
safety Of the nation is in the keeping Of
the faithful preacher whose parish is his
world 1t was just such man as Chau.
Ger paints in impcrisable lines that
moisten many an eye with their tender
memories, as he tells Of 'his good man
of religion whom he calls the poor
Person of a town." of whom it is said,-
"ChriSt's lore, and his apostles twelve,
He taught, and first he followed it him
self"

Cure For Drunkenness.

No one can be cured Of drunkenness-ot
my kind-until he really wants to. be
.ured. His body may be pumped full OF
,ostrums, but he will remain drunkard
1t heart until he takes the will.cure, and
leases To look longingly after his sin and
zee how close he can get to it without
:alling into it again. =.
Second, keep away from temptation. Ii
5our sin came through the dance, do not
even look at dance again. If from gamb-
ing, do not touch a pack of cards even
when no stake is played for. If from
strong drink. do not even read the papers
that advertise liquors.
Third, cram your life with healthy in
terests. Hard work is one of the best spe-
.ifics against intemperance-a verltable
yold-cure.
Fourth, and finally, though first of all in
Importance, do not trust in your own
own strength. Appetite is fearful thing.
God, who made it, is the only one that can cal
master it, as any one may prove. NO
drunkard has fallen farther into beaastli-
ness than many of those who have
stretched lame hands of faith out OF
their pits. and have met the answering
hands of God. There is no depth OF sensu.
ality, of passion, of folly and despair that
His mercy can not sound. - American

IN CALICO.

THEY'VE sung the song of the girl in pink,
And the song of the girl in white,
But the singers are few who have praised
the true
Goddess of love and light;
The household fairy whom we all know,
And knowing her love her the better So
The rirl in the garment Of calico,
Dainty and sweet and bright.
The bloom of her cheeks, the light in her
eyes,,
Is her beauty and title of health;
And day after day in modest way.
Her neatness is better than wealth.
Old-fashioned? Yes. and we wish her SO,
For Just like her mother in calico.
With the gentle traits OF the years ago
She's taken our hearts by stealth.
So, in nectar of roses, pledge,
Our dear girls in pink and white.
To their eyes and their hair and their ways
debonair
offer my homage tonight;
Yes, deep in my heart feel and know,
"A loftier feeling continues to grow
For the girl in the wrapper or calico'

Christianity Its Own Proof.

Christianity is essentially life, and life
is essentially indefinable-its one proof
is itself 1t is proves that it is. So
Christianity is proved by the Christian

buried cities, in fragmentary records of
dead empires, in the cuneiforms and

neral and religious evolution. But es-
scntial life is not proved that way. No
man can afford'to wait and delay action
till he cnn settle for himself all the Qucs-
tions that are raised concerning the
Book OF Books. Life is too short and
the process too waSteful. by their

He is the miracle of spiritual life. He is

proofs of genuineness in those who call
themselves Christians. AS Jesus pointed

Better to Avoid Than Fight.

If temptation can he honorably
avoided, it is far better than to meet it
in facc-to-facc fght-and less likely to
result in lifetime scars. There were two
ways in which the ancicnts kept from
yielding to the music and Ultimate de-
Struction Of the Sirens. One was that Of
Ulysses, who fortified himself with
bonds that held him fast to the mast
while his boat carried him. listening, by
the tempting strains. The other was
that of the ArgCnautS. who carried Or
pheus with them in their boat. and who
were so cngrossrd in listening to his
music that they never heard the sounds
from the fatal shore. They bore through
life 10 memory Of the temptcrS' allure
mcnts, as Ulysses did. The MAN who
can keep his mind and body SO occupied
with the better things that he has no
time for unnecessary conflict with the
devil is going to be the greatest power
for good in the Lords service. But il
the fight must he fought, then let him
throw himself against the foe with all
the strength that legions Of angels can
gives. S. Times.

Total Abstinence Desirable.

The London Clinic says: Recently a
chairman of a hospital board refused to
confirm the appointment of q noted ply
;ician on the staff of the hospital, because
was found that he was moderate and
continuous drinker. He gave as a reason
;hat his pecuniary interests had always
suffered when placed in the care of drink
.rs, and he could not consistently vote to
1--WE larger and more sacred responsibilities
20 the care of similar persons.
"This sentiment distinctly outlines the
growing conviction in all business circles,
outside of moral considerations or theories.
Within a few years great change has
aiken place in all the Eastern cities con-
:erning the competency of men who us'
pirits. The manufacturer, the jobber, the
;etailer, even the distiller, brewer and re-
;ail liquor dealer, demand total abstainers
20 do their own work. On the great ocean
steamers total abstinence was the rule
when at sea, but recently several large
companies have enforced rigid laws, max
ng it part of the officers qualifications
hat he be total abstainer. Should he be
;een drinking anywhere, on duty or on
luty, he is to be dischargeh"at once. The
Mayor of an Eastern city announced to the
Common Council in his first message. that
le would oppose every nomination of Off
:ials who were not total abstainers.
"He also said that for years he had re-
used to employ drinking men in his busi-
hess, and the public was entitled to the
,ame careful service. These examples are
Increasing yearly in every part OF the
country, and are above all sentiment, ana

Lost Faith In Each Other-How tho First

and Wrecked Prom Ising Careers-Dan.
gers That Beset q Man I'm Political Lifs.
A Springfield politician tells a queer
story OF how two former members of the
legislature took to drink.
"Two young fellows from the Congress
'ional district where I used to live" said
adjoining counties. One. .wss zeIected one
term and, reelected the ne3s;;, The other
vas first elected at the. beginning of his
/ friends second term. The two-term man
vas BILL won't tell you his last name
| The others first name was Joe.
"Bill and Joe had been playmates in
youth-they were related distantly,
;hink-and each had high opinion Of the
,ther. Neither drank-that is, before they
took their first drinks-but l am getting
lhead of my story. If anyone had said
mean thing about Joe, Bill would have

nformer's head would have been punched.
Zach thought the other incapable of a
mean act, and, as a matter of fact, it
would have been hard to find two finer
Young fellows.
"Bill had bad cold the first day of the
lew session, and I advised him to take
not whisky. He didn't like the idea. and
have never forgiven myself for insisting
;hat it was the only thing to brace him up.
We can't go to the saloon, though said
le, and I agreed with him. then took
him to place in behind a grocery store,
;amous resort for politicians who want to
get bit without being seen in a saloon.
"Piled up along every wall Of the rear

barrels of strong drink in the place. The

nen looked white, and nothing could have
convinced Joe that Bill hadn't been in the
iabit of spending his time among all those
barrels boozing I later learned that Joe
lad also had cold, and that his friend
lad brought him in the same way I had
Bill. I found it out too late, however.
The mischief had been done. From that
lime forward each doubted the other.
Both tried to explain, but neither believed
he other The upshot of it was that both
ost their faith in human nature, and ulti-
nately both really took to drinking. It

line of six kites in tandem: Five OF the
kites were of an improved box pattern
and one a ribbed kite. The greatest
height was reached with four and three
quarter miles of steel piano wire used as a
flying line. The temperature at the high

A CoInparison..'

In 1877 it was found that over twenty
two persons in the million died from ty:-
phoid fever m Liverpool. There was great
excitement ever it. and better sanitation
was ordered, with the result that the per
centage was reduced in 1896 to two IN the
million. In 1877 the same lnyestiga,tiion
showed that over tifty-three IN the mliiion
were being killed by alcoholism, ana thls
does not include diseases resulting rom o6n
in the million, but instead of excitement
and the adoption OF means to stop this the
number of saloons has been increased year
ly. The killing off of peoples near rela-
tiyes by drink does not appear to stir them
to action. And if the family crimes, cruel
Ties and heartburnings will not rouse peo-
ple, what will?-Royal Templar.
