Stella Maris, the monthly parish paper
OF st. Francis de Sales Church, Charles
town, had some excellent temperance doc
trine in recent issue. Here Is what 1t
says abont that foolish custom OF "treat-
ing," which we have 50 often condemned
In these columns:
""Treating' is curse. Many of our
young men think that they will be con-
sidered mean II they don't take their turn
at treating. This is a barroom lie An
idea originated by old topers and drunk
ards who hope in this way to get drunk
cheaply.
"Don't go with fellows who have the
habit OF treating; they are the teachers of
drunkenness. The road from treating to
drunkenness is straight; there is no re.
treating.
'Self-respect is not learned in bar
room. You don't find the cream of man
hood before the bars Of liquor saloons;
you find there the dregs of humanity. A
self.respecting man will avoid touch with
such degraded manhood. Especially
young Irish fellows have got into this bad,
deplorable habit OF showing their gen.
erosity and friendship by treating their
friends. Generosity is Il fine trait in the
character; but do not show generosity
by making drunkards. We have too many
OF these already among our sons. and
fathers and brothers.

Provoking Each Other to Good Works.


This is a favorite phrase with some peo-
Pile. They are very much afraid that it will
be said Of them that they set themselves up
to be better than their neighbors. The ap-
plause OF men, and to be on good terms with
all about them, is the very breath of their
nostrils. SO they take much satisfaction in
the thought that while they are all right with
God-for do they not worship Him with all
due decorousness in the most approved style
and wear becomingly the conventional
marks of piety?-it cannot for moment
be charged against them that they are in the
least Pharisaic or interfere in the slightest
degree with others spiritual rights. Let
such folks get what comfort they can out OF
all that rfay be good in this attitude; but let
them also reflect that two very serious dan
gers are in their pathway. They stand
in great peril of moral cowardice, and
their light, if put so carefully under a
bushel. will be very likely to go out
altogether. We are hidden to pro-
woke one another unto love and good
works. Be more provoking, is proper ex-
lortation if we give the right meaning to
the word. To thrust ones self in any shape
actions, opinions, professions, exhorta-
tions-needlessly into public view, is vulgar
and offensive; but stand with boldness, in a
manly or womanly way, for truth and right
when they are assailed. or to exhibit our
earnest, loving interest in the highest well
fare of our friends, is quite another thing.
Our dey otion to Jesus should be pushed
more into view rather than less. If we have
mo religion to speak Of" it may be seri-
ously questioned whether we really have the
genuine article.

many days they saw sail against the sky.
They signalled it. When the vessel came
nearer, the people on the suffering ship said
to the captain OF the other vessel: "Send us
some water. We are dying for lack of
water" And the captain On the vessel
that was hailed responded: dip your buck
cts where you are. You are in the mouth of
the Amazon, and there are scores of miles of
fresh water all around about YOU. and hun
dreds of feet deep" And then they dropped
their buckets over the side of the vessel, and
brought up the clear, bright, fresh water,
and put out the fire of their thirst So
hail you today, after long and perilous
voyage, thirsting as you are for pardon, and
thirsting for comfort, and thirstng for
eternal life; and l ask you what is the use

We Owe God the Best.

We need to regard certain specific claims
of God upon our daily life, just because He
is God. First of all He deserves our conf
dence. We owe Him our answering trust
but we often worry needlessly and practi-
caily doubt His power and His goodness.
Nothing steadies life so much makes it
calm in the midst of great pressure and fear,
as the thought that God is in His heaven,
that this is good world, and that our life
moves on to happy issues. II am per-
suaded." says the apostle, that he is able
to guard that which 1 have commit
ted unto him." God deserves, just
because he is God, the best that is in
US. The Jews had the right idea
when they brought the best of their fiocks
and their first fruits to the altar. II will
not offer to my God that which costs me
nothing" said a worshipper in ancient
time. And until the element of sacrifice en-
ters into our offering to God we come short
of the Christian ideal. Look over your
actions at the close of day and see if
there be one single exertion that represents
true subordination OF your own desires and
interests to the welfare of some one else. If
you cannot find one. then God has been de-
frauded Of His rightful due. He who gave
to the world in His Son not only His best
gift, but the one which cost Him most, ex-
poets from us a sacrificial response.

given us once for all thine only begotten
Son to rule us, and hast by thy good pleas
ure consecrated him a King over US, that
we may be perpetualy safe and secure un-

safety. And as thou hast committed us to
him, that he may be the guardian of our
salvation, SO also suffer us neither to turn
aside nor fail. but preserve US ever in his
service, un: il we at length be gathered into
that blessed and everlasting kingdom which
