Tie BLESSING of Sacrifice.

History tells Of the servant whose
master was sold into Algeria, and who
sold himself and wandered years in the
great desert in the nero hope Of at last
finding and freeing his lord; of the OBJ
scure man Of the Eastern city who, mis-.
understood and unpopular, left will
stating that he had been poor and suf,
fered for the lack OF water, and so had
starved and shaved through life to build
an pQueduct for his native town that the
poor might not suffer as he had; Of the
soldier in the battle, wounded in cheek
and mouth and dying Of thirst, bat who
would not drink lest he should spoil the
water for others, and so yielded up his
life. But this capacity Of sacrifice and
sympathy is but the little in man answer
ing to what is large in God. Here deep
answers unto deep. The definition of
the Divine One Is, He remembers those
in bonds, and tits more blessed to give
than to receive; more, blessed to feed the
hungry than starving to be fed; more
blessed to pour'light on darkcned misun-
derstanding than ignorant 10 be taught;
more blessed to open the path through
the wilderness of doubt than wandering
to be guided: more blessed to bring in
the beHildered pilgrim than to be lost
and rescued: more blessed to forgive
than to be forgiven; TO save than to be
saved.---Newell Dwight Hills, ID. D..

A Terrible Indictment.

this frightful Indictment against the Brit

and licensed by the British Government,

Ceylon. The Government certainly does
row and despair with which many of the
natives look upon this absolutely ruinous
traffic, thrust upon them against their
wishes for the sake of revenue. In In

iduor in district is sold at public auc-
ti3n to the highest bidder When some
one has bought the right and promised to
give the Government large sum of money

loser by the transaction, so he opens as
MANY liquor shops as possible in the dis
tIlct. These are located in the towns and
villages near the tea and cinchona es-
tates, in the mining districts and the road
sides along which there is most travel,
and by means of these multiplied places
af temptation nation of abstainers is fast
becoming a nation Of drunkards. The
Eeligions of the Hindus, Mohammedans
and Buddhists forbid the use of strong
drink, and formerly the people of India
and Ceylon were for the most part total
a6stainers. Spirits were high priced and
haEd to get, and drunkenness was uncom-
MON because there was little temptation
to- drink. But in any country, if the facili-
ties for obtaining strong drink are in
cSsased, the consumption is increased; If
the facilities for btaining strong drink
are diminished, consumption is dimin-
'ished. In India and Ceylon the facilities
tor obtaining ST. ong drink have been ab-
normally increased. The British Govern
ment, for the sske of revenue, has made

combined evils of war and pestilence and
