"Saunterfnc" Christians.

The kind Of life many so-callnd mem.
bers of the church have marked ont for
themselves should be strictly called not
walking. but ''Sauntrriug." The very
origin of this word conveys an inStr6c-
tive lessons. In the ages when ii pill
grimage to Palestine was held in such
esteem there sprang up set of idle
ilupOstnrs who wandered about every
where in the country and sought aims ut
the hands Of the inhabitants under the
preteXt that they were preparing to go
a la saintc terre--to the Holy Land. 1t
was soon discovered that they had never
left their native shores; and such dis
gust did their vain professions inspire
that new word was coined to reprobatc
the shameful practice. and they were
called 'sauntcrers." With equal truth
may the term be applied to all who pro-
fess to he Christians without moving
forward encrgrtically to the heavenly
goal.-J. 7. Lilley.

Weight of Precedent.

There is a story reported as having
been told by Colonel Fred N. Dow, Of
Portland, Me-, which shows well how Gus
tomary usage "broadens down from pre-
cedent to precedent" And no less plain
ly does it show the weight of the excep-
tional precedent.
Colonel Dow once visited friends at
Quebec, and while seeing the sights of the
city AID its surroundings, he took pub
lie carriage to visit the Falls OF Montmor-
ency. At a halfway house on the road
the driver pulled up'his horses and re,
marked, "The carriage always stops here;
"For what purpose" asked the colonel.
"Foc the passengers to treat" was the
reply. s;, .nd ,,. 4, not
intend to treat
The driver had dsmounted. and was
waiting by the roadside. Drawing himself
up to bis full height, he said, impressively,
II have driven this carriage now more
than thirty years, and this has happened
once before. Some time ago | had for
fare crank from Portland, Me-, by, the
name of Neal Dow, who said he wouldn't
drink, and what was more to the point,
he said he wouldn't pay for anybody else
to drink" -,
The son found himself occupying the
same ground as that OIL which his father
had stood.

The Luck OF Kansas.

In answering the question, What has
prohibition done for Kansas" the Kan
sas State Temperance Union says: 1T
has reduced the annual consumption OF
intoxicants from above fifteen gallons per
capita, the average throughout the United
States, to less than one gallon per capita
in Kansas. 1t saved an average OF over
s6,OOO,OOO in liquor sales which otherwise
would 60 to the saloon. It has reduced
the internal revenue collections from
above Sl.25 per capita, the average
throughout the United States, to less than
twenty cents in Kansas. Last, but not not
least. it saves annually more than l2Oo
souls from drunkards' graves"

The Christia n the Proof.

Christianity is essentially life. and life
is essentially indcfnablc-its one proof
is itself. 1t is proves that it is. So
Christianity is proved by the Christian.
The fruit proves the tree. When 1t
comes to the proof Of Christianity, his
torieal, philosophical or ethical, that is
another question. Many are searching
for proofs among ruins Of buried cities,
in fragmenthry records of dead empires,
in the cunefornis and kieroglyphics Of
lost tongues. and are trying to trace its
beginning in moral protoplasm and its
development through all moral and re-
ligious evolution. But essential life is
not proved that way. =. 49,. p.
BY their fruits We shal! know them.
The Christian is the living fruitage of
Christianity. He stands the most ad-
vafced and highest Of the foremost
phalanx of humanity, He is of purest
morals, frmest integrity, truest benevol-
ence, broadest philanthropy, and deepest
self-sacrifcc. The world has noted this
to give.to it the title of, Christianity. 1t
demands these proofs Of gennineness in
those who call themselves Christians.
As Jesus pointed to his works, such as
"none other man did," as proof Of His
divine character and mission. SO now he
points to his disciples and says: '"These
are they that testify Of Me- and to his
followers he says, "Ye are My Wit
neSses." l. 20.

Obedience Learned Through Suffering.

It is not strange that now and then
the harpstrings snap as they are being
drawn tight enough for some masters
hand to call from them the sweetest har-
mony. Notes that angels might listen
to, and which thrill all human hearts,
come from heartstrings quivering with
pain. The very captain of our saliva

Son, He learned obedience through the
things which He suffered" This blessed
sacrament of suffering conveys the need
ed graccs of discipline, and affords the
opportunities of service, even though it
be- broken to us, as it was to our Lord
and His apostles, by the hands OF wicked
men. They know not what they do
who drive the cruel nails and thrust the
thirsty, spear. They may r:ean it for
evil. but our God oyerrulcs it for good.
