cannot be hushed up when the rum
touches the brain and the man becomes
thoroughly frenzied. Such one came
home, having been absent for some time.
and during his absence his wife died, and
she lay in the next room prepared for the
obsequies, and he went in and dragged
her by the locks and shook her out of
the shroud and pitched her out of the
window. Oh, when rum touches the
brain you cannot hush it up!
My friends, you see all around about
you the need that something radical be
done. You do not see the worst. In the
midnight meetings in London great
multitude have been saved. We want
n few hundred Christian men and women
to come down from the highest circles
of society to toll amid these wandering
and destitute ones and kindle up light
In the dark alley, even the gladncss of
heaven. DO not go wrapped in your fine
furs and from your well filed tables with
the idea that pious talk is going to stop
! the gnawing of an empty stomach or TO
warm stockmgless feet. Take bread,
take raiment, take medicine, as well as
take prayer. There is a great deal of
common sense in what the poor woman
said to the city missionary when he was
telling her how she ought to love God
and serve him. "Oh," she said, IF you
were as poor and cold as ! am and as
hungry you could think of nothing else
A great deal OF what is called Chris
tan work goes for nothing for the simple
reason that it was not practical, as after
| the battle of Antietam man got out
of an ambulance with bag or tracts.
and he went distributing the tracts, and
George Stuart. one of the best Christian
Ia
men in this country, SAID to MN: Nv nat
are you distributing tracts lor now
There are three thousand men pieeo'hs
to death. Bind up their wounds ana
then distribute the tracts. we want
