1.-THE FULL DINNER PAIL"
Some Facts which speak EioouentIy
TO the Working Man OF the wIA-
dom OF Temperance.

The American people spent for
drink last year S1,o69, 249,sS2 This
money was an absolute loss TO the
men who spent it. They received no
valuable thing in exchange for their
cash
IL was not only a loss, bslt 90 &c
tual damage. 1t impaired their wage
earning ability and reduced their pro
ductive power.
1t caused loss TO every other i'm
dustry by reducing the drinkers ahil-
ity TO buy other things.
Their drinking made harder times
for the grocer, the butcher and baker,
whom they did not pay or could not
patronize.
The amount of hast years drink, if
spent for the necessities of life, would
give work in shop, factory and field
to 1.649.5s6 men.
1t gives work in producing raw ma
terial and IN manufacturing drink to
only 30O,9o1 men.
Closed gin mills would mean a
chance to earn a living for 1,s4s,6s5
of the men who are now hunting a
job.

"booze" is sold is n vote for plenty

In the little city Of Washington,
Ind. whose population Is less than
lG. 900, there is factory for toe man
utacture of bent wood products. Mr..
L. III. Creagfn, the proprietor, knew
that many of the 100 men in his en-
Ploy were men OF intelligence and
even refinement and capable OF ap-
pi eciating the truths of Scripture, yet
be noticed that few them attended
church. On inquiring of them the
reason why, he learned that many
OF them stayed away from church be-
cause of the social distinctions which
pe:vaded in that small town.
Mr.. Creagin doubted this, and
thought it very insufficient excuse,
but on further Investigation he found
that his men were nearly right.
How Mr.. Creagin sought TO change
this state of things is interestingly
told In the Christian Herald
In kind and brotherly way Mr..
Creagin talked with his men, and said
he would like to show them in prac-
| teal way what the truths Of Chris
tianity were. His plan was that for Is
minutes every morning there would
be talk on some practical Bible
truth by minister. The following
Monday a well-known minister in the
city took his place at seven o'clock in
a long room of the factory where all
the men were assembled and spoke
lpon the subject: Things to Think
About" Every man paid close atten-
ton. There was no eXhortation, DO
pleading, only plain Gospel talk. At
a quarter past seven the factory
wheels were set in motion and every
man went to his place.
Every morning since theD-and that
was several months ago-at the blow
Ing of the whistle, the men gather in
the large room. The minister has
never beea late, and no employe has
ever been late at the early service
Every man is paid at his regular wage
rate for the time he puts in listening
to the morning address. The minis
ter, also. is on the factory payroll, end
every week receives a check from Mr..
Creagin for his services.

pAny found at any tavern within 10
or ~ miles of his home.
Alcohol weakened his mind, and even
partially paralyzed his body. No one
believed that the drinking. swearing,
staggering loafer could be far from
the drunkard's end. No one but his
wife She prayed for him, and hoped
and waited, He never abused his fam
Ny. He only disgraced them. In his
cups he often boosted of his good,
.pious wife" and his smart children.
One August night he came home
from long spree, and went TO bed
and slept quietly. This was CRATE.
'fni circumstance, for his nights at
home were too often so noisy as to
suggest incipient mania In the morn
ing he dressed, washed and sat down

anstead of his pipe, he found pocket
Blble and went out and sat under a
tree to read. He read all day. He
seemed to have forgotten his drink
and his tobacco. His children won
aered. His wife watched him, cried
softly to herself, and whispered: God
help hirA!"
For six months Jacob spent most of
his time reading and meditating.-and
gathering back his lost health and
lStrength, BY that time he had worn
ont one Bible and procured another.
Gradually and quietly he began to
speak of his changed feeling, and to
seek his old associates in dissipation
that he might carry to them the mes
sage of redemption. They laughed
and called him "loouy" Church-mem-
bers held aloof and distrusted him
when he asked their fellowship. At
last. modestly, he dated the revolution
pf his life, and told its cause-which
TO him never ceased TO be miracle. In
q dream, that August night, he had
seen the Saviour.
The behavior of the renewed man
was evidence enough of his sincerity
1t was not until S5 years later that
he died, a beloved and humble old
Christian, having outlived all his fam.
Aly and became totally blind.

changed the sot into a saint, the fancy
was no less Divine visit. 1t was such
