much heartburn To The story OF her
husbands cruelty. and secretly prayed
for strength and grace to do the right.
John Williams was a drunkard who
had fallen from good position. and
now his home was one-roOmed cellar
dwelling. almost barren Of furniture.
and a great contrast 10 the well-fur'
nished villa TO which IA years ago he
had taken his bride. The exodus from
villa TO slum life was occasioned by
drink. For drink, one after another ar
ticle Of furniture found its way TO the
pawnshop. and drink alone was re-
sponsible for the degradation and
squalor in which we now find him.
1t had not always been so. The first
six years of their welded life had been
very happy and comfortable. The
birth of their only child. Mabel. was a
source of great joy to her parents. and
for time all was peace and content
ment. with never thought or sign of
the bitterness and sorrow that loomed
in the distance. The story Of Williams
downfall-which finds it's counterpart
daily in the lives Of many peoples
soon told.
John Williams was a master black
smith in a village just outside north
ern city. He was well known in the
district. and his business was a good
one. He also was highly respected by
his neighbors. was a sober and religious
man. and even held Office in the little
Wesleyan chapel. Some eight years be-
fore our story commences. political
cub had been founded in the village.
and Williams. being an ardent politi-
clan. was appointed its secretary. The
committee determined upon the sale
of Intoxicating liquors. and Williams
occasionally drank with the members.
The habit grew upon him. and before
II he seemed powerless. He passed
quickly from an occasional to an in
veterate drinker. and his downfall was
quick and sure. First. he was removed
from office at the little chapel, and
soon after a new secretary in his stead
was appointed for the club. He got
behindhand with his rent. and con-
tracted a number Of debts in the town.
and was eventually sold up. Then he
migrated 10 Manchester. and amid new
surroundings and company resolved
and promised TO reform. But he had
reckoned without his host. The devil
had got a firm grip Of him. and as Viii
liams stoically refused 10 sign the tenn
perance pledge and give up the drink
altogether. his efforts al reform were
only short-lived. Now. he was too idle
10 work. and his wife had To go out
charine in order TO raise bread for her
self. her child. and even him. On the
occasion Of our story he returned
home. expecting to find his wife. and
as she had not returned and Mabel had
not got the tea prepared-there was no
bread i'm the house-he commenced
loudly 10 upbraid both Mabel and her
mother. Thinking to pacify him the
little one advanced towards her father.
and taking hold OF his hand and look
ing intently in his face, she said. with
tears in her eyes: Father, dear, we
have no bread. and mother has not
come" POOR Mabel! better not have
