EPwORTH LEAGUE MEETING TOPICS.
October I9-Seli.Mnstery Cor. 9. rs; Gal.
5. l6-26.

The two passages selected for our
study inculcate the temperance Of
self.control in all things, and the con-
flict of the flesh and the spirit. In
Galatians Paul contrasts the two re-
suits of living to the flesh and to the
spirit. True temperance includes
more than abstinence from strong
drink: 1t takes in the complete regu-
lation and control of every faculty Of
our nature, physical, mental, and
moral. The temperance man is tho
self-mastered man.
Self-control means the direction of
all the forces of our nature by the
judgment and the will. 1t implies
also not only restraint, but the power
to bring into active use the undevelop-
ed forces of our nature. This power
Is absolutely necessary for high ell
cheney in secular life as well as the
religious development.
While we are ordered not to think
more highly of ourselves than We
ought to think, we are at the same
time urged to think soberly, that Is.
justly and rightly. One will never
practice self-control until he first
recognizes the dignity of his man.
felt. The worth of a soul must be
seen. He who cultivates a healthy
self.respect lays the foundation for
self-mastery. The human will Is po-
tent, but not omnipotent. The best
of men will fall who trust to their own
will alone. The grace of God and the
help of Christ will be given to all who
ask. By these helps we may find the
mastery of self, the subordination and
subjection of every faculty and power
of the soul to worthy uses. Without
them we may fail. In these days Of
stress and trial how we need, In
Church and State, this manly Chris
tian trait of true temperance, self
control.
The self-mastered will not be sim
mastered. True temperance includes
all habits and life. Personal absti-
nence from intoxicants Is one i'm
portant factor In self-mastery. A
bridled tongue can only be secured by
controlled imagination and fancy.
The most effective prohibition is per-
sonal prohibition executed by my will.
The Christian must have himself per-
fectly In hand; there must be moth
ing that he cannot say No to, IL
necessary. BY self-control all the
higher powers of our nature are en-.
nobled, and all the lower held in sub
lection. The conscience becomes SUI
preme and its distates are unquestion.
ably obeyed. This is the one determ-
lining quality on which success or fail
ure in life depends. This pre-emi'
nently fits one for great emergencies.
He who has 1t not surrenders. He
who has 1t seizes the scepter and wins
the crown OF victory"
Circulate the temperance pledge in
the League. Cooperate with the tenn
perance committee OF your Quarterly
Conference. Collate twenty Bible
warnings against intemperance. Urge
all present to seek the help Of Christ
for self-mastery.

The Great Temptation.

On one occasion some years ago General
Phil Sheridan, known in war time as

big house in Washington, watching his
four bright children get into cart and
drive down the street.

"Phil, If you could choose for your little

The Creators Care.

'I have made and 1 will bear" Isaiah
46: 4. Gods promises depend on somes
thing more promising than our perform
ances; they are based on His personal
character His promises are but the reve-
latlon OF the everlasting principles that
govern the universe. He is the author Of
the principle that rules in natural and in
human law that the creation OF thing in,
wolves the duty to care for it. II God ac-
knowledges the responsibility for our being
He also undertakes the responsibility for
our we'll being.
We can be quite sure He has not created
us in order to destroy or to torture us. All
nature cries out against such a thought.
Nothing II stronger in man than the sense
of responsibility for his offspring Depend
uDon it our yearning over and care for
them is but the faintest reflection Of tho
same characteristic in God. If parentaga
involves protection and provision with US
how much more perfectly does this princi-
pie hold with Him! And is there any
thing so sweet and pleasing to the parent
as the utter reliance of the child or any.
thing so honoring to God as our implicit
trust in Him? If our hearts are moved
with pleasure by the child's dependence
cannot we hope to move Gods infinitely
loving heart with wondrous joy by the
very simple act of casting ourselves alto
gether on His care? To take up His prom.
ises is not only our privilege. but it is His
good pleasure. What most blesses us most
pleases Him
There is more than the promise of provi.
dence; there is also that of preservation.
We are His workmanship and He will pro-
tect It from damage, from assaults and i'll.
The floods may rise, but He win bear us
above them. He has not designed man
and then deserted him to the defacing OF
the devil
And, more than this, it involves perfec-
tion. God never leaves His work half
done. What He proposes that He per-
forms He has made us and He is still
making us. This imperfect, vacillating, sin.
full, evil-loving and mourning heart Ia not
His finished product; this strange. weak
will housed in this body frail and falling
and falling at last to decay; surely there ia
something further and better beyond this!
Our hearts teach us so to hope, and the
answer comes back in the very glory of the
tace OF God; here is the model aud pattern.
This present imperfect life is but a stage
the process of Gods perfecting of His
workmanship. He who has put His hands
to this work will not cease until He has
fully established His likeness in it, until
the submissive clay seems to be alive with
the very spirit of the artist, until we "shalI

There Is a woman In New York who

novel industry OF making fish scale
flowers and leaves. The denizens OF

lac and purple. The scales are easily
fastened together or to wires with 0
strong fish glue, which is singularly
durable. The industry passed to the
West Indies. where 1t was adopted by
the Spaniards, and during the Cuban
war came over to the mainland and
found home In Florida.
