rw.nty-Third Psalm.

Twenty-Third Psalm.
The might Of Gods enfolding arms my
foes and fears alike will daunt:
His mercy brims my cup; He is my Shep-
herd and 1 shall not want.
Fen though my bread be but crust. my
roof be mean, my fire burn low,
His love will fill my soul with peace, my
heart with a diviner glow.
Through pastures sweet with scented
bloom His unseen presence leadeth
me;
In running brooks and waters still HIS
unremitting care / see
Yea, when I walk within the vale where
deaths black shadow glooms the
way,
shall not fear; the Lord my God will
guide my feet and be my stay.
Beyond that vale no heart is torn, no eye
with tears of anguish wet
His Word it is the solid rock whereon
my house of hope is set.
- Sl.--~..,-
. long and long the way He LEADS Hls
children to their destined place;
A-many suns must rise and sink ere we
may look upon His face;
Blu, some time be 1t ere SO far, the way
will lead us to His door,
And we shall bide at His dear side ror-
ever and forevermore.

tional.

The Law of Love.

Before Socrates it was said: Let
US do good to those who love us, and
evil to those who hate u.s." Socrates
changed the precept and said: Let Us
do good to our friends. and let us do
no evil to enemies" Jesus Christ says.
BLESS them that curse you Love
your enemies Socrates was In
some respects the best of the wise
men of Greece. He was more practi-
cal in his ideas-more in sympathy
with the best instincts and aspirations
of humanity. But how inferior was
his negative conception of benevolenco
to that of our Lord! The only hope
of this fallen world is in the great d.
vine law of love. of doing as God does
to the unthankful and the evil.

The report for the past year of the

Howard H. Russell, national presi-
dent ot the Anti-Saloon League, an
nounces that the league will establish
headquarters at Albany, n. Y, to fight
every effort for open Sunday saloons.
The whisky distillers will urge con-
gress to reduce the tax from $1.1o to
seventy cents gallon, thus represent

The brewers will also a a reduction
from SLIGO to 81 per barrel.
Total abstainers in England are re-

Wilmington Ingram to be bishop OF
London, as this raises to the chief see
temperance. Bishop Ingram will be
the fourteenth bishop who makes il a
practice to decline wine at all ban
Quets, and who newer uses alcoholic
liquor at home.
Ex-Lieutenant Governor Cumbaek
Indiana, says: The average saloon
keeper has no politics. He will be .
rampant Republican to-day and a
roaring Democrat tomorrow, just as
he may promote his traffic. His poll
les may be said to be the unrestrained
right to sell a cents worth of beer
for nickel, and two cents worth of
whisky for a dime. No other question

The InstaIlment Plan in Marriage.

This seems to be the age of install
ments. One can buy almost anything
on the deferred payment plan, and
now Justice Mike Ross has made il
possible to get married on the Install
ment plan. Persons possessing a mar
rage license may come to him and he
will marry them and retain the GER
tificate until the SO fee which he
charges is paid. Yesterday a poorly
dressed negro woman stepped into tho
telephone exchange at the county
court house and asked for Justice
Ross. She was told that he could be
found in his office, but she said he
was not there and that she wished TO
leave some money for him.
She gave the operator SO cents and
explained that he had married her and
that she was to pay SO cents at a time
and must pay him So before she could
have her certificate. She gave the
name of Sadie Anderson, Pacific
House, Fourth and Delaware streets
The records showed that Sadie Ander-
son was married to w. M. King De-
cember 81, 1901.-Kansas City Journal.

whisky Of No Benefit

Young men should know and daily
remember that whisky and all other
spirits cheat their bodies and brains.
Whisky does for the nerves what

Your system needs rest. Your

the nerves, and when you satisfy that
appetite it makes you think you have
found renewed strength. whereas you
have only taken a new dose OF poison.
Your brain and heart are dashed by

Rejecting Christ.

We all. rejecting as a mirror, the
character of Christ, are transformed
into the same image from character to
character-from a poor character to a
better one from a better one to one a
little better still. from that to one still
more complete until, by slow degrees,
the perfect image is attained. Here
the solution of the problem OF sanctif1-
cation is compressed into sentence.
Reflect the character of Christ. and
you will become like Christ.-Henry
Drummond.

= Redemption.

This is a favorite theme OF the
Scriptures. The glorified saints are
represented as singing to the praise OF
Christ. Thou art worthy TOT
thou hast redeemed us out OF every
kindred" Paul writes: I'VE are
bought with a price" Peter: "Ie
were redeemed by the precious blood
of Jesus Christ" the Savior himself
speaks Of his life as "a ransom for
many" And in innumeraole passages
we are told as one of them reads, that
lin him is redemption, even the for
Eiveness OF SINS
The Biblical definition (Eph. l., y
of the term leaves no ground for I'M
certainty. Redemption means for
stveness-God's forgiveness OF the sins
OF the believer. In some way or an
other. by some means, OF which the
Bible nowhere speaks explicitly. the
sacrifice Of Christ secured for penitent
sinners forgiveness. Without that sat
| isfaction OF the law which Christ rem
dered, God could not forgive.
A sinful soul can recognize and own
that truth Looking upon Christs per-
feet obedience in love, the believing
penitent may say Here is my right
eousness; this is the service l woulo
| render: would that ! might live a life
so pure and true; would that this
righteousness were my own. Forgive
me. o God, what l have been; accep
me in the name and for the sake o
Christ. whom l most love, whom tho'
dost love: and help me hencetorth t.
conform my life to his holiness, AM
to walk faithfully in his steps, Anc
since Christ is the anOinted one c
God, appointed for this very end, Go
can be just and yet the Justitier OF hill
who believeth in Jesus. And so tn
Redeemer redeems the sinner from tn
law.-Rev. George Shipman Payso1

work for Temperance in Russia.

Work for Temperance In Russia.
But there is one splendid develop.
ment of Russia's vodka monopoly
which should win more faith for 1t as
a factor for good than anything yet
proved by the system itself. / refer
to the temperance societies formed in
connection with the monopoly, and
their work. These temperance socie-
ties must do much to neutralize any
tendency to run the monopoly entirely
for revenue.
= Since the year 1898 the government
has divided certain Sums among the
temperance societies established In
the governments where the monopoly
Is in force Beginning with q little
over 1900 900 rubles, the sum has
mounted up to over 1000 900 in 1901,
and over 1000 900 this year, out OF the
enormous revenue Of over 200 900 600
which it receives from the monopoly.
With this government money, added
to more raised in other ways, the So
cieties have established teahouses and
cheap temperance restaurants to the
number OF LIS: reading rooms and
circulating libraries, 1,201; lecture
rooms, 654; Sunday schools, Is; even
ing schools, 10; singing classes, lat:
tea gardens and theaters, 500; halls
for dancing, BAG; Christmas trees, 80.
and various other places OF amuse-
ment $50. These figures are for sew
eral years ago and the number is now
much larger.
In St. Petersburg parts Of six public
parks have been set aside for the peo-
pie and here are built open-air thea
tiers and concert halls with tables un-
der the trees where the poor man and
his family can sit during the warmer
months at least and sip glasses OF
good tea for a few kopecks. Decided.
ly the most notable establishment OF
the kind in St Petersburg is the Ma
rodny Dom or peoples houSe-tC
translate it literally. From a certain
point of view l doubt if there is q
more interesting place to visit in the
entire capital. The Russians are very
Justly proud of il. The Narodny DON
itself is fine building of brick. which
was put up for an exposition and ther
bought by the society for this purpose

Some Encouragement in This.

Temperance advocates may be en-
couraged to learn that the people OF
the United States drink much less
beer. wine and spirits than the people
Of other nations. In 1900 the con-
sumption of alcoholic drinks per 10
of population in France was 336 gal
Ions, in Great Britain 3S2 gallons, in
Germany 300 gallons and in the Unit
ed States only 147 gallons, To be sure
an average of lax gallons of alcoholic
drinks in year may seen discourag
ingly large to some.

Whore Shall Rest Be Found?
o. where shall rest be found
Rest for the weary soul?
were vain the ocean depths to sound,
Or pierce to either pole.
The world can never give
The bliss for which we sigh;
IT is not the whole of life to live,
Nor all of death to die.
Beyond this vale of tears
There is a life absve,
Unmeasured by the fight OF years:
And all that life is love.
There is a death whose pang
Outlasts the feeting breath;
o, what eternal horrors hang
Around the second death!
Lord God of truth and grace,
Teach US that death to shun.
Lest we be banished from thy face
And evermore undone.

mean 4 fight with the Wabash. as II will
necessitate crossing that road at Body.
1t was supposed for time that the new
line would come In over the Wabash. but
1t seemed hardly probable. for the reason
that II Is a competitor of the Wabash. The
Wabash will make objection. IL is thought,
for the reason that in the last year II has
spent a great deal of money in cutting out
a hill at that point and improving Its tracks
so that through trains need not stop.
