GODS MESSAGE TO MAN
PREGNANT THOUGHTS FROM THE
WORLDS GREATEST PROPHETS.

Poem: The Day of Small Things, by Han
nah Harcourt PIckard-The Strange
Antagonism of Good and Evil Forees
in Mans Nature-Christ the Pattern.
Not thine. perchance, to climb Gods
Holy Mount
And view the prospect on the further
side;
But thou canst place thy feet upon the
rock,
And safely there abide.
Not thine to lead the armies of the Lord
To storm the tents of wickedness and SIN;
But thou canst guide stray lamp 10 the
fold
And keep it safe within.
Not thine, perchance, to charm with
matchless voice
The hearts of men, and move to Joy or
tears;
But thou canst sing little child to sleep,
And soothe and calm its fears.
Not thine the skill to level mighty hills
And bid the torrent in its fountain stay;
But thou canst lift stone from out the
road
That bars thy brothers way.
And when at last the promised day shall
come,
And He-the Lord-shall judge the lives
Of all,
It we'll may be these little deeds Of thine
May not to Him seem small.

She Took Her Papa Home.

The following story of pathetic incl
dent which occurred in Atlanta, Ca, Is
told by the Southern Star, prohibition
pape- of that city 1t is not an unusual
incident at all, its counterpart has been
witnessed in every large. city where the
open saloon tempts weak men to tnelr
ruin:
1t was 9 o'clock at night, bitterly cold,
and the winds whisted around the police
barracks in Atlanta Hardly person was
on the street, it was so bleak and cold.
The officers at the barracks had gath
cred around the warm heater telling their
experiences in the past when little, gen
tie rap was heard on the door;
Come in," cried the call officer.
There was silence for a moment and the
rap was repeated again.
For goodness sake tell whoever it is to
come in out of the cold" called the station
sergeant.
Then an effort was made to open the
door. but it failed and then for the third
time the tap on the door was repeated
and the call man jumped up and opened
the door.
Out in the cold, on the stone steps stood
a tiny little girl. She was thiniy clad, al
though it was freezing outside. Her thin
brown hair chung in damp shreds about
her pale forehead.
Come in, little girl, and get warm" ex-
claimed the officer.
The child shuddered either from fright
or cold and slowly walked into the office
"What do you want" asked the aston
ished sergeant. 80,
eyes filling with tears.
your papa" said the sergeant, who
is your papa, and why do you tnlnk ne IL
in such place as this
Brushing away the tears the child re.
piled in trembling voice: Mamma SAID
tonight that papa was sick and the police
had him So / came here to find him. Is
he here?"
The little one then gave the name of
her father, and the sergeant found that
he was docketed as being drunk. He
called the turnkey and asked him to see II
the man had sobered up.
The turnkey reported that the man was
sober enough to go home.
Then let him out, said the kind-heart'
ed officer, ''and give him a copy OF the
charges. It's not business, but the little
girl shall have her papa
The man came out haggard and weak
from the effects of his spree. The child
ran with glad cry into his arms ano
kissed him again and again.
Mamma told me you were sick" she
said, "and have come to take you home. d"
The man made no reply. His hands
trembled az he tried to smooth back his
brown hair. In silence he passed from the
barracks with his trusting, loving little
girl
IF that man doesn't reform and let this
be his last drunk" remarked the station
sergeant, che is made Of stone"
This is only one of thousands of sad
cases that are chronicied by our daily
press each year. We think that voters
have hearts of stone when they allow sucr
things to exist. Let US as loyal Christian
the saloons will go from Atlanta, the State
of Georgia and the nation and then there
win be no more debauchery crime or mis-
cry caused by the helish traffic which
should be forever outlawed, and which
is every year running hundreds of thou
sands of homes and sending thousands to
drunkards graves.

,rhe British Women's. Temperance As.
ISOLATION has started farm for women
who have become addicted to the liquor
habit They do all the light work OF
farming, raising flowers, vegetables and
chickens. The glass houses are managed
entirely by women, and the produce sold
in the London market. The movement is
meeting with great success, many women
begging to- stay after they are cured. They
acquire a love for outdoor work, and coun-
try homes are found for them as far as
possible Good food. pure air, certain
amount of physical labor and cheerful sur
roundIags have worked great changes in
liquor-soaked women. If it worked so
well in England, who not here? Our cities
are thronged with women who might be
helped by period of enforced pure liv-
ing, Hundreds of children drink in the
liquor habit at their mothers breasts,
Removed from the vicinity of gin shops
and other places of temptation, many OF
these women and children might become

Pascal affirmed that man is miserable
because he is, and great because he knows
it." An inspired writer of old, awakened
by the great problems of existence and
conscious Of the majesty of God, voiced
the universal feeling of thoughtful souls
when he exclaimed: what is man that
Thou art mindful of him!" Evidently
man is a problem to himself, mysterious
union of forces of which he is more or less
conscious. but which he is unable adequate
ly to measure. The great apostle, under
the stress of contending desires, asserted
that when he would do good, evil was
present with him, so that what he wished,
that he did not do.
There is no man who seeks to be and to
do that which he assents to as right. but
finds within him strange paradoxes. What
these forces are that make for better or
for worse, he may be unable to analyze
or understand, except as God has revealed
to him, that his life is under and may be
controlled, either fully or in part, by spir--
itual forces on the one side, the spirit OF
good, N the other the spirit OF evil The
experiences of life sufficiently teach us the
fact that with good intent we have often
missed the mark, and at times even gone
contrary to our better judgment. From
these experiences we certainly shall not
confuse ourselves with any idea that some
external IOTCe Is Wholly IeSpOHSlDIe lOI Jul
conduct, for we know too well that our
own powers have been in alliance with that
which was not ourselves, and we, strange
as it may seem, have done that which we
had not intended and for which we are,
nevertheless, alone responsible.
This strange fact we discover not only
with reference to our conduct, but also
with reference to our thinking. Thus it
has happened with some men that their
thinking is of much higher order than
their living, while with other men their
conduct in acts of charity, kindness, sym
pathy and fraternal helpfulness stand be-
yond criticism, while their theological
thought is fagrantly heterodox. OF this
class may be named some of the prominent
religious writers of our time-men who
boldly assail the faith of the fathers and
seemingly undermine the foundations of
the Christian belief, but who yet are, APP
parently, men of sweet and lovable spirit,
and whose daily conduct in lie among
their fellows is above reproach. In them
Is an obvious contradiction of the accepted
truth that, 'as he thinketh in his heart so
he is" Let US not forget, however, that a
distinction must be made between heart
thought and brain thought One is that
which carries the whole man with it, the
other that which gives assent but not com
mand. While we recognize in ourselves
this strange union, even at time antagon-
ism of forces, we ought to be better pre-
pared under the assurances of divine as
sistance,, to keep our own thinking and
living up to the standard which has been
set for us in the example of the perfect
man Christ Jesus.-Chicago Standard.

drinks that he has no longer the power OF
