Living by Daily Work.

That which we earn, or which we work
for, is worth more to US than that which
is given to us without any effort on our
part. This is in accordance with Gods
best dealings with His children, and all of
mans experience tends to confirm this
truth. Even in Eden. before mans fall.
man was set to dress the garden and keep
it. He had to work for his living while yet
at his best, and while God was caring for
him es His favorite child. When later, in
the wilderness. the children of Israel were
being led by God. and fed by bread from
heaven day by day. they had, each and
all, to earn enough for living by picking
up their needfu! food. When the rich
Boaz was won to an interest in attractive
Ruth, the Moabitish young widow. he did
not say to the laborers in his lordly fields:
Give her all the grain she needs or
wants." but he said: "Let her CLEAN, even
among the sheaves." That was the better
way for Ruth. Eaving what she cleaned
was better than would have been having
what was given her in charity. It was the
same in the new dispcnsation as in the
old. The word OF the apostle was, as to
the early Christians: "If any man will not
work. neither let him eat" Our highest
privilege is of working for our living, not
of living without work. Let US be CRATE
ful that we have the blessing of work.
When we have living support in conncc.
ton with work. that is something more to
be grateful for. May we be spared from
living work.-Sunday-School Times.

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

Poem: Dnvn-soon the Truth viii Iliu-
mino All Our Hearts-Przyto he Spared
From Living without work-A Source
OF Gratitude.
The heralds OF the summer dawn
Are joyous in the dewy fields;
The morning wind briags up the hill
The fragrance that the meadow yields
A mingled scent, elusive, sweet,
OF new-mown grass and clover white
And locust blossoms by the brook
That glimmers in the carly light.
Now all the east in sp.endor shines.
The world awakes to greet the day,
The quail is whistling no more wet
The river mists are rolled away;
For now the sun is on the hills,
The shadows stretch across the mead
The JOY of morning freshly fills
Each Spreading tree, each wayside wccd.
Not so has dawned the light Of truth
Upon the darkened world OF thought;
But slowly to our waiting eyes
Has grown the CLEAN our souls hare
sought.
So. slowly growing through the years,
The blessed truth that makes men
The clouds of superstition still
Obscure the light that all should see.
Yet surely as the dawn unbars
The gateway Of the eastern sky
To food the fields with radiance,
And all the land to glorify,
So surely shall the light OF truth
Upon its heaven-appointed way
Uirminc all our hearts at last,
End shine unto the perfect day"

Anerienu Fruit Abroad.

The value of the Paris E:pasition to the
frui, growers of this country by reason OF
the exhibit they made there. may BE- seen
from the increase in the export OF apple,
within the past two years. The United
States exported in lS98 about 100000 bar
re;.. worth u million and 4 quarter dollars;
In 1900 the export was upward oi @n.on
barrels. valued \: million and a hat :ol,
hr. and in Ia1l it was more than SO) eOn
barrels. valued at upwards OF two million
dollars. This substantial increase may.
without doubt. b. attributed to the 'ne
showing made by our growers at the Expo

Some Comparative ststsme.ss.

A writer in the Fortnightiy Review, Ma
John Holt Schooling, has presented soma
comparative statements concerning drink
in the United States, England, France and
Germany. These statements, which are
based upon careful study Of available sta
tistics. will do much to dissipate current
errors on this question. They yield the
following results: In France the total con
sumption Of beer, spirits and wine fcR
every ten Of the population; in The United
Kingdom, $50 gallons; in Germany, 800
gallons. and in the United States, l47 gat
Ions for every ten inhabitants.
The great difference in the drinking kabs
its of these nations is seen in their respcc.
tive consumption Of spirits and fermented
liquors. A further analysis OF the stats
tics shows that the consumption OF wine in
France was 24 gallons TO every ten inhab
itants, of beer % gnllons and Of spirits e
gallons. In Germany the account stands:
Fifteen gallons Of wine, Zs Of beer and -
of spirits. In the United Kingdom: Four
gallons OF wine, 3l7 OF beer and II OF spir
its. In the United States: Three Eallons
of wine, l33 Of beer. and II Of spirits fof
every ten inhabitants.
The figures show that while the French
consume more wine and spirits than any Of
drinking consumption Is in the United
States. The American total Is less than
half the consumption per head OF the other
three countries. Formerly the French used
to sneer at their English neighbors a.
drunken savagcs, but now the tables arr
turned. Gin drinking has declined in Eng.
land, end consumption Of the vicious ab.
sinthe has terribly increased in France. u
is suggested that the superior sobriety q
American workmcn gives them q great adj
vantage over European workmen who are
muddled with beer or unnerved by absinthes
But the superiority Of the American peo.
pie in this respect Is what accounts for .
great deal more.
The American people applying their in.
tell;gence to this matter are finding out
that the drinking habit is not good fof
them. In France, since 1900, some impor.
tant temperance reforms have been ef'
fected. not by coercivc legislation, but By
abolishing the octroi or municipal tax .oS
Paris on wine, and by other measures fog
discouragilg the consumption OF absinths
and brandy.
