The old man saw there was nothing

For the remainder OF the voyage they

was to come. When the vessel arrived
at Sunderland. the crew marched up
In n body to the custom house and re-

herrings.
Then the captain cursed his friend
and his delicacies.

again ut the top Of his voice to his

The men who had been engaged in

called the skipper selfish old devil

they Withdrew under the shelter OF the
forecastle and plotted. That night they
stole at least fifty of the behring's. The
skipper lizard them as he lay in his
bunk stealthlly creeping about aft. but
he smiled to himself. for he knew their
little ways.
Next morning he stormed and swore
In a simulated passion Of rage; but. al

from each when the question OF her

Danger of the Drink Habit

Alcohol is the poison-principle In all
liquors produced by distillation or fer
mentation. To say that a drink is in
toXicating" is to say that its essential
note or quality is poison-"toXicum''-
and its consumption ultimates in death
though use in small quantities may
comport with apparent health and long
continued life. This does not initiate
against the fact that alcohol. if not
lethal in immediate result, is a mar
cotic, affecting the organ of mind.
The act of drinking intoxicants, then
in its last analysis, gauged according
to highest ethical standards, involves
mind-suicide, and this, though insanity
may not be Immediately produced in
its darkest phases. Every man who
drinks, or gives an intoXicant to others
to drink. imperils the integrity of his
mental life and plays with his moral
nature, in defiance of the fundamental
law of the moral realm, that it is the
supreme duty of manhood to maintain
intact all the conditions of moral re
sponsi bility.
No man has right to tamper with
his mind in such way as to reduce or
overthrow his moral liability, leopard
iZing the normal exercise of his will
in self-control; yet thousands of men
more or less deliberately drink for the
purpose of benum bing the mental fac
ulty and destroying or impairing the
moral force.

Golden Truths.

Beauty is the expression of God ,
love for His creatures.
The man who boasts of his piety has
very little of which to boast.
Everyone knows what pleasure is,
but only the Christian knows joy.
Happiness Is never found without
content, and resignation brings con-
tent.
more clearly we see our own imper

The reason that some good people
are not happy is because they are not
good enough.
The Bible is not text book for de-
batting clubs, but guide to the practi-
cal duties OF life.
1t is natural for US to gravitate to-
ward evil. One does not need help to
roll down an incline.
Pleasure is predicsted of anything
that pleases and gratifies the senses
but Joy comes from the highest "a

In ourselves we have not the power
to overcome the forces of evil which

Temperance.

One of the greatest armies of temper
ance reformers in the world breaches
its doctrine daily in our midst by ac-
ton, and not by precept or sermon;
but few OF the thousands who travel up
and down the railways of our country
ever stop to consider this silent force
which has become stronger in its ex-
ample and power for good than all the
temperance organizations. There are
several million men employed in vari-
GUS capacities on the railways of the
United States, and of this considera BILE
army fully fifty per cent occupy re-
sponstb1e positions which render their
work Of a peculiarly public character
The engineers, fremen, switchmen and
train diSpatchers are daily responsible
for the lives and property of great
numbers, and to prevent mistakes,
which might cause great disasters, ev-
cry possible precaution is taken to
eliminate errors.
The discipline of the railways en-
ployes OF the country is probably
stricter, and better enforced, than in
any other line of work. A number of
years ago temperance was not strictly
enforced on trainmen, but the engi-
neers were compelled to report for

train was waiting for orders. But to-
day not only temperance, bat almost
teetotalism, Is enforced on our leading
railways. especially among engineers,
firemen, swttchmen and train dispatch
ers and conductors. The managers of
the railways found that many of the
accidents were due to drink among the
employees, and. after considering the
problem for few years, the man who
could not get along without drinking
was gradually forced from the ranks OF
the railway employees. To-day these
workmen represent the largest and
strongest army OF upright, sober, in

Weekly Lay Sermon.

Behold, have played the fool, and
erred exceedingly Samuel XVI, 81.
The man who departs from the
straight path and takes up his abode
with the wicked may hope, for time.
to escape the just consequences of his
acts. But his cunning in concealing
from the world his deeds and his belief
that the inevitable is not for him, is
the belief of fool and in his folly he
perisheth. Behold, have played the
fool and erred exceedingly" and in
the train OF his folly disgrace and dis
aster and death follow. The criminal
hides his head and fondly believes
that not alone his body, but his crimes
are concealed. He raiSeth his hand
against every man, not remembering
that we are children of Our Father,
but murmuring against his lot and for
getting that as we do in this world SO
it shall be meted out to us in the next.
But a companion of fools shall be
destroy xiii, 10.
And their folly with them. In the
wisdom Of the world is folly, and to
those who believe in the world and its
works shall the need of folly be
awarded. Injustice may survive for
time, crime may be successful, in
iquity may flourish, but the winnow-
ing Of the chaff from the wheat is GER
tain to come, for it has been promised
by him who holds the universe in the
hollow of his hand.
For the wages of sin is death.-Ro-
mans, vi, %.
And from the payment of that wage
none can hope to escape. There may
be days and weeks, and months, and
years to lapse, but the Lord OF the
vineyard, who pays to him who comes
at the eleventh, even as he pays to
him who comes in the first, hour, will
judge all men according to their
works. To the worker of iniQuity, to
the violent man, to him whose hands
are red with blood and to him who
violates the home shall the wage Of
sin be paid-and the wage is death.
Every wise woman buildeth her
home, but the foolish plucketh it
down with her hands.-Proverbs
xiv, 1.
No more bitter lesson of the truth
of the words of the inspired writer
could be given than is given in the
tragedy Of the murderers who have
fallen by the hands of the officials of
the law-the avengers of blood-and
with them there was one of the foolish
women. who, with her own hands.
hath plucked down her home.
The miserable example should not
be lost. nor should mankind forget
that the wages of sin is death

Where One Can Find Peace.

The ages-old goal of all the world
is peace. Where can peace be found?
Does it hide in a treasure house Of
gold. 1t is wrapped into honor's lau-
rel wreath? May it be pursued and
captured by the unbridled horses of
passion? Does it come to those who
in idleness await it? In all these ways
men have tried, and still are trying to
find peace, but never with success.
Some have secured limitations, which,
for the moment, deceived them into
the belief that they had found the real
thing, but the delusion was short
lived. Where, then, can peace be
found? The answer comes in the
words of him who lived in the serenest
life amid the stormiest surroundings.
Peace l give unto you" Peace, then,
is the gift of Jesus Christ to his
friends. 1t is his dying beQuest to
those who love him. The deep, abid-
ing and ineffable peace, which the
world can not understand or take
away, is the peculiar possession of
Christ.

Whisky in IndiaN Territory.

The temperance question is growing
in importance daily in the Indian Ter

forth every effort to establish saloons.
If these are established it will ruin a
