The True Glory.

"The glory of the church is not its
gilded spires, its mumbling liturgies, its
crowds, its silken ease, the glory OF the
church" says the Central Christian Advo,
cate Meth of Kansas City, sis its Scared
heart and its heart weeping over those ITS
barred arm is trying to protect and save.
Ruskin has a message for the churches
which we wish were framed and hung
over the inner doorway of every church
under heaven. 1t is that the world expects
the soldier to be ready to suffer and even
to die at his post; it expects the doctor
to be ready to die at his post; and it has
an equal right to expect the church of the
Lord Jesus Christ to be ready to suffer and
die for the welfare of the world. When
the cynic looks out upon the discrepancies
between the sweet and roseate profession
of peace which so many make and their
falling away from that rugged and stanch
support of principle which marked the path
from Gethsemane to Calvary with drops
of blood. while the wolves keep right on
tearing the sheep, the cynic is apt to take
up the plant of Swinburne and cry out to
the Christ it, after all, His bitteyest crown
of thorns is not the conduct of His pro
fessed disciples? 1t is no credit to the
church that she arouses so little hatred
on the part of eyil-doers, of demagogues
and party masters; so little opposition
from the gambling hells and the saloons.
The tender Christ could yet say OF the
evil-doer. 'Ye are of your father, the
devil!' The politicians of His day plotted
against Him and CRASHED their teeth.
There is too little Of that now"

Mighty Aid to Success.

Complete temperance-that is, total alb
stinence from all poisons-is mighty aid
to success Life is too short, nowadays. to
souander time on the delirium of intoxica-
ton, or on the mind-clouding reactions
that follow the excitements Of every slim
ullnt-habt.
I'm sorry, amigo, but I've no time to
fuddle," DR.. Bence Jones, of London,
used to say. in declining the invitations of
convivial friends.
The truth probably was that he re-
ioiced in a pretext for absolute emancipa-
ton from a fe-blighting vice, for temper
ance need not limit its arguments to utlll-
tartan considerations. It's superior chances
of succezi extend to the pursuits of intelli-
gent votaries of pleasure.
During the bonanza period Of the Cali
fornia placer diggngs, the traveller, Ger
stacker, noticed that many miners, In
Guiding men who had gone exclusively IN
quest of fun, became temperate under the
inspiration Of good luck; they preferred
the river-bar to the rumbar, and avoided
designations that tended to mar their en-
jovment OF more pleasant pastimes.
The main objection to the use OF stlmu-
lants is. indeed, the fact that they defeat
The main purpose of their dupes. The
opium-eater, ike the dram-drinker, hopes
to trick nature out Of some extra enjoy
ment, and playing that trick is, in every
instance losing game. Its penalties. ont
weigh its pleasures; the net result OF the
experiment is a loss in happiness, as well
as in time and health.-Success.

The Saloon Cursed Town.

Localities might be pointed out in the
Northwest which were originally entered
by sturdy and industrious band OF pio-
neers. That their settlements should, IN
the course OF time. become the richest
gardens OF the Northwest, there seemed
to be every reason to expect. Yet such
has not been the case.
One Of the fertile sources of this curse
upon the community was the saloon. 1t
was built near the church. Saloon and
church formed the nucleus of village
which eventually had other saloons.
The SELDOM became a pleasant rendez,
vous for the young men. Here they could
meet a friend whenever they went to the
postoffce or to the blacksmith's shop, 1t
was frequented during most of their lels-
ure hours. and crowded upon election days
and Sundays. Habits, associations, tone
of conversation, ideas about men and al
fairs. ambition and purposes of life were
formed and nodded in the saloon.
Water will never rise higher than its
source. A generation will seldom exceed
the level of the influences by which it is
surrounded, and where the saloon Is the
high school of the community, we cannot
exnect the children to discredit their edu-
or.-Catholic Citizen.

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

Poem: How Easily Each is Given -
Which Will Make the Soul a Place OF
Isepose.
1t was only sunny smile,
And little it cost in the giving;
But it scattered the night
Like the morning light,
And made the day worth living.
Through life's dull warp wool it wove
In shining colors Of light and love,
And the angels smiled as they watched
above;
Yet it cost little in the giving.
1t was only kindly nod,
And word that was lightly spoken;
Yet not in vain,
For it stilled the pain
OF heart that was nearly broken.
1t strengthened faith beset by fears,
And cropping blindly through mists Of
tears
For light to brighten the coming years,
Although it was lightly spoken:
1t was only helping hand,
And it seemed of little availing;
But its clasp was warm,
And it saved from harm
A brother whose strength was failing.
It's touch was tender as angels wings,
But it rolled the stone from the hidden
springs,
And pointed the way to higher things,
Though it seemed of little awaiting.
A smile, word, or touch,
And each so easily given;
Yet one may win
A soul from sin.
Or smooth the way to heaven.
A smile may tighten the failing heart,
A word may soften pains keenest smart,
A touch may lead us from sin apart
How easily each is given!
