| 7. Never teach so as to arouse
the conscienbe.
People have been so scared that
they have died of fright. What
an awful death that would be. If
you are driving at night and you
observe that your neighbours
house is on fire, don't go bowling
and yelling up the walk like
lunatic, awakening all the neigh
bors, screaming Fire! Fire!!
Fire!!! Just alight from your
carriage and hitch your horse Sc
curely to post. Then stroll
leisurely up the front walk, OBJ.
serving the shrubbery and flower
bed and humming little snatch
of some familiar tune-oh, any
tune will do. Knock gently on
the front door, and if you fail to
awaken your neighbor, knock
again a little more Justify. When
he appears at the head of the
stairs and asks, Who's there?"
answer assuring1y, ITS ."Thcn
enter into conversation with him.
AS the flames shoot skywardand
make all out of doors as light as
day, talk of the health Of his FAM
lily, the crops, the weather and,
in fact, on any quieting topic. 2
Finally just the roof is about
to fall in with crash and crush
to death his wife and babies, and
the fire to cremate their mangled
bodies-don't get excited, but say
something like this: Brothers
pardon my plainness of speech,
and bear in mind I am not to
blame in the matter, and I hope
we may always be friends, even
though | make bold to tell you
plrinly that your residence is in
a state of conflagration."
Sleep is absolutely essential to
the we'll being of man. How
dreary this life and how wornand
weary the traveller if there were
no such thing as sleep, Remem-
Der the fire scene and when
preaching and teaching LET THE
PEOPLE SLEEP.
You've heard my words. If
you will follow my counsel %
you will always have the temper
ance question to talk about. CD
There will ever be drunken boys
and ruined girls as object lessons
to teach those that are not drunk
en- and ruined. Boys and girls
are plenty and always will be,
and we need object lessons. So
long as they are not your boys
and girls-don't worry. (3) You
willalways enjoy personal liberty
how sweet-and friends-oh,
how dear.
Time will pass and this COR
rupt sphere will grow old.
Preachers, teachers and temper
ance orators will always have an
interesting topic of discussion.
The governments of the earth
will grow opulent and Yoluptuous
as the gorge themselves with
the wine trod from the vintage Of
ruined homes, wrecked intellects,
blasted hopes and bleeding
hearts; and when the awakening
angel arouses to life the un-num-
bered millions who sleep, and sea
and earth shall give up their
dead, the Son of Man will call to-
Judgment world, dark, chained,
drowned, damned, in a bottom
less ocean of debauchery, pollu-
ton and death.
t my message and the thought
OF duty arouses you to the adop-
ton of opposite methods from
those outlined herein, to you, and
to the generations yet unborn,
there may arise-there shall
arise-hope aud plenty and free
dom and the dawn of better DAYS
and the fastening of the. Mile

by their votes, or closer than

the poor drunkard and to buy
his babies shoes and bread? In
answer, simply freeze the little
fellows by your looks and pass

question.

5. Teach temperance in the
proper time and way.
On Temperance Sunday talk
of Noah, the first drundard, and
keep the forces of discussion To-
Gated away back anywhere from
twenty centuries to one or two
centuries ago, Don't deal much
with modern, up-to date, strictly
ln-style intemperance.
There are many temperance
cranks in the world; don't be a
crank. Teach temperance on
Temperance Sunday, just after
the general election, but don t
talk it necessarily. Temperance
is a good thing, but we don't
want too much of it.
Now, sunshine is good thing
but if we have celler full of de-
caying vegetation the more sun
shine we have the more speedy
the decay. Keep the cellar dark.
Love is good thing, and a man
named Drummond declared that
in all the world he had never dis
covered SO good a thing as love,
but if one were to be loved to
death what a horrible death
'twould be to die.
Better not throw love around
too promiscuously. Some one
might get hit and die in awful
agony. So of temperance. It
is a good thing, but we don't
want too much of it. Temperance
is all right in the Sunday School,
but if we had whole cities and
townships and states and CONT
nents tull of temperance-it's
true everyone would have enough
to eat and towear, and homes and
education and prosperity, but it
would throw police officers out of
employment, and Jail turkeys,
shcriffs and lawyers. Moreover,
'twould close our beautiful in
sane asylums, and horror Of
horrors then would meet our
gaze in the cities, where there
were no saloons, the heart sick
ening sight of grass growing in
the streets. May that awful
time be far hence. No! No!l
don't give us too much of sun
shine or of love or of temperance.
6. Never mix religion and pol
itics.
If you give your boy stick of
dynamite and hammer it will
destroy the dynamite-and the
boy. If you mix religion and pol
itics it will result in terrible de-
struction-to the politics. Pre-
serve the politics of the fathers.
Remove not the ancient land
marks which our political daddies
have set.
Teach the boys to pray for
temperance, but don't talk much
about their voting for temperance
when they are grown. If you do,
you will lose caste. The class
may think you are crank.
This is also wholesome advice
for the preachers. Preachers are
ever teachers. Preachers and
teachers should never teach the
pupils to mix religionaud politics.
1t causes a loss of friendship; it
makes one unpopular, don't you
know.
Always reserve one day in the
year for a sort of temperance
holiday. Won NAV select anvdau

in his office writing letter to
his sweetheart, his face aGlow
with love and the certainly that
she was his, as he read and re-
read her last glowing words, he
was startled by the sudden clang
of the courthouse bell. At first
he did not move, only looking up
from his paper. Sometimes mis-
chievous boys rang the bell and
ran down the steps before any
one could catch them. But the
bell continued it's swift strokes
seeming to grow louder and wild
err every moment. He saw
man rush across the square, and
then the bell of the Methodist,
and then of the Baptist churches
joined their c1amor to the alarm.
He snapped the lid of his desk,
snatched his hat and ran down
the steps.
AS he reached the street he
heard the long, piercing cry of a
woman's voice, high, strenuous,
quivering!
"A lost child! A lost chi1dr'
What cry! He had never been
so thrilled and awed by human
voice. In it was trembling all
the anguish of every mothe rs
heart transmitted through the
centuries!
At the courthouse door an ex-
cited group had gathered. A
man was standing on the steps
gesticulating wildly and telling
the crowd all he knew about it..
Oyer the din he caught the name:
Tom Camps Floral
He breathed hard, bit his lips
and prayed instinctive1y.
Lord have mercy on the poor
old man! It will kill him!"
A great fear brooded over the
hearts of the crowd, and soon
the tumult was hushed into an
awed silence.
In Gaston's heart that fear be-
came a horrible certainty from
the first. Within half hour a
thousand white people we're in
the crowd. Castor stood among
them, cool and masterfu1, organ
izing them in searching parties,
and giving to each group the Sig
mails to be used.
In a moment the white race
had fused into a homogeneous
mass of love, sympathy, hate and
revenge. The rich and the poor,
the learned and the ignorant, the
banker and the blacksmith, the
great and the small, they were
all one now. The sorrow of that
old one-legged soldier was the
sorrow of all; every heart beat
with his, and his life was their
life, and his child was their
child.
But at the end of an hour there
was not a negro among them!
By some subtle instinct they
had recongnized the secret feel
ings and fears Of the crowd and
had disappeared. Had they
been beasts of the field the gulf
between them would not have
been deeper.
When Castor reached Toms
house the crowd was divided in
to the groups agreed upon, and a
signal gun given to each. If the
child was not dead when found
two should be fred-if dead. but
one.
He sought Tom to be sure
there was no mistake, and that
the child had not fallen asleep a.
bout the house. He found the
old man shut up in his room
kneeling in the middle of the
floor praying.
When CASTOR laid his hand
gently on his shoulder his lips

"Oh!-it's you, Charlier' he

sighed.
Yes, Tom; tell me quick.
Are you sure she is nowhere in
the house?"
"Sure!-Sure?" he cried in a
helpless stare. eyes, yes; I
found her bonnet in the spring.
I looked everywhere for an hour
before I called the neighbors."
Then, I'm off with the search
ers. The signal is two guns if
they find her alive. One gun if
she is dead. You will under
stand"
Yes, Charlie" answered the
old soldier in a PARKWAY tone of
voice, and don't forget to help
me pray while you look for her"
I've tried already, Tom, he
answered as he pressed his hand
and left the house. All night
long the search continued, and
no signal gun was heard. Torch
es and lanterns cleaned from
every field and wood, bywav and
hedge for miles in every direc-
ton.
Through every hour of this
awful night Tom Camp was in
his room praying-his face now
streaming with tears; now dry
and white with the unspoker
terror that could stop the beat
of his heart. His white hair
and snow-white beard were dis
heve11ed, as he unconscious1y
tore them with his trembling
hands. Now he was crying in
an agony of intensity:
AS thy servant of old wrest.

through the night, so, oh God
will l lie at thy feet and wrest1e
and pray! 1 will not let thee go
until thou bless me! Though
perish, let her live! have lost
all and praised thee still. Lord,
thou canst not leave me desc
1ate!"
From the pain of his wound
and the exhaustion of soul
and body he tainted once with
his lips still moving in prayer.
For more than an hour he lay as
one dead. When he revived he
looked at his clock and it was but
an hour till dawn.
Again he fell on his knees. and
again the broken accent of his
husky voice could be heard
wrestling with God. Now he
would beg and plead like child,
and then he would rise in the I'M
conscious dignity of an immor-
tai soul in combat with the pow
ers of the infinite and his lang
uage was in the sublime speech
of the old Hebrew seers.
Just before the sun rose the
signal gun pea1ed it's message of
life, One! Two! in rapid success
sion.
Tom sprang to his feet with
blazing eyes. One! Two! echoed
the guns from another hill, and
fainter grew it's repeated call
from group to group of the
SearcherS,

screamed at the top of his voice,
the last note of his triumphant
shout breaking into sobs. God
be praised! | knew they would
find her-she's not dead; she's a.

thy head!"
The tramp of swift feet was
heard at the door, and Castor
told him with husky stammering
voice:
She's alive, Tom, but uncon-
scious. I'll have her brought to
the house. She was found just
