nnbv Cries by Telephone.

A West Philadelphia druggist who
recently became the proud father of
his first baby was called to Baltimore
the other day ON business trip. Early
in the afternoon the telephone bell in
his home rang, and his wife answered
the call Hubby was at the other end
in Baltimore. at seemed so funny not
to hear the baby crying" came the
voice over the wire, that | couldn't
stand it any longer. Can't you bring
him to the phone so can hear him 2"
Wifey woke the child up out of a sound
sleep, and he very accommodatingly
began to bawl at the top of his lungs
into the receiver while his mother held
him in her arms. This continued until
the baby had cried so cents worth over
the long distance wire. when the happy
father rang Off.-Philadelphia Record.

now Temptation Comes.
"Sin is a sweet poison" once wrote
Anthony Burgess. 1T tickleth while il
stabbeth. The first thing it does is to
bewitch, then to put out the eyes, then
to take away the sense Of feeling" 1t
is when the temptation is concealed
and hidden among attractive surround
ings that it has its greatest danger. The
mighty furred bruln Of the Rocky
mountains is not caught by the steel
trap lying uncOncealed in the opened
pathway. He shambles along, snitfs 1t,
pushes it aside with his paw, moves
round it or leaps over it, but when that
rap is concealed under the green grass
a short distance from the tempting
meat then the mountain bear has need
for fear. No sooner is the great paw
placed upon that harmless looking Gov
ering than the steel teeth of that trap
spring shut. The massive limb is held
in wise. and the great beast is as help
less as the murderer about to be exc
cuted in the prison yard. The wild
turkey will not stoop down of his own
accord and enter the small aperture of
the fatal trap, but after the hunter has
scattered along the forest path the
many grains of corn this wild fowl will
lower his head and eat and eat until
he is confined within the wire screens
from which he will be taken out to his
death. My brother and sister, are you
among those whom King Solomon des-
ignates as fools? Do you mock at sin
merely because it comes around in a
harmless way? The mere fact that the
highwayman crOuches behind the rock
makes his sudden attack the more dan
gerOus; the mere fact that the quick
sands look to the unpracticed eye as
strong as the rock under your feet
makes their invitations to step upon
them the more fatal.
Evil temptations should not be de-
rided. They assail a man ut his weak
est points of character They do not
try TO assault his impregnable citadel
or attack him at those points of his ma
ture that are protected by massive
walls, so high and thick that the heav-
lest of battering rams can only make
the slightest indentations, but they
try to destroy their victims by strategy,
by throwing them off their guard;
wounding Achilles not through the
but in the heel; conquering
Alexander the Great not with the
sword, but with the wine cup; destroy
ing Charles Stewart Parnell not with Il
mans gruff voice, but with wOman's
gentle arm; making Thomas Cranmer
sign his recantation not by the power
of argument, but by the power of fear.
1t only needs a comparatively light
blow between the eyes to stun the most
powerful animal which was ever driv-
EN- into the Chicago slaughter houses.
1t only needs one small sinful tempta-
ton TO appeal to us in the right way
to destroy any man unless he is upheld
by a divine panODly.
Milford chronicle., 1903-04-24
Sin Strikes the weakest Point.


Evil temptations always assail their
victims at their weakest points. Is
there any man foolish enough to think
that his character is so perfectly form
ed that there is no weak point in his
moral armor? A constructor who
would not try to strengthen his sag
ging girdeT is a criminal Awful was
the catastrophe when a few years ago
n great bridge across the river Seine
broke under the feet of the multitudes
merely because one of the iron links
snapped. Poor is the general who
would not be vigilant about the weak
est part Of his fortifcatiOns. 1t was
after the famous mine was eXplOd-
ed under the earthworks of Peters
burg that the Federal troops were able
to drive back Robert E. Lees forces
into Richmond And can it be that
with all your brain and force and past
experience you do not realize there is
some helplessness. some weakness, in
your nature? Have you never been
tempted in the past and Overthrown?
Can you not realize that you may be
tempted again in the future and over
thrown in the same way?
By being aware of and trying to
strengthen our weaknesses we are able
to supplement our strength. A well
known and thrilling story is told that
the engineer of the Holland dikes was
one night invited to party. That aft
ernOOn an awful storm arose. As the
hour drew near for the festival the
engineer wavered, but at last he said:
NO; l will 90 to the dikes, where my
Guty calls. My services may be need
ed there" When he arrived upon the
dikes, he found that under the cease
less bOmbardment of the seas some Of
the stones in one place had become
lOOsened and little water was begin
ming to trickle through. That little
stream was gradually growing larger
Over the walls the engineer went. He
tried to stop that hole first with stones.
Then he took off his coat and jammed
it into the lOOsened rocks. More
clothes!' he shouted. More clOthesw
And he made his men take Off their
SdLAuculSs anu at ldSl lue ulhtS were
saved. Had that water been allowed
to trickle on and had not the weak
part of the wall been strengthened all
the dlkes would have been swept away.
and thousands Of men. women and
children would have been drowned.
Solomon well said that when a man
with his moral weaknesses SCOTS at sin
he is fool. heard the reformed
John Cough. after he had been forty
years a teetOtaler. say: Rather than
eat piece Of mince pie favored with
brandy would cut off my right arm.
| would no more touch 1t. knowing my
physical and moral weakness for drink.
than | would be willing to touch
lighted match to a keg of gunpowder"
1t is sometimes more manly to run
from sin than it is to fight sin. God
gave US two feet as well as two fists
That means there are certain times
when we should fee from temptation;
that we should never allow ourselves
to be placed in a position where we
may be tempted. Temptation always
