SEVEN SENTENCE SERMONS.
Where you are Is of no moment, but
only what you are doing there.
-Petrarch.
Self is the only prison that can eve1
bind the soul;
Love is the only angel who can bid the
gates unroll:
And when he comes to call thee, arise
and follow fast,
His way may lie through darkness, but
it leads to light at last.
Van Dyke.
While the cup OF blessing may, and
often does, run over I doubt If the
cup of suffering Is ever more than
filled to the brim.
George Macdonald.
The very first condition Of lasting
happiness is that a life should be full
of purpose, aiming at something out-
side self. Hugh Black.

But that the COMMON lot of man

Too many farmers breed the animals

ing them to sign temperance pledges,
and it is vigorously working for the en-
actment of laws against the sale of all
i~ntoxicants. Against this army in three
divisions is marshaled a great host I'M
der the banner of "self-interest"-a
banner that has never yet led to final
victory, and lever will, SO long as Goo
is on his throne.
The coming of the kingdom means
the going of the saloon.
The substantial union of all the moral
forces at present working in varied
ways for the promotion of temperance
is the next greatest step in this re-
form.
The powerful aid of the Roman
Catholic church is being lent, with in
creastng aggressiveness, to the cause
of temperance. This modern warfare
had as one of its pioneers and ablest
leaders a Roman Catholic priest, Fa-
Their Mathew, Of blessed memory.
The saloons end will come as soon
as he Christian church makes up her
mind that it should come.
There Is a common saying among
temperance workers that the first
liquor establishment to be closed is
the n tuate between ones own
chin and nose. Personal total absti-
perance progress.
Patriotism clasps hands with reli-
gion in the promotion of the practice of
abstinence: for intemperance is alike
the foe of state and church.

THE NEW WAR.
err Meeting Topic Of the Christian
Endeavor Societies.
BY T. ELLIS.

BY WILLIAM T. ELLIS.
There Is less noisy temperance agi-
sation in this country than there was
fifteen years ago.: but there is more
temperance work. The spasmodic and
at times hysterical method of dealing
with the liquor evil has given way to
quieter and more intelligent, though 40
less earnest purpose. Sentiment on
the subject among Christian people is
solidified and intensified. The temper-
ance cause has more and better
weapons to WELD than ever before, and
Is wiser In the welding of them. There
Is a quiet determination manifest on
the part of a resolute element In the
Christian church that 1.-The saloon must

A noteworthy sign Of the changing
public sentiment toward intemperance
Is the editorial crusade that a system
Of widely-read newspapers, all con-
trolled by one man, Is conducting
against strong drink. Thus, from many
unexpected quarters. the war for the
abolition of the liquor traffic Is receiv-
ing strong re-enforcements.
Praying women will yet overthrow
the powerful men whose business Is the
,debauching of young manhood.
Slowly but steadily the pubic con-
science is becoming more sensitive, and
more responsive to the appeals of truth
and brotherhood. The day will dawn
before millions now living die, when
an enlightened public spirit will refuse
to permit a traffic which, more than
any other legally appointed agency, is
wrecking the manhood of thousands of
the nations promising citizens.
Texas. a generation ago looked upon
as a place Of refuge for %outcasts and
criminals, today. in a majority Of her
counties. has put the sale of intoxI-
