A Canny Preacher.

Major Pond was a discreet man, but
he occasionally told one celebrity o
good story at the expense of another
One of his favorite stories was of an
American preacher who preached In
England under his management.
The sermons attracted greater audi
ences than either manager or preacher
had expected, and at length. one night
As manager and managed sat talking
npon the steps Of a great London
church after the delivery OF success
ful sermon In neighboring hall. the
dissatisfied preacher struck for higher
wages. and brought such arguments
to bear that the manager felt 1t neces.
sary to yield.
It was costly talk for Major Pond,
but he keenly enjoyed the humor Of
the situation and took great pleasure
In picturing the great preacher seated
In the moonlight upon the cathedral
step bargaining for higher pay Tor

no very harIr ronious results OF opinion,
Or, Norman Kerr for one, declares that
little progress will be made in the way o!
decreasing drunkenness until it is recog

moral weakness. 1t is because this fact has
not been realized, he says, that no result
of all labors in tho line of legislation havs
accrued. Evidently Dr. Kerr begs the
question TO this statement. Legislation
cannot do everything to offset the runs

The Hard Life.

The sinners life is hard life in its
penalties. He who sows a sin sows a
seed which will spring up and bear fruit
after it's kind: The sowing men call pleas.
ure. but the harvest all agree is suffering
It is a hard life to suffer for old sins. and
harder still to see others suffer For no
man can SOW evil and be sure that none
OF it will ripen in his neighbors fields. To
reap the evil harvest is bad enough. but
to see it ripening in the lives of those
we love is harder yet. Our increasing
knowledge has only emphasized this GER
tainty of penalty following transgression.
The warnings OF the book are continually
illustrated in the experiences OF the world.
The transgressor's life is hard in it's
deDrivatiors. The question is sometimes
raised whether the sinner does not, after
all, get more out OF the world than the
true disciple He who has turned from
evil to live with God never raises that
question. He knows that the earth with,
out peace of heart, without joy in right
and sympathy and good. without the hap
piness g; Gods presence and delight or
service, is a hard and narrow and unhappy
place, The true and full inheritance OF
the earth belongs to the children of God
and to no others. To be self-deprived of
the highest and the best is to be cheated
OF what makes our life worth living.
For back. also. in every transgressor's !
consciousness lies the hard trial Of self
contempt. He may not admit it to his
thought Conscience may be i'll educated
and under careful discipline, but in the
moments when be sees clear.y the sinner i.
selfjudged God has let us sit upon the
seat of counsel. and we see what value we
have put unon our souls in bartering with
evil. 1t is hard to fear to meet ones own
bought sitting as the Judge; to dodge and
shift and evade the nuiet hour that brings
self-condemnation. 1t is hard to be. amid
whatever, passing joys, !ithout God and
OF hope and so bright with the presence
Of our heavenly Father.-Congregat gational.

A Timely Warning.

The modern department store" withir
whose ample walls, inclosing acres OF
space, you can buy anything from shoe
string to an automobile, is certainly a
great convenience to the world OF shop
pers. But convenience can be carried too
far. 1t is already carried too far when 1T
places great and perilous temptation In
the path of those who should be especially
protected against allurements to evil
II has long been believed by those whs
have given the subject attention that in
temperance rs increasing among n class OF
women not until recently exposed to ths
danger of acquiring the drink habit The
ordinary saloon, with its vulgar associa-
tions, offers no attraction to n respectable
woman. She would not risk her reputa-
ton by venturing within its door. Even
the fashionable restaurants, where women
can be seen any day openly drinking in
toxicating liquors, have but limited
clientele. after all. But now come the de-
partment stores to supply the lacking Ia
cilites for Turing thought,ess women to-
destruction. Since they have taken ur
the vile traffic in liquors it is easy for N
woman who would not show her face in a
saloon to procure liquors without exposing
herself to the slightest obloduy. Many OF
the retail grocery stores offer the same iu-
sidious temptation, and through those two
agencies the sale Of intoxicants for family
use has enormously increased. That this
is cause for serious alarm is strongly
confirmed by a letter that has been shown
US from the New York State Excise COM
missioner, Mr. Patrick w. Cr,llinan, writ
ten to the Rev. Hervev Wood, field secre-
tary of the National TEMPERANCE Society,
Mr.. Wood wrote to Mr.. Cullinan for GER
tain information. and in his letter referred
to the interest that had been awakened IN
New York City by the increase of drunk
cnness among respectable women Mr..
Cullinun replied:
Owe desire to state that we have been
aware of the increase of drunkenness in
this respect, and have viewed with alarm
the growth Of this habit.
"We are inclined to believe that this
condition is due to the sources you men.
ton (the sale of liquors in department
stores and groceries), and possibly yor
might add drug stores to the list of places
where liquor NAV be obtained by women"
This is significant statement. Ii is nc

makes it. but sworn officer of the State,
writing in cold blood over his own sigma.
ture as Commissioner of Excise. IL hs
finds the situation alarming are not we
amply justified in so viewing it!
It is time that halt was called in thit
business. The sale of liquors should be
prohibited in every department store and
on a physicians certificate. No doubt il
is a source of great profit to the proprie,
tors Of these establishments. and an at
tempt to amend the excise law SO as to
prohibit it will unduestionablv arouse pow.
