In the vision Of the Lord which

bottle of intoxicating drink is in itself
a bottle Of woes. Though We know
them, still let US refresh our minds

Miners Lives.

A dispatch from PottsvilIe states tha,
'in order to reduce the danger OF accidents
in the anthracite mines to minimum
and to assure steldier work by the men
the officials Of district No. will hereafter
discharge all miners who become incom.
petent by reason OF drink"
Such action ls common among railways
But owing to the laxty of miners lives,
the decision of district No. is an in
novation, and it il particularly interesting
because 1t was suggested by the employees
themselves.
These miners recognize the risk to their
own lives involved in the carelessness of
fellow-workmen befuddled by drink Their
own safety demands sObriety all along tho
line. Their course was dictated by sell
protection.
The lines are closing up against the man
who drinks. Employers everywhere are
realizing that the employe who gives a
part of himself over to slavery OF hquor
is not the man they want. They want a
full man not part of the time, but one who
is whole man with full sense all the
time
1t is becoming more and more impera.
tive every year that the man who has ser.
vices to sell should recognize these facts

Better Than Patience,

There is something better than trying
TO keep ones patience when hard pressed.
One who was dreading an interview on a
matter that promised friction, prayed be-
forehand that he might hold himself
well in hand and keep his patience For
few hours before the interview there
was an unexpected opportunity for low
ing fellowship with the persons involved.
When the time came for discussion. both
sides were so close together that the an.
ticipsted trouble failed to appear. The
next days prayer was. Lord help, me
mot 10 keep my patience, but TO keep my
love. S. Times.

Profitable Investment,

In 1879 it was communicated to the
British Government that the Khedive
lsmail Pasha, being in desperate need
of money. was willing to sell his 49,.
8O2 shares of stock in the Suez Canal
Company at fair price. Disraeli was
then Premier and he didn't hesitate a
minute. England paid S20.O00,OO0 for
the Khedive's holdings. or at the rate
of Sll3.00 per share, Since then the
dividends on its purchase have ag-
grey ted S24.O00.000. and to-day the
shares are selling at S700 each. This
shows a profit on the transaction of
SlO3, 600, 900.

Lesson Thoughts.
True friendship involves much mora
than mere affection; it means to seek
in every way the welfare of those
whom we love, even at our own cost !,
1t means also confidence in them, and
a real desire to crafty every proper
wish; in short. true friendship means
real. devoted service.
True brotherly love is not resent,
ful; does not hold grudge, hut waits
10 forgive and return good for evil.
