rove Faith by Works.

The prayer that has power with GOD
must be prepaid prayer says the ven
cradle DR.. Cuyler. If we expect q
letter to reach its destination we put
a stamp on it; otherwise it goes to the
Dead Letter Office. There is what may
be called a Dead Prayer Office. and
thousands Of well-worded petitions get
buried up there. All Of Gods promises
have their conditions. No farmer is
such an idiot as to look for q crop OF
wheat unless he has plowed and sowed
his fields. In prayer we must first be
sure that we are doing our part If we
expect God to do His part. When a
minister was called on to pray in q
missionary convention he first tossed
a coin into the plate, and said: Il
cannot pray until I have given some
thing" He prepaid his prayer. For
the churches in these days to pray,
THY kingdom come" and then spend
more money on jewelry and cigars than
in the enterprise Of foreign missions,
looks almost like a solemn farce. God
never defaults: but He requires that
we prove our faith by our works, and
that we never ask for a blessing that
we are not ready to labor for.

Girls, Salute the Flag.

The Bayonne o.. j. Political Study
Club, of women, has asked a number
of military men how a woman should
salute the flag.
A man salutes-or should salute--by.
raising his hat, Il he is in civilian dress.
This 4 woman ordinarily cannot do.
General Miles suggests that she should
"place the right hand across the breast,
with the middle finger pointing to the
left shoulder, and slightly bow the
head"
Others suggest a courtesy, a bow,
n standing salute, or even the dropping
Of a handkerchief. Bat is there any
better suggestion than that upon which.
ex-Secretary Long and Admiral Dewey
practically agree?
That is: Raise the right hand to the
forehead Tor hat brim), stand thus IN
til the colors have passed, then drop the
hand. This has the merit Of being
distinctive and military.

All Had Stopped.

An amusing little scrap of conversa-
ton was overheard in q certain mar
ket hall recently.
In response to q question as to the
time of day one old dame rather rude
~ advised her companion to look at
the clock"
Il have done So" was the reply,
IAN it's stopped"
Stopped" calculated the other,
glancing up in her turn. "Ay, 80 it is.
What's come to the clocks? I've one
at home, an it's stopped too. There
must be q hepidemic among clocks
just now"
"Eepidemic, indeed" came the re-
Spouse. You ought to come, to my
home, Mrs. B., an then you might talk
about hepidemics."
What? Is your clocks stopped as
we'll"
"Rather!" was the grim reply. 1--WE

Said Fifty Years Ago,

Probably you would say. break up
all these filthy and low haunts, all
these places where the habitually in
temperate, the degraded, the wretch
eddy poor. ~congregate, and let these
beverages be sold only in respectable
places and to respectable people! But
is this really the best plan? On the
contrary, it seems quite reasonable to
maintain that it is better to sell to the
Incorporate than the sober, to the de-
graded than to the respectable, for the
same a that it is better to burn
up the old hulk than to set fire to a
new and splendid ship. I think it
worse to put the first glass to a young
mans lips than to crown with mad
ness an old drunkard's lifelong aliena.
tion-worse to wake the fierce appe-
tite in the depths of a generous and
promising nature than to take the car
rion of q man, a mere shell of imbecil-
ity, and soak it in a fresh debauch.
Therefore, if 1 were going to say
where the license should be granted in
order to show it's efficacy, 1 would say:
Take the worst sinks of intemperance
in the city, give them the sanction of
the law, and let them u to>oyerfow.

where youth takes its first draught,
and responsibility just begins to falter

The Making of a Christian: His Food.

The Making of a Christian: His Food.
BY AMOS B.
In Hawthorne's wonderful story,
"Rapacini's Daughter" he describes
q chemist who. in the study of poisons,
had a garden full Of lovely but poison
GUS flowers, to whose breath. in a
fendish experiment, he exposed for
years his beautiful daughter. The girl
became so i~mpregnated with the poison
that her own breath was deadly to any
living thing.
This is a true picture of those that
breathe the selfish atmosphere Of the
world and eat it's noxious food. They
are poisoned by it, and become poison
in their turn. There is but one
antidote, as there is but one substance
that will build a soul up in true man
illness; and that is the Bread Of Life;
it is communion with Jesus Christ.
Eating is a condition Of living. Who
ever or whatever is not eating has
ceased to live. Sturgeon illustrates
the truth thus: IF anybody were to
say to me, I have a man at home who
stands in my hall, and has stood there
for years, but he has never eaten a
mouthful of bread all the time, nor
cost me a penny for food I should
say to myself, oh, yes, that is q bronze
man, I know, or a plaster cast Of a
man. He has no life in him, I am
sure; for if he had life in him he would
have needed bread" Yet many 90
called Christians are just such men.
Others, on the contrary, are illus
trated by the story Of an old Scotch
baron, who, shut up in his castle, with
stood a long siege that should have
starved him out. At last the enemy
were surprised to see a great string
of fresh fish hung over the castle wall.
That was a token that the castle
could not be taken by siege while
there we're fish in the ocean, for 1t
had subterranean connection with the
sea. Thus exhaustless are the Chris
tian's supplies of food, and no siege
of Satan need cause US to surrender.
There are two ways by which the
soul is fed with this mysterious Bread
Of Life. One is by direct communion
with Christ in prayer, the other is by
reading the Bible in such a way as to
build its truths into our lives.
Once a little Roman Catholic boy,
attending a Protestant Sunday-school,
came to know and love the Bible. His
priest discovered it, and made him give
it up. The boy was very reluctant
but at last obeyed, saying, however,
as he did so, II thank God you cannot
take from me the twenty chapters I
learned by heart."' That is the way to
profit from the Bible-store it away in
the heart.
And let US remember, in thinking
about the Bread Of Life, that we are
not to eat it with thought for ourselves
alone.
Bread of Heaven! on Thee / feed.
Tor Thy flesh is meat indeed;
Ever may my soul be fed ..
With this true and living bread.
That hymn gives only half the truth.
AS Dods says: 1.-THE habit grows upon
US of expecting rather to get good than
do good. We feed too little on the
bread from Heaven to have strength
for helping Others" We, also, like
Christ, must give ourselves freely "for

THE GREAT DESTROYER
SOME STARTLING FACTS ABOUT
THE VICE OF lNTEMPERANcE;

The Despotism OF Alcoholism is the
Msnance Threatening Christendom in
tho Twentieth C~entury-Only Cooper.
alton Can Overthrow 1t.
The morning Of the nineteenth cen
tury saw the peace Of all Europe men,
aced by one man and his armies. When
the nations came to realize thnt sepa-
rately they could not overthrow this
enemy, and that they must drop all d.
visive j%ealousies and combine in one
harmonious whole with an unbroken
front, success crowned their arms and
Napoleon, the representative Of the
military despotism Of that age, was IT.
r%etrievably banished to st. Helena.
The despotism of alcoholism is the
menace threatening the civilization Of
the morning Of the twentieth century.
During the last twenty-five or more
years many different forces have been
working independently in this country
against this evil.
For more than twenty years the pub
lie schools of America have been teach
ing its millions of children that science
shows that alcohol is by nature a
poison that Injuries the individual NEIL
tally, morally and physically, and
hence greatly impairs his working abil-
ity. Business has taken this hint, and
consequently total abstinence has be-
come an industrial question. The
churches and Sunday-schools have
pressed the anti-alcohol question from
the moral side until spiritual awaken
ing and interest in the. temperance
question 60 hand in hand in this coun-
try as well as in Wales, as shown in
its great revivals. The temperance So
cieties have presented the social and
political aspects of the subject.
AS a result of all this, there is a vast
and steadily increasing amount of SEN
timent in this country against the use
and sale Of alcoholic drinks. Whoever
can read the signs Of the times sees
nothing more plainly written in exist
ing public conditions than the fact that
the hour has come for the unifcation
Of all temperance forces and for their
focalization on the saloon. Every
movement in the direction of such
union that implies no sacrifice Of princi-
pie is a definite promise of the day that
will dawn on America with no saloon,
not many decades after all the temper
ance forces unite in making and focal
izing the public sentiment that will not
tolerate the use and sale Of this de-
structive beverage poison.
During tie past ninety days, fifty
nine Ohio villages have voted on the
saloon question. Forty-pne Of them
outlawed the saloon; 127 rum shops
closed their doors with a slam and a
curse. Cooperation did the business.
Instead Of disputing as to which would
sit on the right hand of the throne in
Heaven, the Prohibition party and the
Anti-Saloon League co-operated. The
result was Victory with a big "V."
Had they not co-operated, the result
would have spelled d-e-f-e-a-t-all let
tiers lower case.
