One Glass Too-Much.

The Duke of Orleans was the eldest son
Of King Louis Philippe, and the inheriter
Of whatever rights his father could trans
nit. He was physically noble. His gener-
,us qualities made him universally popular.
One morning he invited a few Of his com
panions to breakfast. as he was about to
depart from Paris to Join his regiment.
In the conviviality of the hour he drank a
little too much wine. He was not in any
respect a dissipated man. But in that Joy

that is not the main purpose of the

of danger. And so 1t Is with Chris

U,e pos,tive Arruments.

1t is necessary TO lay stress upon the
fallacy of the negative attitude towards
truth, because that attitude is one of
the chief obstacles In the way Of win
ming souls for Christ. If we would be
soul-winners we must first of all get
rid of any tendencies we may have to
look upon things negatively and to pre-
sent them negatively to others, and
then we must help those we would
save to develop desire for positive
truth.
