"As he thinketh in his heart. so is he"
Prov xiii, Z.
There are certain passages of Scrip
ture, of which this is one, whose real
significance is at last being discov-
cred.
In a vague and general way we
always believed that a mans thoughts
possess a kind Of creative energy, but
we have not appreciated the practical
value and Importance of this fact. We
have simply glanced at it and then
passed by on the other side. The
rough diamond was under our very
feet, and we every day trod on the
spot where it lay, but not until re-
cent years has any one picked it up
and polished it and shown us its ra-
diant beauty.

BX-Sheriff Charles Dunn. Jr.. in an
address at Standish, Me. gave some
striking evidence showing the decad.
ence OF the liquor traffic in that state
Fifty years ago he said, when the
Maine law was first enacted. there
began to be determined opposition
70 its provisions on the part Of those
who had financial interests affected
by II. Men had grown rich from tbe
traffic and in some instances the for.
tunes thus gained. were spent seeking
70 eyade the law. There has grown
up in Portland a race Of opponents to
the Maine lava distinct class Of
law evaders, many Of whose fathers
and grandfathers fought the same
fight that they are fighting to-day for
what many of them consider an in
alienable right to sell liquor.
They were prolific and hardy race
keen and resourceful; looking upon
officers of the law as their legitimate
prey for either bribery. intimidation
or even personal violence. Nothina
to my mind more forcibly illustrates
the power and efficiency Of the Maine
law than the decadence Of these peo-
pie. Fifty years ago they were rich
and powerful owning houses and
lands, business blocks and even brew
cries, all won from the earnings OF
the people in traffic that impoverished
others while 1t prospered them. To.
day they are but a feeble remnant
precariously engaged in their old time
business, fighting the officers and
dodging the courts.
Their localities are the haunts OF
vice and crime, aud when the sheriff
talks to YOU about liquor being sold
in the homes, and of children being
engaged in the traffic, he ought ia
have explained tosyou, for he knows,
as | know, that these -so-called homes
are not tho abodes of domestic virtue
and happy family life, but the slum
homes that are the curse of every
populous town, and the children are
the offspring Of the depraved and
criminal classes. born into the world
with heritage of woe.

Conscience is one Of the worst lodg-
ers to have in your house. When he
gets quarrelsome, there is no abiding
with him--ill at lying down and equal
ly troublesome at rising up. A guilty
conscience IS one of the worst curses
of the world. 1t puts out the sun and
takes away the brightness from the
moonbeam, A guilty conscience casts
a noxious exbalation through the air,
removes the beauty from the land
scape. the glory from the flowing river,
the majesty from the rolling floods.
There is nothing beautiful to the man
who has a guilty conscience.-C. H.
Spurgeon.

The spirit Of simplicity is a great
magician. 1t softens asperities, bridges
chasms, draws together hands and

the fatal barriers Of position, interest

can we do so much as by becoming
interested, intelligent workers. 1t
seems strange that there should be a
woman who is not interested when
she sees the danger that may come
to her own home and must come to
many homes. The only reason | can
think OF is that in our love for our
homes we fail to look outside. We SO
love our children. we so trust them
we come to believe they are too good,
too strong to ever so fall.
Yet thousands just as good are going
down to drunkards' graves every year.
We as mothers can help by carefully
warning our children and by making
home SO pleasant the boys will not
want to seek amusement outside.
We should see that our daughters
associate only with young men of good
habits.
There is no other force equal to a
mothers influence. A mother should
ever be her sons trusted friend.
But women must do more than work
Tor their own homes. They must care
for the unfortunate ones who have no
home worthy Of the name. In our
Loyal Legions and among our "Y's"
we can reach and save many. We
can help in our Sunday schools. We
can speak kind word when we meet
them on the streets or when they
come to our homes as errand boys or
when we see them in business places.
A kind word given to a poor. discour-
aged clerk may put strength in him to

temperance papers and reading them
so we can learn what to do by know
ing what is being done elsewhere. We
are too ignorant as to methods. We
can help by attending meetings. when
the weakest Of US can read a short
selection or say few words.
We can help by giving our money
to help those who give all their time
TO the work. And last, but not least,
we can help by our prayers.
