An Infders Sermon to Preacher.

Never shall | forget the remark of n
learned legal friend who was at one
time somewhat skeptical in his views.
Said he to me:
Did L believe, as you do. that the
masses of our race are perishing in sin.
L could have no rest. l would fly to
tell them of salvation. | would labor
day and night. l would speak with all
the pathos | could summon. 1 would
warn and expostulate and entreat my
fellowmen to turn TO Christ. and re.
ceive salvation at His hands. l am as.
tonlshed at the manner in which the
majority of you ministers tell your
message. Why, you do not act as il
you believed your own words. You
have not the earnestness in preaching
that we lawyers have in pleading. If
we were as tame as you are, we would
never carry single suit"
A decade of years has passed away
since that remark was made | bless
God it was addressed to me. 1t put fire
into my bones which ] hope will burn
as long as | live. God preached a
stirring sermon to me that day by the
mouth of that infdel lawyer.-Peter

Life is Constructive.

\ certain evangelist is using card
on one side of which is the question.
What must L do to be saved?" and
following it are the Scriptures which
point out the way of salvation. On the
other side of the card is the question.
What must | do to be lost?" and the
answer follows. Nothing"
The reply is simple but wonderfully
impressive. Many think that in order
to be lost they must run The log gamut
OF vices and be aggresslvely bad. Not
so. We are all bad enough to miss the
Kingdom in spite of the good points we
may have.
Life is an active. constructive force
1t is likened unto living temple or
unto vine. 1t must therefore be built
up, and unless there is activity there
is no building. Unless there is active
goodness there is no character, and un.
less there is character there is no sal.

AN OLD TRICK
How Son of the Emerald Isle Upheld
HIS Nations Pride.

Irishmen stand high in the regard of
Admiral Schley. He likes to tell stories
Of the indomitable, reckless pluck of
the Irish. Thus, at dinner that Col.
Mcclure, of Philadelphia, gave in his
honor, he said:
"An American merchantmen once lay
in Dutch port, and number of
Dutch sailors came aboard TO have a
chat with our men.

The sailors tried to outdo one another
in athletic tricks. The honors for q
long while lay with the Americans.
but finally a Dutchman climbed to the
very top of the mainmast and there
stood on his head
"The Americans spirits fell at once.
1t was plain that the Dutch had out
done them. They looked at one an
other sheepishly. They were silent
and ashamed.
Suddenly young Irishman leaped
to his feet
"Begobs," he said, 4 won't let that
fat Dutch beat me-
And the reckless fellow ran like a
monkey up the mast and got ready
to stand on his head. He put his head
down and gave a push with his legs
The first push wasn't hard enough, and
he dropped back. Up went his legs
again. But the second push was too
hard, and he fell heels over head. His
back struck the first rope, his legs the
next, his neck the next, and so on,

"'Do that, he shouted Immediately
and he looked triumphantly at the
Dutchman.
"All the sailors crowded round him
and priased his pluck and agility
warmly.

To Keep Tin Miikpails Clean.

A housewife who uses tin milkpails
knows what a difficult thing it is TO
keep them sweet and fresh. No

will do it. A well known writer on

following rule; Scald the pals every
day with boiling water and a little
baking soda. Then rinse them with
pure fresh water and place them in the

The Dangers of Indulgence. Prov. 23:
29-35: lisa. 5:22.25.
Some Bible Hints

If we never look upon a temptation.
we are in no danger from it: 1t is
the man that stops to look that is in
peril.
The wise man learns to consider
everything with regard not to its
beginning, but its ending, and asks
at the opening of every road, "Whith.
er does 1t lead?"
Why Go men call il strong drink
when it leads to nothing but weak.
ness. and captures only weak men?
The more worthless a thing, the
more rapidly and easily does fire con-
sumo it; one way to combat the fire
of sin Is to toss the chaff out of your
nature.
Suggestions.
When we say "Once more-and
this is positively the last time" it is
not the last time.
When we indulge in any sin let
us remember that it is not an indul-
gence of ourselves alone; it is an in
diligence of Satan.
The danger of any sin is not in
the possibility of greater sin. but in
the sin itself, which may fix us in
evil.
The Indulgence of the mind. of de-
sire ana 'brooding, is as perilous as
the indulgence of the deed itself.

The man who tried how close to
the precipice he could drive, discover

Temperance Training.
A society temperance pledge may
be hung upon the wall, with the sig
natures of all the members upon it.
Plan for the temperance meetings
long in advance. and make them as
strong as possible.
Introduce into every temperance
meeting some account of recent tenn
perance victories. and the progress
of the movement
Learn what are the temperance
laws of your own State and communi-
ty, and how they are kept.
Why should not the temperance

ance of the candidates before the
people for election?

Mrs. T. Fl. Holton entertained informal- ly at a linen shower yesterday after noon in honor of Miss Edith Lathrop, one of Birmingham's most charming young ladies, who will be married to- morrow evening to MT. James Arthur Smith.
 The gifts of linen were both beautiful and numerous and the amount of deli- cate handiwork bespoke the warm affec- ton accorded Miss Lathrop by wide circle of friends.
 Mrs. Motion and Miss Lathrop receiv- ed the guests in the reception hall. The gifts were all in the sitting room.
 Delightful refreshments were served in the dining room and each guest had as a souvenir a tiny Japanese umbrella tied with linene thread. One of the features of the afternoon was Miss Lathrop being asked to stand in the archway between the reception hall and the sitting room, where five little girls pulled yellow rib- bons attached to tissue paper bag con- taining linen ravelings and scraps which fell over the brides head, completely carrying out the idea of linen shower" Mrs. Motion wore a dainty white gown and Miss Lathrop's gown was of pompa- dour silk.
 Although the affair was very informal 1t was one of the most thoroughly enjoy able of the seasons entertainments.
