RESCUE OF A DRUNKARO.
How Jimmy Was Led to Quit the Ac-
cursed Drink Habit.

DR.. c. L. Goodell, of New York, tells
this story: Jimmy was a member of
the church, but prosperity came to
Jimmy, and as he got money he for
got God. He fell into bad company
and began to drink; all his fortune,
an interest in a whaling vessel, went
down Jimmy's throat until he wasn't
worth dollar He had a place as
salesman in the fishing business, that
was all. He hadn't been in a church
for years, but | noticed him at meet
ing one night sitting on the back seat
Somehow my heart was drawn to-
ward the fellow, and he was moved by
the heartfelt interest that he knew
had in him. so he came week after
week. Sometimes he would be sober
and sometimes he would be so drunk
that | hardly knew if he could get out
of the church alone
One Sunday night Jimmy came in
and dropped heavily down in the back
seat. was in the pulpit and | said
to myself, He has either been drink
ing more tnan Usual or else there is
/ something going on. No. Jimmy is
sober enough SO that he knows what
is going on After the service was
over Jimmy had taken his place again
on the back seat. went to him and
threw my arm around his shoulder
and talked to him. He said, Doctor
! want it and | am going to turn over
a new leaf, but have got to have
just one more drink | said to him.
You want something to eat. Jimmy
He replied I guess you are right;
haven't had anything to eat today
| got him down to a restaurant where
they had nothing but tea and coffee to
drink. ordered black coffee and
beefsteak, and after he had eaten the
steak and drank two or three cups of
| coffee he began to feel quite like him
self, and he said, I feel better; |
guess | will go home now. | said, I
will 60 home with you At the front
steps he said goodnight. an
swered, I will 60 up with you to your
room and see you tucked into bed So
stepped in and tucked him in bed
and talked with him. and then went
home When he heard my feet echo.

self, Now the minister is gone. | will
put on my clothes and go down and
have a good time He got out of bed
and started TO put on his clothes
when all at once he stopped and said.
won't do it, | am a mean man. but
am not mean enough TO do that
After the minister was kind enough to
come clear home with me and tuck
me into bed, am not mean enough

next morning; for the first time in %
years he didn't want any liquor l

that Jimmy didn't want any liquor
and he didn't get any. He went on
day after day, and he didn't want any
liquor and he came into the meeting
