THE STORY,

TODS servants are always fitted in
VI schools peculiarly adapted to pre-
pare for the special service it is de-
sired should be rendered. Uncon-
sciously perhaps the life moves for
ward to the point where the peculiar
mission to which the life is to be
called suddenly opens up. Like a
dream perhaps seems the call to the
new ministry, and yet as the back
ward glance is taken the one thus
called is forcibly struck by the fact
that the events and experiences of life
have peculiarly fitted for the new
work. Such consciousness of the
providential leading and preparation
for work is certain to deepen the
conservation and to give inspiration
for the work lying just ahead.
Let us call his name Joel. for so
shall he be worshiper Of Jehovah. -
Thus spoke Pethuel, the father. as
he took his little son to the priest to
have the Jewish ceremonial law OBJ
served and to give to the little life
the name that was to become great as
the accounting of God reckons great
ness.
Whether there was any thought in
the heart of the father as he stood
before the altar at the time of the
circumcision of his son that the bah,
would one day be called to the
prophetic office and would come with
his message of judgment and of prom

nor did he make any effort to direct
the life in the channels which would
specially prepare for a religious life or
service. He was a man, however.
who sought to instill into the heart
of his child true devotion to God
and to keep him free from the apos-
tate conditions all about. This was
the reason he had chosen the name
Joel and why he SO carefully instruct
ed the lad in the history of the people
of Israel, pointing out carefully how
Gods blessing had been upon the ma
ton while it obeyed him, but that
when there had been turning from the
pathway Of obedience to Gods law
there had been national disaster.
Thus early Joel learned to associate
prosperity with goodness and to hold
the deep conviction that the only safe
road for any one to travel was the way

JUMPING AT A CONCLUSION.
Marriage Did Not Follow the Nineteen

Rabbit Attacks a Horse.

SERMONETTE.
Drunkenness a National Curse.

Drunkenness National Curse.
Awake, we drunkards, and
weep; and howl, all ye drinkers
of wine, because of the new
wine; for it is cut off from your
mouth" A people given to
strong drink never can make a
strong nation.
lntemperance is nearly always
the forerunner of national decay.
Indulgence in strong drink de-
stroys the moral stamina of a
people and makes them an easy
prey to their enemies.
The drunkard will sacrifice
everything on the altar of his
passion. Note in the prophets
arraignment of the drunkards
of the nation the only reason
for their distress and remorse is
the cutting off of their supply
of wine. The peril of the ma
ton, the dishonoring of her
womanhood, and the ensIave-
ment of the children were as
nothing in comparison to their
consuming passion for strong
drink.
The recent declaration of the
Brewers association on the vir-
tues of moderate drinking and
decrying the evils surrounding
the drink traffic would be sub
timely ridiculous were it not so
diabolicalIy insidious. "Modera-
ton" Why there is no such
thing as moderation when it
comes to indulgence in strong
drink, as every nation has
learned to its sorrow when the
traffic has been permitted unre-
strained operation. From the
ranks of the boosted moderate
drinkers are constantly being re-
cruited the despised wrecks of
the army of drunkards. Drunk
ards are not always made in
generation. The seed sown by
the moderate drinker may not
bring forth its fruitage of ruin
through strong drink until the
third or fourth generation, but
bring forth its fruitage it does,
and the moderation of the father
or grandfather gives place to the
unchecked passion of the child.
"Therefore, also now, saith
the Lord, turn we ever to me
with all your heart, and with
fasting, and with weeping, and
with mourning; and rend your
heart, and not your garments,
and turn unto the Lord your
God; for he is gracious and mer-
ciful, slow to anger, and of great
kindness, and repenteth him of
evil" The life line of mercy and
love let down out of the gather
ing storm of Judgment in the
hope that some might repent
and be saved. Surely our God
does not desire the death of the
wicked, but would have all men
come unto knowledge of the
truth and be saved.

The Prophet. Joel-A ''worshiper of Je-

prophet to Judah, his period of ministry
coming probably in the reign of King
Joash, about $40 B. c. His father was
Pethuel and tradition assigns him to the
tribe of Reuben. His prophecy is COM
