ADVANTAGE OF NO SALOONS,
1t Shuts Wine and Strong Drink Out
of Sight.

Look not upon the wine when it Is
red Chat is, fermented)-when it
shows it's bead on the cup, when it
flows in beauty from the fiagon to the
cup, and from the cup to the throat.
This is n great advantage of pro-
hibtion. Even if old topers can find
the drink in hidden places, it is not
arranged attractively in show windows
before the gaze of boys and young
men; and in ~"nolicense" places, law
abiding people are less likely to put
intoXicants on their tables. In the
front store window Of a dealer in
wines and other intoxicating drinks, |
several times noticed during the past
winter placards displayed, upon which
were lettered the words: Come il
and look, you will not be expected
to buy" How like in sentiment and
a%ccordant in rhyme, l thought, to the
familiar ditty of my childhood: Twill

spider to the fly" Little Henry had
been very sick. When he was slowly
getting better, and was just able to
be up and about the room, he was left
alone a short time. His sister came in
eating a piece of cake. Henry's
mamma had told him that he must
eat nothing but what she gave him,
because it would not be safe for him
to have what other children did till
he was stronger. He was hungry; the
cake did look so good; he wanted very
much to take a bite Of it, and the
l.ind sister would gladly have given il
to him. Jennie" said he, you must
run right out of the room away from
me with that cake, and l will keep
my eyes smut while you go, so that ]

THE STORY.

TT WAS during the siege Of Samaria
i by the mighty Ben-Hadad, king of
Syria. For long, long months the city
had been shut within its strong walls
and the famine was pressing sore
upon the people. The scant supply of
provisions grew less and less and
finally those who had not gold and
silver to buy at eXorbitant prices
were unable longer to obtain food,
so that many died.
Awful was the suffering Of the peo-
pie, and dark and terrible were the
deeds which the people crazed by hun
gel were led to commit. 1t was no
uncommon thing to hear of the eating
of human flesh, the stronger prevail
ing over the weak and taking life
that the life of the other might be
sustained. Such was the condition
in the city CT Syria, where the king
of Israel dwelt.
And without the walls of the city
were four lepers suffering from the
scarcity of food, but missing the aw-
full sights and sounds which those
within the walls had to endure. Now
1t had been that during the early
months of the siege the friends of
these leprous outcasts remembered
them and cast food down to them
from the walls. These food supplies
which they had carefully stored and
used as sparingly as possible we're
finally exhausted, and then they realized
as never before that they were face
to face with death. They knew they
could not look for further help from
their brethren in the city of Samaria.
and they understood equally well that
the enemy encamped all around the
city would not listen to their cry for
bread.
Thus in their misery they sat wait
ing for death, and while waiting thew
talked over their helpless condition.
Surely we have fallen upon evil
days" exclaimed one, dolefully.
YEA, as though our condition was
not miserable enough there must be
added this that we perish with hun
ger" responded a second, drawing
his ragged mantle about his emaciated
form. And then he added with an air
of utter hopelessness: "But why
should we desire to live? Is not our
leprosy but a living death, ever now?o
starvation is but a quicker road to
the grave" grimly assented a third.
True, and we are well on our way
to the valley of dry bones," spoke up
the fourth, and by way of emphasis
he extended his arm which was mere
skin and bones, the white spots of lep-
rosy making it the more CHASTITY.
A deep and long silence followed
this round of comment from the four
forlorn outcasts. From their place
without the walls the cries and groans
and curses from within could be faint
ly heard, and occasionally a figure
could be seen passing along the top
of the ramparts Of the city far above
them. Far out across the valley could
be seen the tents of the Syrians glis-
tening white in the last rays of the
afternoon sun. Long months they had
been there, until the sight had be-
come monotonous and uninterestiny.
and to-day, as on other days, these
four lepers let their eyes wander out
in that direction, because they had
nothing better to do.
Smoke could be seer curling up laz-

SERMONETTE.
S~eif-help leads to God-hel

Self-help leads to God-heIp.
The limit of human endeavor
marks the horder,and of Gods
power.
We must do before we can
discover what God has done.
Many a soul is furnishing in is-
norance of the plenty which
God has provided just outside
the closed gate of the will.
Realization of a desperate
condition is the first step in the
direction of deIiverance.
The one cast out by men may
become the messenger of God.
The depth of human need is
often Gods recruiting ground.
The discovered good thing
may become a curse unless II Is
shared with others suffering a
like need.
God can make the food of the
enemy feed his famished chill
dren.
God can turn the famine into
a feast every time.
Samaria turned the lepers out
to die, and the lepers returned
with a message of life. Evil was
returned with good.
Gods blessings are best en-
jcyed when passed along.
Bearers of good tidings al
ways find doubling hearts to
question the truth of their re-
ports.
The doubling heart is always
ready with its plausible theory
as to why it should not believe.
The doubling heart misses
many a blessing at Gods hands.
1t was a simple test which the
servants of the king suggested
to prove whether the message
of the lepers was true. 1t was
just "iet US send and see."
THIS is the appeal Of the Psalm
list when he cries to the doubt
ing heart. "Oh taste and see
that the Lord is good" Jesus in
vitation to the first inquiring
disciples was: "Come and see"
When Nathaniel doubted that
the Messiah had come out of
Nazareth, Philip responded with
the simple test: "Come and
see." The woman who met
Jesus at the we'll cried to her
fellow toWnsmen of Sychar:
"Come and see," and this is the
simplest, the quickest and the
surest way Of proving that
Jesus has delivered the soul be-
sieged by sin and has spread a
feast for those who hear the
glad tidings and "Come and
see."
