Two Ways of Looking at 1t.

There is a young artist in Wash.
ington who classes himself as Of the
impressionistic school. and who, be-
ing somewhat out in drawing, gener'
ally makes up for his lack of tech
nlque by spreading color recklessly
and counting on distance for his ef'
feet.
At an amateur exhibition he once
hung one of his most extraordinary
performances.
Well" said a friend, whom the
artist had taken to see the work, u
don't want to fatter you, old chap,
but that is far and away the best
stuff you have ever done. l congrat.
ulate you"
Much pleased, the artist was re-
ceiving the compliment with becom.
ing modesty, when he CHANGED again
to glance at the picture-and turned
very red. The committee had hung
it upside down!
Hurrying to the head of the com.
mittee he vas about to launch into a
loud complaint when he was Informed
of the good news that an hour before
the picture had been sold for SCI,
The original price mark had been

When to Be Most Glad.

Has Christ become to US such a
living, bright reality that no post OF
duty shall be irksome, that as His
witnesses we may return to the quiet
homeside, or to the distant service
among the heather, with hearts more
than glad, more than satisfied, and
most glad, most satisfied, when most
sad. and most stripped, it may be, OF
earthly friends and treasures?
Let US put all our treasures into
His hand; then He will never need to
take them from US on account OF
heart idolatry; and if in wisdom and
love He remove them for a time, He
will leave no vacuum, but Himself fiji
the void, Himself wipe away the tear

Not the Same.

We cannot believe that the present
temperance movement Is Of the same
old spasmodic kind. No longer are
the prohibition sheep separated from
the drinking goats-both are work
ing together for a curtailment of the
evil power of the saloon. A man may
have been a moderate drinker all his
days, but that does not mean that he
can tolerate an institution which, in
It's insolent arrogance, has assumed
an attitude Of defiance to the law and
stops at nothing to make money. By
their own acts the brewers themselves
started the temperance wave which,
sooner or later, will engulf most Of
them. So eager have they been for
business that they, have backed up
anyone who would start a saloon or
Raines Law Hotel, no matter what
his character or the kind of place he
conducted. Too late they have seen
the folly Of this and their business
has suffered tremendously and Is
bound to suffer more. Whether or no
the bill prepared by the Committee
of Fourteen. and now before the Leg
islature, will pass, is a question, but
if it fails this session it. or a similar
one, will become law before long.
This bill Is a good a n as can be
drawn at present. 1t provides for a
gradual elimination of drinking re-
sorts until there are but one to every
m thousand Of. population. The
number Of rooms necessary for a
hotel to have is increased from ten
to twenty-five. These are the more
important changes in the present law.
It's provision to, allow saloons to be
open for certain hours on Sunday is
meeting with strong opposition. but
some such change is sure to come in
the near future, for it will not only
lessen the opportunities for police
grating. but will give to the people
the freedom Of action which they de-
mand.-Brooklyn Life.

THE Man she LOVED !

THAT child is pretty. Can you tell
me whose it ISL"
There was no answer from the
newcomer; and, as if drawn by some
powerful magnetic influence, Dorothy
turned round. AS her eyes rested on
the mar leaning against the doorway,
a sheer on his pale lips and a look of
triumph written over his curiously
beautiful face, she drew back invol-
UNFAIRLY and shivered with ague.
The man stood gazins at her for
several seconds; then lifting his left
arm-the right was suspended around
his neck in a sling-he pointed to the
baby, who was once more playing
with it's sticks and stones, needless
and ignorant of the drama being en-
acted above it's pretty little head.

Death Is Life.

Then familiarize your mind with
The inevitable event of death. IhlnK
of it as life! Gloomy though the
portal seems, death is the gate OF LIE
to a good and pious man. THINK OF
It, therefore, not as deatn, Dut as
glory-going to heaven and to your
Father. Regard it in the same llght
as the good man who said when e2-
pressed my sorrow to see him SINKING
into the grave, II am going home :,
If O think of it as death, then let
II be as the death of sin; the death OF
pain; the death Of fear; the death OF
care: the death of death. Regard its
n and struggles as the battle that
goes before victory; its troubles as
the swell of the sea on heavens hap
py shore, and yon gloomy passage as
the cypress-shaded avenue that shall
conduct your steps to heaven. 1t IS
life through Christ and life IN Christ;
life most blissful, and life eVermore.
How much happier and hol1er we
should be if we could look On death
in that light. I have heard people
say that we should think each morn
ing that we may be dead before night,
and each night that we may be dead
before morning. True, yet how much
better to think every morning. I may
be in heaven before night, and every
night that the head is laid on the pill
low. and the eyes are closed for sleeD
to think, next time I open them It
may be to look on Jesus, and the land
where there is no night, nor morning;
nor sunset, nor cloud: nor grave, nor
grief: nor sin, nor death, nor sorrow;
nor toll, nor trouble; where they
rest from their labors. and their
works do follow them."-Dr. Guth-
rie.

How Saloons Breed Anarchy.

The liquor traffic breeds criminals
wherever You find it. The liquor
traffic is guilty Of the multiplication
of a great army Of men and women
who are going up and down this
country violating our laws. Do you
remember when the Haymarket mas
sacre occurred in Chicago, and the
Investigation that followed? Why,
that court Of inquiry was always talk
ing about the saloon. Where were
the bombs made? In the back room
of a saloon. Where was the conspir-
acy Matched? Up stairs over a sa-
loon. Where did the anarchists meet
to plan their dastardly work? In a
room under a saloon. It was in a
saloon, around the saloon, yer a sa-
loon and below a saloon continually.
The whole abominable business of
anarchy would die its death If the
saloon were gone.

RELIGIOUS TRUTHS
4 From the Writings of Great
Preachers.
"HE GIVETH HIS believe
Sleep

"HE GIvETH HIS BELOVED
SLEEP"
Of all the thoughts of God that are
Borne inward. into souls afar,
, Along the Psalmist's music deep,
Now tell me if that any. Is,
For gift or grace SURPRISING this:
He giveth His beloved sleep"
What would we give to our beloved?
The hero's heart to be unnoved,
The poets star-tuned harp, to sweep.
The patriots voice, to teach and rouse,
The monarch's crown, to light the brows!
He giveth His beloved sleep"
"Sleep soft, beloved" we sometimes say,
We have no tune to charm away
Sad dreams that through the eyelids
creep:
But never doleful dream again
Shall break the happy slumber when
He giveth His beloved sleep"
H; dews drop mutely on the hill,
His cloud above it saileth still,
Though on its slope men sow and reap.
More softly. than the dew Is shed,
Or cloud is foated overhead.
He giveth His beloved sleep"
Elizabeth B. Browning.

God Demands Reverence.
BY C. Il.

BY C., II. wETHERBE.
The spirit of irreverence towards
sacred institutions and holy ordi-
nances, which so largely abounds in
our land, should be opposed by a
vigorous presentation Of the truth
that God still demands due reverence
for such things. All true Christian
leaders of the people should regard
it as being their duty to teach their
followers the great Importance OF
feeling and m~anifesting the utmost
reverence for the Bible and for all
sacred institutions. OBSERVE the fact
that one of the foremost require
ments which God made Of the ancient
Israelites was that they should duly
reverence all holy things.
AS one reads the history OF that
beople he may see that God prescribed
very severe penalties for those who
irreyerently treated holy appoint
ments and places. Many PROGRESSED
Christians in these days say that such
exactions of the Israelites were too
rigorous and too slavish. Ihey say
that those people were made to enter.
tain a superstitious dread OF sacred
ordinances and. hallowed places. HOW
severely tasked they were to keep
the Sabbath day holy! And n
%sacredness was attached to human
life! God demanded that the people
should have reverence even towards
the life of each other.
Shall we say that God was 90 e1'
acting in demanding proper reVer'
ence for all things? BY no means.
He knew that the strong tendency IN
sinful people is to indulge in 1rreVer-
ence. This is inherent in fallen hu-
man nature. Hence 1t is that COD
has ever insisted that all people
should cultivate and express que rev
erence for sacred truths and lnstltu'
tons. =. .
markedly manifest in those proIes-
,ional scholars who treat the Blple
as they do any other book. 1t ap-
nears in their i~rreverent denial OF the
truth of those sayings in the Bible
which contradict their theories. IL
is seen in the attitude of many NOM
jnal Christians towards Christ n
the records of His miracles. All OF
such ones are mastered by an 1rreV..
rent temper, even though some OF
them speak of their "reverent treat-
ment" of the Bible. But true reVer-
ence for the holy Bible will restrain
its possessor from rejecting those
parts of it which are contrary TO
human reason. A truly reverent per-
gon will never cast aspersions upon
Gods Word nor upon sacred things.
Such a person has a healthy awe o
Gods truth. He has no disposition
to trife with Divine ordinances.
> what is greatly needed to-day Is a
nrofound cultivation Of a reverent
spirit towards all sacred Things; "A
far greater reverence for COD ana the
Bible should be taught TO the youth
of our land.-Worll's Crisis.

Drink Increased With Wages.

Whether poverty is the cause OF
drink or drink is the cause Of poverty
is a question over which social work.
ers have sometimes split hairs. I'm
doubtedly both views are right, as
poverty and drink constitute a VIC
ious social circle. DR.. Fuchs, how
ever, studying workingmen's expeA-
diture in seventeen villages near
Carlsruhe found, according to Der
Abstinent June, 19O5), that the
greater the income the greater the
proportion of money spent for drink,
Indicating that in this case, at any
rate, poverty was not the chief cause
Of drink.-Translation by The Scien-
