A YIELDED LIFE.

What is a Yielded Life?
IT'S one at Gods command,
For Him to hold, to form, to use,
Or do with it as He may choose,
Resistless in His hand.
What is a Yielded Life?
A life whose only will,
When into blessed subsection brought, =
In every deed and aim and thought,
Seeks just to do His will.
What is a Yielded Life?
A life which Love has won,
Which in surrender, full, complete,
Lays all with gladness at the feet
Of Gods most holy Son.
What is a Yielded Life?
A life where Christ holds sway.
Der which He is the rightful Lord;
The ruling power His whispered word:
Led by it day by day.
What is a Yielded Life?
A life in His control,
Unrufled by the stormy breeze
OF sorrow, when its surging seas
Would sweep the iGod:kept soul.

Not That Kind of Papa.

A certain ensign in the navy had
an overwhelming desire to marry the
daughter Of a Rear-Admiral, who was
noted in the service as a frank, not
to say harsh, man.
The ensign went, with much trepi-
dation, into the Office Of the man he
desired to make his father-in-law.
$50 you want to marry my daugh-
ter??" inquired the Rear-Admiral in
deep chest tones.
Yes, sir"
"Well, what are you going to sup
port a wife on, with nothing but the
pay of an ensign"
well, Admiral, If I am not mis-
taken, you were married wh-n you
were an ensign"
Yes, young man, I was, but l
lived off my father-in-law, and I'll be
blest if you are going to. do that

Brain Currency.
By ELLIS o. ZONES.

While we are doing the white thing
by the bankers in enabling them at a
moments notice to issue currency
based upon their assets, why not ex-
tend the principle to those of US who
have brains, but who, at certain
crises, such as the shutting-down of
factories or the closing up of our
favorite savings bank, are unable to
realize on either the failure or the
past products of those brains?
To some people this may appear
too revolutionary, but surely brains
are still worth a little something,
and, if so, the Government ought to
be willing to let US hook them when
occasion requires.-From Life.

Helping the Pastor.

Charles H. Sturgeon once said:
"As for me, I beg a special interest
in your prayers, that I may be sus-
tanned in the tremendous work to
which !. am called. A minister must
be upheld by his peoples prayers, or
what can;h he do? When'a diver Is on
the sea bottom. he depends upon the
pumps above, which send him down
air. Pump away, brethren, while I
am seeking the Lords lost money
among. the timbers Of this old wreck.
I feel the fresh air coming in at every
stroke of your prayer-pump, but If
you stop your supplication, I shall
perish.
paul said long, ago to the Ephe-
SLAMS, Praying always for me- and
to the Thessalonians, Pray for u.s.
feeling that utterance and the free
course Of. Gods Word alike depend
upon praying churches.
1.-THE heart of the church throbs
in the pulse of the pastor. If that
beat strong and high he is mighty; If
that be feeble he is weak. Pray for
your pastor, at the family altar, in
the conference meeting, in the great
congregations; pray for him as he
studies that he may be guided in the
choice and treatment of portions OF
Gods Word; pray for him while he
breaches, that the word may be in
demonstration Of the Spirit and OF
power Let not the pulpit rest up
in the church as the electric lamp
does upon the wire pole, but rather
let it be wired to the dynamo OF sp1r-
itual power by a praying church.
Thus shall pastor and people become
indeed the light of the world"

MGod Worketh in You"

This implies the actual presence OF
God at the centre Of our being. The
very simplicity of the words renders
them difficult Of understanding; for:
no man understands the complex and
marvellous mechanism of his own per-
sonality. God worketh in you-not
outside, but in-in the place where
thought Is born and the throne of the
will is set up and the affections have
their seat; in the inward shrine of the
being God worketn.-Campbell Nor

FIXING UP SPRUCE GUM.
Not All the Product is Sold as 1t
Comes From the Tree.

comes from the Tree.
s"This has been a great gum yea in
the Maine woods, so everybody says
up there" said a Bangor man.
There are two or three Bangor per-
| camille houses which make a speciality
| of spruce gum in the rough, and buy
large quantities of it from the lum-
Der men and those who make a regu-
lar business of gathering gum in the
| forests. These buyers are supposed
to give the gum a process OF refining
to make it fit for the chewing gum
trade. but it seems to be an open
secret that the refining is merely a
process of ad%ulteration. The gum,
unseparatei from the bark and wood
of the tree from which it was hacked,
is thrown into a kettle, where it is
boiled until it has been resolved into
a savory but by no means pleasing
looking mass of the consistency OF
melasses. The separated bark, wood
and often other foreign substances
that rise to the surface are skinned
off. With the gum finally freed from
it's natural Objectionable ingredients
to the mass are added parafine and
rosin, with sometimes sugar.
1.-THE admixture thickens the boil
ing mass and after all is we'll assimi-
lated by vigorous stirring, the gum
is pounded on a smooth marble slab
where, while it is yet hot, it is rolled
out in a thin sheet a quarter OF an
inch thick, which is separated into
inch cubes by a steel die. These are
wrapped in paraffin paper, packed 200
in a box and the famous Maine spruce
gum of commerce is ready. Not all
the spruce gum is treated in this way,
though. Some is put up unadulter-
ated and with the natural flavor OF
the spruce intact. In this way,
though, the gum soon becomes sticky
in the chewer's mouth and so while
absolutely pure, isn't as desirable in
an economic as the spruce gum
with its reinforcement:
1.-THE impression that some gum
gatherers seem to want to establish
that gum from certain localities is of
better quality and flavor than. that
from certain other localities is only
sentimental Tie quality Of the gum
depends on the sap Of the trees-the
bigger the tree the better the gum.
There is sentiment as we'll as CONNER

packs in the gathering ,of~spruce, gum
during their long winter in the will.

In their idle hours or by the camp
fire they white out of fragrant cedar
blocks miniature barrels, boxes, cas-
kets and the like; FOLLOWING them out
and filling them with the choicest OF
the gum from which they have ex-
PEELED and expressed every mite of
impurity. These they bring into the
settlements when they return in the
spring as gifts for s~weethearts, wives,
children or friends.
doctors up our way say that the
pure spruce gum is an excellent tooth

as patent gum and there is always
a ready and profitable market for it."

The Social and HYGIENE Relations OF
the Alcohol Question.

By DR.. H. Deutsch, Physician to the
Insurance Corporation Of
Brunn, Austria.
Alcohol even in diluted form as
used in the alcoholic drinks (wine,
beer, spirits) is a poison for the cells
of the body, whose functions 1t i'm
pairs. 1t has also q narcotic effect
upon the brain.
It not only directly causes diseases
of the body and especially of the al.
gestive tract, liver and kidneys, OF
the heart and nervous system, but IT
also reduces the resisting power OF
the body so that infectious diseases
are easily incurred and run q serious
course. According to the latest inves.
tigation this may result from: the reg
.ular daily use, Of about a pint OF
beer. .<+:. 49,. "
Numerous mental diseases are
caused in part and in part are pro.
NOTED by alcohol; amounts as small
as from ope-half ,to'one quart OF beer
impair the mental processes OF daily
life and deceive one as to his working
ability. The after-effects of such
amounts continue for more than
twenty-four hours.
The drinker endangers his descend
ants. The effect often shows itself
in a tendency. to-. backwardness in
their physical and mental develop
ment, to drunkenness, nervous dis
eases and crime. Even a single IN
toxication may be disastrous for the
child begotten in this condition.
The delicate organism 81. fhsScRil
IS very susceptible to injury fromEal-
cohol. Parents who: give their chill
dren alcoholic drinks are guilty OF a
sin toward them. . :,
Workmen on the average spend
about one-tenth of their wages for al
coholic drinks. For the whole world
this would amount to over 18,OO0,-
100000 crowns 100000, 000,000).
The consequences are disease, misery,
premature death, diminished working
ability. degeneration of the descend
ants, destruction of family life, want
and crime.
According to Investigations on men
and animals, the experience OF SOL
diers, sportsmen and explorers, IL IS
proved that even the moderate use OF
alcohol lowers working ability, that
it Is of no use in heavy work and
does injury by d%eadening the feellng
of fatigue.
The causes of alcoholism are: The
prejudices concerning the nourishlng,
warming and stimulating effects OF
alcohol; the drinking. customs n
coercion to drink; still more, the
tendency ofr,men to use narcotlcs 70
dull the feeling of ill-humor connect-
ed with many occurrences OF life'
Since this feeling of ill-humor is more
common among workmen than IN
other classes, on account of long
hours, poor, living conditions, insuh-
cient food; the lack of higher pleas.
ures. etc., there also the feeling Of
! the. need. Of alcohol Is :keener. =
But therein lies the chief danger
for the workman, because alconol
renders his misery 'supportaole; MN
ders him from taking part n eforts
TO better his condition, deadens MIN
toward the fate of his associates. ,
Under present conditions the best
means for combating alcohol are:
education concerning the injurysdo
by alcohol, improved social condl-
tions, and most Of all, personal ao,
| stinence from all alcoholic drinks n
The banding together of all who hold
these views.

among those who admit a history or
