 The fine old mansion on Pleasant street, purchased by the order early in the summer, when they had been in existence but few months, with
 money raised by subscription from the

 vated, decorated and furnished, and presented 8 handsome appearance with the artistic decorations, and massive,
 handsome furnishings. The committees,
 James F. Twomey, Dr. W. K. Faatz and c. Lamoureux, who with D. F. Comtois went to Boston to select the furniture. received many compliments for their selection in this important regard. The first floor of the build ing. which is fully furnished, com pares favorably with any fraternal
 building in the state.

II is The Son Of Man before whom the
nations Of the world shall be gathered.
II is in the presence Of humanity that we
shall be charged, and the spectacle itself.
the mere sight Of il. will silently Judge
each one. Those will be there whom we
have met and helped; or there, the un-
pitied multitude whom We neglected or
despised. No other witness need be
summoned. No other charge than love-
Iessness shall be preferred. Be not de-
ceiyed. The words which all OF US shall
one day hear sound not OF theology. but
of life, not OF churches and saints, but OF
the hungry and the poor, not OF ereeds
and doctrines. but OF shelter and clothing,
not of Bibles and praYerbooks, but OF
cups of cold water in the name OF Christ.
Thank God, the Christianity Of today IS
coming nearer to the worlds need. Live
TO help that on. Thank God, men know

Henry Grady on Drink.

To-day II strikes crust from the lips
of starving child. and to- morrow levies
tribute from the government itself.
There is no cottage humble enough to
escape it, no place strong enough to shut
it out. +
II defies the law when il cannot coerce
suffrage.
II is flexible to caiole, but merciless in
victory.
II is the mortal enemy OF peace and
order, the despoiler OF men and terror
of women, the cloud that shadows the
faces of children, the demon that has dug
more graves and sent more souls un-
shrived to judgment than all the pestl-
lences that have wasted life since God
sent the plaques to Egypt, and all the
wars since Joshua stood beyond jericho.
1t comes to ruin your body and mind,
mainly by the ruin of your sons and
mine.
II comes to mislead human souls and
TO crush human hearts under its rumbling
wheels.
1t comes to bring gray-haired mothers
down in shame and sorrow to their graves.
Ii comes to change the wife's love into
despair and her pride into shame.
II comes to still The laughter on the lips
OF little children.
Ii comes to StifIe all the music OF the
home and fill it with silence and desola-
tion.
1t comes to ruin your body and mind,
to wreck your home, and it knows ii
must measure its prosperity by the swift
ness and certainty with which ii wrecks
this world.

"Have you got any place TO stay at ?"
asked the tall, gray man.
The four young men, who were attend
ing college Young Mems Christian As
sociation convention in Southern city.
answered that they had not. Through
some mistake, they had been directed to
a house already full. So they were going
back 10 headquarters 10 be reassigned.
Don't you do H." said the elderly
man. You come right along with me.
We've got some already, but ! reckon we
can find place for you, and a snack to
eat."
They went with him, and on their ar
rival found four others ahead OF them
but that did not in the least daunt their
host and hostess.
Mother" said the old man, this is
lucky day for US. We-all have got twice
rs many as we asked for. Do you reckon
the hoe cake will hold out ? And can
you give these young fellows place TO
sleep somewhere ?"
Mother was sure that she could.
Alter supper the eight young men and
the host and his wife sat for an hour about
the fire.
81 never got TO finish my college
course" wistfully said the old man, who
was a minister in the city. 1--WE had a
convention down here in '6l and there
were more Northern delegates than we
expected, and had TO stay home and
help take care OF them. BY the spring OF
'65 there wasn't enough left OF me to go
to college,"
II was a splendid convention, and there
was a great final rally OF the college boys
on Sunday night. The old minister could
not 90, for he had service in his own
little church. Late in the evening, the
group assembled round the fire, and the
Young mel told him OF the great meeting
they had attended. oi the stirring ad'
dresses, and the enthusiasm.
81 would certainly like TO have been
there" said the old soldier.
"Did you have good meeting at your
church 2" asked one OF the young men.
1--WE won one tonight" modestly re-
piled the old man.
"You won one ?"
ayes, we got one TO the altar. He's
been bad man. He's a gambler, and
he's broken his wife's heart. It'll take
all the grace OF God to keep him. We've
been laying slege to his heart along while
and the Word Of the Lord came home
to him Tonight. reckon his poor little
wife hasn't got done crying for Joy yet.
He's been a bad man. But he had a
good, praying mother, and his wiie's
never given up hope, and we won him
tonight"
The young men went to bed in silence.
Day by day their admiration for the old
soldier had grown into affection. After
they had blown out the lights, one OF
them spoke,
"Boys," he said, "'m not sure that
our good host didn't have agreater meet
ing than we."
