COUGHS LAST WORD

There is a special fitness in regard
ing the story of Samson as a tenn
perance lesson. The advice given to
the mother of Samson before his
birth is in harmony with the very lat
est science, because it has been found
that children of mothers who drink
liquor, even in moderation, have a
strong tendency to become victims of
alcoholism. Samson was pledged from
his birth to be a total abstainer; and
the enemies he overthrew, both beast
and man, and that finally overthrew
him, are very like the enemy which
comes to tempt us in the guise of
drink. 1t was the roar of lion, then
the attacks of men and lastly the
pleadings of woman that sought to
conquer the Lords giant. So, like a
lion and like strong men and even
like a delicate woman. the evil Of
strong drink may attack and lure us.
There is only one safe standard, that
which Cough uttered just as death
stilled his clarion voice: Young man,
keep your record clear. THE Chris
tian Herald.

tirely satisfactory. X
Our arrangements with the Palm
