Once too Often.

Sometimes we do things once
too often. 1t is an all -prevailiEg
habit and too often a mis-.
fortune.
The bather insists upon one
more plunge in the deep water and
never comes out.
The drunkard must have one
more drink before he falls into the
gutter.
The indulger in forbidden fruit
must have one more taste before
he is beyond redemption.
The aeronaut must always make
one more flight before his final
challenge to cruel fate.
The prodigal son must bea good
fellow just once more before he is
swept away in the crowd and lost
forever.
The hayward girl must see once
more the bright lights of the great
white way before she listens to hel
hearts appeal for penitence, but
she will never see her mothers
face again.
The crowd jeered the black
champion of the prize ring when
they saw him fallen and beaten in
Havana. He had stayed toe
long. He had fought once toe
often.
So they will jeer all those who
turn their backs upon home, upor
church and Bible and school, fol
one more chance to have "a goo(

"Let us eat and drink; for to
morrow we shall die" is the mot
