ADVICE TO UNCLE SAM.

There is a certain queer old book
which was printed in England more
than a hundred years ago called. "The
Pleasant Art of Money-Catching." 1t
contains this good advice: First see
that your comings-in be than
your l%ayings-out." Suppose a man
were taking ten thousand dollars a
year over the counter of his store.
That might seem big to him. But IL
he had to pay ten thousand and one
dollars for stock and rent and help
and fire, he would not be prospecting,
but failing. Uncle Sam does get a
great deal of money from the liquor
traffic. But he and we spend a very
great deal more in caring for its vic
tins. So this is bad business, and
when enough people have found it out
the liquor traffic will go. They are
finding it out very fast. Everybody
who has studied arithmetic can figure
out the reason for national prohibi-
ton. 1t Is a matter of dollars and
cents.-Christine Timing.

NO USE FOR 1T IN FIVE YEARS.
A leading banker of Wisconsin
vouches for the following incident:
Within the past year the managers
of a brewery in one of the smaller
cities of the state decided to build a
new malt house at a cost of $25, 900.
They commissioned their president to
go to Milwaukee and effect a loan.
He naturally went to n of the big
brewery-controlled banks of that city.
The vice-president to whom he applied
for the loan, was formerly in the brew
ing business and had made a hand
some fortune in that business during
the palmy days before the drys had
begun to knock the big profits out of
it. He very wisely got out of the bust
ness when the getting was good, not
as now, when brewing stocks are all
shot to pieces.
To the utter surprise and chagrin
of the out-of-town brewer he was
promptly refused the loan. He ex-
claimed: whats the matter? With
all this fine property we got, amt we
good for $685. 00?"
Quick came the answer from the ex-
brewer-banker: But what do you
want to use the $4,000 for?"
ITO build a malt house, so we can
enlarge our business" said the brewer.
But, you fool, don't you know that
in five years you will have 10 use
whatever for a malt house?' replied
the banker.

ST. Peters Sermon.
The eleven Apostles, exercising their
gift of tongues, began to talk to the
assembled Jews-not merely residents
of Jerusalem, but thousands from all
parts of the world, gathered at Jeru-
salem at that season, in harmony with
the demands of the Law. From their
dress, ETC., the Apostles were %recogniz-
ed as Galileans. Much establishment
was manifested at hearing them speak
in various languages.
The essence of the preaching was
that Jesus. who had been crucified, had
risen from the dead and had now shed
forth this miraculous power upon His
followers. This led to the prophecy OF
David which foretold Messiah's resur-
rection, saying, Thou wilt not leave
Ny soul In Sheol'-Hades. psalm Is:
10; Acts 2:27.) The Apostle showed
that this was fulfilled In Jesus, in that
God had raised Him from the dead;
but that it was never fulfilled in David,
who was still in his sepulcher awaiting
resurrection. AS a prophet, David had
merely foretold Jesus resurrection.
With various details the preaching ex-
planned the righteousness of Jesus. the
beauties of His teachings. the wicked
ness of those who had crucified Him,
and the fact hat the entire Jewish n a
ton was guilty before God. AS a peo-
pie they were bound by their Law Gov
enant, and the action Of their officials
had brought condemnation upon the
whole people. Three thousand believ-
ed. The case was s. plain that they
were pricked to the heart. They real
lied that Jesus was the Son of God
and that a great crime had been com
mitted in crucifying Him. In further
explanation they were told that they
and their rulers had done this wicked
deed ignorantly, and that God would
graciously forgive those who acknowl-
edged their sin and asked forgiveness
Of Him. They did so. Then they made
a conservation of their lives, and be
came followers of Jesus.
