I wonder if we realize, when we read that word so many tinies, how much it means, how tnany subjects it suggests. It not only means to abstain from alco­ holic drinks, but in everything we do, in speaking, eating, dressing, and in our every act, to practice temperance. God has given us certain appetites; hence, they are for onr good, and should never under any circumstances be misused, lf we do misuse them, not only we, but others, must suffer. Then how much more careful we ought, to be, since we will be held responsible not only for our own suffering, but for the suffering and sorrow we have caused others. I think that many of our evil passions. which are not controlled result M>m our igno- rance concerning them. Therefore I wish to speak very plainly to you re­ garding some of them. ^ First of all, let us take drinking, i am sure we all have in some way or other been brought in contact with that dreadful demon ' 'Drink." We all know the intense suffering it brings, both physical and mental. We also know that when under the influence of alco­ holic liquor all that is good, pure, and noble in our natures is, for the time be­ ing, utterly wiped out, and all that is impu^pyile, and low is being stimulat­ ed. Our impure language and thoughts, are vile passions, and in fact the very worst side of our natures is at work. We all think it a very sad sight to see a man staggering along the street drunk, yet how much more sad to see a woman. A woman whom God has intended to be one of the most pure and holy creatures on earth! How true these words seem as they come to me now. "A woman when pure and good is the most beauti­ ful thing in this World, but when vile and low, the most miserable and sin­ ful. " I know that there is not a girl among us to-night but would say, were she asked, "I prefer to be pure and noble." But we so of ten say, "It is so hard to be good, and it is so much easier to be indifferent to good and things." • Yes, ;^>teseasfer;:;i»^biB bad, and it is" harder to be good and pure. But, girls, if it were easier for us to be good, would we feel as happy as we do when we have fought and won some hard battle,--for I do think i j a battle • to re­ sist the evil one, and, a very hard and sorrowful one too. I don't believe we would. That is a very beautiful and comforting thought to mei You and I know how peaceful and happy we feel when we have deliberately turned our backs on evil things and done those things which our consciences have told us were right. Can we describe the happiness which so silently steals over our hearts and lives?--No, I don't think we can, for I believe the angels are min­ istering unto us the same as they did unto Jesus when he was tempted, and won the most glorious battle that has ever been fought. Then shall we say, ' 'What is the use of trying; is it worth while, and it will pay?" O yes! indeed it is worth while, and it will pay; for "to try to be better is to be better," and is it not a comfort­ ing thought for us, when we remember that Jesus fought and won* the same battles that we have to fight? But do we always win? We must answer that question for ourselves. I know I do not; but I am resolved that when I fail, I will make a greater effort and attain to my "ideal woman," and I believe I cer­ tainly shall if I am patient and persever­ ing. Then let us-look to Him who is ever willing to help us if we only ask, be­ lieving that he will strengthen and guide us; for without him . we can do nothing, bat with him we dan do all things. ^ . ;7; O girls! let us strive as we never have before to live the lives he would have us! "Let us so live that our lives will be an inspiration and blessing to those whose lives are touched by ours, let us remember we all must answ ourselves: What kind of a woma I going to be? t-'V 1 xv 'nVj *isrt H ^ pure His Wile ^ My wife's good advice saved toy lift writes- F M.
