But the lad's companions went regularly to a Band of Hope meeting, and they wished very much to accompa­ ny them. One of them wa« constantly teasing his mother to let him pp. At length, wearied by his importunities, she said; 'you may go, but be sure you do not let your father know anything about it.' The lad went and for some weeks was a rejyular attender, taking a great interest in the mootings, One evening he happened to remark to his mother, 'W« are going to have a magic lantern next Friday.' 'Where is the magic lan- torn?' demanded the father, looking up. Then, tremblingly, the little fellow confessed he had been to the Band of Hope meetings. 'Have you a cord?" asked the angry father. 'Yes,' he said. He was at once commanded to give it up. With tears it was handed to his father, who tore it in pieces, and threw them into the fire, sternly forbidding his son ever again to go near that place of meeting. That boy is now scarcely twenty years of age, but the father bit* terly regrete that he did not allow him to belong tothe band of hope. Often lias that boy come to his father's door helplessly intoxicated. The father is rasping as he has sown in this world, and in all probability he will have to face the fact that he has ruined his son's soul." §» r" Prejudice is the conjuror of imaginary" wrongs, strangling truth, overpowering l&tson, making strong men weak and weak men weaker.
