Mrs. Rives was n«ft a pronounced temperance woman, and when at the Thanksgiving feast to which she had been invited, the fumes of smoking plum pudding told that brandy had been used in the sauce, she hesitated in doubt whether it would not be better to override a mere, prejudice against its nse. Indeed, there flashed across her mind St Paul's injunction: "Whatso­ ever is set before yeu eat, asking no questions for conscience sake." Then there came to her a vision of the table at home when, as a little child with clasped hands and bowed head, she had listened to her father's voice: "Whatsoever we this day eat or drink, may it be to the glory of God." As she half uncon­ sciously pushed the tempting dish aside, she did not see that the action was imi­ tated by the young man opposite her, Snd it was a genuine surprise when, late hi the evening, he sought ber Out.. "My chief cause for thanksgiving today," he said, "is your presence here tonight, Mrs. Rives, for your example gaive me courage to refuse what has been my greatest enemy." FOR SAKE OP AN0THEK; He holds in his band the sparkling glass that tempts his neighbor, and the eye of the neighbor glistens as he thinks of the Christian man playing with tem] . ration. Why cannot he, the man with­ out Christian allegiance, handle, taste, drink? But look! The <man with the glass gives a startled look as this scene passes before him. A sorrowful face bows under the cross thrown upon his back, That cross is planted and the drooping figure is stretched upon it. The man with the glass sees it all. He knows it is love that has gone to Calva­ ry. It is love that is in pain. It is love that bleeds. It is love that cries, "It is finished!" and yet a love that goes on, deathless, triumphant; a love ever­ lasting for a lost world. The man tempt­ ed delays no longer. He, too, makes sacrifice for another and shivers his glass on the marble floor. Oh, love out of the heart of God, come once more upon tbe earth! Take form in the loving lives of thy people.

A drinking man, being in a saloon late one night, heard the saloon keeperV wife say to her husband, "SAd that fel low away; it is late." "No, never mind,"said the saloon keeper, "he is shingling our roof for us." This idea1 lodged in the drunkard's mind, and he did not return to tbe saloon for many months. On meeting him in the street one da^ the saloon keeper said, "Why don t you come around to my place any more?" "Thank you for your kind hospitality," rep'ied his former victim.
