"THE INTOXICANT EVIL." (Continued from Pago Six.) in this country no Christian can sel > whiskey. "The powers that bo an ordained of God." (Rom. 13:lv Thus we are compelled to obey tin laws of the State unless those law. & come in conflict with the laws of Goi !) If there were a plain statement ii the Bible commanding you to sell in i toxicants, you might do so. But ' I am certain there is no such statcmen | in the Bible, and so I am certain yoi sin everytime you sell whiskey ille gaily in this country, and if you d< this knowingly and willingly, L d< not know how you arc to be savei 1 while in that condition. People some times have an idea that when the;1 sell intoxicants, they are not respon sible after the intoxicant is gone an-' the money is in hand, bill this i not the case. In V Tim. 5:22, wo reai ''neither bo partaker of other men': sins." The immediate reference i: tu I ho ordination of a bishop. If yoi ordain a bishop and so send hin forth to preach the Gospel, and hav< reason to believe lie is not a suita ble man lor the work, you become ; partaker in nil the sins which lv commits a?? a minister. From thi avc .net the general statement, if yoi assist a man in any way to procun material which you have reason t< believe ho is going to use to his owi I injury or the injury of someone else you become a partaker in Ins st7i Thus if you sell an intoxicant, sucl , as whiskey, morphine, cnenrno, and have reason to believe that, tli one who purchase it is i*oing to- usi it in an injurious way. you become j t partaker in those sins. In view o these facts, we urge you never l< sol! an intoxicant unless you do s< legally. and then do not do so if yoi f have reason to believe the one win buys ii will use it in an in.juriou way. Intoxicants are responsible fo s so much evil. 1 never advocate a lav which permits the sale of them as ; i beverage lost 1 become a partaker li i their evil. Tf I have reason to believ | these things are going to lie used ii * an injurious way. T would sin ii helping to supply them, even thougi I could do the work better thai someone else. Now brethren, let me make an ap peal to you, and if as many as on L of you will heed it, this sermon can [ not be considered a failure. lw?ari this fact, intoxicants are very dan gerous. In view of this fact, let nv lay down some principles which yoi will always be safe in following. I you use intoxicants for medical pin poses,-do so very cautiously,?us them only to a limited extent,?sucl as will develop no habit. Never us an intoxicant as a beverage at all Never give an intoxidant to be use; in this way, and if someone otter i f to yon to be used in this way ml us it. Never sell an intoxicant unles you do s?) legally, and then do no do so if you have reason to believ it is going to be used in the wroni way. Those of you who have not d: k veloped the haibit can follow tiros f rules without the slightest difficulty and let me urge you to do so. If an; of you have developed the habit t any extent, you will lind some diffi cully in following them. But let u remind \'"u. God will not allow you t 1 be templed above your ability t< bear. Then resolve, with the strengll of Christ in the spirit of the marly I rather to die than to allow any o 1" these intoxicants to injure you. CONFEDERATE REUNION. I Gen.

April 14.?-Senator Tilli man continues to improve in strength, ., but realizes his condition is one e where.continued rest is- necessary to s I lie building up of his shattered nerve f forces.

ITe was a big black beauty of a 1 colt, and just as mean ns he was handsome. "Brone" had never been ' thoroughly broken bv his former own1 er, ami when 1 first saw him he was f in the hands of the best horse breaker in camp, who was putting the finishing touches to his education. "Thev called this pony a' outlaw afore 1 took a-holt of him," remarket ed the bronco twister. "Shucks! Nowadays ef a boss bucks his saddle blankets off'n him the boys say 'Outlaw! Bad bronco. Guess I'll ride that old boss over yonder.' ^ "I've sweated most of the ugliness _ outen him a'ready," continued the _ trainer, "lie ain't got but one mean ^ habit left, an' today I'm going to f lain him to fergit it." The mean habit referred to was I his?when "Brone" decided to go straight a he a d, ho'd"go. Over rocks and down (he sleep banks of a wash, through cactus and the well named cat's claw; and if the ehollas pricked' him, or the curved claws of the brush snatched at his flanks, he would throw in some fancy bucking for good measure as lie tore along. e But turn? Never. The trainer took his riata from the saddle horn and tied one end to the rope bridle or hackamore, fastening s it securely under the jaw. Then he patted the colt, working toward its y flanks, until the animal allowed him - lo "each I lie tail and fasten a loop of - rope in its heavy strands. 1 The free end of the riata was passo ed through the loop in a way which i. would bring the horse's head and tail togetner when tightened, and by passing tha riata once more through both hackamoro and loop it was prevented from slipping when released. I "Now, fer the graiuT merry go round!" announced (lie twister, aud standing away from tiro colt's heels he pulled the rial a taut until the ani nial was bent nearly double. "Keep ? t-urnin' till I say you kin stop," he commanded, and in fact the bewildered creature was revolving like a top and painfully learning the old lesson , of his race that man's will is law for I the horse. AN e sat in the shade of a mosquito, J watching him for twenty minutes or 1 so when the bronco twister decided that the stiff neck was sullicientlv limber. When lie mounted he discovered his error; the frightened -j horse pranced and bucked with him and finally tried to roll over the rid- | er, who spramr from the saddle just in the nick of lime. I I'll! his patience was by no means exhausted. "Here's m shore way to make 'em j limber." he announced, and picking up a large flat stone lie tapped (lie horse's neck f<>r a few minutes steadily. but not with suflicieut force to ! hurt him. "Ile'll feel that perty soon j an' find i! ea-ier to turn than brace! his tender neck atria tin* reins." ji When the pony had been reversed I ?that is. tied head and tail on the'" opposite side?ami allowed to rotate I another half hour, lie was dripping with sweat and completely subdued. | The bronco twister mounted and the i colt allowed himself to be ridden < about the flat until he tangled in his trailing riata and fell, the rider still on top. "Now. we'll turn him loose an' see j how he behaves himself," remarket) the trainer, ami unslinging the ropes | he again mounted and rode the ntrw ! tractable horse in circles and figure} j eights, wheeling* and turning at will. : As the training- concluded. "I'd af ! heap sooner twis this critter's neck! | with a rope than have him break his back an' mine too over yonder cliff." Which was the just ilicat ion of j "liroiic's" hard lesson.?Out West. .... j A T'Oa, 1 Once Used ?n Hand 25c.
