RELIGIOUS READING. To think his thoughts Is blessedness su preme ; To know himself, the Thinker, is our life; To rest this weary intellect on his. Is the glad ending of mind’s endless strife. For this is life eternal him to know. And Jesus Christ his son whom he hath sent; And this is light, to walk in his dear love. Light brighter than the noon-bright firma ment. - B mar. TEMPERANCE. A PBAYKB ion LOVE. Boar Saviour, we thank thee, that when thou wast upon earth thou didst take littlo children up in thine arms and bless them. Now thou art gone into the heavens, wo re joice to feel that thy love is none the less tender and watchful,and that thy hands even now are laid upon them in blessing. Thou dost abide with us still, and art nearer to us and dearer than when thou didst walk the earth in human form, for thou dost never leave us. We pray thee to illumine our hearts, that we may see with the eye of faith. Give us to feel thy touch upon us.that we may go forth to our duties in the greatness of thy strength, and rejoice evermore in thee. May we be so filled with the precious love of Christ that we shall reflect it upon our children, and they, in turn, shall taste its sweetness and power, and grow up into thee in all things. Help us, as a family, to take hold of hands today with a new cove nant, with a higher and deeper joy; and pledge to thee our love and loyalty and ser vice. If there come times of darkness and struggle, when the burdens press and per plexities thwart us, O, may we lean the harder upon thine almighty arm. and find strength in thee for every time of need. Wo ask it in Jesus’ name. Amen. THE GREATER MAN, THE GREATER LOVE. It is the great patriots that interpret the value of their country to the common citi zen. The man absorbed in his own small affairs, or so restricted in his power of thought that he would never have taken in the national idea for himself abstractly, sees how Washington and Webster ana Lincoln loved the land ; and through their love for it. its worthiness of his own love becomes made known to him. Still his love for his country, when it is awakened, is his own. and may impel him to serve her in most peculiar personal ways, very differ ent from theirs: but none the less is it true that but for the interpretation of these great men's honor for her. ho would have hon ored his country less or not at all. They in terpret to their fellowmen what God has first Interpreted to them, till ultimately the fire which starts from the central heart of all runs through the world, and the blindest are enlightened to discern, and the most timid become bold enough to praise, the movement which at first had no friend but God.—I'hillips Brooks. THE BIBLE IN SOURCE or WORK. I do not know of any single Christian to day doing any work—any real work—who is not a dilligeut student of his Bible, who does not read the Bible as some of these business men read the fluctuations of the market. I do not know one of them who does not make the personal culture of the spirit as great a business in life as yonder athlete makes the training of the body' in preparation for the race. I do not know one of them that does not cultivate an eager, earnest interest in the Christina fellowship, Christian testimony, and Chris tian service, bestowing upon them ns much toil, and time, and thought as the world be stows upon its society engagements and its constant round of pleasures. The great difference between the OL_istian and the ■worldling not that one works and the other does not, but the worldling tolls and moils and dies, and the Christian toils and moils and lives for evermore.—Rev. R. I*. Horton. Our Heavenly Father, before entering upon the duties of the day wo would look into thy face and feel again our hand in thine. ’ Help us to detect thy presence in every incident of this day. Give us grace according to our need. Thou hast made us and knowest what wo car. bear. There is no temptation which thou hast not tested before permitting us to enter. The heavy part of our cross is on thy shoulders. Nor Is there any joy or pleasure which is not sweeter because thou hast chosen it So whatever experience is before us let it link us closer to thee. Thus may we grow into thy image day by day, O blessed Saviour. Amen. The cry of life can be satisfied by a Life alone. In the religion of Christ, and there only, are met all those demands to which thought severed from Christ is driven—for an Object of Worship which shall transcend knowledge, for an Ideal thoroughly subject to knowledge, for a living Power so working in the soul with secret might that this Ideal may inspire us, not with despair, but with courage. Thus is force revealed as loving, humanity as holy and the moral law as di vine. This is the assurance, wondrous, yet by the very witness of denial less wondrous than essential, brought to the world by Jesus Christ.—Vida D. Scudder. DEEI’ PRAYERS LIKE DEEP-SEA VOYAGING. It may be your prayer is like a ship.which, hen it goes on a very long voyage, does >t come home laden so soon, but when it )es come home it has a richer freight, ere “coasters” will bring your coals or ich-llke ordinary things ; but they that go ar to Tarshish return with gold and ory. Coasting prayers such as we pray ery day. bring us many necessaries ; bat ere are" great prayers which, like the old >anish galleons, eross the main ocean and •e longer out of sight.I>ut come home deep- den with a golden freight. -Spurgeon. A RELIGION BORN OF LOVE. Ours is a sunny religion, born of divine ve; and one of the fruits of the Holy >irit is joy. A joyless Christian is a libel i his profession. We ought to walk so Dse to Jesus as to be always in His suu- ine, and make so little of earthly ills and xations and losses as never to let them ivelop us in an atmosphere of Arctic mid- ght. Paul made a dungeon ring with holy elodies. Every follower of Christ should rive to make his daily life a song as well a Gospel sermon.—Theodore L.

The ba'my drop beguiling Too often ends in tears. Take hence those brimming glasses. They have no charm for me, Their boasted joy soon passes To end in sorrow's sea. Take hence the bright deennter, Which some unwisely drain; I’yc known the gay enchanter To wither heart and brain; To scatter woes wherever Tis welcomed and caress’d; Then touch it, taste it, never, ’Tis safest, wisest, best. Love not the joys and laughter That circle round the bowl Lest yon may weep hereafter With sick ahd saddened soul, And curse the bliss you covet Mid youthful mirth and glee; Ah! shun the bowl, nor love it. If happy days you’d see. DRINK AND DEATH. The late Benjamin Ward Richardson, the famous English authorily. from a lifetime of study, estimated that one-tenth of the total deaths in England tiro attributable to the use of alcohol. Applying this ratio to the United Slates, the deaths due to drink would amount to irom 7J.000 to 80.00J per year. HEE TALE or WOE HAD A GOOD EFEECP James Holt, near Branchville, Ind.. while intoxicated, went home last Saturday night and kicked the stove over, burning down the little one-room log shanty which shel tered Ids family, after first blackening his wife’s eyes and otherwise disfiguring her lace. The next day Mrs. Holt appeared at the little church where the family occasion ally worshipped, and requested permission to address the congregation, aud then she fol- iowed with a pathetic talk on the evils of strong drink, making many utiusiocs to her own battered features in proof of what sbe was saying- In the audience was “Bud” Robertson, the only whisky dealer in the township. After she had concluded, Mr. Robertson approached Mrs. Holt and ten dered tlO toward re-establishing her in a home, and he vowed that he would never again sell another drop. That evening ho emptied the contents of his several casks on the ground, despite the p ‘-a iugs of a dozen thirsty friends, to whom he refused a drink. —Indianapolis News. kind miENM »:n it.

Wno made him so? Eu l hi* enemies hate him. and as the most cruel revenge they could take make him a druntard/ No, ho never had an enemy in his life. He was genial and kindhearted, a friend to every body; even the salooaist who sold him the drink loved him as much as they could love anybody. Kind friends who loved him made him a drunkard. His mother gave it to him when a baby. His lather in kindness (?) taught him to drink a health. His sisters, and the very wife he loved, yet murdered, often passed and pledged the cup with him. His father’s friend must drink witt the son of their old friend. His companions, every one of whom would have risked their lives to save his, pressed him to the party, the song and the'bowl. At weddings and dinners kind friends passed to him the glass. They even laughed at him when first intoxicated', and invitea him to drink again. Oh, ho had many friends. But while he could have been saved kindness restrained the warning voice. He leaned on friends at every step until he lost his all, and died a drunkard and a mur derer. Kind friends did it.—National Temperance Advocate. TH1» CONNECTION BETWEEN RAILROAD ac<A DENTS AND DRINK. The Quarterly Journal of Inebriety says: “Recently, a great railroad corporation gathered all the facts conoorning the men and the conditions of every accident which ha 1 occurred on its linos for five years. When tabulated, it appeu.-ed that forty per cent, of all accidents were due altogether, or in part, to the failures of men who were drinking; that in eighteen per cent, there was strong suspicion of similar causes, yet no clear proof. In one year over a million dollars’ worth of property was destroyed by the failuies of beer-drinking engineers and switchmen. The company’s rules requiring temperate men for all positions are more and more rigorously enforced. Engineers find that practically they are unable to do good work while using spirits evan in small doses. The coolness and presence of mind so essential in their work is broken up by alcohol in any form. “Trainmen, men exposed to the weather, reach the same conclusion, if they are prac tical meu. The startling mortality of brake- men is referable in many cases to the use of alcohol to drive out the cold, or keep awate in long hours of service. Each year the duti s and responsibilities of railroad men increase, and men more temperate, accurate, prompt and careful in I heir work are re quired. Only absolutely temperate men can do this work for any lengtu of time: all others fail and are dangerous iutheir weak ness. “A Western road permitted an inebriate, who was really an able man, to continue as a claim agent adjusting accounts against the company. His drinking was supposed to be an aid in the settlement of claims with other drinking men. After his death a temperate man who filled his place saved several thou sand dollars a year by doing the same work, repeating the common experience that ine briates are always more or less incom petent.” A .THRILLING STORY BY JOHN B. GOUGH. A minisier of the gospel told mo one of the most thrilling incidents I over heard in my life. A member of his congregation came homo for the first time in his life intoxicated, and his boy met him upon the doorstep, clapping his hands, exclaiming: “Papa's come home!’' He seize 1 the bov by the shoulder, swung him around, staggered and fell in the hull. The minister said to me: “I could give you his name, if necessary. I spent the night in the house. I went out, bared ray brow that the night air might fall upon it and cool it. I walked down the hill. There was his child—dead! There was his wife in strong convulsions, and he asleep!” A man but thirty years of age asleep with a dead child in bis house, having a blue mark upon the temple where the corner of the marble steps had come iu contract with the head as he swung him around, and a wife upon the brink of the grave! “Mr. Gough,” said my friend, “I cursed the drink. Ho had told me I must remain till ho awoke, and I did. When he awoke ho passed his hand over his face and exclaimed: "What is the mutter! Where am I? Where is my boy?” “You cannot see him.” “Stand out of the way! I will see my boy!” “To prevent confusion I took him to the child’s bed, and as I turned down the sheet and showed him the corpse ho uttered a wild shriek: ‘Oh, my child'.’ ” That minister said further to ice: “One year after he was brought from a lunatic asylum to lie side by side with his wife in one grave, and 1 attended the funeral.” The minister of the gospel who told me that fact is to-day a drunken hostler In a stable in Boston. Now tell me what rum won’t do! It will debase, degrade, imbrute and damn every thing that i« noble, bright, glorious and God like in a human being. There is nothing that drink will not do that is vile, dastardly, cowardly, sne&kish or hellish. We are , united, comrades, are we not. to fight this { monster, rum, till the day ot our death?
