S. LESSON FOR OCT. 3ist
Lesson Title—The Evils of Strong
Drink.
Lesson Paeage—Proverbs 23:29 -
They that tarry lc:mg at the wine, they
that go to , seek mixed wirie. Look
not thoo upon the wine when it is
red, when it giveth his color in the'
cup; when it moveth himaright. At
the last it biteth like a serpent, and
stingeth like an adder. Thine eyes
shall behold strange women, and
thine heart shall utter pervese things.
Yea, thou phalt be as he that lieth
down in the midst of the sea, or as he
that lied' upon the top of a xnast
They have. stricken me shalt Ilion say,
and I was not sick, they have,beatin
me, .and I felt. it not; when shall 'I
awake? I will seek if yet again. •
Solomon, in the' foregoing, pictures
the results of sin of"drunicenness, and
cautions people to keep out of the
way of temptation to this sin, saying,
"Look not upon it." Stop at the very
threshold, lest corning 'ender the spell
ol its beautifid color, to the eye prove
a deceitful gnide.
The writer then' points out the con-
sequences of indulging. There is
bitterness at the end ,of all sin but
especially so at the end of this one.
•It makes men quarrelsome. •`)When
the wine is in, the wit is out," and
then passion is -up and there are
wounds without cause.
It makes to impurity of speech and
Golden Text=Proverlas 23:32. also men utter nonsencial thnigs that
Who hath woe? Who hath sorrow?, they would respise themselves for
Who hath contentions? Who hath when sober. It also causes them

Walking around a two -foot -wide
• platferm that encircled the top
• of the 218 -foot -high chimney at the
end of the Windsor' street station
train pla:tforrne, Henry Niel, of
•New York, an Richard Be ucher, of
Three Rivers, drew many eyes from
neighboring streets and from the
windows of the C.P.R. offices. The
nien had been engaged by the coin-
.
pally to repoint the bricks, clean
the surface and repair the light-
ning rods on the huge chimney.
The work of getting the platform
to the top of the chimney occupied
the men for eight days. Every tip -
ward movement of the platform was
to a height of six feet and at the
last minute of completing this work
one of the men would be standing
on ar single plank, the rest having
been raised to.the upper position.
This ticklish work was to the on-
looker dangerous in the extreme,
but the men thought nothing of it.
Asked if he. ever suffered from
attacks of vertigo, Held laughed than a minute.

Years of age and has been doing
this kind of work for the past forty
years. "I feel right et horne on the
C.P.R. chimney," he added, "for I
built it in 1912." 'However, he is
thinking of quitting in another cou-
ple •of years, although his nerve is
as good as ever it was. He owns a
half -section of land in Alberta and
it is there that he says he will
settle down. ;
Both men moved with the same
ease at the perilous height as
though they were walking on the
street. At times, whenohauling a
plank upwards, one of them stooped
over the edge of the platform look-
ing sheer dovvn the drop of 200 feet.
At other times they swung out from
the walls of the -chimney perched on
a tiny cradle. At all times they
appeared to have complete mastery
of the situation.
Although it took them eight days
to heist the platform to its present
position, they glided front it to the
ground on a cradle in slightly less
more assurance of safety than if they
were asleep upon the tOp of a mast. 3,

BUSINESS BLOCK BURNED
Friday night, 8hottly after seven o' --
clock, fire was discovered in the dry --
goods department of Win. Robinson's
store. Mr. Robinson and family had
gone out to the country about half
an hour before,' so ,no one was at
home. The 'door was fOrced in, but
owing to the.„,,deenK.'eseaoite, it was itne
possible<'d/anything a;•1 the electric
ight wires (had. appa.re ly burned
through, and.a.11,,weae-eilf darkness, and
lot a thing was saved. •
The ringing of the fire alarm, and
the telephones soon brought a crowd,
who formed a bucket brigade from the
river and the street well.; Willing
workers climbed -ill e roofs of build-
inis, and by hard work kept them
dreuched well, and the fire was pre-
vented from spreading in •spite of the
high wind.
Although at times it seemed like an
impossibility to save buildings dir-
ectly in the path of the flames, no
doubt the continuous • rains of the
night before had soaked things pretty
well, and helped a great deal. A
call was sent to Beussels, who res-
ponded with a chemical engine and.
brigade, but owing to the distance,
the danger was pretty well passed be-
fore they arrived, but their efforts
were appreciated • just the same, as
was the assistance of other towns and
surrounding country: Much sympathy
is felt for Mr. Robinson and family,.
who lost everything, as they resided!
over the store. The building was of:"
brick construction. The stock con-
sisted of dry goods on one side, and
groceries, boots • and shoes on the
other, divided by an arch -way, with
two storeys above used for a dwelling,
This wa sone of the old land marks
of the town. • • '•• •
We understand there was some.
$6,,soo insurance, altogether, which -
does not nearly cavil. the loss, as Mr.
Robinson carried quite a heavy stock
of valuable goods. The fire is sup-
posed to have started from an over-
heated furnace.
Other losses cakused by heat, were
R. j. Rano, Shoe Store front badly
scorched, and glass window broken,
Alen Monroe, two plate glass fronts.,
split; J. N .Allen, Drug Store, two big
glass fronts and window glass in the
rooms above; Davey's Store, one big
plate glass front and side 'windows, '
window glass in dwelling above. These
are covered by insurance. Bert
Ma.rtin's •house was badly scorched,
and his blacksmith shop was on fire
several times . Only persistent ef-
forts saved the Stock's block to the
South.
