Take a firm, definite stand aganst every

Jesus and Paul. The .parent of crime
and pauperism in our country today is
the ;diner traffic. .It thrives in dank-
ness, behind screens. It could not for a
moment endure the gaze of an enlight-
ened people. And yet this iniquitous
(hind the law of
d
' entrenched traffic
is reach( b
the land and public opinion. The super-
lative duty of the Christian citizen is to
oppose and denounce this vile, soul•de-
stroying business, by voice, by pen, by
vote,

more than 000 hundred million dollars

us for one moment see the heartache
and sorrow-' and disease and death that
it brings to 10; blighting, ruining, curs-
ing wherever it touches; and then with
an enlightened and awakened public eon -

blem of death, and both sleep and death
are used to represent the soul in a sin-

darkness, (4) inactivity, (5) unconcern;

PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS.
Some remarkable contrasts are found
in the chapter from which our lesson is
taken. These contrasts, applied to the
effects of intemperance and temperance,
are: The
1. Darkness, light (vs. 11. 13).
intemperate love the darkness because
their deeds are evil (John 3, 19), and
their works are "works of darkness"
(v. 11). They seek the night for the
drunken revelry, the darkness to 00000
their shame. Those who tempt or aid the
intemperate until they fall to the 1010 -
est depths or meet an awful death, nre
workers of darkness as well as those led
astray. John G. Woolley says: "A boy
is found dead at the foot of a stairway
or below a bridge, with a letter from
era
;hero
his mother, and a stained 1 g 1ilnol
n sweet, patient looking:face in Ino poc-
ket. He is known to (hare been afire

killed this boy?' cries the coroner, and we
from the thick cover, pipe like n quail,
`Bob White, Bob White, Bob White is
the saloon -keeper; and' ..when accused
he says and truly, 'The Mayor gave ere
leave;and we pipe up the mayor, who
defendshimself
by
saying,'The
legisla-
ture, w'hic'h answers, and truly, '1 an
the voice of the people crying in the gov-
ernment: Prepare ye the way of the
liquor traffic; make its path straight
and respectable -or expensive, which is
the sante thing.' So the coroner, the
judge. the legislature, and the voter
play blind man's buff with murderers,
and Christian men are tying to draw
the ark of God in government, with a
license and an indictment, driven tan.

commonwealth'sand, for: the purpose of

tice is judiciously dispensed with'"
"Whntsoeyer doth make manifest is
light" (v. 13), The temperate are, among
the "children of light" (1 These 5. 5),
Christ is "the light." Sober living has
no need of darkness to cove' its deeds.
All is "clear as the sun" (S. of S, 6: 10)
to those who are to inherit that holy
city whose light is "clear as crystal"
IL Asleep, awake (v. 14.) Old, Testa-
ment wisdom describes the drunkard as
one who "lieth down in the midst of the
sen, or as he that lieth upon the top of
night, one of the survivors was hurled
into the air while asleep. lits sen0atie1
was that of being transported swiftly
and delightfully through the nir. He
awoke to fund 11ims01f sinking in the
waves, The drunkard rd will cue d,1;,
awaken from the illusion that he is Be-
ing tolverd heaven, to find that he is
sinking into hell. Awake, 0 sleeper, be-
fore it is too late. Relieve, on the Lord
,;esus Christ (Acts 16; 31.) Begin to
lire (John v; 24,) I'ut off the old matt
which is corrupt, and put on the new
man which after God is (rented in right-
eousness and true holiness (Ppb, 4; 22-
24,) Rejoice in the Lord (Phil. 4; 4.)
'rake Jesus as your example (1 Peter 2;
21.) Any say with the npostle, Blessed

Teens Christ, 'which

unto it living hope by the resurrection
of Jesus Christ from the dead, unto an
inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled,
and that fadeth not away" (1 Pet, 1; 3,
4, R. V.) •
III. Fools, wise (vs, 15-17.) No man
is ever wise. but Maly are fools through
strong drink.. Dnmkcnnees more than
any other habit lends to foolish and
endless talking, revealing scorers, vile
conversation, shouting and noisy demon-
strations, On the other hand, the wise

At present the indications are that the
foreign exporting countries will not pro.
dace 1110•e than an average crop of cloy

to be short. In some sections of Ontario
the clover crop was seriously affected
by draught last 00115511, and the amount
available this year for seed production
may be limited. ,\lucln the same condi•
tions prevail over a considerable portion,
of the clover seed' producing area of the

In growing clover and grass seed for

than it was a few years ago. The de-

every possible precaution against the
presence of noxious weed seeds..
'fie fust step in Go production of
good clover and grass seed is to procure
the cleanest possible seed. ,If this is

weeding is of prime importance, al-
though it is often overlooked. A1'llen we
remember that every growing: weed, if

Mr, R. 3. Arlen, 401 City Hall Ave.,
Montreal, Quebec, is an old gentleman
of wide acquaintance, having served
thirty-eight years in the General Post-
of3lce of Montreal, a record which
speaks for itself. Concerning 1110 use of
Peruna, see letter given below.
"I have been afflicted with nasal
catarrh to such a degree that it affected
my hearing.
This was contracted some twenty
years ago by being exposed to draughts
and sudden changes of temperature.
"I have been under the treatment of
specialists and have used many drugs
recommended as specifics for catarrh
in the head and throat -all to no par-
pose.
"About three years ago I was induced
by a confrere 1n office to try Peruna,
"After some hesitation, as I had
doubts as to results after so many
failures, I gave Peruna a trial, and am
happy to state that after using eight or

•'Ili' heart aloe my flesh crietli out for

1f you lout: into the Psalm from which
1119 text is token, you will see that it
would be impossible fbr David to use
stronger language than ho does to ex-
press.bis desire, for in the second verse,
the :loglicuu Sy0011 meeting in St. from te111011 we guru( scleetcd our text, he
says, "My soul loogetb." The word 10
the original is stronger than that, The
literal translation would, perhaps, be
more after this sort: "\fy soul 11014
grown 111110. 1t is 1'011y to faint array
for the courts of the Lord"
Just as intense desire will eat into •
the strength of our manhood, and put a
premature paleness upon the cheek, and '
earlier furrows on the. brow, "ser" says`
the Psalmist, "my soul is literally ;Ail-
ing away to he found once 000'0 with
the Lord's people:
As if that were not enough, he adds:
"Yea, even faintetlt"; and the idea there
is consumed with desire. And then he
goes one step fin'then "51y heart and my
flesh crieth out for the living Gad" They
can contain their desires no longer, and
so my tongue lnaketh this wilderness to
echo with my call, I cry until these rug.',
ged mountains send hack the sorrowful
notes of my voice, "fly heat and my
flesh crieth out for the living God:'
You will see that, after all, the Psalm -
1st reaches the climax of desire, not
when he speaks of the sanctuary, Mut of
God Himaelf, ",ley heart and my flesh
crieth out" --not for the tabernacle -
not for the services of the priesthood
there -not for the multitudinous sant-
Rees and burnt offerings, but for (god --

the. c (1(110iu at the Central Prison, Rev,
1i. Seaborn, to the effect that, while
1110 Salvation Army are "doing a noble
it d adulint bbe work in this regard, far
MIMI we should be thankful," yet "at
thv carne time we should feel very mach
,asl01003 o1' ourselves as a ch01011 in
f,ront0 that we are assuming our share
tit this work in connection with the
(11111al Prison and the 5101001' Reform-
atory." 11011. 11. S. Blake and •Rev. Dr.
1:. A. Langfeldt and others strongly re -
511111d the idea of the Church of Eng-
land being at fault and ashamed, and
criticised the Salvation Army for prose -
"flow is it," asked Rev. AIr. Seaborn,
"that the Roman Catholics have a sep-
arate chapel, where no 1111(0 11111 11 110-,
11(1(11 Catholic 0011 enter, while I have to
pun up with a room that is used for
various purposes, as a Sunday sellogl
room, au concert hall and others? The
Church of 1':nglend should have it 1111111
jut 101' that work alone, as the Roman
Catholics have, and he placed 511 the
an110 footing."

also be maintained for Ivork in the Mer-

thing about what other people are do-
ing," said Capt. VcltnolI, eh,joeting to
the mention of the work d0110 by .the
Salvation Army and the Bunten Catho-
lic chaplain.. "Oh, that, is quite light,"
said 11r. Blake, ":1e are. 511091y stat-
ing it tract, not commending or anything
else. Let the ;loons; Catholic Church
have the praise they deserve. Give the
devil his due." .
"If this proposal," said \6•. Blake, "is
for the Church of England to cease 015
operating with the prisoners' aid :1000•

Now," continued Ali'. Blake, "if in this
day of co-operation the Church of Eng.
land is going to pull out from this and
say 'We won't work with you; why, let
us do it openly',,'
