"Icould tell frone the breathing there were two persons sleeping in the room, but to make certrant as to where the furniture stood I let a bit of light out of my lantern and took a quick glance at the bed.

In this lesson, God, by um mouth of His prophet, pronounces a woe on tire inhabitants of Ephraim probably including the ten tribes. The cepital city, Samaria, is re - correct to as the 'Crown of Pride," and the "glorious beauty W111011 le on the head of the fat valley:, 1. Of this city God( said: "It is a fad- ing flower." e. God not only accuses the men of Ephraim of being drunk- ards, but eomparee them to a com- pany of men indulging in krone; drink and revelry. 3. Characters of this kind always come to shame as a result of their own indulgence. The fertile valleys made the proud city of Samaria possible. The Lord of hosts is "a crown of glory and a diadem of beauty,', and "a spirit of Judgment" and "strength" for .them that trust in Him. These are the blessings that God brings, to Judah,. "the residue of Dfis people." "Bat they also have erred through wine, and through strong drink aro out of the way; the priest and the prophet have erred through strong drink, they are swallowed up of wine, they are out of the way through strong drink; they err -in vision, they Amble in Judgment:, Notwith- etanding these bleseings promleed, yet became they have sinned simi- ler to Ephraim, they must endure similar punishment& Intemperance has been a vice of the human family throngh all time and probably among all people.

No licenses aro required, no public notice of any kind. If a couple de- cide to be married on the instant they ean be accommodated bY simple finding tbe preacher. In response to such requests the preachers cheer. fully perform ceremonies. In five minutes after a couple have rapped on the parish Ileum door they may go forth wedded. All the preacher has to do is to fill out the 'legal blanks and forward them to the Bu- reau of Vital Statietics. His com- pensation for wadding couples is in the form of fees, witteli range from ono dollar to tewnty-five dollars. Fees form the element of a game of chance. Men Most Antaid. • Whether from a sense or his im- pending responsibilities or not, it Is the experience of most preachers that the man will &how less nerve at a wedding ceremony' titan a wo- men.This is ascribed to the Oi- lier that women are glad to get married, as It is the consummation of their life's wise, while mon leek upon it no a radical change fromethe normal condition Of things.

Another time I married an old man, who was not dressed stylishly at all, but who laid $20 dollars on the table when the cere- mony was completed. It developed that this man was a wealthy lumber man from Pennsylvania. "It is always a cause of regret to have to send couples away unmar- ried. But I never hesitate when sorup- les aro involved. I would never merry a man or a woman who has a wife or a husband still living, unless they were divorced for some particular muse. It is always a joy to perform marriages when I ean, however." "I have menial about 800 atm- ples," said Dr. Powers. "Most of them are still married, and that surprises me. It goes to show with with bow- little good sense there can bo a reasonably successful and happy marriage. "There were some men who did not know enough to take oft thetr hats; there wore women marrying old soldiers for pensions; there were old men marrying girls and old girls marrying boys. These people havo been all the way from 16 years to 81 years old, and I cannot see that the old choose any more wisely then the young. Early marriages aro bad. Girls rawer; show more nerve than men at the altar.

But still I am sought out and have a great many ceremonies to perform. I am always glad to do It If a couple comes to me and answer 'are questions satisfactor- ily, I marry them at once and let them go on their wny rejoicing. "Yes, I have had many rather amusing experiences. 1 remember one case not icing ago, where tile young woman told me that she was ‘1,41tIOT the legal age.

In; a freer society where each person enjoyed the full fruits of his labor these laws would be every- where operative, and the problems of Marriage and divorce would bo simplified.

If the will is vicious or untamed or selfish, smoothness or tearfulness of dispo- &Mon are but repugnant to Him. If the will is true and sincere, and bent toward His oladience, even a rough and unemotional temperament will not dismay Him. It is easier working through the will to alter the disposition than working through tee dispoeition to setae the will. - Robert el. Speer. The natural end - of life, and the moral purpose ot life, aro different. The natural end of lifo is death in common speeehe but what wo call death may bo only the beginning of it larger fife iu another term. Death, then, may not be the end of all; it may bo but another beginning. The moral putpose with which we live thus becomes the matter of first importance. As personality persist and triumphs through death, -so moral purposes will live on when natural impulses aro lost The moral end - of living must be "Inward" in the heart of man. it Must be something that wilt mould the character and form and faell- ion the man. The value of the moral end is incalculable,. and its at- tainment Is tho only true happiness for its. Th 'e standard by which we determine this moral end is HOMO - thing absolute, anti not within the competence of any man or of all Men to alter or a.bolish'.-Christian Guardian'. --- A famous English gardener once heard a nobleman cemplabangly say: "I cannot have a rose garden, though I have often tried, because the soil round my Nestle is too poor for meta."
