Snow, front a theialst'e eleodpoint,
has a superla Lilo whiteness, The
purest of all vapore is that found
far up in tho 1100801.0. Along comes
a sudden cold Wave and it freezes
that vapor into suowflakes, just as
thnt cold wove can freeze falling
raindrops into hailstones whirls pat-

the air it comes to us as while as it
is possible for anything to be, And
yet there is a stem in which the
psalmist is right in saying tha3. God
can wash away our slim until W0

THIS DRUNKARD'S SINS.
'e do not; bind the imagination of
the poet with the rigid bonds of
scicintific accuracy. Ile is accorded
O Ileenee to see and hear with his
spirltual eyes and ears scenes and
110011d8 not scientifically true.
Though these words of my text may
not be literally true, in the figura-
tive language of the psalmist they
aro poetically so. They may mean
In the eonon.on language this :
Though your past lives show stains
RIM: seem to you indelible as scarlet,
though you hayo committed sins
which have not only corrupted your
own soul, bid have laid the souls of
othees, like tho human sacrifice of
the Aztec: sun. worshipers on the fiery
altars, ;vet even for you there are
pardon and cleansing, if you %vitt ac-
cept them. Like tho prodigal 13. his
tetme and tatters, there is a home for
you in the Father's house. Though,
like Paul, you -have to acknowledge
yourself the chief of sinners, like him
you inny find gt•ace and have the
honor of toiling in Christian service.
Christ is ready to cleanse the
druid:sled's silts. Those are neither
few nor 8=11, for the drunkard's
sins can drag a man down so low
that 110 will lose all 8C1150 of decency
and respect. They can change a
man into a. condition more imbruted
than that of a Wild beast. The
drunkard after awhile seems LO 330-
001110 as unquenchable ia his pas-
sions as the patient whose vomeSous
appetite is insatiable after a long
tack of typhoid fever. The drunk-
ard's craving will make a man lie
and steal mid destroy his 1101110 and
his business. The drunkard's eine
Will eat out a man's heart as well
as his brain. The drunkard's sine
aro like the legion of (1emons which
took possession of the poor maniac
who, naked and alone, haunted the
tombs of the Gaclarenes, aod, like
them, they may be exorcised by the
same divine power. They axe the
direct and indirect; ceoase of countless
other sins.
REDDEST OF ALL SINS.
!The drunkard's sins, without doubt
must be classed among the'reddest of
all scarlet sins. Now conies the
practical question, Will God, cleanse
the drunkard's shlS 7 When Wo Say
ho is rt. loathsome, heartless, good
for nothing drunkard (10 W0 1110011,
"There 18 no hope for the drunk-
ard ?" Some of us have such a
lack of faith that we do mean this;
bat God never meant nor said it.
"Purge ine with hyssop and I shall
he clean; wash me, and I shall be
whiter than suow," is a direct re-
futation of the charge that Ohrist
will not forgive tho drunkard's sins.
Oh, man, though by drunkenness you
have sold your home under the sher-
iff's hammer, though you have wrOck-
ecl your business and had your oyes
horror struck with the kaleidoscope
of delirium tremens, yet there is
even pardon and peace for you I

Mans' people' are apt to look upon
immoral outcasts in the saute way
that the stern old Scottish elder
looked upon the aetions of Ills way-

in Ian Maclaren's "Bonnie Brier

PARDON 10011 ALL.
Christ le ready to forgive the mur-
derer's sins. 13y that do I moan
that he Is ready to forgive the high-
wayman, who with lifted gun, shoots
down the innocent pedestrian? By
that do I mean that Christ is itencly
to forgive the fiend who poisons the
helpless child or who in the dark
night drives thes,knife into the heart
of his sleeping adversary? Yes, Jes-
us is ready to forgive the co.noleted
murderer though he may be standing
upon the scaffold under the hang
man's noose, about to expiate 1)18 ,00-
(111 crime. "Pardon for all" is the
meaning of my text—parcion and
peace and eternal life for all, no Mat-
ter how vile, if in sincere repentance
they will come to him and plead for
his mercy through his atoning se.cri-
flee.
NO SINN.E13. NEED DESPAIR.
But among the murderers Viso are
to be pardoned I would also Moss
those who have slain their victims by
false signs, as well 08 by bullet or by
gun. I -To is ready to forgive those
Who have slain by the lip as well as
by the hand. In olden times the
pirates along the coast of Englancl
used to change the positions of the
lights. Then the sea captains, watch-
ing the beckonings of the false lights,
would drive their boats upon the
rocks and be wrecked. TIM pirates
would rifle the drowned bodies as
they would be floated upon the shore,
and gather together the wrecked car-
goes. They wore anuederers—murder-
ors whose *weapons otere false lights,
So God will forgive even those mur-
derers Who have destroyed their fel-
low mon by 31050 examples as well
as lie will forgive those who have
murdered them with the 'dagger or
the gun,
"What!" some murderer says, "par-
don for my scarlet sins? Oh, no! It
cannot be true. Why, you do not
know what you are saying. My sins
are worse than scarlet. They aro
black with the hopdessness of de-
spair. There can he na pardon for
me. Let 111.0 tell yott awful
story: Wlien I 00111 to college,
was a Wry wild boy. I had there a
roonunato. who was the son of a min-
ister. He was a ruddy faced lad and
as pure as a little child. I taught
him how to drink and how to gam-
ble. I urged Min out of his belief in
the BIble. I led him on, stop by
step, into the paths of sin. Ono night
—I can remember the time as tlioug*h
yesterday—he sat; upon the corner of
his bed, and, with a strange light in
his eyes', he turned and looked at 1110
and said; 'Jim, do you really believe
that my mother's Bible is only a
pack of superstitions? Ilo yott be-
lieve there is no 11011?"Yes, Harry,'
I answered. Then went on to con-
vince Min of it. Then he laughed a
horrible laugli, Then he turned and
said: 'Well, old superstition, good-
bye, good-byel May you live long
enough to soften the dying pillow of
my mother and father, hut aa Par me,
good-bye, good-bye! Come, Jim,
let's go and take a drink.'
ItEADY TO FORGIVE,
"From that 'Inoment, sit*, that
young fellow let loose all his evil
desires. Ile Reamed to leap into a
vet•y whirlpool of SM. Within a few
months lie was expelled from college.
Within two years ha conunitted std-
cide, and this is the letter he weot
on the night of his self mut•der: 'Dear
Mother --This is the last lettee you
will ever receive from me, I have
broken your heart, but try to forget
and forgive. If there Is no hell, as
Jim says, this world is a hell enough
for see. It'ront your disgraced and
dying boy.' " " 'llicl you do all
that?' " " 'Yes,' he answered. "Well
my friend, 7 know not. how Clod will
forgive, bat ho can ond be will. 'The

PEEP INTO LAW COURTS
WHERE BRITISH JIYSTICE
SITS IN ITS BIA,TESTY.
Some Account of the Surround-
ings of London's Law
ourts.
Tim high courts of Justice; from the
dingy courLS of summary jurisdietion
in a mean street to the imposing
buildings In the Steand eonstitidee
as big a Lillian:pee as between the
class of ease taken in each. To pro-
perly appreciate the amount of work
and business transacted in this great
warren of corridors alld 000100 would
necessitate the spendiog of a week; at
least in its precincts. Lstner by the
maguificent hall, walk its leisgth, and
if tempted select one of the dark op-
enings which apparently lead to crypt -
like ebanibere. When the eyes have
sufficiently adapted themselves to the
gloom, one Is offered a choice of
ways; in fact, staircases and pussag-
es radiate all directions. Promin-
ent notices on otherwise bleuk stone
walls help the stranger but little, and
risking a mistake, you make headway
for the most imposing set of steps.
For all the world it is like being 111
a castle. Through loop -holo windows
private staircases are to be seen wind-
ing spirally into an outer darknese;
the arched end grolned roofs strike
you as distinctive features, the p00011-'
00 Ivitulo.ve starve an already impov-
erished light. Finally the corridor is
gairted, and yott are immediately
struck by tho remarkable business of
the place. The cloister -like passage
resounds with the steps of scores of
busy barristers, counsel anti witnesses.
Every few paces reveals a consulting
room, 00 all alcove where evidence is
gone over point by point before being
submitted to the jury; here, too, cas-
es are "settled out of court."
OVFIRPOWERING OPPRESSION.
At times the.corridor is more ani-
mated than the Strand outside; peo-
ple see111, to start front nowhere, and
disappear likewise. Without pause
the glass doors swing noiselessly to
and fro, impassive jattiLors guard
their motion, and at the same time
exercise some discretion as to admit-
ting persons into court. Having suc-
cessfully passed the officer and draw-
ing back the heavily-camtained door,
you are in one of the eighteen courts
set aside for the yearly increasing lit-
igation of the country. At least, it
Is lighter in here; the sunlight
streams in through the diamond -p00-
31(1 windows, and so softlsr suffused
through the frosted -glass roof, lilven
with this the overpowering oppression
caused by the heavy masonry is not
to be overcome; neither does the oak
Paneling—heavy and enduring—help
as a relief. Everything is substanti-
al, AS though Oa courts had been d-
eigned to last for all time—and a day
afterwards.
LIFE'S VARIED PHASES.
Each &suet reveals a distinct phase
of life; needless to soy, the purely
commercial chancety and admiralty
cases find less attentive and crowded
audiences than arc to be found in. the
ICing's bench division and the divorce
court. If on any mortitng a long
queue is seen extending along the
Strand pavement, it is a sufficient
sigil that a cause colebro is in pro-
gress, and that the limited capacity
of a panic:utast court will be over-
taxed. The public: gallery will be
crowded by fashionable people, or 011
obliging tipstarf will secure a seat
03. tho back of the court; the middle
benches monopolized by riSing barris-
ters, e111010I(5 to learll some point;
of procedure and to closely study
from the 11. 0.'s in the front botch-
es for their anethod of conducting ex-
aminntions; on the first seat of all,
hedged in by a rOrilliCiahla array of
brief -boxes, are the solicitors aral
311010 clerRs, The jury are almost on
a level with the judge, and the press
generally manages to monopolize all
the seats allotted to them, and the
staies as well. It Is a most, inter-
esting sight, especielly when the at-
tention of tho whole court is con -
contested on some piece of evidence
given by the importnnt witness who
stands in the witness -box, which in
all the courts is prominently situated
and is on a level with the Judge.
