PLEDGE y o u r s e l f . ,An Important Safeguard and a Protective * Agent In Tima o f Temptation. Among the agencies employed for tho promotion of tho Temperance reform, from almost its earliest Inception, the pledge has been pre-eminent for ef­ ficiency and power. The first consider­ ation in relation to .the use: of intoxi­ cants is personal. Is abstinence an in­ dividual duty? Are Intoxicating her orages, used in “moderation,” harmful? Eminent specialists who have made a most thorough Investigation .of the al­ cohol question as experts are agreed that alcohol has no food value; that ita presence in the human system, even in small quantities* is *n irritant poison, and that the best work la best done without it The verdict of science against alcohol in its relations to health" and longevity is fully corrob­ orated -by the practical, economic re­ sults of life insurance. No insurance company will take drunkards because of the extra-hazardous risk; lnauranee in separate sections.by the same com­ pany of abstainers and non-abstainers has demonstrated conclusively the larger death rate among non-abstain­ ers nearly equal each year to the “table* of expectancy,** while on -the part of abstainers the actual death rate has been uniformly much below, the “expected'* deaths. The Insurance Guardian, referring recently to this hnbjeofc quotes a contemporary as say­ ing*: “Itls anabsolutely proved factthat obronlo drinking of even small quanti­ ties of eloohollo beverages tends most materially to increase the risk by short­ ening life and by weakening the consti­ tution* so that even a trivial Illness may at once kill or forever damage the health;” and itself adds; “This witness is true, and eyen the most prejudiced are gradually arriving at the same con­ clusion, being unable to resist tbe ever- accumulating evidence” Apart from other andoverwhelmingmoral consider­ ations, advocates of the total sbstlnenoo pledge may rely with utmost confidence upon the correctness and wisdom of their position, as confirmed by sclentlflo research and by the actual demonstra­ tion of life insurance experience. The human body is the living temple of an immortal soul. As such it should he kept free from aloohplio taint Of this the total abstinence pledge, conscien­ tiously observed, is a guarantee. The pledge is an important safeguard, especially for the young and for those who bate .fallen under bondage to ab­ normal alcoholic appetite. Three young men, students, were recently at an en­ tertainment where wines and other liquoTi were served. Importuned to drink one, a pledged abstainer, resisted and declined; the other two, unpledged, yielded, and one, a bright, promising young man, and a member of a popular Sabbath-school, was led home at a late hour, by his abstaining friend, In a state of maudlin inebriety, ton widowed mother and sisters, who were on his so- coont plunged into deep distress. Not long ago a beautiful young girl# a resi­ dent of Brooklyn, accepted an invita­ tion from a young man, trustedns her friend, to visit New York, and to call at a house in an up-town street, where he assumed to hare aoquaintenoee and friends, There wae nothing in the ex­ terior to indicate improprietyor danger. Once within the house aha was invited, and moat importunately urged, to take wine, and, if not .wine, then beer. Ae a Sabbath-school girl she was subscribed to the total abetfnenoe pledge, to which She resolutely adhered, and in this hoar of a grave peril she knew not ot, i t wee her timely shield, end she left the place unharmed, to learn with horror later that the house to whieh she had been beguiled with evil purposes was one of those whose open deer la the portal to sseral ralu. Alike to tile young and inaxparlenead, end tothaeawbo hava already forme* the alcoholic appetite, and would eaeapo from lf« M l * the total atetlaeMo pledge is a symbol of safety and deilv- eraaost . With the absorbed inforoat In fteant Peer* j « Tempefanaa lagialatiou and politics, the pledge has not had every­ where the attention its Importance de­ mands. As Father Mathew, its great apostle, came to fully realize, it must needs be supplemented by effective leg­ islation to do its perfect work for the community, but its relation to the per­ manent progress of the Temperanoe re­ formis fundaments!. There are multi-' tudospf young men and young women to whom it has never been presented. It is invaluable as an ai&ln rescue work among the intemperate and the tempt­ ed, but It has a still larger preventive value'among the young- Every Chris­ tian church, ae docs the Salvation Army, should make it a condition of membership, and every Sabbath-school should provide and require it for its su* Dorintendent, teachers and scholars. In the presence of the still mighty Uquoi hosts, good men and women everywhere Should unite in a pledge revival, anden­ roll themselves undpr.,thebanner of the regenerating army of pledged abstain­ ers*—National Temperance Advocate. DISREPUTABLE BUSINESS. TU* Seller o f Intoxicating Drink Has No Fine* Among ffWapectable Men. In the course of a series of evangeli­ cal services at Plainfield, N. J., recent­ ly, the liquor dealer* of tbe placo were asked to close their bars one evening, a request with' whieh they all complied. Stich concession* to Christian sonti- .pSent are so rare?on the part of liquor sellers that the' fajtaooms ufp,r,thy!of record here. One charge wo have to bring agafosrtho selforaof prog ft thatT as a general rule, they appear to have no.regard whatever for even the com­ monest courtesies which obtain among man of business. In the various meet­ ings and conferences of liquor men much 1 b said about conducting their business so as to gain “the respect of the community,** hut we have yet to know of a single case where this has been.done. In the nature of things we da not believe that it can be done. As we regard the liquor trafflo, it would bo' just as impossible for a man engaged in it to gain tho respect of a community as it would be for a gambler or a highway­ man to gain the respect of his viotims. In the cose at Plainfield, tbe liquor dealers who closed theirdoors one even­ ing on account of evangelistic service, virtually acknowledged that their busi­ ness was antagonistic to the work of saving souls. The only way that a liq­ uor seller can hope to gain the respeot of any olass of' men, whose respect ft worth having, is by getting ont of the business as quickly as possible.— Christian at Work. , ■* " ” SH O R T SERMONS .

T he women in Rhineland, Holland, have signed a petition to tho burgo­ master, praylng..that {‘the police officers may visit the inns, to prevent our hus­ bands and sons from staying there far into the night Further, we are ot opinion that the money squandered there could be more advantageously •pent at home.” A t tbe Baptist State convention re­ cently held in Elgin, I1L, representa­ tives of ninety thousand Baptists re- "solved ’That we urge all person* con­ nected with our churches to use their influence and vote definitely for the suppression of the liquor traffic and' lend no countenance to the pernicious license system.” H kbe is e suggestive point or two from a Chicago paper: “ If all the saloons were closed at midnight the pro­ portion of crime In this city would be reduced one-third, perhaps, one-half. Whisky Is at tha bottom of most crime bar-room whisky—and the bar-room whisky ,'jsg* does not often take on a murderous aspect before the witching hour. If the saloons were closed et midnight the thieves, sandbaggers, mur­ derers, loafers would he sent sknrrying homeward, having no ether place to go, and the streets would wear the garb of peace.” If this would work so well, why not figure on the result of dosing those crime-breeders seven days in the week?—Christian at Work.

It is In a forming community, where there is no town exoept the “church, school-house and blacksmith shop” at the crotw-roads. It held Its meetings in the charch every two weeks, and onoe a month they “staid to supper,” : and had exercises in the evening, charg­ ing ten cents for supper and evening entertainment. After awhile a non­ partisan breeae blew over that way, and caused the church to be closed against the Temperance meetings. They were then transferred to the school-house, but the same influence soon closed it.
