Where doe a wine man spend hii time?
Not in the beer saloon.
Where are we rife from vice and crime
Not in the beer taloon.
fzOt onc'i plodding their fatal way.
Trace their norrowg to that dark day
When they were tempted first to stray
Into the beer saloon.
Where is the role of duty learned?
Not in the beer saloon.
Where is the riftht to manhood earned?
Not in the beer saloon.
Only the slave of the pewter pot.
The lover of rais and a wretched lot,
The idle hand and the hopeless aot,
Go to the beer saloon.
Where would you seek a faithful wife?
Not in the beer saloon.
Where would you look for a blameless life!
Not in the bepr saloon.
Many a wife and maiden rare,
Knew no wrone till they entered there;
Many a reputation fair
Lost id the beer siloon.
Where can old aec its solace find!
Not in the beer saloon.
Where mav our youth improve the mind?
Not in the beer saloon.

A Tine Business
T'nder this head the New York Witness

"Plant worth 400; profits. KO.OOO a year
that i the apparently authoritative rec
ord of the business of Alderman Michael
Kenna, of Chicam, popularly known as
'Hinkv pink.' Mr. Kenna is n saloon

fixtures, valued at 400. and the brewery
which supiMes him has presented him with
a dinmnnd badte in recognition of the fact
that lie has disposed of 30.000 barrels of
hT in five rears. Jt seems that Mr.
Kenna pars 3 a barrel for the beer and
rets POO (tlasseg out of each barrel, which
he sells at five cents a (lass, leaving him
10 a ban-el profit. His expenses are said

Heaven's ultimatum to the Christian
world! We arc accustomed to think of nil
such calls of God as belonging distinctively
to those who hnve not nccepted Christ.
This chapter speaks to acknowledged be
lievers in Und.
It is the voice of the Holy Ohost. The
long parerthesis of our Scripture lesson
comes to our hearts, perhaps, as a sur
prise, that there is something else for us to
do than merely to profess. We listen
with wonder as to a new snspel. We think
we hnve "heard His voice." what need
have we to hark buck to those old sinful
children in the wilderness, nnd their forty
days of nnathy nnd childish ingratitude;
"tempting" (Jod though they saw His won
derful works nil those ve.irs. God was
grieved with them, "They hnve not known
Mv ways. C'.in it be tlint we arc grieving
Him 111 the same wnv?
And whnt is this "rest" that "thev mieht
not enter into?" Not the rest of the Sab
bath, though mere rest from labor was un
doubtedly the first meaning of the promise
for a people yet unable to understand any
burlier rest.
J. Edwards says:
"Eveiy time the. promise is renewed it is
presented in a higher anil more spiritual
form. Every rejection inevitably lends to
grosser views nnd more hopeless unbelief.
So entirely false is the fable of the Sibyl.
God docs not hum some of the leaves when
His promises have been rejected, and come
hack with fewer offers at a hinhcr price.
His method is to offer more nnd better on
the sn no conditions. Itut it is the nature
of unbelief to cause the heart to wax
gross, to blind the spiritual vinion, until,
in the end. the rich, spiritual promises of
God and the earthly, dnrk unbelief of the
sinner stand in extremest contrast.
The promise is next presented ns the rest
of t'annnn. The rest now consists
111 the enjoyment of material prosperitv.
" But even in this second Garden ot
Men Israel did not attain unto God's rest.
orloliness became their snare.
The call is nt Inst urgent. 'To-day!' It is
the last invitation. It lingers in'the ears
111 ever fainter voice of prophet nfter pro
phet, until the prophet's face turns toward
the east to announce the lirenU of iliwn
and thn coming of the perfect rest in Jesus
Christ."
And to our astonished hearts Taul adds
IH Wa.nintr for illimerltntp nptinn "Vhr.
fine, take heed, brethren." nnd we realize
there is a pnisiliilitv tlint Ave linvi Itnnn
"departinsf from the living Goil " nnd ihnt-
our only hope of entering into the rest of
Christ's peace is (o hear the call to day.

Companionship With the Uooil.
Wlmt a new comnlexion this would lend
to life, if, as we stepped out from our
homes we could rea lixi that w sura
going forth, not to make a living, not to
eurn our salary or stipend, not to amuse,
instruct, or legislate tor men, as our pri
mary object, but to discover what God
was doing in the world, and to give Him
jnich help as we could! It may seem a
high and impossible idea, but the more ono
thinks of it the more it prows unnn tUn
mind. We ure bidden by the apostle to
abide with Ood in every calling in which
e were canea. ive Know that ho claimed
to be a fellow worker or coin borer with
Cod and why should the significance of
such a conception be reserved for the mis
sionary or minister of religion alone?
Nothing so degrades our toil ns the con
stant thought of the pay we shall receive,
for doing it. If tins is liberal, we are apt
to be cheerful and deft-handed; if it ia
meager and stinted we grumble and move
to it a slaves. But if we once realized
thnt our work was with Ood, how eager,
how quick, how strenuous would be our
endeavors, that we might not disappoint
nor fail Him! Since companionship with
the great and good is always a jovful thing
it would put a song on our lips if we real
ed toe blessed copartnership in our toils
with God. Christian Endeavor.
