Surrounded by the Pharisees with their eold formal Ism, and tho Sad ducees with their skepticism, to say nothing of the publicans and sin ners with all their vices, this young man had the moral bravery to step out before them all and exhibit a keen desire to know and do the right. He came to Jesus with a queS' 1 1 o n concerning God's first and great commandment for man, and the Master's answer places hlin at once In his true position before the Lord What Jesus told this young man of long ago can still be said of many today: "Thou are not far from tho kingdom of God." 1. He was in a very promising post tlon, "not far from the kingdom. He was acquainted with the truth to a certain extent, being In the position of many today who are able to tell much about the truth of the Bible: but they themselves are still "with out." Ho a'so assented to the truth. This. too. describes many of to day who make no profession of Chris tianlty: they not only know much of the truth, but they are quite ready to agree that it Is truth. He also admired the One who told him the truth; he came to Jesus. And It may safely be presumed tha tin attemnted to live his creed. He was a sincere man who caught the at (entlon of Jesus and drew from him this word, "Thou are not far from the kingdom of God." A great truth is here, viz... that one can be at the very door of the kingdom and yet be finally lost. Some who read these word may bo In the same position, at the threshold but yet not In. 2. Ho was in a very painful posi tion; Just at the door, but not Inside. Ho would be condemned by his con science because of his acquaintance with tho truth. It would ever be tell ing him that he ought to step lnslrta and delay no longer. An unheeded conscience Is not pleasant to live with, and this young man's position would be painful in spite of Its prom ise. He would also be condemned by his reason because of his assent to the truth. To know that a certain action Is wise and yet not do It. Is to dis honor one's reason. Yet many there are today who have been brought to the gates of salvation but who have stifled the voices of conscience and reason and found themselves In the distressing position of this young man. He would be condemned by the words which Jesus addressed to him when he said, "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart." 3. He was In a very perilous posi tion; he might never get Into that kingdom from which he was then "not far." There was the danrer that he rest content with mere assent to the truth. He would be like a traveler w ho might go many days and stop Just one day's march from his goal; all his weary Journey would be useless without the final day's work. To he within a Btep of the kingdom of God and neglect to take that last step which would put one over tho threshold Is to take one'i place with all the unsaved. t There was the dancor, too, that he should put off the finiil step too long and his conscience become hardened and leave him without Its warning tones. "Almost" ennnot avnll, "almost" Is but to fall: Bnd, and. the bitter wall, "Almost, but lost." A distinguished preacher tells of a gentleman who heard someone preach from this text, and as the danger of neglect was presented he felt he was but a step from salvation. Instead, however, of taking that last step which separated between his soul and life, he put it off and returned to his home. Uetirlng, he fell into a restless sleep and began to dream. He thought he saw himself die and beheld his soul leaving his body. But he was dismayed to see a host of i.lns, which he recognized as his own, pursue his soul, and- It became sd terrible he could bear It no longer, but awoke. Springing from his bod he called his wife and telling her f.he dream declared that on the next Sunday he would go to the church and take the last step toward salvation. But as he spoke he gasped and fell at his wife's feet, dead. My dear reader, if you find yourself in the promising but painful position of this young man, will you not Just now exchange tint perilous place for the safe place by accepting the gra clous Invitation of Jesus, "Come unto me and I will give you rest?"

I.KHSON TEXT-Psalm J3. tloi.PEN TKXT The Lord Is my Bhcp- he.rd.- l's. 23:1. This Is the most famous of the shepherd king's writings. Probably written in his later life, be borrows bis figure from the experience of his youth. The relation of the lumb to David is a type to him of his rela tions to God. Israel's greatest poet bad ample time for meditation in the days of his youth as he followed the occupation of shepherd. His playing on the harp Is famous and he made the first official use of music in the worship of Jehovah (see I Chron. 15: 15-24). The word "Psalm Is from the Greek, and first meant a stringed in strument. The Hebrew title of this book Is "Praises." Of the ir.0 psalms David Is expressly credited with 73 To fully study this, the sweetest of all psalms, we must consider it verse by verse. , ' 1 (1) "My 8hepherd." The lamb Is David. The Shepherd Is Jehovah. The time is man's natural time on earth. The rest Is In the future. This Shep herd so provides that the lamb "shall not want." It is his business to care for his sheep. We are the sheep, Jesus is the Shepherd, and his sheep obey his voice (John 10.4. 5). We shall not want for food, for drink, for grace, for quietness, for companion' ship, for guidance and for welcome back to the fold at the end of tne aay or In the time of storm. (2) "He leadeth me." "The Lord is my Shepherd because (a) he bought me: (b) he feeds me; (c) he lends me." Robertson. To fully comprehend the deep significance of this psalm we must try to know the land of Palestine end tho habits of eastern shepherds; how they feed their flocks, know fiiem hv name, and keep constant vigil against the danger of flood and wild beasts. The Lord Is an mama unl shenherd. Interested In the ore as well as the w hole, and as such at- tamiA tn enoh Individual's need. He nrovidos a dace for us to "lie down In pastures of tender grass:" he also causes us to wnlk beside "waters of ouietness." He makes us to lie aown nl times and he knows where to lead providing at the same time both food and drink. :n "Ha restoreth my soul." The Rhenherd revives our fnintness. the lamb Is too weak, he carries It "In hi hnmn" until it is revived. Many are the ways he revives us. A word, a sentence, a paragraph, or an experl ene will ofttimes restore the sick wearv. sorrowful or Bln-bulTetecI enna of God. He also leads remember he nni hhva and his paths are naths of Dleasantness and of peace. His paths are "right tracks," not the of sin. We cannot walk in these paths without his leader hin. without his strengthening resi, without the invigorating looa aim drink which Is provided for us by the Good Shepherd. (4) "Yea though I walk." Just s every need has been and will be pro vided for (Phil. 4:19) even bo will every fear be banished. The flock has passed beyond the "tender grass ana "waters of quietness Into new ana trance experiences, into the vauey nf deenest darkness," riot alone the experience of physical death but all nf life's experiences tnai are snroim rri hv thick.

COUNTY NEWS, McCONNELLSBURQ, PA (Conducted by ths National Woman Christian Temperance Union.) BEER A POI80N. (By T. D. CnOTHETlH. M. IT) The boasted claims that beer Is food and gives vigor and strength are contradicted by statistics. In Munich, ermany. where the largest quantity 3t beer is consumed, per capita, of sny city, the mortality rate from heart uid kidney diseases Is double that oi iny other city. Everywhere this is confirmed, The beer drinker dies early from diseases of the heart and kidneys. If beer had any food elements and ere a tonic, exact measurements ana itudies of statistics would confirm it. but the evidence from these sources is entirely the opposite. The congested face, bloated body and dullness of body and mind are the best evidences 3f the poisoning and degenerative processes going on. There can be no ouflict of opinions on this, because it can be measured and stated in mathe matical terms, regardless of the theo ries. Alcohol absorbs the water from the ells and tissues, breaks up and dimin ishes their nutritive power, while beer ;reatcs new fermentlve and chemical hanges in the stomach. These pro :esses are cumulative, not only de- ilroylng the balance between waste snd repair, but adding immensely to tho waste, which permanently disturbs and destroys the vigor and health of the body. Beer Is a most Insidious poison be cause it produces other poisons, and Harts new processes of degeneration that are unknown until the final col lapse reveals them. PROBABLE ACTION OF SWEDEN Is Sweden to be the second nation of the world to outlaw the liquor, traf flc the first to follow the example of Russia? From the statements of Mr. Frederick Peterson In a recent maga tine article It seems probable. He says: "The present crown prince, who will be the next king if . he survives his father. Is a total abstainer and for bids the use of liquor in his household. Both houses of the parliament are In creasing their temperance member ship. Edward J. Wavrlnsky, the head of the Good Templars of the World, Is the tempernnee leader, as well as leader of the Social Democrats In the upper house." Mr. Peterson states that "133 or the 220 members of the house are total abstainers, and the majority of these are Social Demo, crats. This party has 87 members in the lower house and 14 In the upper, It being In the majority. In 1896 there was one member representing the So cialists In the lower house and exceed ingly few total abstainers. Now the Socialists are the leuders on this question. The working classes, the small wage earners, constitute this party. Who better than they know the evil of Intemperance? Woman municipal suffrage has placed many able women In city governments. They aro leaders In the temperance army, and It is sublime to see them and hear them speak for home aga'nst the rum seller whether it be In the public fo rum or in the city councils." LAST WORD IN BREWf:RY BUILD ING. An Immense placard o.i the top of a big brewery recently erected in Phil adelphla was a causo for comment by citizens who saw In It an unintentional prophecy. It read, "The Last Word In Brewery Building." Harry H. Paisley of Philadelphia, treasurer of the Read Ing rallwny and allied corporations. in a speech made at the annual ban ouet of the Pottsvllle Y. M. C. A.. called attention to the appropriate. noss of the placard In view of the fact that the Honor traffic is doomed. He declared that the one service for the uplift of society today Is tho bring Ing about of the death of the liquor traffic. He said the hand rrlting is on the wall and all liquor dealers and brewers would do well I get out of the business at once.. VOTE AS YOU PRAY. A child once was great. y dlstresnd hv the discovery that her brothers had sot traps to catch birds. Qnes tloned as to what she had done in the matter, she replied: "I prayed that the traps might not catch the birds." "Anything else?" "Yes," she said. "I then prayed that God would prevent the birds from get ting into the traps." "Anything further?" "Yes. 1 went out and kicked the traps all to pieces." SLUMP IN BREWERY VALUES. The growing temperance sentiment Is responsible for the fact that the Pittsburgh Prowlng company paid no dividends this year. As a result of the company's action, tho common stock w'ss forced down several points, and Pittsburgh Iirewing company bonds dropped to a low-record price. Independent Iirewing common also de clined three-fourths to two and three- fourths. RESTRICT BEER OUTPUT. According to the Lokal Anaelger, re strictions have been Imposed on beer production In Germany. Tlrst, the brewers were required to cut down the amount of malt 50 per cent. Then a decrease of 40 per cent was or deredthe authorities, later, to fix definitely the amount of malt each brewery may consume. WORKINGMAN'S FRIEND.

NOT QUITE A FAILURE MAN'S LIFE NOT A3 PLANNED, BUT DUTY WELL DONE. Quality of Self-Sacrlflce Counted For Much When Ambition Was Put Away at the Call of Filial Affection. I always like to see ambition in a boy," said the doctor. "The best men are those who as boys bad little op portunity, but who made the most of what they had. As a rule the boys who have worked their way through college are about the best fellows I know." I agree with you," answered tho schoolmaster. "But I sometimes think that there are boys who never go to college who have done even better. Did I ever tell you about John Smith? It was years- ago, and I was prin cipal of the school In a little country town. It was the only high school In the county, and the boys and girls from all round attended. Many of them could not get away from the farms until late in the season and so dropped in at any time during the term. Well, along about Thanksgiving John Smith arrived. He told me he lived six miles back in the country, snd had walked In. He was a big. well-set-up boy, with a bright, Intelli gent face, and I soon found that be had come to study. One day 1 was struck with tho amount of mud on his shoes. 'You must have a muddy walk to school,' I remarked. " 'Yes, sir,' he answered, the roafls are pretty bad.' And then I found out that ho walked the six miles In every morning and out again at night! If a boy took that trouble to get an educa tion, I was interested, and I had a quiet talk with hlra. He had a wid owed mother and a little sister, and they owned a small farm. For tho past two years John had done all tho work himself, and he still had to do it. That was the reason he had to live at home Instead of boarding In town. He told me that he wanted to go to college and become a doctor. His father had been an unsuccessful lawyer, who had given up his practice and bought the farm. John told me his plans. He was sure he could get another boy in the neighborhood to look after his place while he was at college, and his mother was as anxious for him to go as he was. "Naturally I gave him all the help I could, and although he had to leave early In the spring, I lent him honks and gave him a little personal aid in his work from time to time. Well, three years more passed In the same way. John kept well up with his studies by hard work, and at last he was ready to enter college. Ho was accepted for entrance on the school certlllente, and It was a pleas lire to see the glad look on his face when I showed him tho registrar's letter saying that he wbr admitted. He had savon" a little money from various odd jobs that he had done, and he told me that he was all ready financially for the first year, and that he had no doubt that he could manage the oth ers. 'I left tho school that year, hut Just before It was lime for college to open, I wrote John a letter of counsel and encouragement. 1 get this brief note In reply: 'I am sorry to say that 1 am not going to college.' "I made It a point to go down to see what had prevented him from carrying out his ambition. I found him hoeing corn. He was very glad to see me, and told mo what the trouble was. His mother had had a stroke of paralysis Without a murmur he had given up his cherished plan. When I asked him whether he could not get someone to take care of her, whllo he went on with hla course, ho told me that that was impossible, since his mother de pended so entirely upon him. I shall never forget the tragedy and love to gether In the boy's face as he talked to me of IiIb vanished hopes and watched his helpless mother." "I suppose ho got to college some how," remarked the doctor, "and Is now a famous surgeon." "No," replied the schoolmaster, "that was ten years ago, but I heard from him only yesterday. His mother la still alive and still helpless. He Is still running the farm, making a small living and caring for her. The little sister he has jiiRt sent to the normal school, but he will be a small farmer to the end of his days. And I believe he was Just the man to have made a splendid doctor. Yet I hardly think his life has been a failure." "I should think not," said the doc torYouth's Companion. Eating Anything. Dr. Lucy Barney Hall, in a letter to the women of the Boston Business league, said: "You can eat anything you are inclined to without Injurious effects." That Is not true, unless one Is hale, hearty, robustious or has a stomach Inherited from a grandfather who fought Indians back In the corn bread and venison days. Rut most stomachs are not of this kind. We took lunch with a gentleman the other day who seems as rugged and healthy as a big boy, and yet he took only hard rolls, tea and custard pie, and then scraped the custard out of the shell. Another gentleman said he ate pie every lunch for four days last week, and on the fifth day he was laid up for repairs, and then had to sober off on crackers and tea. Doctor Hall is wrong. A person must be careful of bis eating. We are all constituted dif ferently, each one as different in his stomach as In his clothes. If there Is any rule that applies to all, and which is of itself the best guaranty against sickness, it is not to eat so much. Wheat Extensions In Australia.
