A VOLCANO OF CVtL.
Intempf rnnc. nn pvll most helnoni befnra
Ood, most dreadful la Its results, has crown
among us to Riffantln proportions. In th
countless homes ft shoots Its venom-laden
fanirs, and annually, aye, daily, It gathers
Into Its coils whole hecatombs of vt.-tlms.
Its pirsfnce Is felt through the entire land,
and everywhere It iwvels with domontao na
ture in sin and misery.
Alcohol, ocean-like', floods the land. Mild
dilutions do not satisfy us; fermentation and
distillation are called Into service to pro
vide It In morn undiminished visor; ami
whether It be wine or whisky, the vile art ot
adulteration is often employed to enhance
Its maddening power.
With this Immense consumption of alco.
hoi, upon what a volcano of evil nnd misery
society rests! The direct expenditure of
hundreds of millions for little except pleas
urable excitement. Is tho least deplorable re
sult. Alcohol taken lieyoud very moderate
doses first weaken, then totally suspends,
renson. Man Is Incapacitated for all tho
duties of life, nnd Is left without prof.vtlon,
a prey to his vilest and most untamed pas
slous. Alcohol dire -tly Inflames then pas
sions; It Is oil poured on tlieir Imriiltiit lire.
It fills the mouth with blasphemy nnd arm:
tho hand for murder. It Is the deadly foe
of purity. It withers nil uenerous aspira
tions of the heart, and substitute in their
Mead the coldest sidlldiucss. It uiaUcs man
the demon incarnate.
Now picture to yourselves two hundred
thousand or more drinking shoos In the Ite
pilblie, belelilng forth ovr the land their al
coholic fumes; from your knowledge of two
or tliroo of them, imagine how many men in
the whole country are le-reft through them
of their renson, nnd you will form mi idea of
he woe and sin thnt nb'ohol produ"cs. All
classes, high and low. oiTer Imloenu-ls upon
the altar of Intemperance. The brightest
minds nnd lioblit hearts are numbered
among the victims. Human wrecks, whoso
fortune It hits lls..pii(ed, whose Intellect it
has stilled, arentrewu mvr tho bind thick as
autumnal leaves in t.i" f"r"M. H uues aro
devastated; hearts of mothers broken; the
oys of tho wedding morning turned Into
roii-des mourning; children B.Mttcrcd as
wnifs through a pitiless world.

REUGIOUS RExVDING.
DOCTKISC OR CREED.
A doctrine or creed Is often bound tip la
a common saying. More than that. It If
sometimes an unsuspected doctrine. Ve bo
Ilere many things which wo have never for
mulated. Here Is one from Ht Paul In the
fourth chapter of F.phesinns. The apostle
warns those people ngnt giving themselves
over to certain kinds of wrongdoing, ns II
'themselves'' were better than tho things
they do. They all seem to imply that self Is
something above and superior to those sins,
wrongs, follies, which yet thnt same
elf commits. Respect yourself. Rever
ence your own nature. Think too much of
yourself to do that. "To thine own self be
truo." Rut why respect that which Is not
rcspoetnhlo, or revere that which Is not noble?
What do we mean when wo sny Hint a man
lias abandoned himself to a wrong courser
He lias not left his Identity ; he has left good
ness. The word "self-abandonment" Is cur
lously suggestlv". We abandon ourselves to
pleasure, case, luxury i to tears, grief, di
spaln but who ever abandons himself to vir
tue? Virtue, goodness In all Its forms, nil
high, heroic qualltii-s, imply self-possession,
not abandonment, (fooilnessnlwnys controls,
and hs matery, even In its gentlest manifes
tations. Language ri'cognizi'sthls, and give
expression to It, ns well as many another of
our deep, unconscious beliefs.

from graceful lines an J

Columbia bicycles excel.
But there is more than
