The npostle I'mil says, 'He tasted death
fur every mini." Maybe I enn explain thin,
When the apostle I'aul used that lungiingo it
had been tln custom to put criminals to
death by making them drink poison. You
may have heard of the great mid good Ho
crates. He was made to drink a cup of hem
lock, n deadly poison : hence ho wns said to
taste nf death, and nil who were put to
death inthis munnerweresaldto taMe dentil.
If there were many criminals they were
nil placed in a long row. The worst
man was placed at the head ami made to
li Ink llrst. Then the cup was passed along
down, until all had taken a cup of poison.
Now, in the language of the apostle l'aiil.all
men nre represented us sinners deserving
death. A little boy wa- pa-siug by a dark
cellar, lie looked down, but be could see
nothing, lie heard n nise. He looked
again, but all was dark. II" said, "I'apu. Is
that you '" "Yes, my son." said tho well
known voice nf his father, "eniiie down
here." pupa. "said the buy, I am nfrnid.
It In so dark I cannot see y mi at all ! " "Hut,"
said the father, "nothing shall hurt you. I
can see you plainly. Just come right along ;
I w ill eatdi you' In my arms." After another
moment the boy leaped Into the arms of
ive. Hewns glad for ho was with III 4
father, and felt that h could always trust
him, iu th" dark or In the light, in the cellar
or en the housetop. Now children that In

Woman Is the autocrat of society. It s ho
who snvs what shall be don" and what shall
not bo done in social circles: who shall come
nnd who shall go.
It Is within the power of woman to shapn
social laws. It Is the voice nf woman thnt
controls social sentiment. With this power
In her possession to wield for good or evil,
woman Is Inn great degree responsible for
the elevation and purltv of the soctnl circle
In which she moves. In regard to social
drinking. It Is a lamentable fa. t that mu.-li '
of its popularity hns been due to the encmir.
