If o art not AIM a lilt the Hplrlt
the fault i our on W cannot say
that God baa not favored ua aa ho baa
favored certain other people The re-
aponalblllty for bolus filled with the
Spirit I put upon ua
The eibortatlon “Ho filled with the
Spirit" alao place upon ua another
obligation which wo cannot evade
The meaeure of our receiving of the
Spirit le not aomothlng arbitrary do
Sending upon God aoverolgn will
od will to fill ua with the Spirit
and the limiting of the gift la with ua
Whether wo ahull bavo a little feebly
bubbling aprlng In our heart with
Ita tlny rilla flowing out or a great
guablag fountain sending out river
of joy Meaning and good wa must
settle for ourselves
How then may wo be filled with
the Spirit? There are other spirits
besides the Holy Spirit and some of
them prevent thd heart being filled
with God It Is said that tho swallow
will stay only where the air la pure
and sweet where "heaven's breath
smells woolngly” If a common bird
will “haunt ouly a sweet and delicate
air” how pure must the air be in
which - the White Dove the Holy
Spirit will make nest and home
We cannot be filled with the Spirit
if we let sensual thoughts and desires
haunt our hearts The heart must bo
pure in which ho will dwell
There Is a worldly spirit also which
Is antagonistic to tho Holy Spirit
Jesus earnestly Impressed the lesson
that his disciples though In this
world are not of this world and his
prayer was that they should be kept
from the evil of the world Men may
do a right business so as to be hurt
by it and those who are in business
need to guard their hearts most care-
fully and with constant prayer lest
by covetousness or by dishonest or
unjust dealings they limit tho meas-
ure of the Spirit’s dealing In them It
is vory easy while living in the world
to let the love of secular things get
such a place in our hearts that no
room is left for the Spirit Society
has its perils for the Christian
Amusement is not displeasing to the
Master who wants us to be happy
but to many people amusement is a
spiritual peril since ofttlmes it so
absorbs tke thought and strength and
all the life’s interest that no place is
- left for the Holy Spirit
Human love is holy -Home affec-
tions are to be cherished The whole
teaching of Christ is toward the cul-
tivation of love all the phases and
qualities of love Yet human :ove
may become so absorbent as to drive
out the Holy Spirit A home may
grow so happy its affections so sat-
isfying and so heart-filling that the
Spirit can find no welcome no hos
pitality within the doors and can
only stand outside and knock:
Whatever else we admit into our
life whatever affairs whatever hon-
ors whatever Joys and pleasures we
will do ourselves most grievous
wrong if we do not give the Holy
Spirit the highest place of all We
hold other things all other things
hot as God would have us hold them
If any of them hinder ua from being
filled with the Holy Spirit
Again to be filled with the Spirit
wo must be ready always to obey the
Spirit God will never give us grace
to bo stored up to bo wrapped in a
napkin and laid away He will give
It only to be used in obedience and
service We must learn that we are
saved to serve that we find Christ in
order to bring others to him So the
Holy Spirit Is given to us to make us
winners of men and we will receive
only so much of the Spirit as we
allow to become active in the service
of love— J R Miller D D
Gentleness and Strength
Gentleness is almost another name
for strength The bravest are always
the gentle ones the strong man is
the most tender Ha is tender be-
cause he is strong I do not mean the
physically strong but strong In spirit
lou know that it is a weak person
bo gives way to temptation to be
violent and the strong in spirit can

Live Thus
Begin each day with the prayer
“Thy will be done” resolving that you
will stand to it and that nothing that
happens In the course of the day shall
displease you Then set to any work
you have In hand with the sifted and
purified resolution that ambition shall
not mixed with it nor love of gain
nor desire of pleasure more than is
appointed for you -and that no anxi-
ety shall touch you as to its issue nor
any impatience nor regret if it fail
Imagine that the thing is being done
through you not by you that the
gqod of it may- never be known but
that at least unless by your rebellion
or foolishness there can come no evil
into it nor wrong chance to it Re-
solve alsowith steady industry to do
what you can for the help of your
country and its honor and the honor
of its God and that in all you do and
feel you will look frankly for the im-
mediate help and direction and to
your own conscience’s expressed ap-
proval of God Live thus and be-
lieve and with swiftness of answer
proportioned to the frankness of the
trust most surely the God of hope
will fill you with all joy and peace in
believing— John Ruskin
New Bleseinfls
To-day is meant to be rich in new
blessings for us if we will not block
the way It is hard to believe this
when we get to looking upon life cyn-
ically as the world does “There Is
nothing newr under the sun” we say
with Solomon— “but he didn’t say
‘over the sun”’ points out Campbell
Morgan One who is over the sun
who is the Light of the world of
the world of whose love and riches
we know so little because of our un
willingness to let them into our life
has planned unknown blessings for us
to-day “The world has yet to know
the power of a completely consecrat-
ed man” said Moody And man has
yet to know the unsearchable riches
of God’s love because man yet lacks
complete consecration In such meas-
ure as we will let Him the Father
will reveal to us His cver-uew bless
ings
The Upward Look
Constantly look up Be on the watch
for chances to rise like a bird lot
loose though but for a moment Into
the upper air Such Is the nature of
holiness Being from God It is ever
seeking to revert to Us source The
heavier the pressure of a mundane life
upon It the stronger is the force of
its compressed aspirations Such
pressure is like tbat of the atmosphere
cn waier which seeks the level of its
fountain A spirit like Ibis will de-
mand the habit of fragmentary prayer
for its own boly indulgence and wT-l
demand it with an Importunity pv
portioned to the superincumbent
weight of earthly cares— A ns i a

“Twenty dollars fine”
“And the constablo needs an over-

The Limit
A Scotch minister instructed his
clerk who sat among the congrega-
tion during tho service to give a low
whistle If anything In his sermon- ap-
peared to be exaggerated On hearing
the minister say “In those days there
were snakes fifty feet long” the clerk
gave a subdued whistle
‘I should have said thirty feet” add-
ed the minister
Another whistle from the clerk
“On consulting Thompson’s Con-
cordance” said the minister in con-
tusion “I seo the length Is twenty
feet”
Still another whistle whereon the
preacher leaned over and said in a
stage whisper: “Ye can whistle as
much as ye like MacPherson but I’ll
iio take anlther foot off for anybody!”

Not Quite 8o Bad
When he came up the hallway she
plucked something from his manly
shoulder
“See” she cried “a strange hair!
You are a base deceiver”
He shuddered and turned pale
“Yes” she continued in a cold
voice “you have allowed some boot-
black to brush you down instead of
waiting for my loving hands to ma-
nipulate the brush Oh George you
do not love me any more! I can tell
it is a strange bristle"
With a great feeling of relief he
told her that she might brush off his
coat forever
The Farmer’ Life
The farmer’s life's the life fer me
Without no patches on iny knee
H-it like tho millionaire from town
That comes down here an’ strolls aroun'
The “model farm” o’ his an’ shows
His hands the way to hoe the rows
The farmer’s life’s the ilfe fer me
With blooded stock an’ two er three
Big horseless carriages to whirl
Me Into town to see my girl
An’ stop along the route to squint
Cp through a glass with hints o' mini
The farmer’s life’s the life fer me—
To go to bed at two or three
O'clock the way some farmers do
An’ git up when I wanted to
I reckon I could kind o’ smile
An’ stand the farmer's life a while

Resolutions 'of Mtdical Congress
At ibo annual Congress of (be Am
orlcan Medical Association which
was held this year at Portland Ore
the pa peril and dlacualons relating to
tho study of alcohol wore full of In-
tercut and Information The follow
lag resolutions wore adopted by the
Congress:
“Whereas Wo members of the
American Medical Society for (be
Study of Alcohol and Other Narcotics
believe tbat prevention through edu-
cation is one of the greatest remedies
for the evils of intemperance and
other unhygienic habits therefore
“Resolved That wo congratulate
the-people of -this ‘country on having
made tbo ‘ study of physiology and
hygiene Including the nature and
effcat of alcoholic drinks and other
narcotics compulsory for her 22000-
000 children of school age and also
Great Britain on the fact that more
than 15000 physicians practically the
entire registered medical profession of
the United Kingdom have petitioned
for compulsory public school study of
the Bame subject thus laying the
foundation for a future of Intelligent
sobriety strength and efficiency for
the whole English-speaking race And
“Whereas A committee of distin-
guished British physicians of - the
United Kingdom- with Sir William
BrOtt-juent M D as chairman com-
poBea of professors in the universi-
ties and medical colleges represent-
ing the 15000 physicians have adopt-
ed and sent out to all school boards
trf Great Britain a course of study in
hygiene and temperance which is
based they courteously state on the
title page ‘upon the scheme prepar-
ed for use in tho schools of tho
United States of America by Mrs
Mary H Hunt” and
"Whereas When subsequent unjust
criticism against teaching the child-
ren and youth that alcohol is a poison
was made they in a masterly way an-
swered this criticism point by point
exposing its fallacies" therefore'
"Resolved That we recognize and
heartily welcome the valuable assist-
ance thereby rendered the cause of
science in its battle against alcohol-
ism by these distinguished physicians
end hereby instruct our secretary to
convey to them through their chair-
man Sir William Broadbent M Df
a copy of the foregoing resolutions
and
“Whereas We rejoice in the evi-
dence that the public school teaching
in America of physiology and hygiene
including the nature and effects of
alcoholic drinks and other narcotics
is resulting in better dbedience to the
laws of health in a growing senti-
ment in favor of public sanitation and
total abstinence despite our enor-
mous foreign immigration ud in the
rapidly increasing prohibition of alco-
hol in industrial employments there
fore
'Resolved That we urge upon the
boards of education teachers and all
entrusted with the instruction of the
children and youth of our land the
importance of the most faithful en-
forcement of our temperance educa-
tion laws by providing ample courses
of study like that which has now be-
come international by being recom-
mended for Great Britain by the
above-named committee showing in
detail the topics to be taught in each
grade and also by the selection of
school literature containing the latest
truths of science on these topics”
The Drink Blight in France
The spread of alcoholism in France
Is the subject of an article in the
October Sunday at Home Mr W
Soltau In proof of his thesis that the
consumption of strong drink is rapid-
ly increasing quotes several contem-
porary 8tatemcts and among them
a striking passage from an article by
M Austin De Croze in the Revue dcs
Revues M Croze wrote:
“It is not more than thirty years
since this fearful evil has taken hold
of Brittany but in fifty years more
rnless the evil is put aa end to It is
mere than likely that the race will
be entirely lost Ton hare terrible
drunkards in your parish’ said one
to a priest ‘Yea that Is true but
they are pious drunkards!”
Mr Foltau thea goes on: "WHe

Drunkenness and Alcoholism
The Loudon Lancet dQgkea a start-
ling statement that drunkenness In
net alcoholism and bas little to do
with the evils -of intemperance
"Convivial drinking” says the Lan-
cet “Is the ordinary cause of drunk-
enness and if the evils of Intemper-
ance are to be combated successfully
It is vitally necessary to recognize
tills mode of drinking and drinking
as an aid to muscular nervous effort
Tho latter is tho more common
source of chronic alcoholism and Is
the form which mainly is of grave so-
cial significance Convivial drinking
on tlio other hand though it causes
drunkenness tends usually to be in-
mitten t and is therefore less likely
to cause chronic alcoholism
“A mechanic who gets drunk on pay
day but owing to the circumstances
in which he works cannot have access
to liqfcor during the hours of labor
runs little risk of chronic intoxication
but the dock laborer who works
through the day on repeated doses of
four X ale even though he were nev-
er to get drunk would likely suffer
from alcoholic poisoning and its at-
tendant evils In this country the
maximum prevalence of drunkenness
is iu the great mining districts of
Durham Northumberland and South
Wales yet there is no corresponding
prevalence of alcoholic disease or ‘tho
various forms of "eUnqiSenry sup-
posed to be connected with drunken-
ness Durham is far and away the
most drunken district in England but
the death rate from chronic alcohol-
ism and liver disease does not ex-
ceed that in the sober agricultural
counties It is the same in South
Wales”

“Big Cause It Drink”
Judge Tuthill presiding over tha
Juvenile court in Chicago bears the
following testimony as to the cases
which come bef oro-him :
“The great big cause is drink
Among the dependents this is espe-
cially true Often drink does ot ap-
pear ou the surface but going fur-
ther into the circumstances usually
brings it to light It may be drunk-
en father a drunken mother or both
It may be a widowed mother whose
husband died directly or indirectly
from drink or it may be a divorced -mother
who was separated from the
man whose duty it was to support
her and her children because of drink
But in a very large number of cases
it is liquor that throws the boy into
the Juveni'e court Sometimes ” the
poverty that prevents parents from
caring for their children is produced
by other caures but usually there Is
intemperance back of it Drink leads
to neglect and neglect leads the chil-
dren into the Juvenile court”
Where Liberty EVo
Our liberty ends where it begin
to barm another Even the law rec-
ognizes this A man who owns a lot
in a beautiful residence section woaM
not be altowed to build a soap factory
on it The lot is his to be used as he
pleases short of inconveniencing or
injuring his neighbors
The temperance question is not eme
of personal liberty "I have a right to
drink in moderation” says many a
strong willed cool headed man "be-
cause I know token to stop There in
no danger of my going too far ’ Hal
our rights are limited by our obliga
tions No one it free lo follow a
course ot action nhick is Lhely to
Injure those about him We have o
right to make our iaflaewce anything

the possibility of doing harm begfac
