One dollar A>r religion and
twelve for driak, is the ratio be-
tween Christianity and thedruuk-
ard, making business in this
country, as estimated bj Dr,
Carroll of the Indipendent. How
long will it take at that ratio to
save tho boys of America.

"If we save the children today,
we save the nation tomorrow.
rie rambling thoughts by "Ne-
" Now then, in your mind
take a walk around your town
and see if as a matter of fact
some, even many, are not more
neglected than any domestic an-
imal you can name. The horse
is broken to the harness and
taught to pull without jerking:
without training nothing is ex-
pected of it. The cow ia accus-
tomed to *he stall by various lit-
tle lures; from the young stock
that have run for months butting
stupidly is looked for and found.
But the child under considera-
tion is driven off to school just as
early at possibly, so as to leave
the house quiet. Left there in
school for years under teachers
whom parents do not even take
the trouble to know, trammed by
some of them with book know-
ledge, as a Strasbarg goose fc
crammed with meal, tempted to
deception bp various marking
lyatems, driven into lying by
>h, unfeeling treatment at
home, and is then expected to
turn into a suave, well-rounded
person. If he fails, and brings
shame on himself and family,
then up go their hands in aston-
ishment that a thing could be..
As well might you gather Ma-
laga grapes from a wild vine or
find a living lamb in the cave of
a lion.
Jesus saith to Peter, "Follow
me." Peter satth, "Lard, and
what shall this man do?" Jesus
saith, "What is it to thee? Fol-
low thou me." John 21:19 22.
Jesus is saying to a certain wo-
man (Reader is it you?) "Fel-
low me." That woman is ans-
wering : "But this other woman,
Lord? She is so capable. I am
weak and so surrounded with
disadvantages! But she might
^[easily give herself to—"
Jesns saith, "What is that to
thael "Follow thou me."
Jesus is saying to another one,
man or woman, (Reader is it
you?) Follow me."
That man is answering: * 'But
Lord, look at thia other man ?
He has wealth unlimited. Might
give so much more than he does.
Might—might—Lord* what ahall
this man do?"
Jesus aaith, "What is that to
thee? Follow thou me.',
"Bat 1 am so afraid, Lord.
The way is new to me. People
don't usually do such thiugs as
thia, thou art whispering to me
to do, and go—"
Afraid? with me? I did not
U)ft Go, but follow. Follow
Jmu me.
Let us not be afraid to follow
God because the way is new and
unuHal. Paul and Luther and
Wesley und Frances Wi'lard and
multitudes of humbler souls have
followed God in new fields.
And for them all the earth is
r oher and more like heaven. To
refuse to follow because the way
is new is to lose our crewn of
blessed service.
"Yes, 1 always go to help ma-
ma when she calls me—if 1 hear
her," answered a small but an
honest maiden when questioned
conecrning herobedience. "But
sometimes I like to play pretty
far oft, where I can't hear her.''
Many of us older ones obey God's
calls to service in much the same
way. We dare not refuse when
we hear, but we try to avoid
hearing.—Uplook.
1~L J-LI..
THE RUM LOWER.
'Tisrnm, my ft end that rules the land,
The ballots cast by beer;
And liquor is the soverign power
The politicians fear,
If whiskey pays the voter's tax,
Then will it have a voice;
And if it pays a larger tax
'Twill claim the ruling choice,
If statesman license rum and gin,
And share in part the pay,
Then must they shelter rum and g'n:
There is no other way.
It is not fair, it is not just,
To murmer and to frown,
And curse the drink that pays the tax
And runs the business down.
If rum is made a lawful trade,
And it is gainful, too,
And if it pays the voter's tax,
As other people do,
Then why, whilst pocketing the cash
With one right willing hsnd,
The other use' as many do,
afeYo stamp an odious brand.
The higher up the license goes
The stronger flows the bear;
It costs to sell, more must be sold, —
The reason is quite clear,
An<* wealth and style will gild the trade
And this will be its boon:
The palaces of rum and gin
Will shame the low saloon.
What pays the cash and "cuts a dash''
Is sure to hold the way,
And men will think 'tis fine to drink
In such a splendid way.
The liceuse concentrates the trade,
And links in one the cause
Which buys the votes and pays the tax
Which makes and breaks the law.
A Sohool ot Morals.
The devotees of the drama of-
ten speak of it as "a school of
morals," and indulge in patron-
izeing sneers at the expense of
those who voluntarily and con-
scientiously cut themselves off
from this means of cultivation;
but they do not sustain their po-
sition by arguments drawn from
th+sphere of concrete realities.
What might be the effect of an
ideally clean theater ia one thing
and what is the effect of the the-
aters actually in operation is
quite another thing.
We feel perfectly sure that we
are keeping within the limita of
the truth when we say that nine-
tenths of all the plays that are
put upon the boards are either
silly or nasty. Nor is this an in-
dividual or a prejudiced opinion.
It is confirmed by the utterances
of secular critics in all parte of
the country. Let any one who
doubts whether we are speaking
loberly make a careful examina-
tion of the facts. The dullness
and the dirtiness of the modern
stage have both become a pro-
verb. Christian people who care
for their own morals, and for
the welfare of their children,

The force ef our asfeerSfln can-
not be broken by calling atten-
tion to the fact that there have
been and are some actors of the
hightest personal character. Our
belief is that Edwin Booth was
every inch a gentleman, and that
Joseph Jefferson as a man of irre-
proachable life. But will any-
body dare assert that they fairly
represent the othical standards
of their profession ? We are not
talking about dreams and shad-
owe, but about realities. The
theater of the nineteenth centu*
ry, like that of the eighteenth,
is the onemy of pure religion and
of sound morals. Nor is there
the faintest indication that it is
likely to change its character.
It is one of those things wh ich
the diciple? of Christ pledge
themselves to renounce. If this
is Puritanism, be it ao. There
are a thoussnd other epithets to
which we should more seriously
object.—Christian advocate.
