LLASS UiU r Ka\JTiC ATT vv wr\iv.
In a go<xl-sizfd men’s class in
one of the Sunday-schools in In
diana there was an earnest de
sire on the part of some <>f its
members to do something prac
tical. They said, ‘‘lt is all
very nice and inspirational to
study the lesson of the Good
Samaritan, but why not do the
Good Samarian act?*’ They
looked around for na opportu
nity. It soon came, this time
in the form of a poor inebriate.
Poor chance, you say. True, as
the world has been, but to the
man of science, in this awaken
ing age, there is hope.
True, this man was one of the
“down-and-outs,’' but he had a
worthy family, a good Christian
wife and three fine children,
thanks to the mother. And the
man himself was a capable work
man and a kind father and good
husband when Sober, which for
many sad months had been very
seldom.
One of the men of this Sun
day-school class went to this un
fortunate man one day and said,
“Tom, if the men of our Sun
day-school class would pay your
way or go your security at the
bank for the money, would you
go away to a good hospital and
take treatment for your drink
habit? Would you?”
“Well,” said the weak man,
“1 don’t know. You remember
1 took the Kelly cure once and
it didn’t last hut a few wleeks.
Hut, say, I’ll talk to my wife
about it this evening, and let you
know tomorrow.” >
“Very well,” said the prac
tical Sunday-school man. “Call
at my store any time you are
ready to report.”
That night after a scant sup
per Tom said to his wife, “Mary,
one member of your Men’s Sun
day school class asked me a
queer question today. He asked
me if I would go to a hos
pital and take treatment for the
drink habit if they would help
me.” ; i j•; j
“What did you tell them!?”
asked the wife, seeming moderate
ly interested, but greatly interest
ed. ' 1
• “1 told him I would think it
over and talk with you about it,
then report to him.” i
“Well,” said the wife, it is al
ways well to do hotter, and that
•certainly is a very kind offer on
the part of the Men’s class of the
.’Sunday-school, hut you remem
ber the former failure. Still 1
believe 1 would try it, if the men
of the class will help you. ”
1 The twelve-year-old daughter,
who was studying her school les
ion, and who had been made to
•feel very sad by being called a
drunkard’s daughter at school
listened at first, then arose and
wame to her father and put her
arms around his neck, and said,
“Oh, yes, papa. I’d try again if
the good Sunday-school men are
willing to help you, and sure
mamma and us children will do
all we can to help you too.”
The next morning this poor,
trembling man, poisoned withal
• >h () iic liquors,instead of going to
the “blind tiger.” os usual, for a
drink, went to the Sunday-school
man's store and said to him,
“Well, I have concluded to say
‘Yes' t' your question yesterday
evening. You men are taking a
big risk i >ll me, but if you men
have that much faith in me. God
knows 1 ought to try,and 1 will. ”
Then this practical Christian
man said, “Well, now, 1 have not
spoken to but three or four men
of our class, hut I believe T can
find a dozen or more of them
who will stand with us. Now.
you sign this note, and this even
ing l will see if we cannot get
enough to endorse it to get the
money for you at the bank*’
That afternoon and night lie
got fifteen men to endorse the
note for $l5O. A number said
“I expect we will have to pay
it.” and one said, “It is a good
risk, if we lose ”
Within a week arrangements
wyre completed, and the teacher
of the class went with Tom to a
good scientific hospital for inebri
ates. He stayed s o me weeks lon
ger than usual for safety. While
he was gone that Men’s class
grew. A men’s class that does
that kind of work will always
grow.
But the best of this class is not
yet told. When Tom came homw
they had a job ready for him, for
he was a good mechanic* and a
fine workman when sober. Then
the class detailed five men to
look after him each week, that is
go with him to and from his
work, chum with him, visit with
him at his home, have a good
time with him and in every way
possible encourage him In a
few weeks they had him as a
member of that Sunday-school
class. It is worthy to note that
in a few weeks he began to pay
on his note at the bank, and in
a year he had it all paid, and not
a dollar did any of those fifteen
men pay who went his security.
In less than six months he united
with the church, and for more
than a yearnow he has been one
of the zealous workers of that
church.
When the writer asked him u
he would not be glad to subscribe
to the temperance department of
the church he said, “Sure, 1 will
for the church and especially that
Men’s Sunday-school class have
been the best friends L have bad
on earth.” Homer J. Hall.
