Temperance in the Sun day Schools. As the Bth of May is our next Temperance Sunday, let all of our schools observe it with appropriate exercises. The second temperance Sunday in the year is designated by the International Sunday School Committee as Anti-Cigarette day. It is our duty as a Christian people to do all we can to impress our young people with the evil effects of tobacco, especially the cigarette. We do not know how much evil was done last week by the free dis tribution of the sacks of cigarette tobacco. If the enemy is so wide awake and busy, why can’t we be? Pres. W. C. T. U. A Crowned Soul. We are going to be through | with this life before very long, i The longest life is short when ! it is over; any time is short | when it is done. The gates of time will swing to behind you | before long. They will swing | to behind some of us soon, > but behind all of us before i long. And then the impor | tant thing will not be what > appointments we had, or any | thing of that sort; not what | men thought of us, but what > He thought of us, and whether [ we were built into His king- I dom. And if, at* the end of * it all, we emerge from life’s I work and discipline crowned | souls, at home anywhere in God’s universe, life will be i a success.—Dr. Borden P. | Bowne, in Wesleyan Chris -1 tian Advocate.
