A little girl is said to have come to
her mother with the question: “Which
is worse, to tell a lie or to steal ?’ The
mother, taken by surprise, replied
that both were so bad that she
couldn’t tell which was the worse,’
‘Well,’ said the little one, ‘l’ve been
thinking about it, and I think it is
worse to lie than to steal. If you
steal a thing you can take it back,
unless you’ve eaten it; ar.d then you
can pay for it. But.’ and there was a
lock of awe in the little face, ‘a lie is
forever.’ ”
The Lord’s Prayer and the
Liquor Traffic.
Can a man pray the Lord’s prayer
in sincerity and engaged in the liquor
traffic?
Let us see:
The first petition is “Hallowed be
thy name.” What does more to pro
duce profanity than the rum
business? Wherever you see men
congregated within the barroom or
upon the steps of a saloon qr hotel,
there you hear the name of God
blasphemed.
The second petition is, “Thy king
dom come.” What does more to in
terfere with the coming of Christ’s
kingdom than the liquor traffic? It
does more to corrupt our youth, to
keep souls out of the kingdom of God
than all other causes combined.
Tho third petition is, ‘‘Thy will be
done on earth as it is done in heaven.”
Yvhat does more than strong drink to
prevent the will of God being done
upon earth ? Does any one believe
that the crime and misery produced
by strong drink is the will of God ?
The fourth petition is, “Give us
this day our daily bread,” and tbe
liquor traffic robs thousands of women
and children of their daily bread.
The next petition is, “And forgive
us our debts as we forgive our debt
ors.” Rum sows the seeds of hate,
strife and murder.
The last petition is, “And lead us
not into temptation.” It would be
blasphemy for a liquor seller to offer
that prayer, or any man that drinks
liquor.
If common sense teaches us that it
would be mockery for a rum seller or
a liquor drinker to offer the Lord’s
prayer, how about those men who
sign .ieense for others to sell ? Arc
they any better than the men who
sell ? Are they not behind the man
who is behind the bar?
Now, how about the man who is in
the church and has about a pint of
liquor in his stomach, asking God to
bless him or the church? (I mean
church members).
Can a man pray that God’s king
dom may come and will be done and
vote for liquor?
Can a man pray that he may not be
led into temptation and then vote for
liquor ?
If it is right to drink liquor why
not come right out before the world
and drink it?
Tbe liquor traffic stands today con
detuned before God. Its best friends
dare not come to its rescue.
The churches stands today con
demned in a great measure, and is a
stumbling block to the world. Drag
the rum drinkers and hypocrites out
of the church, and then God will
bless tho church.
We never can stop the rum traffic
as long as our church members vote
for it and drink it.

which you please, you can never have
both.—Emerson.
Affliction is not an accident in a
werld of chance, but an agent in the
hand of God, “working for us a far
more exceeding and eternal weight
of glory.”—Ex.
For a Spiritual Song:.
A poor country congregation found
fist:•[ badly in want of hymn books.
The clergyman applied to a London
firm and asked to be supplied at the
lowest church r ites. The, firm replied
that on condition tho hymn books con
tained certain advertisements the con
gregation should have them for noth
ing. Necessity knows no law. and the
minister sorrowfully complied, think
ing to himself that when the advertise
ments came they ecuid bo removed
from the leaves. The hymn books ar
rived, and—joy of joys—they contained
no interleaved advertisements. At the
thanksgiving service the good parson
joyously gave out the Christmas hymn,
and the congregation sang the first
verse' with fervor. When they reached
the last lino they found that tin's was
what they had been singing:
