To fully nndrmtnnd Paul's Irttrr to the Gnlntlntm. we must know something alnmt the persons to whom It wss addressed, and why it wits written. The Uniat Inn* were the descendants of a race which had migrated, or been driven, from France to what was known as Phrygia In Asia Minor. In his second missionary tour Paul had rlnltrri Galatia, was detained there by sick ness, and gained many converts, whom h# visited again In his third circuit, and who became greatly attached to him. But they were a fickle, volatile, mercurial people, like the French today. Paul tells them: “At first ye did run well. What did hinder jrsT* But with Paul gone they were ready to follow some one else. There had been contentions and strifes among them over their different views of the gospel and Christian living. Paul heard of their defection and divi sions. and so he wrote this letter, accord' lug to Light foot, about 58 A. I». from Cor Intn, or, as Uamaay and MeGIffert think, from Antioch. Just before the second mis slonary Journey, A. !>. 52. In It ho seeks to establish the true view of the gunnel, as the gospel of liberty, of freedom from human Institutions, ritualistic observances, from legalism, from the Indub genre of fleshly appetites nnd passions and lusts. „ it might he called the epistle of freedom. No less than eleven times, and In this connection more often than In all the other epistles nut together, the thought occurs: "Stand fast In the liberty wherein Christ has made us free.'* Some one has said: 'The epistle to thf Galatians became to Luther a weapon for tm* emancipation of mankind." . it Is emancipation from everything that enslaves body or soul. No better selection could have been made for a lesson on tem perance than this letter. Engagement Rings.

Of all the forms of slavery that over ex isted that of Intemperance Is tho worst, ns It enslaves both soul and l>ody; Its chains are the most galling nnd the hard* 1 ** to break. Jinny of Its slaves would not lie fr**e If thev could, and many could not If they would. Th# Devil’s Chain. The story Is told Af a man who once en gaged a smith to make a chain of so many links, ami when .It was completed brought It to the man, who ordered so many more links to he added, mid when tho work wns done he was ordered to make so many more links, and then the man commanded that he should lx* hound with It nnd cast Into prison. Intemperance Is the devil’s chain; every drink adds a link, and then he binds his victim and casts him Into hell. The saloon Is the devil's work shop and nil who patronize It are his vic tims. might be his sign— "Drunkards Mad# H#r#." A Ikij* snw a drunken man lying In the P iter In front of a saloon, and he went nnd told the proprietor that his sign bad fallen down. Recently in an Ohio village, the question of local option waa to be submitted to the poople. Tho editor of the town paper wrote an editorial In opposition to the sa loon, and stated flint tne columns of his paper were open to any who favored If. but no one responded, for the reason that one could say anything In Its favor.

The amount of mousy that Is annually more than wasted for drink is almost In* credible. According to The American Grocer, the drink bill of the United States Is over a billion dollars; more than the bonded Indebtedness of the government, and, exclusive of the postal system, al most three times the yearly expenditures. A good deal Is Mid about a bllllon-dollar congress, but uothlng Is said about a 1*11- lton-dollar whisky traffic. Now, If we *dd to this amount the loss the country sus tains In destroying labor. In supporting paupers, and prosecuting criminals, the amount would be fabulous. And yet. the money expended Is tho smallest part of what It costs.
