To fully undrratnml Paul'# letter to the Gnlatlnn*, we mutt know something about the persons to whom It was addrraaiMj, and why It was written. The Gnlntlnn* were the descendant* of a rare which had migrated, or been driven, from Prance to what wat known at Phrygia In Aula Minor. ■" In hi* tecoud missionary tour Paul had visited Gnlntfn, was detained there by sick ness, nud gained tunny converts, whom be 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 ye?” llut with I’nul 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 ing to Mghtfoot. nlK»ut 68 A.. I), from Cor inth, or, as Ramsay and Mctilffert think, from Antioch. Just before the second mis- sbrnary Journey. A. !>. 62. In It he seeks to establish the true view of the gospel, ns the gospel of llbertr, of freedom from human Institutions, ritualistic observance*, from legnllsm, from the Indul- cenre of fleshly appetites and passions and lusts. It might be coiled the epistle of freedom. No less tbnn eleven times, and In this connection more oftpn than In nil 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 the Galatians became to I.uther a weapou for the emancipation of mankind.” It is emancipation from everything that enclaves l»ody or soul. No better selection could have been made for n lesion on tern- (•cranes than this letter. Engagement Rings. The newest and most ef fective combinations of pre vious stones, in original and artistic settings, are shown in our large gathering of en gagement rings. The styles are charming with always the suggestion of pretty sentiment— Diamonds and Rubies Diamonds and Sapphires Diamonds and Pearls Settings such as princess, clusters, diagonals, circlets, rosettes— And,, of course, soltaires. Maier & Berkele. It eiiHlnves both soul and l»ody; Its chulns are the most galling and the hardest to break. Many of Jts slaves would not !u» free If they could, and many could not If they would. The Devil’* Chain. The story Is told of a man who once en gaged a smith to make a chain of so many links, and when It was completed he brought It to the man, who ordered so many more links to bo added, and when the work was done he was ordered to make so many more links, and then the man commanded that he should bo hound with It and east Into prison. Intemperance Is the devil's chain; every drink adds a link, and then he hinds his victim and casts him Into bell. The saloon Is the devil'* work shop and all who patronise It are hi* vie- More tbnn any one else, the devil la In- Drunkards Mad# Her*." A l»oy saw a drunken man lying In the gutter In front of a saloon, and he went in and told the proprietor thnt bis sign had fnllen down. Recently In an Ohio village, the ouestlon of local option was to l>e submitted to the people. The editor of the town paper wrote an editorial In opposition to the sa loon. and stated thnt the column* of bis were open to any who favored It, a saloon, and this csss Is only one of thou sands. What it Coats. The amount of money 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 orfer a billion dollars; more than the bonded Indebtedness of the government, end, exclusive of the postal system, a most three times the yearly expenditures. A good deni ts said about a bllllon-dollnr congress, but nothing Is said about n nondollar whisky traffic. Now, if wo add to this amount the loss the country sus tains In destroying labor. In supporting paupers, and prosecuting criminals, the amount would he fabulous. Ami yet, the money expended Is the smallest part of what It costa. An army of 600,000 men every year Tall Into n drunkard’s grave and go to a drunk ard's hell, for over the gates of the Ce lestial city Is written: “No drunkard cun enter here.” Its suppression appeals to our patriotism, as well ns to our piety and our pity. , The time Is rnpblly coming when the » Je will realise that the traf- estroyed, or It will destroy the nation.
