During the meeting of 1 he American Kojiety for the study of alcohol. and other narcotics, in the month of March, many pulpits in Washington city were tilled on March “1st by physicians of national prom inence who were in attendance on this conference. Dr .1. W. Quackciiboss of the New of medicine spoke to fashionable audience at the Chinch of the Covenant. He de nounced the men and women of the “smart set” who drink and smoke eigaretls.

Mul, sometimes, it is wise to look diliicullies in the face. 1 That there are impediments to a spiritual awakening and Christian progress no careful observer can deny. 1 The first obstacle and one that is] mighty and malignant is the common adversary of Cod and man. Some deny the existence of the devil, hut such denial does not. disprove his exis tence nor destroy his power Therein so much badness in the world Ihat to call in question the existence of Satan is to place humanity so low in the scale of moral capability and spiritual sentiment ns to almost destroy our respect for the luce and our hope of its redemption. Our l.ord tells us of how he met him, of iiis int’Iegence and causing, of how lie himself wasprotrated at the close of tho conflict, of how the angels came to congratulate him upon ids victory over the devil and to sup port him in his weakness. The Lord Jesus Christ was well ac quainted with the world of spirits. Iiis mind could grasp the most mys- , terious su hjeets, his eye could scan the depths of the ocean and the vast do mains of space.

Beware of that doctrine that quiets the conscience in a doubtful course, that comes In between Urn Soul and Jesus Christ, that disc ts the ■ at notifying poy, -.r: of the Holy Gcoet, that discourages activity and progress in the religious life and destroys Chris-' tian fellowship. These tilings are Hi- i tokens of spiritual dissolution. i The inoonsistencies of Church Mem- j tiers is a tremendous obstacle to a 1 revival of vital Cod 11 ness. Christians ; are expected to love anti aid each other j but hsw often do they treat each other unkindly,—speak against one another ! Wo critscise each other uncharitably, and by <*ir examp le we hurt the very cause we are set to defend. How much better if the outside world could say, “Behold how these Christians love I” Home Church members are openly im moral,—they violate the law of (lie Sabbath, they are intemperate, they are crocked in business.

Jf we will but call a brief pause and look at the mountains of obstruction to a real revival, we will not q« surprised at tlie absence of tlie supernatural in our religion. In conclusion,—Wc should never forget Hint no man can forgive his own sins, no priest can forgive, tlie Pope himself cannot, forgive. No man can cleanse iiis own heart, no forms, no ceremonies can wash away sin. “No bleeding bird, nor bleeding beast, Nor liissop branch nor sprinhling priest, Nor running brook, nor flood, nor sea, Cun wasli tlie dismal stain away,—” Jesus alone can save.
