During the past few years there has been

'Why do you keep busy? It is time for

the Bible moreoxplosive than that. it first
biases softly, like the fuse of aoannou, and
it last bursts like u M pouuder. The old
proverb was right. “The devil tempts
most men, but ldlcrs tempt the devil."
The Harvest of Eternity.
A young man came to a man of 90 years
offsgollllll said to him, “How have you
made out to live so long and be so well?"
The old man took the youngster to an
orchard, and, pointing to some large trees
full of apples. sold, "I planted those trees
when I was a boy, and do you wonder that
now i am permitted to gather the fruit of
them?" We gather in old ago what we
plant in our youth. Sow to the wind, and
we reap illewhlrlwlnd. Plant in early life
the right kind of a Christian chumcter,
and you will out luscious fruit in old age
and gather three harvest apples in stcrnll y.
I urge you to avoid the perpetual pleas-

and amid gorgeous surroundings.
Avoid Unhealthy Stimulants.
This sin works ruin first by unhealth-
ful stimulants. Excitement ls pleasurable.
Under every sky and in every age men
have sought it. The Chinaman gets it by
smoking his opium, the Persian by chow-
lng hashocab, the trapper in a buffalo hunt,
the sailor in u squall, the lucbriule in the
bottle and the avoriclous at the gaming
table. We must at times; have excitement.
A thousand voices in our nuturcdoulund

lug. It is a desire (loll given. But any-
thing that ilrst grntlfles this appetite and
hurls it back in a terrific ruseiiun is do»
plorublo and wicked. Look out fortho ugl-
tatlcu that, like a rough musician, in
bringing out the tune plays so hard he
breaks down the instrument. God novor
made man strong enough to endure the
wear and tear of gambling excitement.
No wonder if, after having failed in the
game, men have begun to sweep off imag-
inary gold from the side of the table. The
man was sharp enough when he stem-d
at the genre, but machine at the oIDfitJ. At
every gamlng table sit on caeside, ce-
stasy, enthusiasm, romance—the frenzy
of joy; on the other side, flercrsnmla,
raga, tumult. The‘proieasionul gnnmler

The keepers of gambling rooms are gou-

hlm stay for a moment his headhmg ca-
reer. The infernal spell is on him; a giant

bind him with cables they wuuld part like

times round with chains they would snnp'
like rusted wire, and though you piled up
in his path heaven high Bibles, tracts and
sermons and on the top should set the
