‘ The Devil’s Bid.
History repeats itself in all times and
places, and to-day is simply yesterday
masquerading. It is so in everything,
and will be so until time shall be no
more.
The devil once took ~Christ up into
“an exceeding high mountain, and
showed Him all the kingdoms of the
world, and the glory of them; and said
unto Him, ‘All these things will I give
Thee 11 Thou wilt 1111 down and wor-
ship me.’ ” Christ spurned this ofi'er of
the devil, and remains to-day the guest
and friend of the poor and meek and
lowly. The devil is still roaming around
making bids for the souls of the people,
and men and women, too, instead of re-
jecting his proposals, are exceedingly
eager to accept his terms.
He takes the young men up 'to the
mountain of ambition and shows them
the high places that seem to be at his
disposal. He tells them that if they
will do his bidding, they shall occupy
great scopes in the history of the world,
and shalltaste to the utmost the de-
lights of pomp and power and place.
It isamost alluring prospect that he
holds out before them. Many of them
have not enough of the spirit of Christ
in them to reject his advances. They
are weak and fall readily into the
snare. Sometimes he gives them the
power for which they have 'sacrificed
all that is best and sweetest in humani-
ty, but even at the best this power soon
fails to satisfy the intense longing that
is in every human soul.
Sometimes he takes them to ahigh
mountain and :shows them the beauti--
ful ‘v’h’lleys of pleasure 'gliterifig in the
sunshincfind filled With all manner of
goodly things. He tells them that, if
they will but acknowledge him their
master. he willopen up to‘ them "every
' avenue of enjoyment. and make their
livesfull'of happiness and joy.
They believe him and enlist under
his banner. In the pursu1t of pleasure
they betray every Christlike endow-
ment and stain their souls almost be-
yond the power of redemption, in order
to satisfy the constant demands of the
master who has now become a tyrant,
relentless and remorseless.
The prospect was a very fascinating
one;.. they embraced it gladly. for it
promised so much; and pleasure is a
honey that has not only destroyed mil-
lions of human flies, but peopled hell
with the brightest and best in the land.
Some of the young he takes up to the
highest mountain of all, and shows
them streams running with molten gold
and trees hung with jewels that gleam
and bewilder in theuuceasing sunshine.
He tells them that, if they will do his
biddingmll that they see shall be theirs,
gold that can buy power and love and
pleasure and all. the delights of life;
jewetsby which souls can be corrupted
and led astrayed. The outlook is indeed
a dazzling one, and millions except it
greedily and thoughtlessly every year.
They do the devil’s bidding and blacken
their immortal souls for a- handful of
dress that cannot buy them anything
that does not savor of the earth and of
the earth alone.
The devil is still bidding for human
souls and meeting with great successin
his work of destruction.
Young man and young woman, are
you to day standing upon the mountain
and looking out on a scene of grandeur
and delight, all of which the devil is
promising shall be yours if you barter
1heyd1vinity that is your heritage and
folluW him. who sought to betray your
Uhris1?'~
From the lips of the loving,
Christ, who died. for you, comes the
warning: . “What is a man profitted 1f
he shall gain the whole world and lose
his own soul? 01' what shall a man
' giveiin exchange for his soul?”

“my She Takes His Name.
The practice of a woman changing
her name on marriage originated from
a Roman custom, and came into use
after the Roman occupation, says {1
writer in “The Commercial Tiibune.”
Thus, Julia and Octavia, mariied to
Pompey and Cicero, were called by the
Romans Julia of Pompey, Oct-avi a. of
Cicero. and in later times women in
most European countries signed their
names in the same way, but omitted
thc‘ of ” On the other hand, at the
i beginning of the seventeenth century,
_..._...
the usage seems doubtful, since we
find Catherine Barr so signing herself
aftei she had twice mauled, and w 0 al-
1135s hear of Lady Jane Grey mot
Dudley) Arabella Stuart (not Sev
mour), etc.
The custom, however, is not univer—
sal. In Spain and Portugal married
women do not take the names of their
Lliiisbnnds, but continue to be known
by their own. In many parts of the
United States a woman never reliu‘
quishcs her maiden name, and'is called
by it as often as by that of her hus-
band. Even in the rural parts of Eng-
land one often finds :1 married woman
called by her maiden name, and in
country districts of Scotland, it is
sometimes found that both names are
used. In many parts of France and
Belgium the husbands and wife’s
names are used together when either
of them is mentioned—New York Tri-
bune.
The 1’1'inte1"s Translation.
A gentleman once delivered an ad-
dress which he sent to the printers. He
had used the well-known phrase “N0
cross, no crown.” The gentleman’s
handwriting not being legible the
p1intei mistook the phrase, and on the
address appearing in mint, to the
author‘s disgust. it read, “No 0011 s, no
creuni."——T11'ink1es.
