Wo aro npt to gct dtsheartened

For, ln splte ot cnro and catitlon,
Tliorns wlll grow among the llowera.
And where onco the aeed we acattorod
In the sprlngtlmo puro and aweet,
I,o I we ilnd when coines the harvest

Wo roar sow the aeeds of temperauco
Iu the heart ot glrl or boy,
But tho gllded dens ol batau
Wftlt thelr vlctlnis to destroyi
Wo may plant the temperauco banuer
O'er tlio homea ot want nnd woe,

Aud cxultant laya It low.
llut though Batan'a liosts nro marahalled
To defeat thla causo of ours,
And the cloud ot black Intemperanco
Darkly o'er our pathway lowcra,
Yot we'll flght tho wlnnlng battle,
I'or our troops are bravo and strong:
Urnlns undlmmed and pulses ateady,
They wlll trlumph o'er the wrong.
Let us, test our courage fattor,
At thls temperanco revlew,
llrlng bcfore us In proceaslen
Alllea whlch wlll prore us truo.
It may holp to bo more atcadfast,
In the comlng bltter fray,
To bellovo that In thls confllct
Wo are not alone to-day.
Flrst, we'll head thls vast processlon
Wlth tho words anddeeds ot tbose
Who were heroes ln tho atrugglo
From tho dawn ot llte 'tlll closot
And though now thelr bodles moulder,
Vet thelr aplrlts bathe In llght,
And thelr llves stlll llvo to bleaa us,
And wlll lead us ln the Sght.
Noxt we aeo the many faces
Of our war-acnrred veteraua,
Who havo done tts yeoman servtce,

Often wlth the war-cry rlnglng
Havo they atormod hell'a gatea anew,
And wo'vo wrltton on tlielr bannora
" Theso the fnlthful, trled and truo."
Noxt no aee a ttrong battalion
Of the wotnen of the land,
Who havo donncd the tempernnce armor
And gone forth a conquerlng band.

For ho knowa tho heart-beats throbblng
'Noatli those knotsof rlbbon white.
All too well ho knows that often
IIo has entered bomes of joy,
Aed wlth wlly arta begulllng
Rulned thero her darllng boy.

Turni at last upon lta foe,
She has faced the dreaded evll
And ls deallng blow on blow.

" Save the mllllona " la hor cry j
And when womau doua her armor
She wlll conquer or wlll dlo.
Thua n nilghty powor she'a wloldlng,
Wlth her shafts at evll hurlcd,
For "the hand that rocks the cradle"
Is " the hand that rules tho world."
Noxt wlthlu thla vaat proceaslon

And thelr badgoa, " C. K," " K. L,"
Ollsten aa they niarch along.

Wlth no kuowledgo of the flght,
llut thelr bravo young hearts beat proudly
As they dare to do the rlght.
Evcniiowthcclarlons aounded
From the leadera of the band,
" Forward, comradcs, to the rescue,
Lot ua aavo our fatherland."
Aud, raethluka, I lee a tremor,

Anawer back a glad " Wo wlll."
And I seo tho masilve column

And, wlth banners to the breezea,
Ile.itlng back tho hosta of crlme
Taking fortreaa after f ortress
Of tho domon alcohol.
'Tlll wo aeo hls mlghty klngdom

Noxt we note ln thla processlon
A flno corpa of our reaerve,
Now ln traliilng for thla army,
Aa lta futuro braln and uerve.
Many mllllona of them marchlng,
From the Sunday-school they come;
And thelr little hearts beat quickly
To the tuno of love and home.
When thelr brothers fall ln battle,
Wlth thelr facca to the foe,
These will aelze the royal bauner
And to victory wlll go.
They wlll echo stlll our war cry,
Aa they charge the rebol band,
" 'Tls for liberty we wreatle,

And ainong our worthy alllea

To encourage, strengthen, bless.

Tho churchcs of to-dav should bo

probloma of tho day.
a lrst ot all, ciiurciica anouiu como ln
touch wlth tho nccds of tho mass of tho
peoplo. Tho timo for doctrinal eor-
mons is nast, conBcnuenuy au sermons
should touch Hghtly upon the nccept-
anco of doctrinal points, but most
strongly on good works for tho peoplo
on intomporanco and duties of indl
viduals in soclely to themselvos and to
otners.
Proof-toxts for the cdlQcation of
hoarers amount to llttlo but a wasto of
tlmo, but if a sermon can havo tho
powor to touch tho bed-rock of human
naturo and anneal to tho avoraco in-
telllgenco of tho people on subjccts of
right llvlng, intomporanco, dutios to
the govornmont, lo Bocioty and to
thomaelves, so as to awakon a dlrcct
cousciouBiiess of tho rceponsiblo duty
we owo to overy human belng, as woll
as to our Makor, wo could well say such
sermons bear to us a Christ-liko mes-
sago of a llvlng gospel that calls to cach
ono
" To bo up and dolng,
Wlth n heart for nny f ate,
Btlllachlovlng, stlll pursulng,
Learn to labor and to walt "
for tho upbuilding of humanity. Tho
idea that becauso a creod or dojrma ox
isted in tho pnst lt niust bo hcldBacrcd,
is to-day but a cobwob on the face of
tho present, which tho hand of Pro
gression is fast brushing away. Novor
was thero a timo when questions of such
far-reuching sinificanco and Impor
tance confrontcd tho pulpit. Never a
time whon earnest and progressivo
work was moro noedcd than to'day.
Sermons should be givon that would
touch the hearts of men, aud bring them
into tho work of uplif ting the lowor
massca and thoso that havo lost tho
way in which our Lord and Master
walked.
The present dcmand3 of tho peoplo
require that tho clergy should throw
off thoir cloaks of creed and stop poa
ing so long on their intellcctual abllity
to explain aome technical paaaago in
tho Bible. If thoy would notloso their
rcligious enthusiasm by ao doing it
would flll many vacant seats in churchcs
to-day, und if they would lot the beau
tiful moaning ot the words, " I como
not to de8troy, but to fultll tho law,"
pormeato every discourac, thoy would
give now power to tho cxamplea of
Chriat. Chriat had no creed. His ono
great mesaago was tho love and father
hood of God and tho brotherhood of
man, and that beautiful messagu, when
clcarly understood, is tho shuttlo that
weavcs many golden, auuny threads in
tho dark web of lifo. I believe consor
vatiam in many ways haa crippled the
churches in thoir power for good, and
has restrained both preacher and
church from applying tho noble teach
ings of Christ to the daily wants of the
people for, as a neceaaity, creedal scr
monB do not and canuot deal with the
great social problema that threaten to
day to undermine tho stability of tho
nation. Every paator should rcalizo that
to preach tho gospel means a divino com
miasion, and hia minialrationB should
reach insidc and outsido in all that
pertuins to lifo. Christ went out among
atruggling and suffering humanity.
Ho uid not do his most oulcient work in
bowing to, llattering and whitowashing
men of wealth, whoso moral character
would not carry a feather's weight in
the acalo of integrity and honor. Tho
timo has como when tho Church cannot
keop silent longer on tho great ques
tiona that aro oppressing the maases.
Sho has beon handicapped long enough,
and sho should come fcarlcssly to tho
front and give oxpression to all that
relates 10 tho temporal neods of tho
poor men and women of to-day, for if
thero is any duty devolving on tho pas
tor it certainly is that of preaching ser
mons against intomporanco and op
prosslon in ovory form. The old the
ology of tho Puritana atill fluds too
much oxpreaaion from Now England
pulpita, and does not keep abreast with
the broader thought and moro rapid
growthof tho ninoteenth contury.
Christianity is a growth from princi
ples and not croeds. It ia a deplorablo
fact that to-day our minlatcra in cortain

churchcs havo rofusod to allow thelr
paator to cloao his church ono Sunday
evoning ln tho month to joln ln a unlon
temperance sorvlco at tho Onera Housn.
The pastors of two other churches woro
instructou not to cloao thoir churches
ono Sunday evenlng to joln ln a union
tomporanco servico nccaUBO tno lcc-
turor of tho evenlng belonged to ono of
tno more iiDcrai sociotlca. I mentlon
theae fow facts of many aimilar, whlch
cloarly show how hard it ls for a
Ereachor, oftontimos, to do tho work
o knows tho peoplo need, on account
of tho tremondous forco that ls brought
to boar on tho pulpit and preaa by tho
monopoliata.
Tho aigns of tho timea demand a liv
ing Chriat, a progrossivo gospel and an
earnest, inspiratlonal paator. who shall
work to lay out a courso of inatruction
for tho government of tho young in all
the varlous walks of lifo, sotting before
them tho highcst ideals of noble man
hood and womanhood. A paator ahould
Btrivo to mako thcm fcol that he is
espocially interested in them and that
his Hfo's work is for thoir welfaro and
upbuilding. Further ho should inter
est himsolf in the daily affalrs and
hopos of every man and woman wlth a
viow to ascortalning thelr needs. I
callspoclal attontion tothls aubiect, for
statistics show that in our large clties
hardly two per ccnt of tho work
ingmon and women attend church.
And thoy givo as a rcason that the
churches, as now couducted, aro for
tho rich, not the poor; for tho capi
talist, not tho laborer; for the liquor
manufacturor and dealor, not for the
poor intemperato and their wives and
childron and this simply becauso their
financial support comcs from tho rich,
the capitalists, tho liquor-manufacturer
and dealer, and not the poor, that moat
needs tho pulpit's uplifting iuiluence.
I would ask that our churches work
more diligently with us to help put
down thla great evil. The Christian
nationa aro tho only religioua nationa
whero druukenneaa ia tolerated. And
this fact makes us feel most fully thc
need of help from not only our churches,
but alao tho deacons and laymen of
certain churches nearbyus,to help put
down this terrible demon of evil.
Such times as those demand help from
every side. God givo us noble work
ers, with strong aud fearlesa souls, both
men and women, who poesess opinions
and strong minds, that will not turn
thia way and that to plcaso public opin
ion, but will work with readv hands
and atand for the right untif temper
anco reigns whero wrong rules the laud.
But we will bo bravo and fcar not,
and courage should be the watchword
of faltering souls every where; for there
was nover a timo in tho history of civ
ilization when so many noblo workers
wero banded together as to-day in this
our cauao for right. Notwithstanding
the liquor trafllc now nearly paralyzes
us, and chills us to the heart with its
powor, it shall yet bo put down. So
courage all, and look to the East, for
lo, tho dark clouds aro changing to
purplo and gold.
And our banner shall floatat the cates of new day,
So forward each worker and we'll make no delay;
For sad crlea from the hungry are lieard far anu
near,
And foud-hearted motbers are now weeplng ln
fear.
For the homea are all dark, for the drunkarda are
there,
And the childron nre dylng ln bopeless dospalr.

Of thelr darllngs. Wonder not that angeladraw

To help on our work to brlng Vlctory'a glad
