THE SERPENT OF DRINK, i
at Last IU Coils Will Tighten and
Crush Out the Lifs of Its
Victim.
Whenever the serpent of strong drink
Kills Itself around a man, hs ls sure to
?o, If he does not slop short, face about
ind let lt alone.
About 17 years ago I had the pleasure
if hearing Georg* W. Bain, of Ken
"Mkj/i lecture, and lt changed tbs
tourse of my life. I saw if I svsr had a
tome I must cut out the drink. So 1

ny tack] star for a warning Id time.
io I warn you. my brother; stop before
it is too late. I read an account of a
roung man some years ago, who went
rum England to the Jungles of Africa
sith an exploring party, and while there
naught a young boa constructor, and for
amusement he used to spsnd his spare
Lime teaching his suake to do many won
lerful tricks. On* was to coll it-salt
ibout his feet and around hts body, and
is It grew to full als* lt reached above
ii* head and would curve over and kiss
bis face, and at a signal would drop to
the ground. Bo, when he returned, be
us?-d to give exhibitions and became
rerjj popular and made money, and with
that formed the habit of drinking. One
light he was to give an exhibition In
Manchester. The scene was set In an
sf rican jungle. A traveler came In view
from one side of the stage and stopped
and listened and stood spellbound. Then
a rustle was heard as of thestsalthy move
Ing of some heavy object. Presently
there appeared the head of a great snake
with eyes like balls of Are, and lt crept
toftly to the man and wound itself
kbout him, up and over, and brought
Ita head In line with its face. The man
gave the signal, but the serpent had him
entirely In its power, and with onetlght
lalag ot Its body crushed the Ute out
>f its victim.
This Illustrates the drink habit as
veil as anything I ever heard or. So I
? iy to you that have never start?
ed, don't begin; and to those that have
Oegun, stop berore it ls too late.?Frank

There Is another kimi of loee of which
I want to speak to you today. At the

upon us with soi.'mn Import I.king
backward over thu year that ls gone,
how sail ls the thought of our lost
days! I>nys there have been in which
we might have done work for God
which we have suffered to pas- sway
in i,lioness, days Which eau lie. it 1")
recalled which we have frittered away
uselessly.
We all kt'iw the old adage that "time |
ls money." We are all rea,ly to grant
that this axiom ls true. "H s tuan has
no regard for the time of other men,"
wrote Horace Greeley, "why should he
have for their moue., ] What ls the dif?
ference between stealing a man's hour
and stealing his *..".? There art- many
men to whom each hour ,,f thc business
lay is worth more thsn $",." Rat,thoagh
time means money to most of us. time
should mean more than that, lt ls a (
sacred trust committed to us, for the
right use of whick we shall have to f
give account. Little enough ls t'
lion we csn devote to our Hostel
les. If we waste it we defraud God,
We wasts these days simply by wast?
ing here a minute and there a minute.
This thought was brought borne lo me

Comparing Scripture with Scripture.
I. The Needy Multitude, vs. 1-4 ?
Jesus had goi,< ia to at?
tend the feast, and, as usual, the place
of greatest uecii was the place
He was to be found. At this pool of
Bethesda there was a great multitude
of Impotent folk, the blind, halt and
withered, gathi
so occupies our thought that S
get the mu.titudes that were not so
bleaaed. Bural*/ lt wa* i.
lack of power or willingness on Jesus
part to heal, but because the necessary
faith was lacking. What a sad propor?
tion?one out of a multitude, when all
might have hi I And this pro?
portion continues to-day.
II. The Impotent Maa Hi a,cl. (li
A Desperate Cam, v. 5.?A chronic case
of 88 years' standing. No physician
would undertake to cure inch a case,
but Jesus delights to baie tl,,
cases come to Him. There ls nothing
too hard for Him -Ctn. 18:14; Jer
32:17.27, Heb |

turned away with the answer: "Not
now." 1 r> mark to Paul,
people are saying: 'Cr, thy way this
time; when 1 have a more coi.i
season, I will call for thee." Souls Im?
potent because of sin are refusing to be
healed. They lora darkness rather than
light because their deeds are evil.?
John 3:19.
(41 The Reply of Dawning Faith, v
7.?His reply Implies hil longing to be
healed and his vagus hope that Jesus
sill help him into the pool. This little
faith Jesus honors, and di
