ve there is a happier woman in all England. If she had taken
another course she might have been the means of ruining these young men.
There is one thing that Christians ought to ask themselves. Ask your
heart, "Is this the work of the devil?" That is the plain question. If
it's the work of the devil turn your back against it. I would if I
thought it was. If it is the work of God, be careful what you do. My
friends, it is a terrible thing to fight against God. If it is the
Lord's wish, come out and take your stand, and let there be one united
column of people coming up to heaven. Let every man, woman and child, be
not afraid to confess the Lord Jesus Christ.

A Business Man Confessing Christ.

When I was in Ireland I heard of a man who got great blessings from God.
He was a business man--a landed proprietor. He had a large family, and a

to follow out their profession.

Two Young Men.

I heard a story about two young men who came to New York City from the
country on a visit. They went to the same boarding-house to stay and
took a room together. Well, when they came to go to bed each felt
ashamed to go down on his knees before his companion first. So they sat
watching each other. In fact, to express the situation in one word, they
were both cowards--yes, cowards! But at last one of them mustered up a
little courage, and with burning blushes, as if he was about to do
something wrong and wicked, he sunk down on his knees to say his
prayers. As soon as the second saw that, he also knelt. And then, after
