MAN THE LIFE-BOAT! (adveetisement. ) In the large-hearted spirit of self-denial and by yourselves giving up the use of stimulants, we appeal to you to help us to break up the customs of society that are tending to and promoting the evil of •drunkenness. We want help, influence, co-operation in this work, believing that we shall be in the end successful. Every great movement is a progressive movement. We cannot carry outpour reform all at once. It -may take generation after generation: What of.thatP We should so identify ourseives 1 with every great movement, ,a» t<> tee] that, we l7 ar« cp; operating' with God and angels'in preventing «iri— That, it'seenwitb me, is what we should aim at. A gentlemen said to me once, ".Mr Gough, according to your teaching, the devil is stronger than God is." I am ' not theologian enough to rebut such an accusation as that we are preaching up this doctrine that the devil i* stronger than God. Satan is the god of this world, and the great object is to fight Satan and win the world back to God. And. if we can co-operate with [ Him, and all holy angels, in rescuing this sincursed world from the grasp of Satan, then we who work shall cast our crowns befpre Him, laying our laurels at Hi*., feet, and shall worship Him, ■« who> has put all things under His feet* and has subdued all things unto Himself, and who has honoured us by making us co-workers with Him. It is worth while to work for others. 11 is worth something to save life. As the day broke one fearfully stormy morning, a large barque ran on a bank of sand, eight miles from the British coast, and lay there at the mercy of the waves filling with water. She rapidly began to settle, the waves breaking fiercely over her. Her boats were knocked to pieces ; her hatches were forced up. Eighteen men were in the rigging, clinging to the shrouds of that sprung and broken fore* mast; the mainmast was gone. No hope was in their hearts ; no help was nigh. But is there no hope and no help P They are seen from the shore. No sooner is is the word passed, " A wreck ! a wreck !" than the gallant boatmen spring to the beach. " Man the life-boat !" Yes, but the waves are driving so furiously into shore. "Man the life boat I" Yes, but the snow is drifting iin blinding squalls. "Man the life- boat!" One by one the noble fellows take their places. Out they dash in the teeth of the gale. " Oars put my men. Steady ! Oara oi;t!" They are knee deep in water. The waves beat, upon them; they are drenched, and all but drowned. (To, be Continued.)
