The light dawned upon him, and he became an
expounder of the word of God and a champion of Christianity; And Lord

INTEMPERANCE.
Cast Out But Rescued.
I met a man in New York who was an earnest worker, and I asked him to
tell me his experience. He said he had been a drunkard for over twenty
years. His parents had forsaken him, and his wife had cast him off and
married some one else. He went into a lawyer's office in Poughkeepsie,
mad with drink. This lawyer proved a good Samaritan, and reasoned with
him, and told him he could be saved. The man scouted the idea. He said:
"I must be pretty low when my father and mother, my wife and kindred,
have cast me off, and there is no hope for me here or hereafter." But
this good Samaritan showed him how it was possible to secure salvation,
got him on his feet, got him on his beast, like the good Samaritan of
old, and guided his face toward Zion.
