"LEAD US NOT INTO TEMPTATION"


How appropriate is the above short but
beautiful and impressive prayer to the situa-
ton and condition of the reformed inebriate.
He is peculiarly liable to temptation, and is
frequently an object Of ridicule to those who
have not strength of mind sufficient to abstain
from their cups, and is sometimes the object of
design. 95 goas,s al a5a a


There have been men so base, SO regardless
of the prophecies and decencies of life-so ut
terly destitute Of honor and honorable feeling,
as to lie in wait for opportunities TO t;rutrate
the good resolves Of those who are endeavor-
ing to throw off the yoke of Intemperance, and
who are struggling to attain and maintain
respectable position among their fellow men.
Their arts have too frequently been successful,
and the poor struggler has been cast back into
the mire from which he had just emerged, to
find it more difficult still to break the chains
with which the--tyrant Intemperance had dou-
bly, bound him. Depending on his o,Dn strength,
he has fallen victim to the ssroaring lion, who
goeth about seeking whom he may devour."
Perhaps, had he uttered the simple, yet touch
ing sentence, .'''Lead me not into temptation
but deliver me from evil,' in the presence of
the tempter- the desire TO partake OF the in
soxicating draught might have been removed
from him, and he have remained pure and un-
de6led by the Communicating touch or taste of
the seuLhardening draught. Let those who
are striving to conquer this dangerous propen-
sity bear this in mind, and when tempted to
beray their honor, let them remember the.
words ~Deliver me from evil" and in their
daily walks, 'Lead me not into tempatation.''
