Never Dare the Devil

DARING the devil is a venturesome business. A reformed drunkard, for two years kept away from his drinking chums and the saloons. A friend observed that he was found quite often in front of the drink-shops, and admonished him. "Oh," said he, "there is no danger. I can look in and never want to drink. I am safe." His friend was alarmed at this evidence of his blindness, and grew earnest: "If there is no danger, why do you come round this way every morning and stop," he asked. "To show my strength" was the reply. In less than a week he was in a spree that did not end for weeks. It will be time to show our strength when the devil hunts us up. Till then it is wise to never dare the devil.—Baptist Record.
