Sin’s Mark Upon the Face

SIN sets its seal upon the human face as distinctively as righteousness. An article in a New Orleans paper states the fact that experienced bar-keepers can tell what a man drinks by the peculiar discoloration of his skin. There is, it appears, a livery of whisky, of brandy, beer, absinthe,—each one doing its deadly work with strict individuality. In no little corner of the creation is law inoperative, whether it be the law of life or the law of sin and death. Could we but trace to its bitter end the destructive work of each agency of evil we would doubtless find even more distinctive markings in souls than science finds in bodies. —Selected.
