"SHoW THYSELF A MAN. From
this brief text the reverend gentleman
preached sermon, appealing to the
soldierly instincts of his hearers. It
was characteristic sermon, touching
on many points that were equally sig
nificant to laymen-the nobility of self
sacrifice, the eternal necessity of show
Ing strong, good example to all men.
In developing the theme DIR. Dunneu
said that when King David spoke these
words he had had experiences greater
than fell to the lot of most kings. He
had passed the prime of life, and forty
years of sovereignty had given him
knowledge of the various and far reach
ing significance Of the word man. He
knew the Interpretation placed on the
word by the higher caste; he knew the
great conservative middle class and its
views of the term, and restless revolu-
lions he had to deal with. He used the
word man to Solomon, not in any of its
special signifcances, but in its grand
and universal sense. He, with the far
seeing eye of a geat statesman, appre-
ciated that the time would come when
the mere insignia of royalty would
not be sufficient to rule his people, so
he gave the memorable advice to his
son, "Show thyself a man." AS David
appreciated, when he invested Solomon
with the insignia of royalty, that it
alone would not be sufficient to make
him great, SO the soldier should remem-
Der that the uniforn-the livery of the
State-is not sufficient unto him. He
must be ready to do, to suffer, to con-
quer, to build up in discipline, devotion
and duty, faith and virtue, knowledge,
patience, and brotherly kindness.

Lost Seven Pounds in Three Weeks.

Allan's Anti-Fat is genuine medi-
cine, and will reduce corpulency from
two to five pounds per week. Purely
vegetable and perfectly harmless, acting
entirely on the food in the stomach, pre-
venting the formation of fat. It is also
a positive remedy for dyspepsia and
rheumatism.
