Text. James H., 2O-"Faith without
works is dead
The Roman Catholic Church has been
charged with making too much of good
works and not enough Of faith. I chal.
lenge Professionalism with not making
enough Of good works. Fer his good works
no man will be saved, but if there be no
good works il is sure siga that there is no
genuine faith and no real religion. There
are many people depending on the fact
that they are sound inside, although they
are
Inconsistent Outside.
Their religion is made Of talk, vigorous
talk, perpetual talk. They will entertain
you by the hour in telling you how good
they are. They have come to such high
er life that they have no patience with or
dinary Christians who go about the plain
discharge of their duties.
Practical religion must be taken into all
merchandise. 1t will supervise the labsl-
ing Of goods. 1t will not allow the mer-
chant to give the idea that the fabric came
from one factory that really came from.
Ii q watch was made in Massachusetts il
will not allow him to say that it was made
in Geneva, Switzerland. II the wine has
been made in California il will not allow
him to say that it was made in MADEIRA. 1t
will 90 along all the store shelves and tear

/ tiou. IL will not allow a merchant to say

root and horse chestnut and chicJry, or

| and ground glass. II religion should some
/ day get out in full swing it would go into
! plug of one-half the casks OF adulterated
/ syrup and dump into the ash barrel OF the
| street the caSsia bark passed off for Cinns
| mon and the briCk-dust sold for cayenne,
| and shake the PrusSian blue out OF the tea
leaves, and sitt from the -four bone dust,
! plaster OF paris and soapStone, and drive
| the live animacules out OF the brown sugar
and by quick chemistry separate the quart

| few drops of honest cows milk; and en-
tering the boot store would rub oil the iC
titiOus soles OF many tine loo king pair o
shoes in which paSteboard is
Sandwiehed with sound Leather.
The aduleration of articles OF food is sc
| great that it is a wonder there is live man
| or woman in America Heaven only knows
what they put into the butter, into the
sugar, into the spices into the syrups, into
! the wines, into the pOthecary drugs. The
| microscope and chemical analysis have
made wonderful revelations. The Board oi
| Health in Massachusetts, analyzed a guam
tity of what is called ground coffee and
| found in il not particle OF coffee. Though
the law in England forbidS putting alum
in bread, the authorities examined nifty
Oae packages and found them all guilty
An honest physician writing a presCript
| ion knows not but that it may bring deatt
10 the patient by the fact that some Of the
drugs of the apOthecary may be powerleS:
through cheap mixture while others are
in full strength and the medicine have op
posite effect from that intended.
OIL OF wOrmwood,
warranted pure from Boston, was found Il
contain 40 per cent. of resin, alcohhol and
chlo:ofOrm. Scamony, a very important
medical drug is obtained at great care and
expense. 1t is the sap or gum of tree ia

| An incisiOn made at the root and shell
fastened at the incision and into that shell
exudes the sap or gum and it is very
| precious and very scarce. The peasant

then the merchant at Aleppo mixes II
! again. Then it comes to the wholesale
dealer IN London or New York and he
mikes it sgsin, end then the retail drug
! giSts mixes il again, and by the time the
patient gets il into his bottle II has became
| ashes and chalk and sand, and pure
scamony when snalyzed has often been
| found 10 have no SCaMOny at all.
Religion, il it is worth anything, will no
| only shsw itself in merchandise but it will
| purify all mechanism aud all toll till Il

as when il
Works by the Day.
