HOW COFFEE AFFECTS PEOPLE

New York has doctor of unusual
brightness who has busted himself lately
writing pithy and scholarly monograms
on some Of the baptised and endorsed
evils Of society. His latest manifesto is
on GLOW Coffee Affects People, and the
aim of the paper is to show that coffee is
one Of the most powerful drugs in the list
of medicines. The proof of its power as
a drug is shown by the fact that it is used
to greater extent than any other as an
antidote for poisons, both animal and veg
etable. lie urges that he does not desire
to reach the car of the public in general;
but Of those who have pains in the region
of the heart oppressed breathing and an
irregular pulse; those who are exceed
ingly nervous and unable 50 sleep at night;
those who have full feeling, dizziness and
pains of neuralgia character in the head;
who have nausea and sourness Of the
stomach without having transgressed the
laws of life; who have pains in the liver, a
yellow skin, with eyes of the same sort;
and lastly, who have hemorrhoids.
II the doctor supposes he has left out
one or two of all creation from this list he
may be right, but he certainly is moving
wide swath, and may honestly say he is
after the ear Of the public. To those he
offers one suggestion. Omit coffee for a
time, throw physic to the dogs, and find
ont if the trouble after all is not in the
drug used as beverage. In moderate
doses coffee raises the blood pressure and
accelerates the heart. Now, says the doc
tor. heart disease is in the main an easily
prevented disease, and it is very frequently
| due to the excessive use Of coffee. III

TasE EVERLASTING LOVE.

tNo, Charley, | shall not kiss you to-
night; you have been bad, troublesome
boy to-day, and wish you to realize that
you have displeascd me, and your Heavenly
Father, too God does not love bad child
rem, and neither do |.
1t was mothers voice that spoke, but
Ter tome was Geld and unsympathctic. The
boy looked OF her wistfully for moment
and then left thereon with a troubled face.
''Thcre is no Use iii saying my prayers
tonight, " he said to himself as he crept
into bed IF God is angry with me He
Will not listen to me, and don't care. "
Down stairs the mother bent over her
work with an aching heart, as she thought
of her boy waywardness; and as she lifted
mp her heart in prayer for him, she little
knew that with her own hand, that night,
she had sowed seed Of infdelity that
would spring mp into luxuriant growth in
time TO come.
Twenty five years later guilt-stalned
man, bowed down under the weight of re-
morse, sat with his face buried in his hands,
in his pastors study. at is useless totalk
to me of Gods mercy and love" he cried
bitterly. Il have sinncd too deeply God
is of purcr eyes than to behold iniquity.
For me there can be only fearful looking
toward to Judgment.
Eainly the tender voice spoke to him of
the pity of Him who ''reeeiveth sinners,
of the ''bood that clcanseth,' of the love
that is Everlasting" Too long had it been
the habit of his mind to feel that God was
an enemy to be lcared-onc whose
power was used to overthrow the sinner,
one to whom vengeance belongeth." The
beautiful promises of the gospel fell upon
deaf cars 7 have sinned too deeply,
there is no hope forme, was his unvaryng
answer; and when the interview was over,
he sought to drown his remorse by plunging
into still deeper excuses.
s'God does not love bad children"
Mothers, beware that this heresy be not
taught in your nurseries. Love begets
love- and hate bcgets hate.
bet the thought most deeply impressed
upon the young hearts given to your care
be, that the awfulness of sin is that it is
wrong against love. That it is not Gods
anger they should fear, or the punishment
th.t follows wrong-doing, but that they
should most dread to grieye the dear
Saviour. who has said to each one of U.S.
II have loved thee with an everlasting
love-
Teach Your little ones that God is at war
with sin because He loves the sinner, and
therefore. Wills to break the bands with
which Satan has bound HIM; that even
when we tramplc on that love, We cannot
destroy it; that we are His by creation,
Ills by purchase, and that He cannot forget
the work of His own hands; for if this
thought be truly impressed, although in
aftcrllc conscience may be stillcd, and
the wrong path chosen for a while, there
may come a time when the prodgal will
weary ol his huslls, and then his penitent
eyes will be lifted, not despairingly, but
hopefully, to the Fathers house, as he sees
Christ. not as the door closed against him,
bnt the open door through which he may
gain access to that Fathers presence. -

When Abraham Lincoln was placed in
the Presidential chair in 1861, there was
not man living that even predicted the
downfall of American slavery inside Of a
qaarter of century-yet. inside Of two
years the slaves were free. This was
quick work and it was done in a way that
was never planned by man and no political
party can claim all the credit for it. SO it
