Liberated from Their Fetters

By the helpful, genial action of that most
benefcent Ofaperients, Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters, the bowels soon throw off the burden
that paralyzed and weakened them, and re-
sumo their normal freedom of action. The
action Of the Bitters. unlike that of average
purgatlyes. involves no gripping or drenching
II it did it would. like them, be valueless for
ordinary use. There is nothing ungentle or
unnatural attending its operation. Upon the
liver, no less than the bowels, its action Is
most benign, promoting a healthful bilious
secretion. and directing out of the wrong
and into the right channel. Conformity with
costiveness. other bilious symptoms disap-
pear when 1t is systematically used. and the
stomach Is strengthened as well as regulated
by It,. Malarial complaints, rheumatism, de-
bility, nervousness and kidney troubles are
completely relieved by it. Sleep and appe-
tite are invariably promoted it.

BE Got Away With It.

At the conclusion of a sermon
somewhere in Iowa, the preacher
requested some one to pass the
hat and take up a collection. A
young man jumped up and COM
ncedcirculating the hat in such
a manner as to finish the job and
pass out with the proceeds. The
preacher, eying him as he went
out, observed: "If that, young
man runs away with that money
he'll be damned" A deacon sit
ting by the window, seeing him
make off down the street, re-
sponded: Sand if be hasn't run
away with the money I'll be
danmed.'

outstretched to heaven until il withers, or the
moor monk who ilatters himself that he is pleas
inc God by lashing his back until it bleeds.
Il is a striking tribute to genius that Count
Tolstois views should ever have been taken
seriously, or regarded with more than that
curious interest which always attaches to the
weaknesses of n great mind. Archdeacon Far
rar reminds that there is nothing new in
these opinions. Every hermit that has ever
Withdrawn from his place in the world because
il was given over TO evil, and so has left 1t
without the influence he might have exered
for good has been practically ruled by them
History is filed with the stories of lives
wrecked by such decisions. When we examine
his ideas in detail we see more clearly than
before how sadly foolish they are. When a
man believes that because Christ said Judge
not' we must have no courts; that because He
said Resist not evip' war Of Sef-defence or
any war is wrong that because He said " Swear
not at alp there must be no oaths in courts
and the like, we can only wonder that an in
telect which has won such trumphs In one
field can show itself so narrow, so weak, even
so unsound in another.
Perhaps the most useful part of Archdeacon
Farrar's paper is that in which he shows that
many of Tolstoi's literal acceptatiOns Of
Scriptural sayings arise from ignorance OF their
real meaning When Christ promised the faith
full that they might move mountains, He was
employing a common Hebrew metaphor for the
removal of difficulties. A great rabbi, with
genius for solving troublesome questions, was
called "rooter-up of mountains" When
Christ said, "Ask and We shall receive" He

would draw carriages across France in a

Pole would not only illuminate that region,
but would diffuse an exquisite aroma over the
entire world Vagaries like these did not pre-
vent his ideas from largely influencing the
thought of mankind, and the world will surely
be the better for the sincerity and unselfshness
