passage comes into my mind. ''Ali things

Suppose a man Is all the time worried
about his rsputationi One man says he lies,
another says be Is stupid, another says he Is
dishonest, and half dozen printing estab-
lishments attack him, and no is in great
state OF excitement and worry and fume, and
cannot sleep; but religion comes 10 him ard
says: "Man, God Is ON your side; he viii
you. who can be against your How much
should that man worry about his reputationi
Not much IL that broker who soma years
ago In Wall street, after he had lost money,
sat down and wrote o farewell let

OF the world try this almighty sedative.
You will live twenty-five years longer under
its soothing power. II is not choral that

Again, practical religion is a friend OF
longevity in the fact that it removes all cor
roding care about future existence. Every
man wants to know what is TO become OF
him. IL you get on board rail train you
want to know at what depot it is going to
stop; il you get on board a ship you want TO
know into what harbor it is going to run, and
il you should tell me you have no interest in
what is to be your future destiny, would in

subject put together would make a martyr

There are people who fret themselves to death

two or three experiments. Experiment first:
When you go out of this world it does not

OF error, you win 60 straight to glory. "Im.
possible" you say; my common sense as
we'll as my religion teaches that the bad and
tho good cannot live together forever You
give me no comfort in that experiment.
Experiment the second: When you leave this
world You viii go into an intermediate

and prepared for heaven. Impossible" you
sny: "as the tree falleth so IL must lie, and
| cannot postpone 20 an intermediate state
reformation which ought to have been ef-
fected in this state" Experiment the third:
There is no future world; when man dies
that is the last Of him. Do not worry about
what you arc TO do in another state of being.
you will not do anything "Imposible," !"
you say; there is something that tells mo
that death Is not the appendix. but the pref
nee; there is something that tells me that on

Well, ycu defeat me IN my three expert

mighty One on n knoll back Of Jerusalem ono
day-the skies filed with fcrked lishtnings
and the earth filed with volcanic disturb
ances-turned his pale and agonizej face
toward the heavens and said: II take tho
sins and sorrows of tns ages into my own
heart. I am the expiation. Witness earth
and heaven and bell, I am the expiation-"
And the hammer struck him, and the SPEARS
punctured him. and heaven thundered: Tho
