The man who limits himself to two

twenty. -four hours he needs just SO much
food to supply the wants of his system.
If he practices long abStinence, then,
when he next eats, to supply the requi-
site material, he Graves and takes more
into bis stomach than he can properly
digest. Again, vigor is required for
digestion, and if he is jaded and worn out
by work and long fasting. his digestive
power is not equal to the duty imposed
upon it. As all know, derauge the
stomach and the heart and brain share
in the disorder. The victim becomes
nervous and irritable, work which was
formerly easy to, and pleasure for him,
has now become task.

begin the use of stimulants. Prejudices

Rev. Sam Jones.

Trinity church was packed yesterday
morning, chairs having to be placed in
the aisles, with people who we're anxious
to hear Rev. Sam Jones preach.
The text was, "For God so loved the
world that he gave his only begotten Son
that whosoever believeth on him should
not perish but have everlasting life"
Mr.. Jones preached one hour and
announced in the beginning that he
would talk about an hour aud half,
and if anybody got enough before the
time had expired they could go home.
He didn't believe in stufing man With
preaching when he had had enough.
The preacher took the position that
God loved the meanest sinner as much as
he did the best Christian-"for God 80.
loved the world" When Christ was on
earth he never lost an opportunity to
scorch the amen corner fellows, but he
took the gentlest care Of the poor sinner.
How far will Gods love go7 Nay, ask
how far will mothers love 60. BE is

ones? Why, I think the worse boy is
the more his mother loves him. Let

cast. The mother will seem to care but
little for the preachers while she follows
and watches over the erring one.
"God loved the world and manifested
his love by giving his only begotten Son
80 we ought to love God. My dog
loves me because am kind to him, and
if you don't love God after all he has
done for you, you amt as good as my
dog"
Now, to love God you must love
your .fellowman. People like to hear
preachers talk about God, the Father,
but don't like sermons on man, my
brother. Denying yourself for your fel-
lowmen doesn't mean giving away old
clothes you don't want. Once poor
tramp went up to the house of great
Christian and found him eating dinner.
'Give me something to eat said the
tramp, for I am hungry and have no
money The great Christian cut of a

Now, we will ask blessing before we
eat said the Christian, and be proceeded

Every Man o Brick.

Very few of the thousands who use
the above slang term know its origin or
its primitive significance, according to
which it is grand thing to say Of man
"He's a brick" The word, used in its
original intent, implies all that is brave,
patriotic and loyal. Plutarch, in his
life of Agesilaus, King Of Sparta, gives
us the meaning of the quaint and famil.
lar expression. On certain occasion
an ambassador from Epirus, on a diplo-
matte mission, was shown by the King
over his capital. The ambassador knew
of the monarch's fame-knew that,
though nominally only King of Sparta,
he was ruler Of Greece-and he had look.
ed to sec massive walls rearing aloft
their embattled towers for the defense Of
the city, but found nothing Of the kind.
He marveled much at this, aud spoke of
it to the King. "Sire," said he, II have
visited most of the principal towns, and
I iud no wall reared for defense. Why
is this?" Indeed, sir ambassador, :"
replied Agesilaus, "thou canst not have
looked carefully. Come with me to-.
morrow morning aud I will show you
the walls of Sparta" Accordingly on
the following morning the King led his
guests out upon the plain where his
army was drawn up In full array, and,
pointing proudly to the patriot host, he
said: "There thou beholdest the walls
of Sparta-ten thousand men, and every
man brick ."-Northavestern Advocate.
