But here comes in defective ma kim so
often quoted: where thereisso much smoke
there must be some fire. Look at all the
smoke for years around Jenner, the in tro-
Queer OF vaccination: and the smoke around
Columbus, the discoverer: and the smoke
around Martin Luther and Sayonarola and
Calico and Paul and John and Christ and
tell me where was the fire? That is one of
the satanic arts to make smoke without fire.
SANDER like the world, may be made out of

They get cheated outof 81 900, or misinter-

land, and Ireland called the Isle Of Man, and
the seas dash against all sides of it, and 1
am told that there is no more lovely place
than that Isle of Man; but when a man be-
comes insular in his disposition and cut him

him is an Atlantic ocean of selfshness. Be-

text: ga man that hath friends must show

appropriate salutation. Have you noticed
that the head is SO poised that the easiest
thing on earth is to give a nod of recogni-
ton? To swing the head from side to side,
as when it is wagged in derision. is unnatural
and unpleasant; to throw it back
invites vertigo; but to drop the
chin in greeting is accompanied with
SO little exertion that all day long and every
day you might practice it without the least

knuckles not made so that the fingers can
turn in, clasping hands; and the thumb di-

that while the fingers take your neighbours

Five sermons in every healthy hand urge us
to handshaking.
Besides this, every day when you start out
load yourselfup with kind thoughts, kind
words, kind expressions, and kind greetings.

SO badly off he would have said something
about it." We are all, especially those of
nervous temperament, susceptible to kind
words. From conspiracy against us, and
let ten men meet us at certain points on our
way over to business, and let each one say:
s'How sick you look thought we should
start out well, after meeting the first and
hearing his depressing salute we would begin
to examine our symptoms. After meeting
the second gloomy accosting we would con-
clude we did not feel quite as well as usual.
After meeting the third oursensations would
be dreadful, and after meeting the fourth,
unless we expected a conspiracy, we would go
home and go to bed, and the other six pes
simsts would be anseess surplus Of dis

what do you mean by going about this world
with disheartenments? Is not the supply of
gloom and trouble and misfortune enough
to meet the demand without your running
factory of pins and spikes? Why should you
plant black and blue in the world when God
SO seldom plants them? Plenty of scarlet col
ors, plenty of yellow, plenty of green, plenty
OF pink, but livery seldom plant black or
blue. l never saw a black flower and there's
only here and there a bluebell or
violet; but the blue is for the most part
reserved for the sky and we have to
look up to see that and when We look up no
color can do us harm. Why not plant along
the paths OF Others the brightnesses instead
of the glooms? DO not prophesy misfortune.
If you must be a prophet at all be an
Ezekiel and not a jeremiah. In ancient
times prophetsswho foretold evilwere doing
right, for they were divinely directed, but
