| am profoundly impressed that the
turning away OF SD many puluits from
genuine gospel themes to the secu.nritie,
of life is disastrous to the spirituality of
the church and the salvation of souls.
While the crown rights Of Christ arr re.
jccted Christians cannot run the world. =
Let me then solcmn,y charge Won 10
preach she Word. Magnify your onirc.
The royal ordinance OF preaching. The
pulpit Is Your throne aud the Sword Of
the Spirit your scoptrc. Let others oc-
cupy themselves with politics, reform,
legal suasioE and the clatter OF human
machinery run by man power, hut your
calling ant your forte is the preaching
the gospel to save men from sin and hell
to God. You can thus do your best for
God and man, Church and State.
When the church is worldly, secular
unspritual and unbeieving, all moral
forces inll back, but if she is filled with
faith and the Holy Spirit all moral forces
advance. BE true then, to your vocation.
Preach the Word.

Health is the best inheritance. It leaves
its influence even to the third and fourth
generation. What greater happiness has
life i'll store for any man than to live to a
green old age surrounded by his children
and his childrcn's children, and see them
all robust. happy and successful Happy
the man who lives to carve at the wedding
suppers of his grandchildren. Picture your
self gray-haired but hearty old man at the
head of the table at your grandson's we'd
ding, thanking your Maker for tic blessing
of long life. and asking the blessing Of
good health for generations yet unborn. It
lies in almost every mans power TO be thde
blessed if he will. If he will only obey Nat
urc's laws and be watchful of his health
he will have long life and happiness.
The best preServcr of health is DR.. Pierces
Golden Medical Discovery. 1t keeps the
digestion perfect, the liver active, and the

with great care. He pays the minuest
attention to details. He is glad to do ex>
ira clerical work, assisting at night in the
indeXing of the county records, writing
up the books of a tradesman, or scrutn,
ling the books of the local banks, for he
is an expert accountant. He is known as
the hardest worker in the village and his
personal life is entirely correct. GeneSeo
folk generally do not believe that Ward
was Intentionally dishonest. They look on
him as Intellectually incapable of deliber-
ately planning the elaborate schemes in
which he finally became involved. Once
the firm of Grand & Ward was started.
its momentum carried it beyond his con-
troll and after that his life was a success
sion of struggles to keep from being swept
Off his feet. His friends and neighbors
are charitable enough to give him the ben
efit Of the doubt.
Anyone who is stylishly dressed is
prominent figure on the streets of an
American village, and for this reason Fer
dinand Ward is marked man in Genesceo.
AS a boy he was a dude, as a young man
he was a fop, as a juggler of stocks and
securities he was a dandy, as surrogate's
clerk he is the best dressed man in the
town. His clothes are Invariably of the
best quality up-to-date, and his linen is
immaculate. One might search with a mi
croscope for speck of dust, even on the
patent leather shoes He is q short spare
man, with a long, solemn, clean-shaven
face, bearing a faint resemblance to An
thony Hope. There are few wrinkles i'm the
smooth, pale face. and his hair is Just
turning gray. His manners are quiet.

a man whose thoughts have ever a serious

As II minor clerk in the surrogate's office
Wards salary is not munidcent. and he
must think of his old New York days with
a bitter smile, unless, as it may be- he has
gained content-something he never had
when he was a Wall street wizard. He
lives with his second wife, to whom he
was married a few years ago, in the fam
lily homestead on Ward street, which was
bequeathed to him by his father, Rev. Fer
dinand Dewitt Ward, a man of great
prominence in his profession in his day.
Since his occupancy of the place Ward
has built small house at one end of the

the slight independent means of his wife
constitutes the income of the family. II

pensive habits He does not even keen a
horse-and nearly everyone in Geneseo
keeps Il horse.

VINO has the devotion of an English land
owner to hunting and athletics The Wad-
worm hunts are famous, though none Of
tne enthusiastic hunters have ever cap

Whlle Ward may not be an expert eques-
trian, he is known as an authority on the
history of New York state. There is no
state in the union whose history is so rich
as the empire state particularly the west

He has collected valuable library Of
books dealing with early Indian history,

he is living life of rectitude, putting

Wards first business enterprise, as has
been often told in print was the running
OF small job press, but the business was
not a success so he asked a Geneseo liv-

Ward was delighted with the chance
But when he looked at the bill his face
flushed 1t was a bill against himself.
He paid it and got the job, and he made
