piazza at hotel, somewhat over
dressed lady approached him and
claimed his acquaintanc The G M

her. while bis wife and daughters

"Certainly," responded the old gen.
tleman promptly. "And remember
your mother when she used to sell root

THE CHRISTIANS AIM.

When we go into church which is
noticeahly out of repair, the incongruity
strikes Us at once. Worn carpets,
faded cushions, cra"' ed window-panes
and broken plastering do not seem
fifth 6 in place built for the honor OF
God. And so, when through careless
ness of worse we bring upon ourselves
bodily ills, the poor, broken-down
temple has lost something of its power
TO honor Him for whose glory it was
reared.
When we carry our Christianity into
our daily life, so that even our eating
and drinking are done to the glory Of
God, it will be easy to treat our bodies
as things holy. There will be no ques-
lion, then, of indulging in habits which
in any degree harm the temple God has
chosen for his abiding-place. "a sound
mind in healthy body" was tie old
Roman poets ideal of perfection, but
the Christian believer goesfurther, and
makes his prayer for pure heart, in a

Dig down to the cause OF your sick

well. Most likely it's indigestion. The
irritating poisons of fermenting, putrid
food, left in the stomach by Indigestion
causes headache neuralgia, nervous
ness, dizziness. stomachache, nausea,
irritability, and all the other well
known symptoms OF indigestion.
They also cause many pains and
disorders which are often laid to other
causes and hence are non easily cured.
But as soon as the poisons are removed
all these symptoms and disorders dis
appear. because there is nothing left
to cause them. Nothing succeeds in
