Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased POI tion of the ear.
There is on y one way to cure Deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an intiamed con-
dltlon of the mucous lining of the
EuStachian Tube. When this tube gets
lnhamed you have rumblng sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed Deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation eau be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are caus.
ed by catarrh, which is nothing but an
infiamed condition of the mucous sur

Truth, or Fable

The adoption of human infants By wild
and carnivorous quadrupeds has obtain
ed more or less credence among the vul-
gar from the earlies. ages, and, while
such today are for the most part pooh
poohed as idle tales, the skeptics have
little idea of the evidence that has been
offered in substantiation thereos.
Half century ago the icon Solast who
would have dared question that Romu-
lus and Remus owed their nurturing to a
she wolf would have been laughed to
scorn by most lovers of the classics.
Twenty-Five years later the animal was
substituted, on the part of tutors, by a
woman named Lupa-a most inglorious
conclusion, derived solely from imag-
ination Today the tendency to ignore
all sentiment causes such ideas to re-
ceive scant courtesy, and, when senti-
ment is introduced as evidence, is met
by the undeniable statement that the
same miracle is accredited with preserv-
ing the lives of many gods and heroes
of antiquity. Consequently, if single
case of child being fostered and reared
by animals can be substantiated beyond
question, the result will be to rehabili-
tate as history much literature that,
solely on this account, has been relegat-
ed to the realm of fiction.-George Ar
chic Stockwell in January Lippincott's.

chivalry. but by cash, or collateral; and
the representative men are the men
representing capital-men who are COM
mercially successful.
"But you cannot define a man in terms
of mere financial skill, any more than in
terms of brute strength or power to rea-
son. A man must be measured in terms
of that which makes him man, in terms
of the highest as well as the lowest, in
terms of that which distinguishes him
from all lower forms of life; in terms of
heart and soul; in morals, in righteous
ness. Gods gentleman is the man who
best actualizes or expresses in himself
Gods thought of man. Jesus Christ was
Gods truest gentleman.
1.-The Christian is not something diff
ferent from the man. To be a Christian
in all that term implies is to be a whole,
sane man; the gospel of Jesus Christ is
really the gospel of manhood. To be-
come Christian is only a striving to-
ward that high and holy ideal of life
which pleads with us all in our truer mo-
ments and reeks to realize itself in us.
And when I stand this day and in the
name of God urge upon you to be Chris
tian am only calling you to become God
gentleman, to become a
strong, sane man, fully rounded, ra-
tional, thoroughly alive.

PERSONAL PURITY
Rev. A. C. Smither at the First
Christian Church

At the First Christian church yester-
day morning Rev. A. c. Smither preach
ed upon personal purity, choosing for his
text one of the beatitudes of Christ:
Blessed are the pure in heart, for they
shall see God. Referring to the Ser
mon on the Mount, the speaker said:
The teaching of Christ is remarkable
for its simplicity. Using figures of
speech drawn directly from nature, the
Great Teacher expressed himself in Ian
guage comprehensive to all classes of
people
Pureness of heart means purity of the
inner life, as contraSted to outward form
and ritualism. In his natural condition
as created by God mans life is pure; it
is only when Satan introduced eXtrane-
Gus ideas-those of evil and vice-into
his heart, that his life becomes impure,
because he is then thrown out of har-
mony with God.
'As man thinketh, so is he" The act
of tomorrow is the inevitable result of
the thoughts of today. If our character
is to be fashioned after the divine model,
if our lives are to be an elevating inlu-
ence to those about US and benedictiOn
to the human race, we must shun the
companionship of degrading thoughts.

The Grander Life

The ground plot of a mans own destiny
may be closely shut in, and the cottage of
his rest be small; but if the story of this
old world be not quite strange to him-if
If he can find its way through its vanished
cities to hear the pleadings of justice or
watch the worship of the gods; if ,he can
visit the battlefields where the infant life
of nations has been baptized in blood; if
he can steal into the prisons where lonely
martyrs have waited for their death; if
he can walk in the garden or beneath the
porch where the lovers of wisdom dis
course, or be a guest at the banquet where
the wine of their high converse passes
round; if the experiences of his own coun-
try and the struggles that consecrate the
very soil beneath his feet are no secret to
him, and he can listen to Latimer at Pauls
cross, and tend the wounded Hampden
in the woods of Chalgrove, and gaze, as on
familiar faces. at the portraits of Moore
and Bacon, of Vane and Cromwell of
owen, Fox and Baxter-he consciously be-
longs to a grander life than could be given
by territorial possession, he venerates an
ancestry auguster than a race of kings,
and is richer in the sources of character
than many merchant prince or railway
monarch.-James Martineau.
The herald., 1898-01-24

Impurity Of speech is natural outcome
of polluted thought, and nothing de-
grades more and works greater evii'than
vile words and immodest remarks. The
motives that dominate our thinking
pour forth an influence that shall de-
grade or uplift those with whom We as
sociate.
Going back to the text we find there is
the promise of blessing. What greater
blessing can one enjoy than the con-
sciousness of doing right, of living life
untouched by any defaming vice. What
sweeter peace can fill the soul than the
assurance that we are living up to the
purpose for which God created us. In
evil-doing there is no satisfaction, for
the memory of sin pursues every life like
a specter.
But the greatest compensation for
righteousness is expressed in the words,
"They shall see God" In the changing
vicissitudes of life it is a comforting
thought to the sorrow-laden and op-
pressed that if their life has been pure
and shaped after the divine likeness,
they shall enjoy the pleasures of an ex-
istence in the divine presence when this
life shall have ebbed away.

AN APPEAL TO AMBITION
Rev. David Walk at the Church of
Christ

David Walk yesterday in the Church
of Christ, read Matt. iv: SO, and an
nounced for his subject, can Appeal to
Ambition" The three temptations of
our Lord cover the whole ground. APP
petite pride, ambition, with their COR
responding allurements; doubt, pre-
sumption, infidelity, represent tempta-
tion in every phase and in every form.
These are the germinal seeds whose
fruitage is death. The principle in
volved is stated succinctly by him who
stood nearest to the heart of Christ:
For all that is in the world, the lust of
the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the
vainglory of life, is not of the Father,
but is of the world" And this shows
how Christ has been in all points tempt
ed like as we are, yet without sin.
In this last great onset, Satan makes
no reference to the divine sonship. The
fact is accepted. There is one possible
chance remaining. The Jewish expect
alton was for Messiah who should have
universally dominated, and there We're
two ways by which the conquest of all
nations could be accomplished; either
by the exercise of His power, or by suf-
fering and the cross. Between these
Christ must make choice.
The nation was looking for prince
who should re-establish the throne of
David, break the CALLING yoke of the
Roman oppressor and extend His reign
over all the earth; and had Jesus yield
ed to this temptation, He would have eX
actly met the expectations of the peo
pie. A more subtle appeal, or one more
difficult to resist, is inconceivable. But
He was able to resist the dazzling prize.
He had come to save life, not to de-
stroy.
The temptation was met, as were
others, by recourse to the word of God.
He has set us the example. 1t is not
likely that we shall be tempted with
crowns, but still we are in danger. If
we imagine that in any of the concerns
of life, great or small, we can improve
upon Gods way, We may be sure that
the tempter is at hand. Power, influ
ence, social position, all these will l
give if you will fall down and worship
me. We are slow to believe that the
cross and the grave point the only road
to triumph. but consider how infinitely
greater is the empire of Jesus today than
that offered Him by Satan.
