ropic For the Week beginning July
o, ga Good Vacation" = Text,
Mark vi, 7-12-13-3O-32.

"Come ye yourselves apart into a
desert place and rest awhile. /"
It is an old saying that "the devil
never takes a vacation. This is some
times quoted against pastors and other
Christian workers who do take an occa-
sional rest. 1t has no pertinence in
this connection We are not to take our
orders from him nor to initiate his ex-
ample. Our Master in His earthly life
did rest, and told His apostles to do So
We are not wrong in following His ex-
ample No labor is SO exhausting to
nerve force as work of mind and soul
in caring for mems spiritual needs. The
manual laborer tires muscles; food and
sleep repair the waste. The manager Of
affairs of business has a heavier task
and more exhausting service in brain
care and nervous strain. He needs re-
Taxation from thought problems. Sleep
and exercise and change of scene be-
come necessary. But he who carries
sorrows of heart, burdens of mems sins,
anxieties Of soul for the eternal well
being of his fellows taxes all powers of
body, mind and spirit. He needs to
escape from the sight of men to the
hills and woods and sea. He needs to
replace the babel of voices with the
songs of birds, the murmur of breezes
ID the tfee tops and thunder of surges
on the sand. Here God speaks to him,
and angels strengthen him for renewed
service. Moses talked with God in the
wilderness. He left the crowded camp
and in the mountain top saw visions of
the heavenly sanctuary which he copied
for earthly service. He there learned
laws which have nodded the legislation
of all later ages. Elijah in the same
mountain height received messages from
God and went back among men to
anoint a prophet and two kings who
should change the fate Of nations.
Jesus in the mountain mapped the
whole Of His life course and overcame
the power of the tempter. He often
sought rest and recovery Of strength in
solitary communings by day and by
night in the wilderness with Him who
is the source of all strength.
But it is a great mistake to use va
cation just for pleasure. Mere enjoy
ment is unworthy the seeking of any
one. Nor has person the right to va
cation who has not earned it by hard
toll or found the need Of it in some sick
ness or infrmity. As digestion waits on
appetite, so does benefit in vacation de-
pend on the sense of need. These rest
ing times should be SO used as not to
tax the powers already tried, but to
bring to them recuperation and new
vigor. Summer schools and exhausting
travel may be serious mistakes in ones
experience. Idleness is not always best,
but change of surroundings and occupa-
tion and opening Of new fields of
thought and experience are valuable.
Let the city worker seek the country.
The country toiler may well visit the
city and find new life and energy and
uplift for his part in the work of the
world. Whoever we are, and wherever
we go, we should always get closer to
God.

In the Wrong Place.

1t is sometimes sickening to see the
kind of men who succeed in winning
popular applause. 1t is sometimes dis
couraging to note the men who fail;
but, after all, in the long run, the un-
worthy succeed only with the unworthy,
and the fitting fail to survive only
when they are in the wrong place

A POWERFUL SNEEZE.
Passenger on n Pennsylvania Rail-

New York, Feb. 1.-Dislocation OF a
shoulder, due to sneezing. was the novel
case that was treated on board train late
Monday night by DR.. Herman c. II. Her
old, president of the Newark board OF
health The doctor was with DR.. David
L. Wallace, returning from session of
the New Jersey Legislature by the Penn
sylvania Railroad.
New Brunswick had been passed when
a well-dressed young man on the same
car sneezed most violently. The sneeze
was followed by a howl of pain. The
passengers crowded around the young man
to find out what was the matter.
please see if there is a surgeon on the
train" said the sufferer Il have dislo-
Gated my right shoulder by sneezing-"
Drs Herold and Wallace were sum-
moned. They thought at first joke was
being played on them, but soon were con-
vinced that the young man had told the
truth 1t took little examination to con-
vince the doctors that the dislocation was
serious one. The patient was carried to
the baggage car, where the doctors started
to replace the dislocated arm.
1t was necessary to give the sufferer
whisky and hypodermic injection of
morphine to relieve his pain. Nearly half
an hour was spent in hard work before
the bone was snapped back to its normal
position.
BY the time the train reached Newark
the patient had sufficiently recovered to
continue to his home. which, he said, was
in Jersey City. The Newarkers neglected
to learn the name of the strangely -affiict-
ed young man.

There is often foul taste in the mouth,

stomach could be seen il would show
Shiny intiamed condition.
The cure of this common and obstinate
trouble is found in a treatment which
causes the food to be readily, thoroughly
digested before il has time to ferment and
irritate the delicate mucous surfaces of the
stomach. To secure prompt and healthy
digestion is the one necessary thing to do
and when normal digestion is secured the
catarrhal condition will haves disappeared.
According to DR.. Harlanson the safest
and. best treatment is to use after each
meal tablet, composed of Diatase, Aseptic
Pepsin, a little Nux Golden Seal and fruit
acids. These tablets can now be found at
all drug stores under the name of Stuarts

THE ANT1-RITuALIsM FEVER.
Sentiment That May Disrupt the
English Tory Government.

London, Feb. 1.-The mass meeting of
1000 Protestants at Albert Hall last even
ing was one of the most remarkable out
bursts ever known here. The streets in
the vicinity of the hall were jammed with
people unable to obtain admittance to the
meeting, but ready to wait and cheer the
Protestant leaders when they left the hall.
Their enthusiasm was fed by pamphlets
denouncing ritualism, which were scatter
ed broadcast through the crowd.
One of the most noticeable features of
the meeting was the pressure of the thou
sands of Non -Conformists, who are mainly
Liberals in politics.
This meeting, taken in conjunction with
the Protestant deputation which called on
Mr.. Arthur Balfour yesterday at Manches-
