Again, / remark that practical re-
llgion Is friend OF longevity IN the fact
mat II rs protest against disSipauons,
which lnJure and destroy the health.

Ihey do not get Old Lord Byron died
at Missolonghi at a6 years of age, him
self his own Mazeppa, his unbridIed
passions the horse that dashed him
into the desert Edgar A. Poe died at
Baltimore at IS years oiaEe. The black
raven that alighted on the bust above
his door was delirium tremens-
Only this and nothing more.
Napoleon bonaparte lived only Just be
yond midlife, then died At st. Helena,
and one OF ms doctors SAID mat his DIS
ease was induced by excessive Shnihng'
The hero of Austerlttz, the man who
by one step OF his loot IN the center q
Europe shook the earth killed by a
snutfboN! How many people we have
known who have not lived out half their
days because OF lheir uiss. PullonS anu
indulgences! Now, practical religion
is protest against all dlssipauons OF
any kind.
But You say, professors OF feIlglon
have fallen, professors OF religion nave
got drunk, professors OF religion nave
Incorporated trust funds professors
of religion have absconded,' Yes, but
they threw away their religion before
they did their morality. 1t man on
| White Star line steamer, bound 1cl
Liverpool, in mid-Atantie jumps over
board and is drowned, is that anything
against the White Star lines capacity
to take the man across the ocean! An'
if a man jumps over the gunwaIe OF HI
religion and goes down never to rise
is that any reason for your belleyhi!
that religion has no capacity to tax
the man clear through? In the on
case, if he had kept to the steamer
his body would have been saved i
the other case, if ne had kept 10 ms re
Iigion, his morals would nave pee
saved.
There are aged people who woul
have been dead 25 years ago but for tn
defenses and the equipoise of religion
You have no more natural reslstahe
than hundreds of people who lie !
the cemeteries to-day slain by their oW
vices. The doctors made their case a
kind and pleasant as they could and
was called congestion Of the BRAN {
something else but the snakes and IN
blueaies that seemed to crawl over II
pillow in the sight of the delirious p
tent showed what was the matter wit
him. You, the aged Christian ma
walked along by that unhappy one u
til YOU came to the golden pillar OF
Christian life. You went to the RICH
he went to the left. That is all II
difference between you. If this re
zion is a protest against all forms
dissipation, then it is an lIluslrlo'
friend of longevity. "With long Il
