God so arranged 1t that the greatest

Don't Nurse Wrath.
Again, we ought not to let the sun
go down on our wrath, because we will
sleep better IL we are at peace with
everybody. Insomnia Is getting to be
one of the most prevalent Of disorders.
How few people retire at 10 o'clock at
night and sleep clear through to 8 in
the morningl To relieve this disorder
all narcotics and sedatives and NOR
phine and chloral and bromide OF potas-
stun and cocaine and intoxicants are
used, but nothing is more important
than quiet spirit IL we would win
somnolence. How Is a man going to
sleep when he is In mind pursuing an
enemy? With what nervous twitch
he will start out Of dreaml That
new plan Of cornerlng his foe will keep
him wide awake while the clock strikes

prescription for wakefulness: Spend
the evening hours rehearsing your
wrongs and the best way of avenging
them. Hold convention of friends on
this subject In your parlor or office at
8 or 8 o'clock. Close the evening by
writing bitter letter expressing your
sentiments. Take from the desk or
pIgeonhole the papers in the case to re-
fresh your mind with your enemy's
meanness. Then lie down and wait
for the coming of the day, and II will

back. frightful nightmare.
Why not put a bound to your ami
mostly? Why let your foes come into
the sanctities of your dormitory? Why
let those slanderers who have already
torn your reputation to pieces or In
1ured your business bend over your
midnight pillow and drive from you
one of the greatest blessings that God
can offer-sweet. refreshing, all In
vigorating sleep? Why not fence out
your enemies by the.golden bars Of the
sunset2 Why not stand behind the
barricade OF evening cloud and say to
them, "Thus far and 70 farther"
Many a man and many a woman Is
having the health of body as well as
the health of soul eaten away by
malevolent spirit. have in time Of
religious awakening had persons night

Forgive Your Enemies.
A boy in Sparta having stolen fox
kept him under his coat, and, though
the fox was gnawing his vitals. he sub
mitted to It rather than expose his
misdeed. Many a man with smiling
face has under his jacket an animosity
that is gnawing away the strength Of
his body and the integrity OF his soul
Better get rid of that hidden fox as
soon as possible. There are hundreds
of domestic circles where that which
most is needed is the spirit OF forgive
ness. Brothers apart, and sisters apart
and parents and children apart. Solo
mon says brother offended is harder
to be won than strong city. Are
there not enough sacred memories OF
your childhood to bring you togetherf
The rabbins recount how that Neb-
uchadnexzar's son had such a spite
against his father that after he was
dead be had his father burned TO ashes
and then put the ashes into four sacks
and tied them to four eagles necks
which few away in opposite directions.
And there are now domestic antipa-
thies that seem forever to have scat
tered all parental memories to the four
winds of heaven. How far the eagles
fly with those sacred ashesl The hour
of sundown makes to that family no
practical suggestion. Thomas Carlyle,
