is because in vegetab bles you eat 10

you eat great deal of tiredness, and
that is why the meat eater after a

with his meat a great quantity of uric

THE SUNDAY SCHOOL.
Many Things of Which It's Grndu-

The failure of the Sunday school as

thorough knowledge OF the Bible is
great. \ teacher in n city high school
asked an advanced class of 40 or 80 pu
pills, who had been drilled for years in
the international Sunday School Les
sons, bow 10 proceed in order to reach
Palestine. and not one could give the
desired information. Then she asked
the class in what part of the world
Palestine is located, and no one knew.
That is n very good specimen of Sun
day school teaching and can be paral-
lelcd anywhere by those who will take
the trouble To ask a few questions. The
ignorance OF the Bible on the part OF
most persons of average intelligence is
something amazing. The simplest
questions will elicit no answer on the
part of most such persons.
That educated persons know some
thing about the Bible may be assumed.
but not unless the training goes much
beyond the standard of the common
school Again and again it has trans
