What hurt him most was the action
of his cousin in making constant ref

five Sundays in succession, when he

Cousins husband would taunt him with

so shabby" This cut the old man to
the quick and he determined to leave
the house as soon as he got well. which

THE IDEAL MAN.

Rev. w. II. Stacy, of Lansford. fol-
lowed with the address of the evening
on Snapshots Of the Ideal Man" He
said that back of all senates, law,
commerce, literature and all affairs of
life stands man. Man in an ideal form
represents a we'll constructed and well
formed physical being, and in such
turks no disease. Under this head the
speaker scored drunkenness and other
abuses of the ideal physical frame.
Give me-" he said, "the ideal ply
sical man and 1 can, in ten years, take
the sparkle from his eyes. the steadi-
ness of his gait, the firmness of his
arm, the splendor of his physique and
leave him wreck which no man can
renew" The ideal man represents also
a well developed intellectual being.
This thought was illustrated by refer
ence to invention. literature, science
and in astronomy.
In closing, Rev. Stacy said: 1.-The
moral qualities OF men have done the
most to lift man and to ameliorate his
condition, hence the highest type of
the ideal man then is we'll developed
physically, intellectually and morally,
and as such he will show these quail
ties in the home and business. He
will be courageous, yet humble"
