botomy shortened the life Of whole gener- |
ations, and the lancet that bled for every |
thing is now rarely taken from the doc
tors pocket. Dentistry has given power
of healthy masticati0n to the human race
and thus added greatly to the prOlonga.
ton of life Electric lights have improv-
ed human eight. which used TO be strain
ed by the dim tallow candle. The dire
diseases which under other names did
their fatal work and were considered al
most incurable, now in majority Of cases
are conquered. Vaccination, which has
saved millions of lives and baked the
greatest scourge of nations, and surgery,
which has advanced more than any other
science, have done more than can be told
for the prolongatiOn of human life. The
y ray has turned the human body, which
was Opaque, into a lighted castle. 1t is
easier in this age to renew ones youth
than in any other age. When Paul stop
ped the jailer from suicide by command
ing, DO thyself no HARM" he showed
himself interested in the physical as we'll
as moral life Of man. Among the bless
ings which God promised was that In
which he said "With long life will sat
isfy thee" and David, in my text, illus
trates the possibility of palingenesis or
rejuvenescence.
But the body is the smallest and least
important part Of you. 1t is your soul
that most needs rcjuvenation. but that
will also help bodily yiYification. In or
der to do this. / advise you TO Danish as
far as possible all fretfulness out 81
your life. The doing Of that will make
you ten years younger. know many
good Christian people who are worrying
themselves out in managing the affairs
Of the universe. They have undertaken
too big job. They are trying TO drive
! too long and fiery a team. They have
all the affairs Of church and state on
/ hand, and they fret about this, and fret
about that. and fret about the other
thing. They fear that China will be d.
yided up among the nations and there
! will be an ENHANCEMENT causing wars
such as we have never heard of.5They fear
| that Edward VII will not be MS wise a
| king as his mother was a queen. They
! are appalled, at the accumulated national
debt. They fear society Is going to
| pieces by reason Of immoralities. They
apprehend that America will be over
crowded with foreigners. They say the
newspapers are getting so, bad that this
country is going to be utterly democrat
lied. They are all the time apprehensive
of social and religious and Political ca
lamities and it is telling on their mental
health. depressing their physical health,
and instead of renewing their youth like
the eagles they are initiating the eagle
who would sit in his nest of sticks Lined
l.. IL,
the woes Of the Ornihological world, the
loneliness OF the pelican, the fhhiness Of
the vulturc the crOak of the raven, the
recklessness OF the albatross. Would that
improve things? No. Il would be a
melting process for that eagle which
would never close and it would only get
thinner and more gloomy, and less able
to gain food for its young and less able
to enjoy a landscape as Il appears under
a 20 mile flight on a summer morning
under the blue heavens. r.
The Omniscient King.
do not advise you to.be Indifferent to
these great questions that pertain to
church and state and nations. but not to
fret about them Realize that it is not
an anarchy that has charge of affairs in
this world, but a divine government. At
the head of this universe is a King whose
eye is omniseipnce and whose arm is ON
impotence and whose heart is infinite love
His government is not going to be a fail
ure. He cannot be defeated. Better
trust him in the management of his world
and of all worlds. All you and have t.
, do is to accomplish the work that is put
in our hands. That is all we have to b.
responsible for. In a well managed or
chestra the players upon stringed an(
, wind Instruments do not watch each 9th
or. The curnetist does not look to SCI
how the vipinist is drawing the bow owe
the strings, nor does the flute scrutiniz
the drum. They all watch the baton o
the leader. And we are all carrying on
! part, however insignificant it may be, il
t, the great harmony of this world and 0
the universe which our Lord is leading
and we all have to watch his comman
and do our best and not bother Ourselve
-, about the success or failure of other per
! formers If you want to renew you
Z youth, better stop managing the affair
! of the universe.
