reasons for this. Any kind of crying,
whether quiet weeping or the violent
paroxysm which convulses the whole
body, lessons the blood pressure in the
brain. The tension of the nervous sys-
is violent, nearly every muscle in the
body contracts, with the same good
effects as are produced by brisk walk.
When one can't cry, the next best
thing is to laugh. There is no tonic
medicine in the whole catalogue of
drugs equal to good hearty laugh.
A distinguished authority says, the
man who makes us laugh is a public
benefactor. Laughing causes us to
breathe deeply, and to fill the lungs
with pure air. It also makes the
lymph flow out Of the muscles, and
thus serves the same purpose as mas
sage. The only people who should
not laugh are those far advanced in
heart disease.
The benefits of singing are we'll
known. 1t develops the lungs, and
strengthens the heart. Teachers of
singing claim that many pupils who
come to them with lung diseases are
completely cured after a few months.
OF course, a great deal depends on
the kind of music chosen. To be
really stimulating a song must be Of
a bright and happy type. Preaching
or reading aloud is similar.
Not everyone can. preach and sing.
But it is open to all to talk and to
read aloud, and these latter are al
most as good as the former. Ami
mated conversation, with plenty Of
gesture, is wonderful stimulant.

serts that talking prolongs life. Per-
haps this accounts for the fact that

CHE CHILDREN
1T IS NATURES WAY.

Ii 10 NAL . WAY.
Laughing, crying, shouting and, even
singing, seem extremely ridiculous
performances when you sit down and
quietly ponder them. But physiology
cal investigators have found out that
they are as useful as they are absurd
The man of culture will rarely laugh,
will never shout, and will take every
precaution to prevent his children
from crying. This is quite a mistake,
and has to be paid for in reduced
health. Nature did not give US the
strong instinct we possess to make
these curious noises without reason.
Crying, for instance, expands the
lungs, circulates the blood, relieves
nerve strain, and lessons the sensation
of pain. A child who cries Justify is
sure to grow up stronger in lungs and
heart than one who is always quiet. A
great English authority on ehildrens
health-Dr. Rosbach-says that MANY
diseases of later life, such as anaenia.
consumption and contracted chest
arise from soothing children when they
are crying.
OF course, if the child is suffering
severe pain it should be relieved; and
in all cases the crying should not be
allowed to go too far. But it is better
to let child cry itself to sleep than to
rock it in a cradle or march around the
room with it. If any reader happens to
be one of those unfortunate fathers
who has to perform the latter duty, let
him take Dr. Rosbach's hint. The child
will sleep more soundly and awake
fresher in the morning.
Even grown-up people derive benefit
from a fit of crying. Women who can
cry easily and often keep young in
their appearance much longer than
those who cannot. There are several

HEARTY LAUGHTER is HELPFUL. ,

I1EAfIIY AAUGHTER IS HELPFUL
When the system is nerved and
IS making conscious or uncon-
sc1ous effort, the nerves that tight
en- the walls of the blood vessels are
hard at work, and pressure in the ar
terles is great; but hearty laugh, at
Brucke's interesting experiments show,
tends to bring the blood over into the
veins where there is no pressure, re-
heves the arteries and brings the ex-
qu1s1te sensations of relaxation of rest.
This is favored even by the attitude
OF hearty laugh. To draw in a full

FREEDOM FOR SERVICE.
The Christian Endeavor tonic
FREEDOM FOR SERVICE.

The Christian Endeavor topic for
Aug. "a is found in II. Timothy, it,, 4;
Galatians, ", l; Hebrews, xii, 1-2 To
be good soldier of Jesus Christ we
must have freedom for service.
We must be free from affairs of this
life. There is nothing that so much
1nterfereS with active Christian sery-
Ice as unnecessary association with the
things of this world. A spirit of
Worldliness brushes out a spirit of con-
secration and service. Unnecessary
worries about the cares and the bust
ness pursuits of life deprive us of the
power to serve God as we ought to
serve Him.
We should be free from false con-
ceptions of the law. Stand fast, there
fore, in the liberties wherewith Christ
hath made us free and be not entangled
again with the yoke of bondage" The
yoke Of bondage here referred to was
the bondage Of the law. It was the
conception Of the ancient people of
God that they were to be saved by the
observance of the law. The result was
that they became slaves to the law.
The lives of many Christian people
nave been made miserable and they
have been made incompetent for serv-
ice by a false attitude toward the law
The early religious experiences of Mar
tin Luther were of such a character.
d
severe judge ready to punish and to
destroy him for the breaking of His
law. He had no idea of God as a kind
and loving Father or a realization of
the fact that Christ had kept the law
for him and had paid the penalty for
it on the cross. The result was that
his life was miserable and he was I'M
fitted for the best and truest service 1t
was only when he stood in the light
from the throne and he lived in the
liberty Wherewith Christ made him free
that he was enabled to perform great
service to God.
What tempts one man may have no
temptation for another. In each one of
our lives are besetting sins or sins that
easily entwine themselves about u.s.
The apostle here likens the form of
such sins to the flowing robe d: the
Grecian athlete. We can easily under
stand how the runner would be hinder
ed in the race If he had about him
the loose, flowing garment Of the
Greek. 1t would wrap itself so close
ly about him as to hinder his every
movement. Such is the result of be-
setting sins in the life of service. If
they are allowed to have power and in
fuence with us, they hinder us and
destroy our powers for effective serv-
ice.
