Lesson Thoughts.
The end depends much upon the

upcn the direction taken; we cannot
reach Boston by gazing West. No

This Is the scasctl for turning over
q new leaf" If the old one was soiled
with mistakes and blotted with sins
sil the more reason why new, clean
start should be made.
Racers strip themselves OF every
unnecessary weight that would i'm
pede their progress; so he who

must put off the old man, and be re.
newed in the spirit of his mind.

a Novel Method.

The latest and ono OF the most move
methods OF promoting the cause OF TEN,
perancc is that OF impressing the effects OF
alcohol upon the public by means OF adj
vertisements. This peculiar device origin
ated in Paris, France. and has proved very
liauor in that city. Scientific facts, stats.
ties. cartoons. caricatures, all are used and
the Parisian is reached at every turn. from
every ground of appeal. The billboards
shout the results of alcohol at him; the
ears and buses present brilliant arguments
for temperance IN word and picture; he Is
enticed into reading some thrilling incident
in his morning paper and finds that it ends
with forcible temperance application;
The Frenchman has been reached. and
France has scored a point in the battle
against the ravages OF alcohol.

When mans interests and. affections
are scattered over the whole wide field
of humanity, he does not often count for
much in practical social service. Dilution
counts against efficiency. IL is easy to be
in theory a lover of humanity, after the
order OF the Pecksniffs of the earth, and
to he unkind and unloving toward our i'm
mediate neighbors. Therefore, according
to the Congregationalist, the law of God
does not say, Thou shalt be a lover of
mankind, but rather, Thou shalt love thy
neighbor as thyself. Its grip is specially

A VIII Power.

1t is the written law of God that man

law holds in every relation in life, as We
deal with men so will men deal with us.
Every action in life has its measured con

all occasions. A man is not entirely sub

A Message to Dyspeptics.

Why are we dyspeptic? The
predisposing causes from the ole
school are: LIST, improper hygiene;
End, malnutrition; 3rd, various
anemias; 4th, equity and rheu-
matte subjects; 9th, tuberculous,
cancerous and malarial dyscro-
siae; 6, hyperemia of stomach
7th, sickly and delicate children,
convalescents from acute diseases
and inervated chronic invalids.
The excitants are: LIST, dietetic,
End, certain drugs, as the salicy-
lates, iodides, bromides, arsenic
and mercury; 3rd, acute infectious
fevers; 4th, infleuce of cold
(probable); 5 mycotie.
Cause from the Osteopathic
view: A disturbance in the anat-
omical structures of the spine
serves to overthrow the balance
of the nervous system in such a
way that the stomach and intes-
tines are robbed of their normal
nervous energy; at the same time
thereis a deprivation of blood in
those organs, (stomach and in
testines).
With both the blood supply
and physiological control of these
organs thus abridged, the way is
open to every sort of defective
functioning-which means dis
ease.
Osteopaths view the anatomy
of the neck for obstruction of
nervous transmissions through
the right and left pneumagastric
nerves, and the spinal connection
through the sympathetic organs,
removing any obstruction of
whatever nature, thereby supply
ing the organs with their normal
nervous energy and blood supply
from which health will issue, if
only the excitants as claimed by
the old school be withheld, es-
