The Tired Mans PRAYER.

Cincinnati, o., June 19, 1904.-The
following is portion of sermon de-
livered at the Vine Street Congrega-
tional church by the pastor, Herbert
is. Bigelow:
"Oh, that | had wings like a dove,
for then would 1 fly away and be at
rest. Psalms. $685.
So long as the world remains what
lit is, life, for men of conscience and
sympathy, must be serious business.
1t is pleasant to lie on the shore,
watch the stately sails and dream of
grooming argosies and distant lands.
But the sailor has truer view. of life
who knows the sickening mOnOtony
of the beating sun and the breathless
sea, or who has heard the straining of
the timbers, and has seen the waters
open like grave before the founder
ing ship.
The housekeeper, harried by thou
sand cares; the factory worker, dis
tracted by the ceaseless din; the bust

countless thousands, goaded by daily
needs to relentless toll behold the dis
tant hills from their prison houses and
cry in their hearts, "Oh, that had
wings like dove, for then would |
fly away and be at rest.
Last Sunday night young man
came to me who until two weeks ago
had been employed in Cincinnati
factory. He was one OF many who
had been laid off because of sagging
trade conditions. Every day for two
weeks he had looked for work. While
he could keep himself neat and clean
he had hope But his last penny was
gone and there was nothing with
which to pay for clean linen or baths,
food or shelter. do you think" said
he, that 1t would be wrong for me
to take my life?"
He stood at the parting of the ways.
One road led to crime. The other led
to beggary. Which should he take
But wait! There was yet another
road: the road of self-destruction.
Might he not take that to save him
self from the other two.
The battle was going against this
young man. His desperation had half
crazed him. He had come to under

Daring the past few years. notably since

he is ready to sacrifice the public good to
his business interests aud is, to say the
least, unworthy of the patronage OF the
people. Several years ago. young man
was brough, home from the mines suffering
with very MUD attack Of typhoid fever.

II typhoid. but some neighbors came In
aud some Smart Aiecks. who said Il was no,
typhoid, told the patient to get up IL he
wanted to; cat solid food II he wanted TO.
Patient did 50. contrary TO physacian's strict
orders. Consequence. patient had hemor-

THE FRESH AIR CURE.

MERipEN, Conn, Jan. rs.--With
the mercury so degrees below zero,
Mrs. George A. Allwor,h and Miss
Alice l.. Flint slept all last night in
the open air on the veranda OF their
home here.
Miss Flint is the daughter of
George +. Flint, silver mill fore
man. Mrs. Allworth and she are
consumptives.
Last July their cases were declar-
ed hopeless. As last resort
physician advised sleeping in the
open air. They have no, slept a
night indoors since. Throughout
the winter they have established
their bed on an upper veranda
promptly at 9 p. NJ. Their bed
clothing has consisted of one blan-
ket and one comfortable. In case
of rain or snow rubber covering
is used. Last night an extra blanket
was added. So Injured have they
become 20 the rigors of winter that
this morning they reported they had
not been cold throughout the night.
Their physician says both women
have lost nearly all trace of tuber-
culosis, and that three months more
OF heroic treatment will cure them.
The complexion ofboth has become
a ruddy brown from exposure, and
indoors they complain Of the heat If
the temperature of the house is over
SO degrees. Miss Flint has gained
twenty-five pounds in weight, and
both have hearty appetites.
