Jewellers" are in the bushes along the
pathway of every successful man and
woman, and they bag the majority.
Only now and then can a man stand
out against these Jewellers" and hold
his fortune, fame and health to the
end. =
So the Creator has use for Whisky,
Tobacco and Coffee to level down the
successful ones and those who show
signs of being successful, and keep
them back in the race, so that the
great field" (the masses) may not be
left too. far behind.
And yet we must admit that same
all-wise Creator has placed it in the
power of man to stand upright, clothed
in the armor of clean-cut, steady
mind, and say unto himself, II decline
to exchange my birthright for a mess
Of pottage.
II will not deaden my senses, weak
en- my grip on affairs and keep my
self cheap, common and behind in for
tune and fame by dragging with whis-

short. 1t is hard enough to win the
good things without any sort of handi-
cap, so a man is certainly fool trad

money and the good things that come
with power for the half-asleep condi-

ty of sickness and disease ahead"
1t is a matter each Individual must
decide for himself He can be lead

go along through life drugged clown,
a cheap 'hewer of wood or carrier of
water"
Certain it is that while the Great
Father of us all does not seem to
mind" if some of his children are
foolish and stupid, he seems to select
others (perhaps those he intends, for
some special work) and allows them
to be threshed and castigated most
fearfully by these Jewelers."
If a man tries flirting with these lev
elers a while, and gets few slaps as
a hint, he had better take the hint, or
good solid blow will follow.
When a man tries to live upright,
clean, thrifty, sober and undrugged,
manifesting as near as he knows what
the Creator intends he should, happi-
ness, health and peace seem to come
to him. Does it pay?
