How to Save Yourself.

In working to save others we do the
most good to ourselves. An English
man who was going to drown himself
found two sovereigns in his pocket
and, thinking it was pity to waste Sc
much. gave them to poor woman who
was starving for bread. When he saw
how happy the pieces made the mother
and her children, he bethought himself
OF how much happiness he could occa-
sion by all the boards Of gold and sill
yer he had in his cellar. He gave ur
the idea of suicide and devoted the rest
OF his life to doing good. BY saving
others he saved himself!

fight which was rather suggested

which the Germans will in many in

selves. One of the representatives
of an American firm said today that
American manufacturers do not fear
the conflict which the Germans will
undoubtedly wage uncompromisingl
for the reason that shoes imported

"The Fountain of Life" and his text
was the ninth verse Of the thirty-sixth
Psalm:
''For with thee is the fountain of

The speaker began by saying that
if he could feel the spiritual pulse OF
every man and woman, the symptom
could be told with one word, and that
word would be thirst Thirstine
for something-they know not what
something intangible-a hunger and
thirsting after God-those who have
learned of Christ. and those who have

glorious fountain Of life, and it be-
comes your duty and mine to seek
that fountain and quench the thirst

SO trite and commonplace that the
speaker said he hesitated to answer.
He said that mans life may be com
pared to a garden That garden has
il. it various and sundry things
grown in past years. The one great
need of this garden is refreshing.
Some feel life burden, and men say
they are tired of life; that they cant
stand it. and will welcome the day
when they may go to an eternal
abode. That mans life needs refresh
ing at the fountain spoken of IN the
text. He sopke of the formallties
saying that our prayers are stigmatiz-

higher than our heads. We look
through a great formality and can not
see anything worth having, We must
get away from the formalities and
set in touch with Cod: there is not
heart which can live without life or
communion with God. 1t needs the
waterings of Gods spiritual blessings
To meet this demand here stands a

is the Savior. Every prayer refreshes
