Formal invitation.

Washington, April 20--A formal in
vitation 10 Secretary Taft to visit
Japan will be extended If the secre-
tary will but say that he will be graf
iiied by the receipt of such an invita-
ton. A secretary of the Japanese le-
CATION visited Mr.. Taft during the
afternoon to urge him to say that he
would be pleased to receive such an
invitation. The inclination of the Sec
retary is to refuse official attention OF
any kind when he stops at japanese
ports during his progress to and from
the Philippines, at which time the
Japanese government had hoped to en-,
tertain him officially as a mark oi

The question is often asked how
one treatment can be goad for every
thing. Is not pure air and pare water
beneficial to the system? If SO, will
it not benefit every organ of the sys-
tenn to purify the blood, and elimi-
nate the large amount of poison that
collects in the system? Is not regulat-
ing the bowels beneficial to the entire
system, and absolutely necessary to
the proper condition of health? If so,
why should it not be just as necessary
to open up the seven million pores in
the skin, which is the sewerage of the
entire system, letting off the deadly
poison which thousands of people are
carrying about in their bodies perfect
ignorant of their condition. You can
easily see this process of renovation
can not help but benefit every part OF
the human machinery.

p The reason for judgment day lies In the
fact that this universe is built on righteous
lines, and sooner or later the man who
seeks to trifle with the right is made to re-
alize that he is in helpless revolt against
inevitable law. Things are not left at loose
ends in this universe. Sin breeds troubles
of many kinds. 1t has to be expfated some
how, somewhere, sometime.
There is a picture on the front of Ia

good, sending to the left those who had
done wrong and waving to a place on his

and true character for which are to be seen
in this, that they bring us nearer to Christ
and make us more like Him. Many think
of Christ as a being TO be admired, reyer-
enced and worshiped, but not to be APP
preached. loved and initiated. They have
some vague conceptions of a glory in His
character which make it presumption to
think of him as a model. Many feel that "a
close conformity to Him is not to be ex-
pected-that this. like a great many other
topics, may serve for defamation from the
pulpit, but can never be reduced to practice.
This is a most pernicious error. Until men
come TO look upon the life of Christ as truly
applicable. to theirs-as intended to be
brought into continual operation to deter
mine what they are TO incorporate into their
spiritual nature-they will make little prog
ress.
These men think they honor Christ when
they place him high to discourage all
efforts at imitation. They really degrade
Him. They do not understand His charac-
ter. They throw glare over it which hides
its true features. This vague admiration is
the poorest tribute they can pay Him. How
ever great and grand the character of
Christ, it is not beyond our sympathy and
imitation. Real greatness of character,
character of the highest order. far from
being overpowering, is singularly attractive.

but fits him to be their friend and model.
