THE LIVING DEATH.

BY Henry T. Cope.
ITO be carnally minded is death. -
Romans, SO.
Is not the fear of death passing from
us? The dread feeling that dying was
but falling helpless into the hands of
an awful avenger, that 1t might be but
the beginning Of endless torment no
longer Expresses any but those sub
merged in ignorance and grosser ways
of thinking. More than ever men take
the step into the dark in the conf
dence that 1t must be better farther on.
No one however, who Is possessed of
any vital powers finds himself hospita-
BILE to the thought Of giving up the
business of living. Death is undesir-
able, not only because 1t is leaving our
homes and friends, but because it
means being cut OFF from our activities,
our part In the busy world.
Bitterly as we may indict the life,
the fact Is we all enjoy it; even though
1t mean little more than toll and the
buffeting Of fortunes waves and winds,
we keenly enjoy 1t. 1t is this arduous
Joy of living we are loath to lose. No
healthy person ever found much pleas
ure In contemplating a heaven of rest (;
that is the thing we do not want.
But the Joy of living does not consist
merely in restless activity 1t is rather
in the ready response of our inner
selves to the demands Of llfe's struggle
and endeavor; 1t Is quickness Of spirit.
capacity for enjoyment, power to ap-
preciate, and to Smpathi2e. Life's low
in living is this keenness and readi-
ness to answer to every stimulus that
comes to US.
One does not have to wait for the
death Of the body for such fuilness of
living to cease. Many are dead who
stin breathe and seem to be full of
business. They are dead because the
inner life has been paralyzed, because
greed and lust have blunted the sensi.
tive faculties and have stolen the power
to feel and know the things that ia

TENDENCY OF THE TIMES.

BY Rev. DR.. S. H Wainwright.
who among us can dwell with the
devouring fire? He that walketh
righteously and speaketh uprightly; he
that shaketh his hands from taking a
bride, that stoppeth his ears from
hearing of blood, and shutteth his eyes
from looking upon evil; he shall dwell
on high; his place Of defence shall be
the munitions of rocks; his bread shall
be given him; his waters shall be
sure"
"The text asks the most pertinent
and important of all questions What
qualifications are necessary In order
to stand before God? and gives as
the answer morals in the inward and
outward life, and declares security and
blessing of a life possessing these
qualifications. The fires here spoken
Of symbolic the nature and righteous
ness of God. 1t is the duty of the
preacher to speak the truth in love,
but to speak the truth. If wickedness
is a consuming fire, SO Is righteous
ness. The fire OF Righteousness tests,
the fire of wickedness torments. 1t
takes as much birthstone to create a
heaven as it does to make hell. The
homely duties of everyday life, and
moral questions of the most obvious
kind, are the conditions which enables
us to find shelter under Gods pavilion
and joy in his presence. There is
something in everyday morality akin
to God, and which qualities one to feel
at home in the presence of God.
One whose walk is In righteousness,
as a sphere, and whose spoken words
accord with the inner disposition of
his heart and with outward facts, can
stand the test Of the eternal righteous
ness. Crookedness and lying of all
sorts put one out of the divine pres
ence.
Again the prophet declares that
bribery with man cuts one off from
life with God. Railroad legislation,
coal and oil legislation, so called and
class legislation are bribed legislation.
There Is only one motive to guide up
light citizens in voting and honest
statesmen in ruling-the welfare of
the nation and the progress of the
race.
No Christian man can have compile
ity In the frauds and wrongs of com
mercial life. The consuming fire of
eternal righteousness searches out evil
In disguised forms. To 1t, the man
who sells pound Of coffee with chic
DRY mixed in, or pound of butter
with fat mixed In, or bottle of milk
with water mixed in, is a thief. To
debase articles so as to cause men to
suffer in purse is to steal; to adulter-
ate food so as to cause men to suffer
in health is to murder. Scant meas
ures are scant morals. If men use
false balances their buying and sell
Ing is an abomination to the Lord.
Men are becoming calloused, are
drifting away from the high moral
Christian standards in their relations
with one another, and are accepting
through custom political abuses and
practices which formerly were obnox-
ious to responsibility.
All the ancient governments were
with bribery and through
their corruption fell, the heart being
eaten out with fraud. To this end,
the tendency of modern practices, If
not corrected, will bring our own gov

PURE FOOD.


NO Food Commissioner OF Any state
Has Ever Attacked the Absolute
Purity of Grape-Nuts.
Every analysis undertaken SHOWS
this food to be made strictly Of Wheat
and Barley, treated By our processes
to partially transform the starch parts
into a form Of Sugar, and therefora
much easier to digest.
Our claim that 1t is a "Food for
Brain and Nerve Centers" is based
upon the fact that certain parts of
\ heat and Barley (Which we use)
contain Natures brain and nerve
building ingredients, viz, Phosphate
of Potash, and the way we prepare the
food makes it easy to digest and as
simulate
DR. Geo. w. Carey in his book on
"Tho Biochemic System of Medicine"
says:
when the medical profession fully
understands the nature and range Of
the phosphate of potassium, insane
asylums will no longer be needed.
"Tie gray matter of the brain is
controlled entirely by the inorganic
cc.iialt. potassium phosphate.
This salt unites with albumen, and
by the addition of oxygen creates
nerve-fuid, or the gray matter of the
brain
OF course, there is trace of other
salts and other organic matter in
nerve-huid, but potassium phosphate
is TIE chief factor, and has the power
within itself to attract, by its own law
of affinity, all things needed to manu-
facture the elixir of life. Therefore,
when nervous symptoms arise, due to
the fact that the nerve-fluid has been
exhausted from any cause, the phos-
phate OF potassium is the only true
remedy, because nothing else can pos
Silly supply the deficiency.
The Ills arising from too rapidly
consuming the gray matter of tue
brain cannot be overestimated.
Phosphate of Potash is to my mind
the most wonderful curative agent
ever discovered by man, and the bless
ings it has already conferred on the
race are many. But what shall the
harvest be- when physicians every
where fully understand the part this
wonderful salt plays in the processes
OF life? 1t will do as much as can be
done through physiology to make a
Eeaven on earth.
Let the overworked business man
take 1t and so home good-tempered.
let the weary wife, nerves unstrung
rom attending to sick children or en-
;ertaining company take it and note
low quickly the equilibrium will be
restored and calm aud reason ASSERT
er throne. No 'provings' are required
here. We find this potassium salt
LARGELY predominates in nerve-fuid,
and that a deficiency produces we'll
defined symptoms. The beginning
and end of the matter is to supply
the lacking principle, and In molecu-
lar form, exactly as nature furnishes
1t in vegetables, fruits and grain. TO
supply deticiencies-thi is the only
law Of cure"
Please observe that Phosphate of
Potash is not properly of the drug
shop variety, but is best prepared by
Old Mother Nature" and stored in
the grains ready for use by mankind.
