Preventative Measures.

First. Prevent the tubercular cases
from entering the country as citizens,
or prospective citizens.
Yet this should not exclude those who
seek climate change to be cured and

Second. After case has been re-
ported to the Board of Health it should
be treated as follows:
All cases of tuberculosis of an infec'
l'tious or contagious type, should be
compelled, by law, to reside in a well
equipped, carefully governed sanitarium
| until pronounced cured.
| 1t need not necessarily be a govern
ment institution, so long as it followed
| strictly ethical lines and was under
| general supervision or inspection of a
state board.
For the poor, and it is among our poor
| that tuberculosis works most of its raw

government sanitariums, situated under

for their cure.
Thus placed, they cease to be local

SHORT METER SERMONS.

To defer a right determination is to
make a wrong one.
The acid of envy eats out all happi-
ness from the heart.
You cannot get high moral tone out
of loose muscular wires.
There is no complete understanding
of a duty until it is completed.
The man who borrows trouble is
little better than the one who makes it.
When the wage is the end the work
loses much, but the worker loses more.
When we confess to our own faults
usually we are thinking of our neigh
boris.
Every man may have a right to his
own crouch, but he has duty to keep
it to himself.
1t makes all the difference whether
you want to be known as good or want
to know the good.
1t is possible to take the right way
in life and yet to take life in such a
way as to lead others wrong.
It is strange that when some folks
talk about lifting up their hearts they
are sure to pull down their faces.

THE FATHERS CARE.

ny ANOR- hSuIy r. COpe.
Like as father pitieth his children
SO the LORD pitieth them that fear him.
Psalm CHI, IS.
Formal creeds have little to say of
the belief in the overruling care of the
All Father Perhaps the belief is so
nearly universal as to be without the
range Of debate 50 dear to creed max
ers. Yet at all times, in all lands, man,
whether the savage, the oriental mystic,
or the cool headed Christian, in various
ways and with different phrases, has
recognized the hand that, from behind
the scenes, touched his affairs and
often seemed to order his life. Wheth-
er it be the hand Of force or of friend,
the fact has been felt
True, the LATEST man is apt to have
the readiest sense Of the intention of
Providence to care for him, to send him
bread well buttered; the foolish and
thoughtless depend on heaven to do
their thinking, and many court bank
ruptcy while praying for soIveney. But
the improvidence Of man does not dis
prove the providence of God. So far
from encouraging sloth and reckless
ness this truth provokes to progress by
the assurance Of the cooperation of in
finite powers with our best endeavors.
1t is a thought we cannot escape; the
all wise must be the all loving. The
spirit at the center Of all must en-
brace all within the circle of his love;
and that love will not lie qufescent,
helpless when its objects are in distress,
in perplexity, or need, when it might
succor, save or suggest the way OF sue
cess. If there is a heart of love there
is a hand Of help.
Yet it seems too great a thought
What are we but dust on the wheels
of the universe? Often do our faint
ing hearts question whether there be
any, outside our own little circle, who
care whether we suffer, whether we

DoN'Ts FOR CHURCHMEN.

Don't be stiff-necked. Stiff necks
often support empty heads.
Don't fear suffering, for it is through
tribuIation that you gain your crown
Of glory.
Don't confOund polished manners
with goodness. The devil is the slick
est article in that line.
Don't try to climb to heaven with a
load of hatred in your heart. Where
hatred is love cannot be, and love is
heaven.
Don't wear a long face to indicate
your spirituality. Religion is happi-
ness, and happiness needs no dissem-
bling.
Don't think what you would like to
do for your fellow men, but act. 1t is
deeds that count, for a life without
works is void.
Don't try to work unless you can
put your heart in what you are doing.
The heart is the handspring that turns
the wheels of life's progress.
Don't talk about the mysterious
ways Of Providence when your secret
sins are found out. Confess to men
as you must to God, and try to live
them down.

HYMNS YOU OUGHT TO KNOW
Your Own Work.

II you cannot on the ocean
Sail among the swiftest feet,
Rocking on the highest pillows.
Laughing at the storms you meet.
You can stand among the sailors,
Anchored yet within the bay,
You can lend hand to help them,
As they launch their boat away.
If you are too weak to journey
Up the mountain steep and high,
You can stand within the valley,
While the multitude so by;
You can chant in happy measure,
As they slowly pass along;
Though they may forget the singer,
They will not. forget the song.
If you have not gold and silver
Ever ready to command;
If you cannot toward the needy
Reach an ever open hand,
You can visit the afflicted,
Ger the erring you can weep;
You can be a true disciple
Sitting at the Savior's feet.
If you cannot in the harvest
Garner up the richest sheaf,
Many grain both ripe and golden
Will the careless reapers leave;
Go and CLEAN among the briers,
Growing rank against the wall,
For it may be that the shadow
Hides the heaviest wheat of all.

fairs Of life that passes like the boar
frost before the morning sun can even

and have our being?
Despite all questionings men will ever

seek a heart that feels, and look for
hands reached out in hours of neces-
sity. Experience indorses their faith.
Nearly all can look back and see where
destiny has seemed to breathe upon
them; their old plans wilted, and new
ones, new ways sprung up, bearing 9th
er and fairer flowers than they had
ever dreamed; a mighty, mysterious
power had interviewed.

but puppets in these strange unseen

ing after that which far transcends all

Surely thou art our father That

From the source of all life, humanity
has learned the great lessons of family
care and provision. All that is good in
our families is true of this great family
of all mankind. The great purpose Of
this family, as of all families, is the de-
velOpment of the highest, fullest life in
its members. FatherhOOd regards the
provision of food, clothing and shelter
of training the children.
This is the purpose of the father of
US all, the develop the best in us. When
our weak hearts cry for ease, for rest,
for pleasures, he sends the task, the
sorrow, the loss. When we think all
Iife's lessons we'll learned he sends us
up to higher grades with harder tasks.
Yet ever over all is the plying, compass
sionate warnings of a fathers heart
that never forgets the weakness of the
child
Wisely the fathers love seems to hide
its working. Like all things deep and
sublime, it passes comprehension; it
may often seem like Indifference. All
the child can do is to bend every effort
to do his best, to work out the fathers
plan 50 far as he knows it, to know,
through all, that God is good. Then,
when the child grows to the man, the
man toward the divine, the things that
seemed strange are made plain in the
light of the fathers face.
