Your body is not your own because

Those that are careless of their
health are careless Of their character
and of their work, which so largely
depend upon their health.
Health depends upon proper food.
sleep. exercise, and thinking; and the
last is the chief.
One is not responsible for being per.
fectly healthy. but for being as healthy
as one can be.
Upon your health depends not your
health only but also the health oe
others.

Unselfish for the Sake Of Christ

OHSel1sn TOT tne sake OF Christ
John 21:15.22; II. Cor. 5:11-1e.
Unselfishness-that is the goal
Christ's love inspiring our love is the
compelling motive for its attainment
1t is worth our while to get rid Of
selishness at any cost. We may by
the power of the love of Christ. We
must If We are to be like Him.
Selfishness is the poison of life.
Loyalty withers under it, friendship
cannot survive it. Religion chokes
while its professor is taking care of
number one" And selfishness is the
biggest force in the average natural
life. One motive, only one, is com.
petent for its overthrow. For Jesus
sake" is motive large enough, pure
enough, and lasting enough to drive
all selfishness out of our hearts,
homes, churches and communities.
This motive lasts when smaller mo-
tves fail. Admiration for Christ Is
not enough. Reverence is not enough.
Mere amiableness ana good nature
wither before the hot tests of life.
Only Christs love inspiring our love
Will carry us into the unselfish life.
Witness the missionaries. martyrs,
and reformers.
Unselfishness condition usefulness.
Petritied wood is estimated TO be sew

A college education is not required

Potato Croauettes.

A delicious way of serving pota-
toes is the following: Boil and mash
twelve medium-sized white potatoes,
using one tablespoonful of butter in
stead of milk. When they are nearly
cold add beaten yolks of three eggs,
one teaspoonful of chopped parsley,
one-quarter teaspoonful of grated
nutmeg and six drops of onion juice.
Stir these ingredients together until
they are smooth. Make up into small
cone-shaped croquettes and stand
roll them in the beaten whites of the
eggs and cracker dust and fry in
deep boiling lard until light brown.
This will make twenty-five cro-
quettes.-New York Times.

Some Wonderful Two.Letter Word

Some Wonderful Two-Letter Words.
Dol Co! Be- No!
Only four, and such wee words
that they are apt to be entirely over
looked or swallowed up by the larger
ones. Yet these tiny words may
mean everything in life and charac-
ter to him who lives them.
Dol What a call to service the
little word is. How insistingly 1t
rings out its message, how imperious
are its demands!
Dol Do what? God tells us, "I
will teach you what ye shall do"
Then let us listen to the great
Teacher:
"Ye shall do My judgments, and
keep Mine ordinances" We are to
keep the commandments-w for?
To do them. David prayed a wise
prayer: Teach me to do Thy will"
"Whosoever shall do the will of My
Father which is in Heaven" said
Christ. would be as near Him spiritu-
ally, or as dear to Him affectionately
as brother, sister or mother.
He described one class of people as
those who hear the Word of God
and do it. If ye know these things,
happy are ye If ye do them" To do
in your dictionary?
Col What a fine marching word
Go" is. The racers are ready, with
muscles tense and nerves strained,
when "Go!" shouts the starter and
they're Off
God intended us to have this little
word in our list and in our life, and
He gave directions to His disciples:
Go ye into all the world, and preach
the Gospel" and the marching order
of the Son of God has never been
countermanded.
Be! This is yet another humble
little two-lettered word, but it asks
for hearing. Be a man! Be what
you should be-truthful, upright,
clean, honest. loving. helpful.
To be or not to be sums up life.
Let this mind be in you, which was
also in Christ" and the mind of
Christ will solve the meaning of life.
There is, however, a negative side
to the word There are Just as
many things We are not to be: "Be
not wise in your own conceits," for
your wisdom of that kind will only
make you the laughing stock of your
fellows. BE ye not mockers."
There is no sign of cleverness in that
And once again, III we fulfill the con-
ditions God has laid down for us, His
promises include the same mighty
word: for, II will be with thee and
will bless thee" IT will be a Father
unto you. l will be your God"
No! Last of all comes modest
little NO" Many a boy has laid
the foundations of his first manhood
by the grit to say his first No! and
to so say it that it weighed as much
as six-syllabled word; when to say
it at the right moment meant the
standing to his colors, meant the re-
fusal to do wrong. meant the key
note of his after-life.
1t may be one of the hardest words
in the English language to learn to
use, but it may have vastly much to
do with success in life. A no-less
man may be weak man, a "No" man
may be the very personifcation OF
strength and influence.
Four tiny but mighty words. Let
us repeat them. Do! Go! Be! No!
Let us spell them Do! Go! Bel
N-o!-Frank Weigh, in East and

ANSWERED PRAYERS.

And In the means and groans my heart oft

"wash You; Make You Clean" /"

1t is well for us to make sure that
we always abandon the wrong-doing
which we deplore, that we quit the
evil course which we regret, that we
turn away from the sin which we
confess. good many people get
only half the Gospel. They talk a
great deal about believing, but very
little about repenting. 1t needs to be
remembered that faith which does
not lead to genuine repentance is
not a faith that saves. Repentance
is a chance of heart, a turning of the
face Just the other way.-Scottish
Refcrmer.

The avoidance of little evils, little

at least the negative beauty of holy
life.-Andrew Bonar.
