would supply. And the consequence
is that one by one they lose all the
links of connection which tie them
up close with human kind. They get
to living wholly inside themselves.
And especially they always have
to watch against getting interested in
big causes. Thus, for instance, they
carefully avoid mission sermons. If
they once got caught with the mis-
sion idea, there is no telling where it
might lead them.
And that is the way the hardfsts
are produced. They are just the
towards of humanity who are scared
at what it. might cost to live in real
hearty, broad sympathy with their
fellow men.
But the tither isn't frightened; he
has already determined to go to the
limit of his conscientious duty, and
the more he can find out about the
good deeds that are being done in
the world for the sake of the mercy of
Jesus Christ, the better he will be able
to dispense wisely that portion of his
income which is set aside to be thus
dispensed.
Promotes UnseIfiShness.
At the worst, the tither can't be to-
tally selfish, He has built dixie in
his life fully able to turn the biggest
wave of self1shness that ever flowed in
out of the cold seas Of ignorance. One
tenth of him at least is going to be
saved from this debasement.
But the still better and finer thing
in the tither's life is that just be-
cause he is open to study and learn
more and more about his fellow men
and their benevolent impulses, the
generous area in him Is continually
expanding.
And that is the reason why such
proportion of tithers, after they get
along a way with the experience of
the system, want to increase the ratio
and end by making their "tithe" con-
siderably more than a tenth
But come to think of it, maybe it's
not discreet to set that down among
arguments for tithing-this obserya-
ton that the habit grows on one. 1t
might give a new fright to the timid.

The EnIaruinu Vision,

The grandeur of the Christian life
consists in the ever enlarging vision
Of truth which it affords to all true
disciples Of the Master. Jesus Is a
teacher as we'll as a Saviour, and all
who do his will are continually learn
ing new wonders of truth and grace.
1t is blessed thought that they who
follow on to know the Lord shall
know him ever better and better.
Jesus said of himself, Il am the Way,
the Truth and the Life" Christ Is
thus our way to the truth, which in
storm becomes a stay and instrument
Of life.

Pathetic pride

Willie had had a tumble when he
was baby and his hip was so hurt
that ever afterward he was obliged to
use crutch. On one occasion, when
his mother had bought him a new
crutch of the latest and most ap-
proved style, Willie expressed his en-
thusiasm and delight in the roundest
terms. And oh, mother!" he ex-
claimed, in conclusion, referring to a
little friend of his who having the
use of both legs had no need of
clutches, won't Johnny Knowles be

The Cost of Politics.

In his "reminiscences of Grover
Cleveland, George F. Parker tells a
story concerning prodigal expendi-
lures in politics. A rich man who
had been nibbling at the Democratic
nomination for governor of New York
asked William C. Whitneys advice.
This is the advice: "Of course, you
ought to run! Make your preliminary
canvass, and when you have put in
100000 you will have become so
much interested in it that you will
feel like going ahead and spending
some money"

WHY SALVES FAIL

They Clog the Pores-Only a Liquid
Can Reach the Inner Skin.

Since the old fashioned theory of
curing eczema through the blood has
been given up by scientists, many
different salves have been tried for
skin diseases. But it has been found
that these salves only clog the pores
and can not penetrate to the inner
skin below the epidermis where the
eczema germs are lodged.
Thistle quality of penetrating
probably explains the tremendous
success of the only standard liquid
eczema cure, oil of wintergreen as
compounded in ID. ID. d. Prescription.
After 10 years of cure after cure, the
worlds leading skin specialists have
accepted this as the true eczema
cure.
We ourselves do not hesitate to
recommend ID. d. ID. Prescription at
$l.00 a bottle, but for the benefit of
those who have never tried the pre-
scription, we arranged with the d.

Now You Need Not

{ From vienna Abendpogt. }

At the recent convention held by
The physicians and surgeons of vi

of interest that brought about much
discussion was that of catarrh, its
rapid increase and results.
Professor Herman Won Schelt, a

prised those present with his exper-
fence with the disease, for disease
lit is. He stated that in the past two
years he has been able, through the
use of simple drug called vintox, to
treat successfully almost every case
that came under his care.
1t seems that this vintox, accord
ing to Professor Won Schelt, has al
ready found its way to America and
can be bought in any drug store.
Every sufferer of catarrh," says
the doctor, "can readily obtain relief
from two ounces of vjntox dissolved
in a pint of water. Just gargle a
