A Marvellous Cure,

1t Is related that once German
American, growing more and more af-
ficted with extreme nervousness, got
the impression that he was forgetting
English. The impression got so strong
that he refused to talk anything but
German Then he became convinced
that he was forgetting that, closed up
like an oyster and was led away to a
sinitarium, where he spent his days
in complete silence.
"A course of treatment was prescribed
for him in which baths played an i'm
portant part Every morning the dumb
German American was thrown bodily
into a tub filled with very hot water,
allowed to remain there awhile and
then hauled out and set to cool on the
piazza.
But once the sanitarium acquired a
new attendant who got his signals
mixed. He was told to battle the Ger

cold water. he threw the patient into

SERMON ON SALVATION.
The Human and the Divine Side
Discussed by Pastor Boon.

Rev. J, b. Boon at the Main Street
in part
There are many points of simil-
arity between spiritual and temper
al life. There is a divine and there
is a human side. We are taught to
pray Give us this day our daily
bread but do we expect God to send
direct, without human aid, a plat
ter laden with the cereals OF earth?
The very paucity of the menu would
convince any man on short notice
that there is human as well as a
divine side to this prayer. The God
part is to create the silver and gold
and precious stones, but the human
part is to mine it, smelter it and
then mold it into useful articles.
So it is in your own salvation There

Gods nature to love as it is the ma
ture of the sun to shine. You can
let the weeds grow over the planted
seeds and the suns rays can never
find them. You can let the cares of
the world so befog your mind that
the love of God can't reach it. For
the grace of God hath appeared
bringing salvation to all men, Titus
2:11. Gods part is and was grace
or favor in giving us the plan of sal
walton, the means of redemption, as
he gave us world to live in. Does
man deserve any great credit for
accepting the earth as a place of
