SERMONETTE.

Goodness that takes the fight
out Of a man when fighting is
necessary is not the right brand
of goods.
Iron is needed in the blood, as
we'll as goodness, to make a man
tower of strength and the sue
cessfui champion Of a great un-
dsrtaking.
Nehemiah was such man.
He had the quality of good
ness which made him a reverent
and devout man before God and
kindly, helpful man towards
his fellow man.
But these gentle characteris-
tics did not prove a weakness
when 1t came to facing the
forces of evil. He could be as
stern and relentless as he was
gentle and good.
He trusted in God, but it was
trustfuIness which kept his eye
on the enemy and his hand on
the sword to strike if necessity
demanded.
He was such type of man as
God gave to the United States
in the person of Washington
and Lincoln. and the eulogy
which President Roosevelt paid
these two great men would ap-
ply equally to Nehemiah, when
the president said:
Zach possessed all the gen.
tier virtues commonly exhibited
by good men who lack rugged
strength of character. Each
possessed all the strong quail
ties commonly exhibited by
those towering masters Of man.
} kind who have too often shown
themselves devoid Of so much as
, the understanding Of the words
by which we signify the quail
) ties of duty, of mercy, of devo-
tion to the right, Of lofty dis
interestedness in battling for
the good Of others. Each had
lofty ideals, but each in striving
to attain those lofty ideals was
guided by the soundest common
sense. Each possessed infIex-
ibIe courage in adversely and a
soul wholly unspoiIed by pros.
perity."
How true all this is of Nehe-
niah, who sacrificed the luxury
and ease Of his palace position
that he might become the great
emancipator Of his people at Je-
rusalem and lead them forward
in that great reform which cir
cled Jerusalem with a wall and
the people with new loyalty to
Gods law.
). Goodness is not measured by
the length Of prayers or the
weight of personal virtues, but
rather by the dynamic force
which Is operative in the affairs
Z Of men as result of that reli-
) eion.

THE STORY.

I F SANBALLAT, the Horonite and
! Tobiah, the Ammonite, supposed
after that first interview with Nehe.
miah that he was one they could
frighten from his good purposes for
Jerusalem, or trap into a compro-
missing alliance with them, they did
not with their customary keennessf form
correct estimate of the man with
whom they had to deal.
These two men were mighty men
IN the land and up to the coming of
Nehemiah had maintained sway over
the city Of Jerusalem and the coun.
try round it, and it was with ill-con.
ceaied hostility that they sought their
hrst Interview and took a mental meas.
ure OF the man who had come all the
way from Babylon upon some impor.
tant mission. They saw that his ere.
dentials from the king were all right
and the presence of the kings soldiers
prevented them from committing anv
overt act of violence,
Nehemiah made no response to thei,
menacing words, and Sanballat and
Tobiah, taking his silence to mean q
recognition OF their power, felt salts
fled that they could have no further
trouble and took their departure.
Nehemiah sat long In meditation
He realized he must act at once, and
by his impetuosity and swiftness Of ac
tion sweep the people into the carry
ing out OF his plans. No time was to
he lost.

Easy.

Easy.
Once there was an old woman who
lived in a shoe. She had so many
children that at first she didn't know
what to do.
A friend of the family who hap.
pened to come along just then, how.
ever, made the following suggestions:
To put one of them in factory.
To have a couple more operated on
and otherwise fused over by the doc.
tors
To put a couple of them in coal
mine.
To send one to a modern public
school.
To bring up another on a pure food
diet
Which no sooner having been car
ried into effect than the old woman
settled down to life of ease and lone
someness.-New York Herald.

Nicely, ma'am," Mary answered,

fight?"

CHICAGO. May 15.-The bread
sold in Chicago contains about
fourteenths of one per cent alco-
hol, according to experiments of
DR.. Max Henius, of this city, and
announced today.
For several weeks l have been
analysing bread purchased in the
open market" said the doctor. Il
was surprised at the results. We
found that In an ordinary loaf there
is from three to four tenths of one
per cent of alcohol.
II do not believe there is enough
alcohol in bread to create a taste
for liquor, but there are others
who disagree with me.
THE United States government
does not recognize as intoxicating
any beverage that contains less
than one half of one per cent of al
cohol, but in some of the radical
of the prohibition communities
they have been demanding pro-
hibiting the sale of even these
beverages.
