Christian Endeavor Thoughts.

Christian Endeavor Thoughts.
How vast a part of what is worst in
modern society is due to lack Of moral
courage.
Where true love is kindled every fac
ulty brightens.
Religion is to put heart and courage
into us. both to work and to pray.
lis no use trying to irrigate a desert
with tears.
Some piety aspires SO much it can
not perspire.
The faith that can be hidden never
stays healthy.
If you are q saint you will want to
be something.
Habitual regret simply puts the head
light on the tail end.
The only way to keep faith sweet Is
to keep it in service.
They who go out to hit the high
places land on the dump.
It's wise to be afraid Of the spiritual
ity that fears morality.

0NE baby born every three and
~ one-half minutes every day in the
year is the way New York City
did her share in 1907 toward the prop
agation of the human species. Deaths
occurred only at the rate Of one in
five and one-third minutes. and from
that it will be seen that the big city
would be able to grow with consider
able rapidity, even If immigration
ceased. Accidents last year resulted
in 1919 deaths: there were 2S4 MUIR
ders and I'll suicides. There was a
marriage every eight and one-third
minutes. The largest single cause of
death was consumption. which had
1893 victims. Organic heart diseases
caused 1887 deaths.-Human Life.

INTERESTING FACTS OF NEW YORK CITY.

So it seems that organic heart trouble
is next to consumption in the cause of
deaths-and yet people will continue to
drink coffee when the abIest men in the
medical profession have time and again
stated that "caffeine in coffee is frequently
the direct cause of organic heart trouble"

Chicago, June 24.-Attorney General
Wickersham In his address at the BAN
quet of the Illinois Bar association to-
night expressed the opinion that un-
der the operation of the new railroad
rate law much of the antagonism be-
tween shippers and carriers would be
removed and be conducive to better
stability In railroad securities.
Mr.. Wickersham said in part: Just
and reasonable rates for the carriage
|of freight Without unjust discrimina-
ton IL a subject which touches ever,
business man directly and every maj
Indirectly; and 1t is not only essen
| tiaI that the rates and practices oi
carriers should be Just and reasonable
but that the community as whole
