WE EAT TOO MUCH.

That is the way. Miss Ruth Arm

days and reduced her weight from 100
to 40 pounds.
! During the fast she took nothing but
water and declares that after the first
day or two she never felt better.

to fasting in order to cure certain ills.
He had tried everything else and was

his mind to be unusually clear.

The habit of crowding three full
meals into Q little stomach every day
is enough to ruin any organ of less

Because of our continual gorging the

When to this stuf1ing custom are add

felt as if they were ON the verge oI
| national disaster
We have had such experiences.
When Abra ham Lincoln was assassi-
mated we passed through a great trial
1t needed the voice of Il great man like
| Garfield. who said to the mob on the
| streets of New York. Fellow citizens,
! God reigns and the government at
| washington still lives"
There was another serious crisis
when Garfield was shot. And when
Mckinley got his death wound at Buff
falo dread anarchy showed it's horrid
front.
But we passed through these tribula-
tons and emerged.
Like some great planet swinging in
It's orbit, whose momentum is irresist-
ibIe. we kept the track marked out for
u.s.
Behind us was the cumulative force
of great bistory-the gathered mo-
mentum of a people who had dreamed
and done great things and good things.
So it is of our personal lives.
Disaster comes to us in a business
venture. The blow paralyzes. We see
no way out. We are seized by despair
This, we say. is the end.
But the crisis passes. We readjust
ourselves to the new emergencies. The
old wound slowly heals. By and by
the defeat passes into memory and the
,s+ r,h;
losophy.
1t is the reserve power within US
quickening to new endeavor.
A dear one dies We feel that never
again will the sun shine so brightly as
of old. Clouds and darkness are about
US. The terrible fact stares us. We
never shall see that face again! If, say
after a year or five years we might
hope to see it. But-nevermore!
The days pass. and time deals gently
with US. And after awhile we can
think calmly of our dead And the
memory of them is even sweet to us
because we know that
Life is ever lord of death.
And love can never lose its own.
Nations as well as individuals cCme
to feel that there is behind them a
mysterious power that pushes them
forth to their destiny despite all acci-
dent
And we need to learn that the purer
and truer the life forces are behind the
day of trial the stronger is the nation
or the individual in the day of trial.

TWO FUNERALS.

Did you read the long description Of
NGhe funeral Of Edward VII?
The obsequies were perhaps the
e0ost imposing of modern times, and
eAne cortege that left Westminster and
sasO1lowed the kings remains to rest in
st. Georges chapel at Windsor was the
most gorgeous ever seen save at the
queens jubilee
As read thought of how we buried
SEhe king Of our village forty years ago.
1t was in the era before machine
sanade goods had found their way to us
ito any great extent. The village tailor
made the mems clothes. the shoe
maker the boots. the wagon maker the
wagons. the cabinetmaker the furni-
yGnre, and so on.
Our king was a wagon maker.
He came to US from Kentucky, was
strikingly kingly in mien. tall. hand
some and Hon-like in strength Once
he put to fight the army of the aliens,
literally throwing an entire gang of
speace disturbers out of the church.
No man of the neighborhood dared
face him in his righteous Indignation.
Yet he had woman's heart
By right Of royal dignity and prerog-
ative he became the peacenaker Of the
community. He settled more lawsuits
than the lawyers at the county seat.
Injustice stirred him to instant action.
He was the defender of the weak.
And when misfortune came bis kindly
ministry was always evoked.
England was no more deeply stricken
by the death Of her king than we by
ours.
The funeral? 1t was to the village
church that we first took his remains,
ethe church where every Sunday he
marshaled his big family that filed a
pew. j remember the poignant sorrow
of that people. The minister could
scarce say his sermon because his
throat would tighten. and he would
slook at us-every one in tears-through
Sthe telescope of his own tears.
We were burying our king.
The coffin did not weigh half q ton,
like Edwards. It was made of smooth
walnut boards. There was no hearse.
The coffin was tenderIy laid on straw
in one OF the wagons he had built.
There was one carriage. and the min
ester and the widow rode in that. We
1feElowed in long procession. sitting in
chairs with which the wagons had
been furnished.
