No man ever yet found God by first
getting rid of all the entanglements
and complications OF his life and then
turning TO God. Yet many a man de-
ceives himself into thinking that that
Is what he can do. 1t is a hopeless
attempt. The time that a man needs
a PHYSICIANS advice and treatment is
when he is helplessly entangled by
disease. The time that a man needs
God Is when his life is SO wound in
and out with the entanglements of
his wrong-doing the he recoils from
the thought of God. He must come
to God to get loose; he cannot first
get loose and then come to God. Only
God can get him loose; and God can
free him from every knot and shackle
OF the hopelessly involved bondage
into which years Of i'll doing and deal
ings have brought him. He does not
see how this can be: he cannot see
how. until he has yielded up his hands
in acknowledged defeat and given
over himself and all that he has TO
God. In complete submission and
resoiutely declared purpose to dc
Gods whole will. Then the miracle
Of release will begin. IT. can never he
granted upon other terms.

h THE WORLD OF JUNIORS
Penal Code Sensible and Most ehee-
tive for Punlshnent Of Child
ish Faults.

Public opinion sways the child
world. Sometimes this public opinion
Is created by what an intelligent child
has learned through older people,
sometimes II comes OF the children's
own reasoning. And the child who
fails in the etiquette demanded from
him by his own world Is punished In
the surest and severest way. Public
opinion Is against him or his mis-
deed; he must remain on the outside
until ha has proved his repentance.
There may be a suggestion for older
people in this method OF treating Of
tenders in their midst. Punishment
by the family's ostracism may bring q
rude or indiIerent-mannered little
person to terms sooner than anything
else.
Emerson had a little daughter, e.
len, who once told a lie. She was not
punished in the way that you or |
might think wise. All the children In
the family we're brought together and
told that something very dreadful had
happened In their family; Ellen had
told a lie. They must not romp or
play or sing. for Ellen had told lie

Or. Joseph II. Pratt OF Boston, who
was the founder OF the first tuberculo-
sis class in the United States in the
Emmanuel church in Boston. claims
that in the treatment Of tuberculosis
absolute rest. often in bed. must be
extended over a period OF months, be-
fore the consumptive should take any
exercise. He says: Prolonged rest
In bed out Of doors yields better re-
suits than any other method OF treat
ing pulmonary tuberculosis. Patients
will have a better appetite and take
more food without discomfort and gain
weight and strength faster than pa
tients with active disease who are
allowed to exercise. Complications
are much less frequent When used
In the incipient stage recovery is
more rapid and surer."
