I Evangelist Burke preached {
powerful sermon on Matt. 90;
And as Jesus passed forth
thence, he saw a man, named
Matthew, sitting at the receipt
of custom: and He said unto
him, Follow me. And he arose
and followed Him
It was call TO Matthew. He
did not return a word but arose
! at once and followed Jesus. He
knew Jesus taught love, pure
life, holy life, and to follow
such a person he would gain ev-
erything in this world and in
the world to come.
Jesus is a gentleman. He
does not force you to follow but
leaves it to your choice. When
you follow Jesus you must fol-
low all the way. Go into the
church, Sunday school, prayer
meeting and preaching service.
If you follow Jesus it means a
pure life.
All the devil has to promise
is hell in this world and hell in
the world to come. It is a mat
ter of taste, pride and ambition.
If young man is willing to re-
main with that class that stands
against home, purity and a holy
life, you can't appeal to him. If
he wants better company you
can reach him and he will fol-
low Jesus. I thank God we can
have happiness by walking with
Jesus. Follow Him and you will
surely find it.
This is --a@scstnat is calling
Tfor men of character. Bushes;
is calling for men that believe
something and follow that be-
lief.
Take this old Book and read ii
and follow it and you will be
guided into a great work. You
will be blessing to man.
Success just means this: Fol-
low Jesus. Say I will right now.

you would be doing a world Of good by suggesting this scheme, which Is
all the better because it is devoid Of drugs, and does not appear to
leave any after effect which most drugs do.
Il have recommended this plan to several friends who were smI
larry beneftted. I would add, however, that a friend, a physician, tells
me that different persons often require different treatment n that ne
seldom found two cases exactly alike Nevertheless l firmly think tn
use of hop pillows for this malady Is Wortha TRIAL

WALKING For Beauty.

Systematic exercise Is an unknown

tramp the skin fairly blooms with an
exquisite ruddy glow that no cosmet-

cislng the muscles, with deep breath

exercise will improve the tissues,

The Parrot ScoIded.

If parrots seem Ill natured 1t is not
always their fault. They say Ill ma
tured things, but they say nothing that
has not been taught to them, So Mrs.
Watkins parrot must not be blamed
for speaking i'll naturally to the bur-
slar. The burglar got in Mrs. Wat
tins' house one night and was trying
10 steal something or other that Mrs.
Watkins would have preferred to keep,
Ind in looking around the house he
woke up the parrot, You know how
grumpy you feel If you are awakened
before you have had enough sleep, 1t
WAS just the same way with the par
}ot, and she scolded the burglar. She
bold him that he was q bad man and
shat be must get out, and the burglar,
who did not-Ianow ti,st IT was a bird
that was talking to him, got out as
quickly rs he could. He probably
thought that he had been visiting o
ghost,
