Y. M. c. A. SHOP TALK
 AT CUTLERY WORKS.
Rev. p. c. Wright Speaks on What
 Satisfies Your Appetite7

Upon the topic, What Satisfies Your Appetite? Rev. F. c. Wright spoke on Friday at noon at the Cutlery at Thamesvllle in the series of shop talks under the auspices of the Y. M. C. A. There was a large audience of men, who listened with interest Violin so- los by Raymond Eldred were heard with pleasure.
 Rev. Mr. Wright said in part:
 The matter of our appetite is very important one. It does not concern us as it should many times. 1t repre- sents the principal field Of our temp tations and also of our greatest con quests and strength. We do not al Ways stop to think that it determines the good or ill of nearly every rela- ton in life. We are too apt to think IL IS only religious question. But this is not true It is d social question, too. It affects our home and GOmmu- nlty relations It determines OFT sue cess or failure in business and s)rOfes
 sional life. It greatly affects our health and strength
 In the first place let it he said that appetite is natural and good. It is natural for the mind to think and it craVes thought Let it feed upon truth and purity, and it will grow strong and useful. The body has vari- oGs natural appetites. Supply these with proper food and we come into possession of a vigorous and strong
 body. The animal part of us grows
 toward perfection. The spirit within each of us has it's cravings. too, which are natural Love holiness, justice kindness, sympathy, satisfy the spirit unless it has been perverted by evil In the second place let 1t be said
 that the appetites should be controlled.
 Either the man will control his appe- tites or the appeutes will control the man. Here is the place where Christ comes in to help us. Sin has come in to give our appetites license Christ l comes in to help us control them. That should satisfy our appetites which will make us better men. Men, l there is no doubt but that every year i ought to find us better men. If we ! satisfy our appetites with wrong sup plies we shall be worse men. Some men grow more brutish every year be- 1 cause of the things they eat and drink
 and think. We ought to be growing | better.
 That should satisfy our appettes which makes us more able to play a mans part in life. Every man should | have good home, @ happy home, a l home to comfort him in OlG age. The man who is supplying his appetites ! properly will be able to play the part | in his home which will bring these | things to pass. A good home is not 1 dependent wholly upon a wife or mother A father with a foul mind or an unprincipled heart will ruin all 1 that the rest of the family can do to- ward a good home Every man should | be a useful citizen. Fill him up with ! T-F- }. mi q | blood and thunder stories, will be he a good citizen? The institution on the l hill does not witness apprCVingly. The man who controls his appetites and 1 feeds them with proper materials will | be a useful citizen. That is very l high privilege in this land We ought
 to value it and fit ourselves for it's ex-
 ercise.
 Every man should ae a help to other men. Our life today Is very complex As I have said on several occasions 1 here. we all need each other and the welfare of all depends upon each. Il you prosper it will help others in tht l town, and vice versa. Every man, Wh( is worthy the name likes to do hl' part. If We are to do OIr part m th' common veal, we must -eed our ap' petites alright,
 It may be said in closing that th'
 control of our appetites is no smal matter, nor an easy one. Not a lew men find it extremely difficult Som' men have tried and failed. some haV' fought nObly and lost. But there Il one great good news for men to heal and that is that Christ caTNe into tn world to help us win. He vas tempt ed but won He is able to help then
 that are tempted and give them vic tory
