girl dressed in her best, almost leaped

apologized and said;
"oh, It's you, DIR. Taylor? 1 thought
you were papa"
And the captains wife came and
apologized for the waiting breakfast
table and said:
you know the Royal Charter should
have been in ere this. Stay and enjoy
the meal with us"
DR.. Taylor looked at her and said:
my dear woman. 1t breaks my
heart to tell you, but the Royal Char
ter went down last night and your
husband was lost"
She looked at him, threw her hands

BUILDING FOOD

When a little human machine Cor a

important as the selection OF food to
bring it around again.
my little baby boy fifteen months
old had pneumonia then came brain
fever, and no sooner had he got over
these than he began to cut teeth and,
being so weak, he was frequently

took him to Kansas City for a visit.
When we got there he was so very
weak when he would cry he would
sink away and seemed like he would

Reasonable to Be a Christian.
A man must be a moral idiot that
doesn't see that it is reasonable to be
a christian and unreasonable to be a
sinner. 1t Is only reasonable to do
what is right and serve God. You
know avoirdupois doesn't make a man,
Man isn't a man because he meas

isn't a man because he can tip the

On the other hand some of the best
men that I i have ever known were men
of frail structure, Caesar was frail in

Some of the grandest men that the

You will wait until you are about to

When you pass away you viii like

When yeu are on your dying bed and
they lead your little children In to

look into their bewiidered faces then
it is a comfort for you to know that
they are under the sacred protection
of the church, And then 1t would be
a comfort for you to know that you
are dying within the call of that great
institution.

and I swing the doors open wide this
afternoon from wall to wall and say:
Come In. boys, come In, we will

Come into the greatest institution
Of the earth. All other institutions
have failed, but the church of God ii
founded on the rock OF ages, and the
charter is everlasting; the dividend Is
heaven and its president is God. The
church stands and the church needs
you and you need the church.
The Church Needs Men.
There are many reasons why you
should choose for Christ, First. the
church needs you. If the church Of
God doesn't get you and your children,
hell will. What a comfort 1t will be
in time of trouble to know that the
church is protecting you. Are the sa-
looms full of men or women? Men
Are the gambling hells full of men OF
| women? Men. Are the jails and PEN
itentiaries full of men or women?
Men. Is the church full of men OF
women? Women. Sixty eight pei
cent Of the church membership are
women, and it's q disgrace to you ais

but how many fool ideas some of you
have as to what constitutes manhood,
Physical strength is not test Of man
hood.
No man can be a MAJ unless he is
a christian. Yes, you can exist with
out accepting Christ, but you won't
really live. The manifest man look
ing into my face this afternoon or on
the platform behind me is the chris
tian.
I'm looking into the faces of men
who will never see the snow again or
see the birds go away. I'm looking
into the faces of some men who viii
never pray, but others will before they
leave this building.
Afraid of Snesrs.
Some of you say you are afraid to
become q christian because of the
sneers that you will receive. Amy fell
low who will sheer at you because you
are a christian is too dirty and low
down to speak to, and / wouldn't dis
grace a poiecat by comparing the two.
I've known men who thought they
could do as they please as long as they
had their strength and then could
creep into Gods arms at last. I think
that's the most contemplate thing to
do, to booze, to cuss to prostitute, to
live in iniquity, and then expect God to
save you at last when you offer Him
the dregs Of your life. Thank God I've
got more manhood in me than to ask
God to take me to heaven after I've
served hell and domination all my life.
DO not think that because God has let
you live and has always been patient
with you that He always will be. You
intend to spend eternity in heaven.
Some Of you are going to pray some
time, and you'd better start to do ii
today, and have something to dispeI
the gloom around the deathbed.
intellectually No Test.
Intellectually is no test Of manhood,
Lord Bacon was extolled as a benefac-
tor of the human race. But was he
manly when as lord chancellor. he took
a bride Of G1O0 from n man and
GS00 from another and he gave a de-
cision in favor of the mar that had
given him the bride Of 2400?

told them of course he was not a

to be brave, but he could not help her.
He would watch for a member of the

woman, just do the best you Fan to get
