RECOVERING FROM ILLNESS

News reached here Wednesday
evening that Congressman William G.
Brown was seriously i'll in Washing
ton. suffering from ptomaine poison
ing evidently as the result of eating
oysters.
This morning news came again that
he was much better and was attending
to his duties as usual. His illness,
however, was not of an alarming ma
ture and he will soon recover.

10 aile' my S"UV brought in a saying
which has perplex-
ed many: "If thy foot cause thee to
stumble, cut it off, and cast it from
thee; it is better TO enter life MANNED,
or halt, than having two hands or two
feet to be cast into everlasting fire. If
thine eye ofreIa thee, pluck it out. and
cast it from thee; it is better to enter
into life with one eye. than that hay-
ing two eyes thou be east into Gehenna
fire."
Those who fail TO remember that Jes-
us spoke to the people only in parallels,
viii be liable TO stumble over these
words His teaching is this: IL you have
anything in your makeup dear to you
as a right hand or foot or eye, that is
likely to cause you to stumble and fail
to enter the Kingdom, you would better
cut off that tendency, no matter chat
il costs Would it not be better TO enter
Into life than to go into Gehenna IRE,
the Second Death? Surely! Having
put our hand to the pillow, having be-
come followers of jesus. we must either
go on and be conquerors. or must
perish
How careful the Lords people should
be not TO stumble one another, even
one OF the least Of these little ones!
Jesus suggested that shepherd losing
one of his sheep would leave all the
others to go aud seek that one; and
he rejoices specially at its recovery.
So we, the followers of Jesus, should
remember that we are all sheep under
the great Shepherds; and that lie has
the spirit of loving interest and care
which would so after the strnying
sheep; and we should have this same
spirit,
