 Improper eating told on me till my stomach became so weak that food nauseated ne. even the Iightest and simplest lunch, and I was much de pressed after a night of uneasy sIlI1n- Der, uniting me for business
 This condition was discourasing. as l could lind no way to improve it. Then saw the advertisement of Grape-Nuts food. and decided to trv it. and became delighted with the result
 For the past three years I have used Grape-Nuts and nothing else for my breakfast and for lunch before re- tiring. It speedily set my stomach right and l consra tulate myself that I have regained my healthA There is no greater comfort for tired man than a lunch of Grape Nuts.

LARGE LENTEN AUDIENCE
 AT ST. PATRIck,s vEsPERs
Rev. Father Kelly, Dominican from New Haven, Delivered Impressive Sermon

The sermon at s -nday evenings 8 service at St. Patrick < church was by Rev. Father Kelly, Dominican priest from New Haven who spoke on The effectively Wiegand's Vespers and Mir. Goodfellow rendered in a delightful tenor 0 Salutarfs by Holden The service was very largely attended, bered by many as he spoke here during the mission which was conducted at St PatTicks a short time ago.
 Father Kelly said that there were q great benefactor and Savior of man kind, but who denied that he was truly the Son of God. There are those, he said who pretend to be Christians, who accept and follow the teachings of Christ who admit that he was the great messenger of God, sent to re- form and redeem. who yet deny that Christ was truly the Son Of God. Christ came as a man among men, con ceiyed of Mary his mother. He suffer- ed thirst. hunger, poverty, torture and death on the cross, feeling all the stlf- fering of humanity. He experienced human thoughts and emotions. How he ever became a man will ever be beyond and above our comprehension but we know that He was man. There is no middle place for Christ. He has placed himself So brilliantly before the gaze of mankind that we must either fall down and worship Him or turn our backs on Him. Christ was either the Son or God or He was not even the good man whose those who doubt his divinity believe Him to have been. Before His judges in the presence of those who sought to slay Him, when asked if He was the Son of God, He answered, Thou hast said it: I am He" Was he an impos- ter? Te sincerity, unselfshness and humility of His character were the very traits which would have been inn possible in an inposter. Peter knew when he answered the Master: Thou are Jesus Christ the Son of the Hv- ing God.'' Christ said: 'sYe are of this world; I am not of this world He stands between Heaven and earth as the sole means of access to the Heavenly Father. Even on the cross Christ proclaimed Ills divinity and said to the dying penitent thief. This day thou shalt be with Me in Para disc"
 The Lenten period should be strict period of self denial Christ said He that would be my disciple. let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me" And again: He that loy- eth Me keereth My commandments. So let us deny ourselves and take up our cross and say with the disciple Thou are Jesus Christ, the Son of the Living God.'
