The temper OF the family and the
good cheer around the table depend
so much on the good digestion OF

to eat slowly and masticate each

"TIME ENOUGH" TEXT
OF PASTORS SERMON
Rev. c. Everest Granger breaches Ser
mon on Procrastination-Sin
Gains BY Delay.

Procrastinators in religion-those who
put OF until tomorrow" their Christian
duties-were criticised in a sermon yes
terday, by the Rev. DR.. c. Everest Gran
ger. pastor of Gunton-Temple Memorial
Presbyterian Church. The sermon was
Oh THE Procrastinators Plea-Time
Enough" II was the third in a series
on Popular Excuses"
The Rev. DR.. Granger took as his text,
And he said. tomorrow" He said. in
part:
The excuse, time enough may be
promoted by a false conception of truth
and fact. Many today have no deep,
positive, true conviction OF divine truth
IS revealed by God. They don't believe
God. They don't believe or they would
act differently.
But the excuse generally comes SIM
ply from a reluctance to yield to the
claims OF God, and bid adleu to the
old life OF selfish sin. The individual
believes but still delays, intending pos
sibly TO attend to the matter, but loath
TO do So
I'VE all are more or less guilty The
evil is a common one. All our purposes
and plans reach into the future which
never may be ours. 1t is especially mani
fest in experimental religion. All ages
and classes indulge in II. The young
look TO middle age. the more advanced
to the last stage OF life. Tomorrow is
the prevailing maxim, which few pretend
10 Justify, but on which the vast major
ity persist in acting.
This attitude first OF all is foolhardy.
What can be gained by delay? Surely
nothing gained; but much will be lost.
Delay increases the difficulties, sin gets
firmer hold, and volition less powerful
Second, the attitude is risky. The
demands and exactions OF God are ac-
knowiedged. the disadvantages and dam
gers Of delay are known, but the risks
are taken in spite of II.
This attitude. thirdly. Is void OF good
eXample-duty and honor. Time
enough says the procrastinator. Why
has he no sense OF obiigauon to God anu
man? VIII he continue to spurn the
hand OF Gods mercy? VIII he con-
tinue to trample the blood OF Christ un-
derfoot?"

LATEST SOURCE
OF KNOWLEDGE
Scenes and Incidents Pertaining to
Greatest Achievement Known
to Mankind.

Someone has said. Ones knowledge
is of two kinds-that which he already
knows, and that which he can readily
find out"
There are but few OF our readers who
realize that the building of the great
Panama Canal is actually the greatest
work of all time. The Herald is dis
tributing a book to its readers which
sets forth every detail of this informa-
ton. 1t tells you of the financial aber-
rations of Count De Lesseps, the
Frenchman who first started to dig the
great waterway; 1t explains the problem
that has baffled civilization since Balboa
crossed the isthmus 400 years ago; it
shows now the skill of modern engineer
ing has conquered the seemingly insuper-
able obstacles. Not only is this informa-
ton given in detail, but the country
and the people are described so accu-
rately that one feels on neighborly terms
with them after reading this book

elsewhere in The Herald today are
printed daily during this educational
campaign. Clip and present six Of these
certificates with the small expense
amount that covers the bare cost of dis
tribution and this beautiful and useful
volume is yours. II not exactly as rep

NEW ISSUE OF STAMPS.
Five Denominations Authorized to
Meet Parcel Post Needs.

Postmaster General Burleson has au-
thorized a new issue OF stamps of the Z,
., IL, 20, and 30 cent denominations, to
meet the needs of the parcel post busi-
ness With these new stamps, and the
smaller denominations already in use,
nearly every amount from 1 cent to 90
cents can be made up with not more
than two stamps, thus saving the an
noyance of so many stamps on a parcel
Under Mr.. Burlesons administration
the ordinary postage stamp has been
made valid on every class of mail mat
ter. including parcel post, registered, and
special delivery, which three classes for
merly required special stamps.

When you use Syrup Pepsin you will
see the fallacy Of chewing mints and
tablets or OF taking cathartics. salts.
pills. and similar drastic medicines.
Unlike these. Syrup Pepsin does not
lose its good effect, and, by auto
matically training the stomach and
bowel muscles TO do their work, soon
restores these organs to normal.

AGAINST PAN-AMERICAN MASS.
Secular League Believes Ofiicials OF
Government should Not Take Part.

The Washington Secular League, at a
meeting held in Pythian Temple yester-
day afternoon. heard an address by J. A.
MacKnight on THE Crux of Evolution" d"
and adopted resolutions declaring it to
be inconsistent with the spirit and prin-
.ciple of separation of church and State
for officials of the government to Join
in religious and church functions such
as the Pan-American mass.
Mr.. MacKnight contended that the
crux. or test, of evolution lies in whether
or not it can prove equal to the task of
stemming and overcoming the tendency
of mankind to superstition, and to the
subsection of themselves to priestcraft.
The persistence of, and great difficulty
in overcoming, this tendency was en-
phasized by the speaker, who pointed out
that not only the history Of the past, but
the conditions OF the present enforce this
lesson, and proclaim the necessity of
vigorous action against this tendency in
our own time and country.
