LIGHT BOOZE.
Do You Drink 1t?

A minister's wife had quite a tus-
sle with coffee and her experience is
interesting. She says:
During the two years Of my train
ing as nurse, while on night duty,
I became addicted to coffee drinking.
Between midnight and four in the
morning, when the patients were
asleep, there was little to do except
make the rounds, and it was quite
natural that l should want a hot cup
of coffee about that time. I could
keep awake better
After three of four years Of cof-
fee drinking, I became a nervous wreck
and thought that 1 simply could not
live without my coffee. All this time
l was subject to frequent bilious at
tacks, sometimes so severe as to
keep me in bed for several days.
after being married, Husband
begged me to leave off coffee for he
feared that it had already hurt me
almost beyond repair, so l resolved to
make an effort to release myself from
the hurtful habit.
Il began taking Postum, and for q
few days felt the languid, tired feel
ing from the lack of the coffee drug,
but | liked the taste of Postum, and
that answered for the breakfast bev-
erage all right.
FINALLY 1 began to feel clearer
headed and had steadier nerves. Aft
er a years use of Postum l now feel
like a new woman-have not had any
bilious attacks since left off coffee
Name given by Postum Co., Battle
Creek, Mich. Read "The Road to
Wellville,' in pkgs.
Postum comes in two forms:
Regular Postum-must be we'll
boiled. 15c and Csc packages.
Instant Postum-is E soluble pow
der. A teaspoonful dissolves quickly
in cup of hot water, and, with cream
and sugar, makes a delicious hever-
age instantly. 30c and RHe tins.
The cost per cup of both kinds is
about the same.

some one suggested that they sing a

Be True to the Best,

Happiness is not what we are to
look for. Our place is to be true to
the best which we know, to seek that
and do that; and if, by Virtue its own
reward" be meant that the good man
cares only to continue good, desiring
nothing more, it is true and noble
saying. But if virtue be valued be-
cause it is polite, because in pursuit
of it will be found most enjoyment and
fewest sufferings then it is not noble
any more, and it is turning the truth
Of God into Il lie-Froude.

Sir George Reid, the former premier

On one occasion he delivered long
speech. In addition to being very long
it was very dull. He spoke of his de-

In a short time shall have passed
away, and will be no more"
Then the fat will be in the fire"
yelled a voice from the gallery, and
the big orator himself laughed heartily
at the humorous sally.

While there is no account of Job
expressing the change in his views of
God, there is a most graphic account
of the view that he had of himself
II abhor myself and repent in dust

point agrees with the experience of
Isaiah when he saw the Lord in the
temple and said: ST am a man of I'M
clean lips and dwell among people
of unclean lips" This was one of
the steps in Isaiah's preparation for
the mission upon which God was to
send him, and while Job was not be-
ing prepared for such special mis-
sion, he was being prepared for a
testimony which has come down to the
present moment to the glory of God.
The road to right relationship to God
is by the way of right views of self,
and that can only be obtained by right
views of God. When these right views
of self are given there will be honest
confession, this confession being in it.

Jobs Eyes Opened.

Only a cavalier will charge Job
with falsehood when he says that he
saw God. This was not, of course,
with his natural eyes, but with the eye
of the soul. So have men in all ages
seen God, some, no doubt, being grant
ed what they believed to be the phys
ical appearance of God. Moses saw
HE that hath seen me hath seen the
father. Job does not say what it
was in God that he saw, but we may
well believe that it was the holiness
of God, which was seen by the proph-
ct Isaiah when he had his vision in
the temple. Nor does Job say what
view he had of himself while God
was only rumor, but the probability
is what he saw of himself, is what
the world saw him to be, man of
distinction, wealthy, and glorying in
his large family. But now change
comes. He evidently sees himself as
God sees him. He probably had as
comprehensive view Of God as it
was possible for a man in his days to
have, but he could not see him in the
face Of Jesus Christ.
The need of this day is a right view
of God, the true starting point of all
individual and social redemption, and
this view of God is not difficult to OBJ
tain as the personality of Jesus Christ
is the most prominent personality of
history, and it is in him that God is
seen, for Jesus Christ is the expressed
image Of his person. This image of
God is much better than the image Of
God in the person of the first Adam.
Many, however, quite resolutely de-
cline to look at this image.
