DR.. Clayton, describing the causes
Of arterio -SchlerosiS and heart afrec-

which he noted violent increase in
blood pressure. said:
blood pressure is much increased
by Overeating, and il is certainly az

Memories CatcchiSm.

4 remarkable instance of memOriZ-
ing the Shorter Catechis;n has been
reported by Rev. A. A. Talbot, OF the
Southern Presbyterian mission station
Al Using -kiang-pu, China. Mr. Tai
bot writes:
Last week We had a very interest
ing case among our inquiries. He was
young man from one OF our out
stations. His father is vegetarian
and an ardent worshiper Of idols. But
his boy, who could not read a single
charter, heard of the Jesus chapel
through his older brother and deter
mined to go to church. From that
day to this he has shown a remark
able zeal. This father bitterly op-
posed his son and forbade him TO go
to church. So the boy had to devise
plans to elude his father. But when
the boy heard at church that 1T was
his duty to keep the Sabbath day he
went home to make firm stand Tor
God and actually did refuse to work
on sunday.
He secured a Shorter Catechisrn
from our helper. and although he did
not know a character. he secretly
went among his neighbors and friends
asking them to call each character as
he learned it. From the SOUND or the
characters told him he memoriZed the
shorter Catechism in several months
time. together with twenty-foui
hymns. He has just recited the
Catechism perfectly to Mr.. Graham
and at our last Sabbath morning
service he was awarded a diploma
through the courtesy of the Christian
Observer and the publication com
nittee gave him a nice Bible. He wa:
very happy indeed and felt fully re
paid when his diploma and Bible wer'
given TO him. Although he cannO
read. the Bible will be great com
fort to him"
The earnestness with which thi
Chinese boy sought the knowledge
God as contained in the Bible an
summarized in the Shorter Catechlsn
affords a striking lesson to those Wh
arc more highly favored than he.
