Injurious Nostrums.

We are not to be unmindful that there
are many enemies lying in wait to
furnish us with such food and drink
as will impair and may destroy our
spiritual health, and we are to guard
against these moro strengously than
the dangers in the way of physical
health.
Important as perfection in physical
nature is it is far more important in
the spiritual life. as eternal things are
superior to the temporal. Yet how COM
mon it is for men to be more concern
ed about the body than about the soul.
How eagerly men seek for every
nostrum to alleviate and cure the in
flrmities Of the body. who pay little or
no attention to the far greater IN
f1rmtties Of the soul.
The remedies that can be found for
the bodily ailments are never certain.
but those freely offered by the Great
Physician for soul sickness are IN
fallible.
1t is always a question about the re-
covery of the body's illness, and about
its reaching maturity of vigor. God
has not made known a specific for the
natural body In 1t are planted the
seeds Of decay and death. But there Is
never question about the complete
recovery Of the souls illness and its
attaining the maturity Of perfection If
the known remedy God has provided is
applied.

Dual Personality.

Every one of us has two natures,
and there is always a warfare going on
between the two.
Paul tells us Of this conflict as it
manifested itself in his own dual per-
sonality: Il find then a law, that when
l would do good, evil is present with
me. For I delight in the law of God
after the inward man: but I see an
other law in my members, warning
against the law Of my mind, and
bringing me into captivity to the law
of sin, which Is in my members"
This war is ever raging between the
higher and lower natures of man.
An ancient Moslem writing presents
the idea that at the judgment of the
body and soul q dispute will arise be-
tween them as to which of them their
guilt ought to be imputed.
"The soul saying: o Lord my body

Body and Soul.

The body represents the lower nature
Of man and the soul the higher nature.
Both cannot be in the ascendency.
If the unholy desires, appetites and
passions Of the body are dominant, the
higher nature is put under the lower.
We must choose which shall have the
dominion over our lives
The powers of the body are all good
If rightly used: but they are never
rightly used except under the domi-
nance of the spirit. Without the spirit
is death, with it is life.
For if ye live after the flesh, ye
shall die: but If ye, through the spirit,
do mortify the deeds of the body, We
shall live"
