Much in Brief Dream.

1t is written of one of the most
eminent CT Englishmen who was die
tating to his amanuensis chapters of
an important work, and while so en-
gagged was overcome by sleep. He
dreamed of matters of great moment.
of diplomatic conferences. exhausting
many days and weeks. Becoming
awake he chided his secretary for per-
hitting him to sleep, and was astound-
ed to be told by the scrivener that
he had not finished the last sentence
that had been dictated Volumes have
been written crammed with such ex-
periences in infinite variety.

CANCER is DURABLE.

When educators organized for an at
tack on preventable disease they chose,
in tuberculosis, the greatest single cause
of death, and one which finds the vast
majority of it's victims in early adult
life. The next great attack was made
on the preventable causes Of death in
infancy.
Most encouraging progress has been
made in both of these campaigns. En-
couraged by what has been accom-
plished in the foregoing campaigns, a
ed against cancer.
In engaging cancer battle is being Of
fered to what is, perhaps, the most SER
ious and difficult health problem Of
later adult life. Nevertheless, there are
splendid opportunities offered for cut
ting down a tremendous amount of pre-
ventable suffering and greatly decreas
ing the number Of premature deaths
from this cause.
By acquiring a little fundamental
knowledge about cancer one can lessen
to a great extent his own chances Of
acquiring the disease in fatal form.
Know that the disease is easily cured if
recognized early and is promptly and
efficiently treated. Cancer, particular
in the breast, is signal for prompt
visit to thoroughly competent and re-
liable physician or surgeon. The latter
should be consulted at once concerning
any unnatural bleeding, especially ia
middle life or later.
Neglected, long existing cancers are
practically incurable. Obviously, the
common sense course is to learn the
truth from reliable and experienced
counselors.

Dr.. George E. GrOSe Talks at
Morning Services at St.
PauI'S- Mans Opinion of
God influences Business.

God is the one great divine who is
unknown to many people Of the world,
but TO those who know Him He is a
divine benevolent heart who takes care
OF man." said DR. George +. Crosse.
president Of DePauw university in an
interesting address given Sunday
morning at St. Paurs Methodist
church on the theme, God"
He spoke Of the various manners
in which the people take the meaning
of God. 1T is hard for us TO believe
that God looks after each one Of US
Individually" he said. AT times it
looks 10 the doubtful thinker that God
does care for each one Of US. When
the earthquake struck San Francisco
the people were not spared who were
Christians, but they all were taken
alike.
AT the time the Titanic sunk the
good were lost along with the bad and
God saved no more righteous than un-
righteous people. From this it looks
as if Christians have no more chance
than the greatest sinner. but that Is
only the narrow side of the great
question Where the righteous man
goes TO his death his soul lives on and
the unrighteouS mans soul is given to
everlasting torture.
What a man thinks 0f his business
depends upon what he thinks of God.
If his first purpose in his business IS
10 acquire money, he has a poor con-
ceptiCn Of God for the business man
working for money only, will eventu-
ally do anything necessary 10 obtain
the money"
AS an illustration and comparison
of whether or not God has a care for
each person of the earth and whether
or not he has abandoned the earth he
said:
I'VE know of the great station built
bv the PENNSYLVANIA Railroad CO. that
cost Sill, 100000 in New York and
people would think it the most un-
usual thing that ever happened If the
great company should abandon this
beautiful building and leave it 10 the
lazy lOafers to lounge in, and for the
spiders TO build their webs in, while
by far more unreasonable il would be
if God should abandon this universe
after sending His only Son TO the earth
TO save the people.
THE world as il is, is GODS world
and he is responsible for the way 1t Is.
God is working and waiting for the
people to realize the great opportunity
that He has given us"

SELF EXAMINATION GOOD
We should Take Stock of Our Spirit
nal Standing Says Priest.

The legacy of the Cross is the for
giveness of sins" said Father Herbert
at the two sermons at NOtre Dame
Sunday. He said. I'VE should see our
souls daily as we will see them on
Judgment day and then we will keep
the commandments more diligently
and with more care. There is a man
in Washington who on the first Fri
day of every month goes to a church
and prays for a while before he goes
to confession, and when that man
leaves that church he has a new light
in his face and his pace is quicker
There is man who occupies a high
position and is not afraid 10 make
himself as a little child. That act
is better than all books and sermons
on christian doctrine" He concluded
by giving passages to show the need
OF confession and the manner Of
preparation.

PEOPLE CLAIM
TO BE CHRISTIANS

There are many people in the

tor OF the F1rst Brethren church,
last night in his sermon on Now I
Am Not Far From the Kingdom OF
God"
There are those who well know
the entrance OF the kingdOm but fail
10 recognize Cod. but they are well
aware o. the fact that the wages OF
sin are death. There are also those
that know that they are lost and are
living the life OF sin. and still others
outside the church who are doing all
that they can possibly do IN their Pc
sition for the church. These people
are not far from the kingdom OF God
Tut being not far from the Kingdom
Is not being within the kingdom.
TO be in the kingdom We must rec

1.-THE SOWER" is TOPIC
OF PASTORS SERMON
Rev. George w. Allison Says People
Should BE Careful Of EX-
ample They Set.

The importance of sowing good
character seeds. was emphasized by
Rev George William Allison in his
Sunday evening sermon at the Hope
Presbyterian church. Speaking on
the subject of The Sewer" Rev. Ali
son called attention TO the fact that
while people are at the present time
planting gardens. seeding lawns and
fields, they are also seeding their own
characters and scattering their influ-
ence in the lives of others.
The parable of the "Sower who
went forth To sow formed the text.
After describing realistically the
scene when this parable was spoken
by the Master. and repeating the
main outline OF the parable itself
attention was called to the following
points:
Not only in fields and gardens do
we find a seedhme and harvest. but
also in human character. 1t seems
TO have been a faVOrite figure OF
speech with Paul. and it is used sew
eral times in the Old Testament. But
we are concerned not SO much with
the harvest. though that gives the
Seeddme its Importance. as we are
With the seeding itself
And while these spring days are
suggesting thoughts To your mind OF
planting. sowing. and sending your
thoughts TO the fields and gardens.

realize that YOU are planting seeds
