What Is Truth?

Everybody claims to want the truth.
No man is so base or so cowardly as to
want anything less. Pilates question.
What is truth?" has never been fully
answered. 1t is not fact. it is not OBJ
jective intelligence. it is not the evi,
dence Of the senses. These are mere
phases or incidents of truth. They
may all be false. Truth is not from the
outside. 1t is not material. 1t is not
spiritual. It is the kindness Of deed
and the nobility of an aspiration. This
is the only truth in the world. 1t makes
no difference what the. teacher. the
preacher. the editor. the lecturer says.
the only truth in the world is the act OF
the loving and beautiful soul The
Bible says. LAS man thinketh in his
heart so is be-" That is in his spirit.
as expressed In his conduct. Every
man who builds his life on that idea is
forerunner Of the millennium.-Ohio

THE DEVIL LOSES HEART

THE DEVIL LOSES HEART
The Devil sat by the lake of fire
On pile of sulphur kegs;
His head was bowed on his breast,
His tail between his legs.
A look of shame was on his face,
The sparks dripped from his eyes;
He had sent his resignation to
The throne up in the skies.
'I'm down and out" the Devil said;
He said it with sob.
There are others that outclass me
And I want to quit my job.
He'll isn't in it with the land
Tha lies along the Rhine;
I'm piker and q has-been,
And therefore resign.
One ammunition maker with his
s bloody
Shot and shell 4,
Knows more about damnation
Than all the imps of He'll.
Give my job to Kaiser Wilhelm,
Or the the Russian Gar;
Or King George, or J.. P. Morgan
- Or some other such man Of war.
/ hate to leave the old home,
The spot / love so well;
But ! feel that I'mnotup -to-date
In the art of running He'll.

WHY YOU ARE NERVOUS

The nervous system is the alarm system
of the human body.
In perfect health we hardly realize that
we have a network OF nerves, but when
health is ebbing, when strength is declin>
ing, the same nervous system gives the
alarm in headaches, tiredness, dreamful
sleep, irritability and unless corrected,
leads straight to breakdown.
To correct nervousness, SCOTS Emul-
sion is exactly what you should take; its
rich nutriment gets into the blood and
rich blood feeds the tiny nerve-cells while
the whole system responds to its refresh
ing tonic force. 1t is free from alcohol.
