troubles last?" We are led to believe
that most diseases could be avoided by
keeping the system clean, and having
regular habits. There are a great many
diseases travelling around making VIC
tins out of people who have careless
ways. There are other diseases that
may be contracted by living too fast,
and some by living too slow. The best
life to live is the Regulated lie. Eat only
such foods as ~ agreeable with your
health. Don't ca too much or too little.
TO waste food is as big a sin as 10
waste time. Fotd that is not necessary
to good health is a waste. If YOU think
your stomach can digest unnecessary
food, you are sadly mistaken. Treat
your stomach fair and it will give you
happiness.
When the great world war cried out
for our help there were a great many
people who did not taen believe In con-
scription. These same people are now
converted to the great move Dld you
know mat Jesus sanctioned such as
this? Well, He did. It you 60 not De-
lieVe it, read in the Good BOOK where
He sent certain OF His men to Ger
tain place to get mule wnereon never
man sat. IhiS was a very cnolce mule
you see. Christ told the men to go get
it, He told the men to tell anyone who
objected TO tell them that Christ needed
it, SO, the mule was conscripted for
Jesus. Nj. Wilson cOnSCripLed the
young men because he needed us. lie
chose the best in the land, and he ala
right. The lesson for us TO learn IN
both instances is the lesson of OBHDl-
ENCE.
Most people do not know how to dis
criminate between human nature anu
the Devil that's in them.
Just because some foolish wise men
say we spTang from the monkey tribe
is no reason why some folks should any
longer mimic the monkey.
II standing where each one is thefe

done, some folks have got to do some
tall jumping to get into the Kingdom
1t is said that some people barely
get into the Kingdom by the skin OF
their teeth. Lets not risk TINS DuSl-

some people have fed the pig nature

some weeks past when people were
getting up old clothes for destitute peo-
pie, | heard Of a well-Jo-do man MAX
ing a remark that struck me very fore
ibiy. He looked ever the pile OF old
clothes and saw an Overcoat that had
been slightly used. He intlmated that
the man who gave it did a wasteful
act by giving away something that he
could have managed 10 use while
longer. Dear readers, it is the sacrl-
tices that we make that count. If we
do not give till we feel the effects of
it we are not giving at all, even II
the other party does get some good out
of what we have given. Giving things
away to get them out of the way IS
not giving in the trUest sense. 1t is
the giving till il pinche3 us to give that
counts We should, il we can, do so
when the opportunity presents itself:
gi re things away that we will miss. II
we do rot get in the habit of giving
uD things that are hindrances to us,
we retard our real progress. 1t is all
eight in q sense to give away old things
but the uoint 7 want to get into your
head is this: Don't expect God to bless
you for giving away, things to get rid
of them; neither expect Him to bless
you for giving from a duty standpoint.
When you give from a love standpoint,
chat is when You make God and the
angels smile. SO when you have an OPP
portunity to give some one something
in the way Of q good suit or a good
dress. or some haTd-earned money, and
you give rags and a few copper cents
instead. don't expect Cod to bless you
Ger your downright selfishness and
