cheap all our parchments OF hcensure to preach.
God gives His ministers license every Sab
bath and new message. He sends none OF us
out so mentally poor that we have nothing to
furnish but cold hash of other peoples SER
MONS Our haystack is large enough for all the
sheep that come round it, and there is no need
of our taking a single forkful from any other
barrack. By all means use all the books you
can get at, but devour them, chew them fine
and digest them, till they become part of the
blood and bone of your own nature. There
is no harm in delivering an Grafton or sermon
belonging to some one else provided you so
announce it. Quotations marks are cheap, and
let us not be afraid of them. Do you know why
Quotation marks are made up of four COM
mas two at the head Of the paragraph adopted
and two at the close Of it? Those four commas
mean that you should stop four times before you
steal anything.
Ii there were no question Of morals involved,
Plagiarism is nevertheless most perilous. There
are great many constables out for the arrest
OF such defrauders. That stolen paragraph that
you think will never be recognized has been
committed to memory by that old lady with
green goggles in the front pew That very
same brilliant passage you have just pronounced
was delivered by the clergyman who preached
in that pulpit the sabbath before; two thieves
met in one hen roost. All we know of Doctor
Hayward OF Queen Elizabeth's time is that
ne purlolned from Tacitus. Be dishonest once
IN this respect, and when you do really say
something original and good the world will cry
out, Yes, very fne I always did like Joseph
Addison!''
Sermons are successful not according to the
head involved in them, but according to the
heart implied, and no one can feel Alright while
preaching literary dishonesty. Let us be con-
tent to wear our own coat, though the nap on it
IS not quite as well looking, to ride on our own
horse, though he do not gallop as gracefully
and will "break up when others are passing.
There is work for all to do, and God gives
us just the best tools to do it. What folly to
be hankering after our neighbours chalkline
and gimlet!

There are little pockets in various
places which the epidemic may have
skipped" DIR. Blue said. and in these
a recurrence of the disease on q small
scale may be expected.
The coming of cold and inclem-
ent weather, bringing colds and bron-
chitfs In its wake, will also cause the
disease to rcappear In some places.
But 1t viii not recur in its virulent
form for some years, perhaps, be-
cause II has practically exhausted the
number of its potential victims.
Alaska, Porto Rico Hit by Disease
The only places where the cpl
demic is now raging in fun force are
Alaska and Porto Rico. The public
health service recently dispatched a
naval collier to Alaska with physl-
clans, nurses and supplies to fight the
disease. and 1 have cabled to the gov
ernor OF Porto Rico asking what is
needed there.
The public should remember that
influenza Is always with us. although
not In the form OF an epidemic. In
1916, 10000 deaths were attributed
to 1t in this country.
There is practically nothing that
can be done to prevent its spread,
unless IL be to build an exceptionally
high Chinese wall around the places
where IL exists. The public health
service experts are continuing their
study OF the disease aSd experiment.
Ing on vacclnes and Serums, but moth
ing has yet been found in the way of

caution that were followed during
the epidemic should be followed in
places where the disease recurs."
