excess which registers itself in fati- que, to greatly impair both the quantity and the quality of his out put.
 s The physiologist tells us that in a condition of fatigue the system Of waste disposal, of the organism breaks down and poisons remain in the body which have their attendant evils in jaded sense reactions, over wrought nerves, enfeebled will irri- table temper and impaired judge ment. In such condition the high est powers, the finest capacities, the most delicate perceptions are the first to go. The tired man goes istlessly about his tasks minus the best part of himself. His body is a second rate machine, he can undertake no creative effort, hsi sense of moral values and spiritual Appreciation is crippled and even his practical judg- ments are untrustworthy. He is simply, not all there, his efficiency is greatly reduced. Not only does his efficiency suffer but his moral integ- rity is threatened, for at such time his defences are down and every temptation to which he is susceptible finds an easy approach, while the gloomy and Respondent mood takes up its abode with him and encounters no resolute opposition. I ask you is it not serious breach of steward ship to thus carelessly or unwilling ,ly, interfere with your productive capacity, lay waste your moral de- fences and bankrupt your spiritual resources? s..
 You will prove recreant to your trust if you allow yourself any test of stewardship lower than, ''thy body at its best". Any man who means to be the man he can be in character and serviceableness must say to himself 'I am going to get positive help out of this body of mine." I will make it serve me Ito project my soul on it's lone way" will re- gard it as an asset and not as a liability.
 "Let us not always say,
 Spite of this flesh today
 I strove made head, gained ground
 upon the whole!
 As the bird wings and sings Let us cry, "All good things Are ours nor soul helps flesh more
 now than flesh helps soulp'
 Let us strive as good stewards to present our bodies, day by day, q living sacrifice, holy acceptable unto God, for this is our reasonable ser vice.

The soaH and she sorsv,

It is no dsubt true that nearly all haman inventions have been suggested by natural objects. Fremont Of the French school of mines points out an interesting example in the case of the screw, the fundamental idea of which, he believes, was suggested to primitive man by the spiral shape of the edible snail
 It was not the shape of the shell that suggested the screw, but the spi- raj molten which 1t @ necessary ts give to the body of the snail in order to withdraw it from the shell. This at once showed that an object of a screw shape embedded in a solid pow erfully resisted attempts to withdraw 1t by a straight pull.
 The hint was enough, and the screw became one of the earliest of mans Inventions.

WORLDS DEBT TO UNKNOWRs
Fitting That Services Rendered Co tIu- nanity by the Anonymous shevld
 Be Properly Recognized.

Underlying the splendid tributes sf France and Great Britain to two un- known soldiers. as symbols of all the unknown heroes of the war, is a thought that should find more general application 'n times of peace.
 It Is something new for unknown soldiers to be buried in westmiRster and under the Arch of Triumph. State burial was once reserved for marshais and generals and conspicuous heroes. among military men. It Is only just that the victory Of democracy over au- tecracy should make such a difference, and tt Is only natural that an nueny- nous soldier should symboliss common service in war.
 - Such service has always beeu anouy- nous, but the anonymous have not previously been so honored. Common service of an oficial character is usu- ally performed by men in unifsrul- whether ns soldiers. policemen, ars- men or sailors-who for the most part remain anonymous. When one of these millions of official servants steps out of the usual routine sad performs sx- traordinary service and becomes e hero. the public demands hIs name. Not that 1t matters; the deed is tAe important thing. but henceforth the name and the deed are associated. Otherwise the anonymity of the hero's service Is preserved.
 Some years ago Dr. Nehemiah Boyn- ton made an interesting address in which he emphasized the debt we owed to the anonymous in all wake of life. Unofficial service is but slightly less anonymous In character than that of persons in uniform. We live In an interdependent world. yet we know but a handful of people out of countless millions. Life is sailed on an anonymous sea. and it Is only once in a while that we speak . friendly ship.

Net on Supreme court RoIls.

Daniel Webster, one of the most ac- tive lawyers before the bar of the Uni- ted States Supreme court, never signed the membership roll of the court.
 Associate Justice John H. Clarke, a member of the Supreme court, never practiced before the Supreme court as a lawyer, and his name is not on the rolls as having been admitted to the bar of the court. The same is true of former Associate Justice David Davis, who. after the Hayes-Tilden contest for the presidency, left the Supreme court to serve as United States senator from Illinois. But as Senator Davis he appeared several times before the Supreme court. ,t

can do this, you win, # you fail you are lost.
 Let us restate this series. The center of character is self control. The centre of self-control is will. The centre of will is attention. But what has this to do with the body? Just his. The greatest cause of fatigue is attention. Attention tires more than anything else, and the supreme condition of attention then as far as the body is concerned is surplus nervous energy. It takes nervous energy to attend. We have no right then as Christian men and women who wish to fight an honest moral fight to disregard the condi- tions through which we can get sur plus nervous energy. That means we ought definitely to plan for it. That we see to it that so far as the conditions are within our control, we get sleep enough, exercise enough; that we avoid all forms of excess in- cluding particularly, emotional ex- cess, and that honestly, before God we try to guard within us the supply of surplus nervous energy, that vital force without which life cannot know Zest and enthusiasm, without which our faculties are not fully ours to command. To live life in any large way we need margin of moral capital, let us know that that moral margin bears very direct relation to our physical margin. .7.e.
 Have you ever thought that fati- que may be immoral? The danger that it brings to the moral life is a serious danger. Tragic is the record of Saturday nights in this country of ours. Fatigue that comes along the pathway of duty is many times unavoidable. But even so it becomes a moral liability, but he who through unnecessary and ill-considered ex- cess so depletes those vital physical forces within him, that he weakensI his defence against temptation, lessens the, response of faculties to his will deadens the power of spirit ual perception and appreciation, is thereby proving himself an unfaith- ful steward, recreant in his trust to preserve undefled the earthly temple of the living God. Let us set before us as practical everyday ideal that challenge of Browning's
 To man propose this test,
 Thy body at it's best, How far can that project thy soul
 On its lone way.
 Too often do we attempt an un- equal moral struggle without the help that Q serviceable body might give. Someone has tersely expressed the truth thus. Many a man is carrying on his morals what he ought to carry on his muscles"
 Present your bodies not a half dead offering but living sacrifice unto God.
 And finally, if a faithful steward ship of the body is necessary to meet the demands of character, so also is 1t necessary to meet the demands of serviceableness. Handicapped iu- deed, is he who tries to make his contribution to the worlds produc- tive work, with broken health and unfit physique, and in so far as lies within our power it is our sacred ob- ligation to bring to our tasks that degree of physical fitness, which shall make action, joy and insure the proper play of every faculty. And here again one need have no graver physical disability than comes from

W6GuauAP ObA86s2OA AS hhOWA0S V@Ae today and we have this choice be- fore us. We may make the most of this obligation by an intelligent compliance with the laws of our being, or we may deliberately or complacently ignore them, we may hold our trust as an asset or as 8 liability? There is no doubt as to which of these attitudes is the Chris tian one. ...
 : Modern Psychology tells us that it has hardly clearer lesson to teach than that of the unity of man, mind and body. You may like it or you may not, it makes no difference. You are not now a disembodied spirit whatever you may be here after. You are in the body and you have to get on with the body; and you have to study the conditions of your body if you expect to make such achievements as you ought to make in your moral and spiritual life The time was when men starved and fiogged the body to get the best results for the soul. That was an er- TOT. There is no virtue in emacia- tion and self torture. Plato's mot to "Body for the sake of the souP' means serviceable efficient body. "How many so called wicked things are but the result of imper- feet physical condition, writes Dr. Frank Crane, "The fretful irnpa- tient, petulant woman; the wayward intractable child; the uncharitable, cranky, grouchy man, often but ex- hibit the consequences of abused or neglected flesh. It is not the devil but dyspepsia that makes us morbid and gloomy, land another writing on the making of character says,-
 ''Even the salt of the earth may upon occasion be betrayed by noth- ing more dignified than physical ex- haustion or irritability, into judge ments peevish, uncharitable, precipi- tate; and thereby be put to blush by their worldly neighbors in whom the placid good health that goes with an easy-going life has kept the balance true" It is too much to say with one author that "illness makes man scoundreP', fer there are many who have risen nobly above disease and deformity into mental greatness and spiritual beauty, but on the other hand it is perfectly true that if, as we say, we would be free from the body", we must make it healthy. Rousseau once said, "The weaker the body is, the more it commands"
 The problem of Character, what is it? President Henry Churchill King puts it this way. Ultimately it is the problem of self control. That which distinguishes you from the animal below you, and as sane man from an insane man is in no small degree this power of self control. The animal, says James, has hair~trigger constitution" What does he mean by that? He means simply tht an animal having an impulse must yield to 1t, but you as human being can hold yo-gsalf in check and not yield to impulse. Self-control lies at~the very oontra of character. Central in self control is will and the centre of will, what is that? Attention. What must you do in order that this temp ation may not sweep you off your feet? You must be able to fix your thought resolutely upon those higher considerations which ought to pre- vail and which will serve to divert the power of the temptation. If you

1.-THE STEWARDSHIP OF
 THE EARTHLY TEMPLE
Continued from page 1

Continued from page 1
 Sometimes it is easy to die,
 Men will die for bravado or whim, In adventure display or dispair,
 Was it harder for him?
 But say, in his life did he strive,
 With brain and with nerve,
 Like a man to stand in his lot To endure and to serve?
 In his life did he fight the good fight
 Keeping faith with his Guide? Then let's talk of the life that he
 lived
 Not so much how he died.
 Present your bodies living sacri- flee. No doubt Paul meant to take the body as a symbol of the entire life and to ask that nothing be with held which could possibly gc to make that living sacrifice an acceptable one unto the Lord, but I wish to use his words this morning to suggest more particularly their literal and ! somewhat more restricted signifi- canoe, and to urge upon you a ste wardship that shall enable you to present your physical bodies as living sacrifice and within their linn it's and purpose, holy, acceptable un- to the Lord.
 First of all it seems to me we shall start our discussion alright if we think of the body as the home of the spirit; and the home has decided influence upon the life. "Know ye not that your body is temple of the Holy Spirit which ye have from God?" Any man who believes that God is the Creator of him. body mind and spirit must also believe that with some good purpose hath He set our spiritual members in the body as it hath pleased him." God does not mean to ignore the condi- tions involved in our constitution, "He kn5weth our frame"; nor may we igncre them. Thank God became flesh ia Christ and dwe1t among us was nc a divine makeshift, to help man e, rcome the ills of a situation in whi his soul was sorrowfully handici. ped, by being tied to ma terial body, but rather was it an eternal testimony to the worth and dignity of this our earthly taber- nacle. The great revelation in Christ will mean most to us as we heed most carefully the laws of our na- lures. The body may be deplored as mill-stone about the neck of ach- ievement, or it may be used and trained as an instrument of charac- ter and an ally of righteousness. 2. True enough this same Paul who urges that we present our bodies a living sacrifice, also said he had learned to have "no'confdence in the fesh", that oftentlle5 as he. sought to fight the good fight he found "the spirit indeed willinn but the flesh weak" Paul sr ' no Illusions about the weaknc@s " the flesh. He knew where to T. his confidence. "The life tha4 ,n- live in the flesh I live by faith ii 1'c Son of God", the one great hope D" every earnest life, but at the saac .imo he sought to make his bod 5-ste his higher life, and to fit il f5 hat service. He regarded his body aa 9 trust from God and he sought to give good ac- count of his stewardship. This ste
