Man Wonderfully Made.
BY REV. JOHN X. GUM.

Text: Il am :. . wonderfully made" +"
Psalms. cxXxix.l4. .-
An item in the Scientific American
states that the average mans body
would furnish fat enough to make seven
bars OF soap. iron enough for q me-
dium sized nail. sugar enough TO All
salt shaker. lime enough 10 whitewash
chicken coop. phosphorus enough TO
SUM enough for dose of magnesia
potassium enough TO explode toy
cannon and sulphur enough to rid a
dog OF fieas. All OF which Is valued
at about 81 cents
Yet how wonderful is the human
body. It Is said TO contain 240 bones,
not less than 10000 nerves, with an
equal number of veins and arteries,
! 900 ligaments. 1000 lacteals and lynn
phatics. 100000 glands. while the skin
contains not less than 200, ,000. 900 OF
pores. It would require pages TO de-
scribe the eye. the ear, the tongue, the
hand. the heart~~each being the very
climax Of completeness and adaptation.
David did not miss 1t when he said. Il
am wonderfully made"
However. the most wonderful thing
about man IL not his body There is
something more 10 him than the stuff
Of which he is made. Shakespeare ex-
presses it IN the words:
What piece Of work is man,
How noble In reason, how infinite In
faculty:
In apprehension how like an angel:
In comprehension how like god"

why the older women in our families
have such depressing aversion to
cloudy skies and watch the barometer
with such dread of any signs of rain is
because Of an early acquired rainy-day
complex due to the unbecoming and
