A Sermon for Today
A Man Without Defense.
By REV. JOHN r. GUM.

"He that hath no rule over his o,pn
spirit is like city that is broken
dolUn, and iCithout fDalls" (Pro0erbs,
ErU.2S).
Who is the man that yields to the
temptation to steal? He is the man
who has not subdued the spirit of
covetousness. Being under the sway
and power of the covetous spirit, he
is without defense when the tempta-
ton to steal attacks him.
Our jails are filled with men who
are there because they let the passion
for pelf run away with them. Failing
to conquer this passion, tempta ton con-
quered them. Having no rule over
possess, when they were faced with
the temptation to defraud or steal, they
were 'like a city that is broken down
and without walls
The same thing applies with regard
to all other temptations and evil forces
that attack men. Men are overcome
by these temptations and evil forces
because they have not overcome them
selves. 1t Is because they lack the
power of self-control that men are
weak and defenseless in the presence
Of the powers of darkness and evil.
If you want to know why we are
having today so many embezzlements
and forgeries, so much thievery and
swindling, so much drinking and de-
bauchery, so many scandals of domestic
duplicity and infidelity, and so many
other outrageous and nasty things. here
is the secret of all--the failure of men
to fortify themselves with strong de-
fense of self-control and mastery over
their passions and desires
Most powerful is he who has him
self In his power" wrote Seneca. SINH
larly Shakespeare said: Better con-
quest never canst thou make than arm
thy constant and thy nobler parts
against giddy, loose suggestions" The
man who fails in this, is man without
defense.

out of the house and leave the children

everything with my mind, and the
things that course through my head are
so real that there Is nobody who can
tell me they aren't going to happen. But

little girl about 10 or IL had nervous

would make me start right in again.
She had three of her own children and
if they did anything wrong she would
beat me for not watching them. On

"ONE WHO HAS SUFFERED"
Reply.
This incredible tale leaves room for
brief comment only. Only an excep-
tionally vigorous nervous system could
come through such q childhood with
out scar, and the scar on the hand
is nothing to the scar on the sensitive
soul. Yet many, young and old, must
forget the past and start afresh to
build up new life on what Is salvaged
from the old.
Here we have presumably hysterical
girl made definitely more so by inhu-
man treatment in childhood. Without
that constant and terrific shock, one
may presume, she would have lived q
fairly normal life with no more hys-

The Poor Queen

I've read a book, to my distress,
about Old England's Good Queen Bess.
the greatest monarch, it is shown, the
Britishers have ever known. Tt panied
me much to read the tale, because the
poor old Queen was frail, and every
sort of ache and pain disturbed her
great eventful reign. She never knew
happy day in which no ailment came
her way. Her teeth were yellow and
decayed since she was but a little
maid; their dire condition was crime,
her face was swollen half the time, and
through long nights she walked the
floor and walled and groaned and wept
and Swore. No doubt her fierce, de-
caying fangs caused all the pains that
came in gangs, and poisoned her from
head to toes, and were the root of all
her woes. The power of Bess was alb
solute: in all her realm was no galoot
who dared to argue or deny; she let
men live she made them die. She
was the government in fact, authority
entire, intact. When she said go"
her subject got: when she said Come" :"
their haste was hot. When she said
Hang that skate for me-" they strung
him to the gallowstree. But she could
never thus Command dentist with a
skillful hand to draw the teeth that
racked her jaws and were of many ills
the cause. There was no doctor then
on deck who'd note the anguish in her
neck, extending upward to her wreath,
and prove it came from rotting teeth.
They used to bleed her now and then,
Outrageous scientific men, they gave
her lotions, loads on loads, made up
of bark and powdered toads. They
tortured her in every way that was in
vented in their day. And nowadays
the ailing maid can summon science
to her aid, and have, within an hour
or two, such help as Queen Bess never
knew. WALT MASON.

Electrical Costs.

The telecron or electric clock is the
latest electrical appliance to be intro
duced into the home OF course, with
current being used every hour of the
year many of us thought certainly this
clock would be expensive to run. We
were amazed to learn it cost about a
dollar year.
This fact doubtless has aroused cur
interest in other electrical costs. 1t is
only right that we should know what
each electric fan costs to rotate and
what refrigeration costs and what other
electrical appliances cost per hour or
per average year of use.
A 12-inch fan operated for 500 hours
costs about 50 per year. basing the op-
Grating cost on rate of about cents
per kilowatt hour That rate. by the
way, is the national average. OF course,
smaller fans with smaller motors will
cost proportionately less.

comes to some $2.15 for so hours of

One Mother Says:

Little Patsy used to be so afraid of
the water that it was a real chore to
bathe her, instead of the delight I had
when her brother Jack was baby, for
he always loved bath time. One day I
happened to pass, a sporting goods store
and saw in the window gay array of
colored bobbers which fishermen use on
their lines. What fine toy for baby's
bath, and in went and bought good
ly assortment of them. When I threw
them into the bath the next day and
they fioated around so gayly baby was
perfectly delighted with them and now
