Fine Increase In
Coca-CoIa Sales

Old John Barleycorn may have
come back strong during 1884, but
this has not stopped the popularity
OF Coca-Cola, according to H. w.
Fawcett, manager of the local
Coca-Cola plant, who reports an
increase of more than 10 per cent
in business for the year now clos
ing, compared with the 1888 figures.
These figures apply to the bot
tied beverage and are attributed
by Fawcett to the popularity of the
new family package, to an increase
of money in circulation and to the
fact that the public still likes soft
drinks.
AS a result of the increased bus
mess Fawcett is optimistic over the
1885 outlook and has just distrib-
uted a substantial bonus to all his

SERMONETTE
Love Lifts World

Text: owe worketh no III to MS.
neiehbor therefore love is the fiit-
filling of the law.-Romans f3;1o
Most of life is simple. our duty
is generally plain. Our path is
marked out for us by common
sense, by judgment, or BY the e1.
perience of the race. But there are
crises when the way IS not so clear
Then. if we are wise, we pause and
ask II there is not some law to ap-
ply In this case. AS matter CT
fact there are three laws, each Of
which is capable of very general
application to human conduct.
The first is rather difficult to
define, but is deducible from such
a piece of literature as the Fri
teenth Psalm. It has been called
THE Centleman's Psalm" And it
describes an admirable character,
"a very perfect gentle knight. .
What do we get out of such a
psalm? The picture of man who
always acts with due consideration
for the rights and feelings Of 9TH
ers. The second law may well pe
called the philosophers law. I'M
manuel Kant long ago put 1t into
specific form: $50 act that If the
principle of your conduct We're to
become universal, the result would
be beneficent." This has been call
ed the principle of universal con-
duct.
The third law, and incomparaf-
ly the greatest, is the law Of Christ
he gave many advices, many d.
rections. but only one command
ment. He criticizes no other law.
The sum and substance of Christ 5
social message Is, "Thou shalt love
thy neighbor as myself" When
Christ speaks of love He speaks Of
love as a motive, not merely as q
sentiment. The love of Christ aids
us to see IN others our kinsmen.
It embraces the whole race within
its wide sweep. This is love that
would lift the world to God; it IS
love that lifts burdens which others
turn away from; love which trans
forms lives, homes, cities, states
