I've reached sev enty and hope to live waiy years longer. But twenty years ago 1 had kidney trouble so bad I could not work. Backache was persistent and :t was agony to lift anything. Gravel, whirling headaches, dizziness and ter rible Urinary disorders ran me down from 16S to 100 pounds. Doctors told me I had diabe es and could not live.

A great ship steamns in from the sea anI 'e may view her as she lies still :imd quietli her berth. but upoil her decks and sides there are signs of the rough voy age, upol her prow and funnels is the salt thrown there by the high breaking waves. Men may say of her she is too harge. badly proportioned. improperly eonstrueted. her maciilners is not of the latest pattern: they may .rticise and accuse and point out defects, but there is no denying that she has plowed the surface of thousands of iiiles of deep water and brought her precious cargo of freight and passen gers safe and undisturbed to their des tination. This symbolizes in a way the position of the Church of God in the world to day. And it describes after a fashit n, too, the singularity, the unique promi nence of the Christian among the all sorts and conditions of men constitut ing what is known variously as society, the public. the body politic. Never mind what the world may have or find to s:ay against you, my Christian friend. if you do well, this well doing disarms suspicion, gains the mastery over falsehood, silences misrepresenta tion and supplants enmity with good will. If your works be good you do not need to have recourse to eulogy. notoriety-seeking or noise: the world has need of thei: men have an in stinctive respect and appreeation of everything condueive to the com mon benefit. they will win their way, they will secure their place. they, the works, not you, will exact deserved recogni tion.

St. Peter in this text was writing to Christians and churenes existing in Gentile or foreign countries and among )eoPIeS of heathen religions. Their lot was anything but pleasant, their safe ty anything but assured. The Chris tnns of those early days were common ly accused of being disturbers. innova tors, mischief-makers. of being law reakers and traitors to Caesar. of be ing atheists and blasphemers of the popular idolatry. Because the . pular hatred of them they were compelled to meet secretly, to exclude outsiders from their places of worship. and this led to reports that they indulged in wild, obscene orgies. Because of the pflrase "'drinking of the preelous blood' used in conrnection with the commun ion service, it was said that they killed infimts and drank their blood in their private assemablies. They were under conistantt suspicion and surveillance.

Not only correct lives, but beautiful deeds. In accolilting for what had inpressed and convinced and converted the world we must give high rank to beautiful deeds. The history of the Christlin Church literally tenis with them. When the pagans deserted their near relations in a plague .nd left the afflicted ones to dit like dogs. Christians fame and miinistered to the sick and dying. When the pagans left their dead unburied after a battle and I cast tLeir wounded into the streets. the Christians hastened to relieve the suffering and give the corpses decent interment. We have had some -,ery co'spicuous and very sad examples recently of men high in position and the confidence of the community. plaecd there largely because they were Christian in name and by connection. proving themselves to be utterly deficient in such a funda mental and necessary virtue as com mon everyday honesty. Bank presi dents and cashiers and- even boards of directors have not hesitated to specu late with other people's money intrast ed to their keeping and they have been found out only because they had lost all they could beg. borrow and steal. Because of the frequency of these de faleations the Controller of the United States Currency felt impelled to speak in the plainest terms to the National Bank Cashiers' Association, at its meet ing the other day. He declared that outside speculation ws the cause of the greatest number of bank failures. and he characterized speculation as the greatest financial evil of the day. He asserted with great emphasis that no man should be allowed to hold a man agerial place in a iational bank who engaged in outside enterprises for profit to himself rather than the bank. He intimates that the temptation to double dealing in such a case is hard to resist. Why if the impression be comes general that a Christian is not to be trusted, instead of breaking down the prejudice that exists in evil minds against Christianity anid the church, it will be added to and there will be not only prejudice but detestationl and( de nunciation and what's more, it will be deserved.

Local Pride. A Kansas City man who was In Omaha not long ago was In a railroad ticket office there while two women from the East were buying transpor tation to Denver. "We have four hou-rs to spend here." said one woman to the ticket seller. "Are there any 'Seeing Omaha' cars here?" "No, ma'am," was the reply. "Well, I guess we'll have to see the town on foot then," said the woman. "A man on the train said we could walk to any of the limits of the city from Paxton hotel in ten minutes." The clerk became somewhat roused. "I'll bet," lie said, showing some heat, "that that man was from Kansas City. Why," he added a moment later, "an expert walker couldn't reacT the city limits from the Paxton in a bit less than twenty minutes."-Kansas City Times. Oh, no.
