While on a visit to my j brothers I had a good chance to try Postum Food Coffee, for they drank I it altogether in place of ordinary coffee. In two weeks after using Postum I found I was much benefited, and finally ray headaches disappeared and also the indigestion.

While abstaining trom intoxicating liquors, Mr. Lord has also abstained from using tobacco. On one occasion an old lady advised him to take to smoking, saying that a minister could think better with a pipe in his mouth. The reply was characteristic of the man: "No," he answered, "if that is where thought comes from, I would rather not think at all." This venerable minister takes his turn with other pastors in conducting services at the Horncastle Workhouse on every Wednesday, and not long ago he was engaged in preparing a new lecture on temperance. He is'a living example of how a man, by bard v/ork and careful living, can be preserved to a ripe old age. Stand by your own opinions.

Bound to Attract Attention. This idea has led many an advertiser on to the rocks. No one, of course, will question the fact that an advertisement must be seen to be read, but that is very different from its strength, lying in the fact that it attracts attention. Suppose it does. Attracting attention is simply one of the many incidental points in a good advertisement. The vital point is to inspire confidence and a desire to buy. Take, for example, a dyspepsia cure. What is the use of attracting people who never have dyspepsia? The dyspeptic does not have to be hunted?he is doing the hunting; there is nothing he desires quite so. much as to find a means of curing himself. He not only reads, but looks for every advertisement on the question?he reads them all, but he only tries one. He tries the one that is so written as to inspire, him with confidence. A striking picture which forcibly illustrates one of the strong points of the reading mattef is of great aid to the advertisement, but better no pictures at all than one which simply attracts attention and ?nothing more.?Our Wedge. i.

Y.?Preaching at the ' Irving Square Presbyterian Church, 1 Hamburg avenue and Welrfield ' street, on the above theme, the pastor, Rev. Ira Wemmell Henderson, ; took as his text John 1:4. He said: Last Lord's Day we discussed in enmp mpnsnrp anrl mannpr thp fart of death. To-day we shall discuss for the moments that we are together the fact of life. The reality with which we have more presently ar.d immediately to deal. Life is among the mightiest realities with which humanity is famili&r. It thrills and suffuses every living one of us. It energizes all that is active and moving and sentient round about us. It is at the source of all that is; at the centre of all creation. It is divine, for it is of God and imparted from Him. It is real and the one thing in all the world of which wo are conscious. For we see it outworking itself into the pulsating, throbbing universe about it. All nature sings the praise and manifests the force of life as it chants the glory and the might of God. In it we live and move and have our being. It is at the centre of humanity's existence. All of which is trite and obvious and old. There is not much that is new that we can tell about concerning life. For the primal man knew Ufa in itc fjillnoca snH its as do we. He heard the so;igs of the feathered host and witnessed the manifestations of the majesty of Jehovah as He revealed it in the heavenly galaxies and expressed it in the varied forms and the diverse beauties of nature. The primal man may not have been so familiar with so many of the actual laws operated In life as we are. He may not have been so conscious of the subtler forms of life that modern scientific investigation the revealed to the world of today. But taking in the broad we may safely say that there is not much that is new that we can say about life. In fact, life is so intangible that it Is in reality properly indefinable. We cannot define life exactly. We may appropriate a definition, but we cannot compass in the forms of finite speech the fullness of life Itself. For life is divine and limitless. Language is finite and circumscribed in its scope and possibilities. Life knows no bounds. Language is confined. Life is the creation of God and is coextensive with Him. Language is the method of human intercommunication, and as such it is hemmed it. 1 : V, W11LUL1 UlfcJ liUMZ,UiI3 U1 llumauii,/. Life per se is intangible. It is as intangible as it is ultimately indefinable. We may/touch a man's hand that is sentient with life; we may look into his eye that is alive with life; we may hear the sound of his voice and witness the exhibition of his strength; we may see the various expressions of the life that vitalizes him. But we do not see his life. We may roam the fields and sail the seas and climb the hills and till the pastures till God calls us home. We may see the evidences of life, but life itself we do not see. Life Is intangible. We may know it in its manifestations and through them. But we shall not know life?that mysterious, wonderworking energy that enlivens us? until we enter into the presence of Divinity hereafter. For life is as intangible as God. Life is indefinable. We may define life in the terms of life's expressions. Whether we see life in cloud or tree oV drop or bud, this is ever so. Far th<* beauty of the cloud is not the life that brings the beauty into being. The grace and dignity and charm that is manifest in humanity is not the life that animates humanity. We may define human life in the terms of life's self-expression, through the medium of humanity as we may describe its manifestations in the natural world about us. But when all is said and done, to define life in the terms of its manifestations is not entirely to define life. For life is more than its manifestations, as is God. Life is more than what we see and know of the expressions of life. And yet, for the sake of definition and in the interest of the culture of the moral and spiritual life of man, it is not really necessary that we shall be able to do more to-day than define life in the terms of its expressions and relations. For it is not necessary to know all about the constitution of the world in order to live happily within it. It is not needful that we shall know all about the inner and hidden laws of electricity in order to ride on an electric car or to enjoy the illuminating power of the electric light. It is not necessary that we shall be able to define God with comprehension and finality in order to draw near to Him and to enjoy the pleasures of communion with Him or enter into the realization of the potency of His love. Not otherwise is it with life. We may not understand it all, we may not be able to define it "with finality, we may not be competent to penetrate its mystery, but we know that it is, that it is central in ourselves and in our society; we are aware that we are in the midst of it; we view its manifestations and experience its expressions. We may state our experiences and the results of our investigations and observations in the terms of humanly understandable speech. And that is enough. We shall know more. But tnat is enougn ior now. We may, therefore, define life in the terms of opportunity, responsibility, possibility, divinity. Life is definable and to be grasped in the terms of opportunity. To be alive to have a chance. A chance to be a man, to do a man's work, to follow in the footmarks of the Almighty as we tread through life, to be kind, to be gentle, to be noble and pure and holy. Existence correlates opportunity. To be a live man is to be a man divinely gifted. For the whole world is the field of living humanity. And opportunity is not only within the reach of every living soul. It forces itself, whether we will or no. unon us. It is insistent. I It is inescapable. It is omnipresent. Whether our position be high or low, our labor great or inconsequential, our capacity much or small, opportunity enters into the sphere of our activities.. It dominates our vision. He is a dull man who cannot hear the insistent call of opportunity to the soul. We may in our wilfulness close our ears and shut our eyes to the entreaties of opportunity. But .we shall be held to account Dy <ioa. Life is determined in the terms of responsibility. To be alive with ) pressing and eager opportunity at 1 hand is to invested with responsibil- i Jty. For .the opportunity implies our 1 . - - ' . . y -T v v.' . '' : . i# ibility to use It. For God never ;ends opportunities to men that they ire unable totally to use.

But upon every man to ,whom the golden opportunity comes is laid the responsibility to utilize that chance to the glory of God and to the best of his Dwn ability. The church, not otherwise than man, is under compelling responsibility to make use of the opportunities that are hers. She cannot still the appeal of those opportunities: she ought not to deny them; she ought not to endeavor to avoid or evade them. She should gather the opportunities to herself with joy and welcome tho responsibilities thereto attendant with happiness unfeigned. Life is determined in the terms oi possibility. That is to say, that life is hope. "While there is life there is hope," is no mere eaten pnrase. 11 is profound philosophy in a sentence, For live men who are really living are expectant. They look ahead, Their faces front the future. Thej are interested in that which is unattained, that which may be achieved that which is not yet realized. Foi life is full of possibilities. And pos' sibilities made progress possible. Tc be alive is to. progress. But when there are no possibilities there is nc progress.

Dr. Dixon il lustrates the thought of being fillet with the fulness of God: "Standing on the deck of a ship ii midocean, yoti see the sun reflectec from its depths. From a littlo boa on a mountain lake you see the sui reflected from its shallow waters Looking into the mountain spring not more than six inches in diameter you see the same great sun. "Look into the dewdrop of th< morning and there it is again. Th< sun has a way. of adapting itself to it! reflections. The ocean is not to< large to hold it, nor the dewdrop to< small. So God can fill any man whether his capacity be like th< ocean, like the mountain lake, lik< the spring, or like the dewdrop Whatever, therefore, be the capacity there is opened up the possibility o being 'filled with the fulness o God.'
