' ALWAYS WELL TO GO SLOW
Medicine That Has Malped Someon*
Elaa May Net Be the Thing for
Your Individual Caee.
Be careful about following the adrice
of .your friend when he recommends.
a certain medicine or some
particular form of exercise because
it did him good," advises the physical
director of a New York Y. M.
k:. a. "some men remain in good
health in spite of the medicine they
take, others try the name 'cure' and
don't get off so easy. If you wish
to try something that, cured your
friend, at least take it. in small doses
until you find out how it is going to
work in your case. The strong man
has a way which he recommends to
some one who is not in the same
class with him, and the weaker man
tries it and breaks down.
"Twelve different men each recommended
their favorite medicine
to another who was suffering from a
cold. The sufferer tried one after
the other just because his friends
had advised him that way, and because
he didn't, want to hurt anyone's
feelings. He got over his cold,
but it was a long time before his
stomach got over the experience. The
attack of stomach trouble which followed
the dosiug was worse than the
cold had been.
' What cures your friend may send
you to-the hospital. What another
can dc has nothing to do with you.
Try first in small doses any health
scheme you- intend to adopt, and
gradually work up. Keep within
r ttyB"Kne of safety. The extremist is
the one who goes to the wall; the
middle of the road is best."

Sabbath, according to a contemporary
writer, never "got aboon the
Pass o' Killiecrankie." For generations
after the reformation the Highlander
on Sunday "drove his cattle
to market, brought home his fuel,
baked his bread, fished, played shinty
and put the stone." Sunday christenings
and penny weddings were common
and the presbytery books merely
sent warnings against piping, fiddling
and dancing at them.
But in the lowlands the church
took a sterner view. The assembly
forbade skippers and sailors to begin
any voyage on the Lord's day, or to
"loose any ships, harks or boats."
Aberdonians were fined if they failed
to attend worship, the goodman and

OLD HICKORY

Modern Jacksonville Reveres
His Memory At Reunion
Spirit of Great Man Militant in Confederate
Reunion City?Why Jackaonville
Was Named in Hie Honor.
Jacksonville, Fla.?Confederate aoldlers,
the world over, revere the name
of Andrew Jackson, and in view of the
fact that their next reunion la to be
held in the only city in the South that
was named in honor of that arrest and
brave man. his services in freeing
Florida from the blight of Indian barbarism
will be of interest.
Jacksonville was named for Gen.
Andrew Jackson as a compliment and
mark of appreciation for services he
rendered to civilization in the Seminole
War There could have been no
progress or civilization in Florida but
for the work of Andrew Jackson. Conditons
in this territory in 1818, nearly
a hundred years ago, demanded the
services of a brave and resolute man.
Gen Jackson was selected by the government
as the one man above all
| others to head the movement against
j ths Seminole Indians, who had been
terrorizing the territory for several
j years and committing atrocities of the
; most brutal character.
In March, 1818. Gen. Jackson was
ordered to the site of the Seminole
War. lie invaded Fast Florida, and
in a campaign of le-t than six weeks
crushed these Indians. It is related

i up a number of Indian villages he cap

For this act he was severely censured
by his government. However, the
i naked fact is hat "Old Hickory" was
more courageous than the men who
were conducting the affairs of state
it Washington.
Karl.v in May, ISIS. Gen. Jackson
' closed his campaign against the Sent
inoles in Kast Florida. He had completely
broken their power and run
them out of the territory. They caused
no more serious trouble
During his campaign in East Florida
(Jen. Jackson obtained satisfactory evidence
that Spanish officers at Pensaj
--ola were in sympathy with the In
dians. lie promptly decided to march
iRainst them and teach thern a lesson.
The Spanish governor of West Florida,
learning of Gen. Jackson's purpose,
sent him a written protest arainst hi*
i Invasion. This protest is now on file
i anions the Jackson documents In
oil arse of the Tennessee Historical
Society at Nashville. The protest was
delivered to (Jen Jackson near t'ensa
cola on May 22. but it had no effect on
that determined niau. In reply he sent
? peremptory demand for the iuimr
iia'e surrender of l'ensacola and Bar
rancas. Jackson advanced immediate
It on l'ensacola and possessed it. Two
days later the Barrancas garrison
capitulated, were received as prisoners
of war and sent tS Havana.
Having thus snatched both Kast and
West Florida from the Indians and
Spaniards, (Jen. Jackson at once pro
ceeded to establish a provisional gov
eminent under the stars and stripes
Having accomplished this, he returned
to Tennessee, then his home.
In 1822 a number of pioneers held
a meeting here and decided to atart
the work of building a town. The viliuge
wr.s then known as the Cow Ford,
a name given to it by the Indians.

GOLDEN TEXT--"! will arise, and fro

Father. I have sinned against heuven. ami
in thv sight." l.uke 1":1S.
The parables of .Testis are marvels
of unity and condensation, yet no necessary
detail is omitted. This, perhaps
his most famous, is no exception
even though it does carry a double
lesson. Who thinks of the older
brother when this story is mentioned?
Though designated the "Story of the
Prodigal." we need to remind ourselves
that the word "prodigal" never
once occurs in the storv. The opening
santence speaks of a father and
of two sons. It is really the parablo
of a perfect father, the unveiling of
the true heart of Cod. Aguinst that
background is set off a self-centered
son lacking in natural affection. Also
alongside the wayward son is the miserly.
selfish one who lacked all the
good qualities of his brother, but who
was truly a wanderer and out of harmony
with God the Father. In the
background we see the citizens of
the far country who helped this young
Jew to his place of want, fumine and
degradation. Remember, it is our
Lord speaking to Jews. When the
Gentiles of the far country sent him
to feed swine they insulted him by
compelling him to get his living
through an occupation instinctively
repulsive.
First Fruit of Sin.
The father makes ennitr nartltion
"divided unto them." t V. r_t though
neither son had a right to demand a
partition of his estate. At the bottom
of the son's request was a desire
j to have his own way -to be independ|
ent of God. He did not go away from
home ut once, though ills heart was
already in the "fur country."

began to be in "want." There are
many attractive thiugs about this
young man. but those qualities were
perverted, they lacked control, they
were good servants but bad taskmasters.

lie saw his value, lie was
more important than the servants of
his father's home. He saw his father's
love, already manifested in what

believe that when he left home lie
had the lather's urgent plea to return.
He saw a way to escape from
. his present position. All of this after
he "came to himself." Before tlntt.

now he lias reasoned, isa. 1:18. With
his reasoning also came tin* determination

sinned. Tills is the only way for a
sinner to come to Clod. Ps. 11": "-5:

for the father saw him "si ureal way
j off" and "rail an I fell on his neck and
kissed him." Notice the kiss of reconciliation
was given before he even had
a chance to confess. In his confession
his Ilrst thought is that he had
sinned against (tftd and then against
his earthly father. The father had
not once forgotten him: he "had compassion"
even though the son was unmerciful
to himself and to all of his
loved ones. The father kissed him
before he was washed or otherwise
made presentable

Neither of the sons are perfect but
he who uttered the parable was himself
the true son of the father. He
never departed from his father,
wasted his father's substance, nor
brought discredit upon his name.
Jesus was in full sympathy with his
father's heart for he welcomed the
wandering pub'icatis and. sinners to
himself, took the journey into the far
country to find the wanderers and to
bring them home. Christ's mission
