A dolioato and difiioult duty is by Dr. Talmago in this disoourso urgod upon all, and ospooially upon thoso givon to quiok tempor; text, Kphosians iv, 26, "Bo yo angry and sin uot." Equiposo of tompor, kindnoss, pati onoo, forboaranoo, aro extolled by most of tho radiant pons of inspiration, but my toxt contains that whioh at lirst sight ?B startling. A oortain kind of angor is apnrovod-ayo, wo aro oom mandod to indulge in it. Tho most of us havo no nood to oultivnto high tom por, and how of ton wo .say things and do things under affronted impulso whioh wo aro sorry for whon porhaps it is too lato to inako cifcotivo apology! Why, thon, should tho apostlo Paul dip his pon in tho ink horn and traoo upon parohmout, af torward to bo printed upon papor for all ages, tho injunotion, "Bo yo angry and sin not?" My toxt oommonds a wholosome in dignation. lt disoriminatos botwoon tho oifonso and tho offondor, tho sin and tho sinnor, tho crimo and tho crim inal. To illustrate: Alcoholism has ruinod moro fortuno H , blasted moro homes, do stroyed moro souls, than any ovil that I think of. It pours a rivor of poison and fire through tho nations. Millions havo died bcoauso of it, and millions aro dying now, and others will die. Intomporanoo is an old sin. Tho groat OyruB, writing to tho laoodomonians of himaolt, boasted of many of bia qualitios, among othors, that ho eould drink and boar moro wino than his dis tinguished brothor. Louis X and Al oxandor tho liroat died drunk. Tho parliament of Edinburgh in 1661 ?B oallod in hi?tory "tho drunkon parlia ment." Hugh Miller, first stonemason and afterward a world renowned geolo gist, writes of tho drinking habits of his day, Baying: "When tho foundation was laid, thoy drank. When tho walla woro lovolod for laying tho joists, they drank. Whon tho building was iin ishod, they drank. Whon an approu tioo joined, thoy drank." In tho oigh tconth oontury tho givor of an on ter tainmont boastod . that nono of tho .guests wont away sober. Noah, tho first ship oaptain, was wrooked-not in tho ark, for that waa safoly landod hut ho was wrookod with strong drink. Evory man or woman rightly oonstruot od will blush with indignation at tho national and international and homi sphorio and planotnry cunio. It is good to bo arousod against it. You como out of that oondition a botter man or a bottor woman. Be yo angry at that abomination, and tho moro anger tho moro exaltation to oharaotor. But that arousod fcoling booomos sinful whon it oxtonds to tho viotim of this groat evil. Drunkonnoss you aro to hato with a vivid hatrod;but tho drunk ard you aro to pity, to help to oxtri oato. Just tako into oonsidoration that thoro aro mon and womon who onoo woro as upright as yoursolf who have boon prostrated by aloohohsm. Per haps it oamo of a physician's proscrip tion for tho relief of pain, a rcourronoo of tho pain oalling for a continuance of tho romedy; porhaps tho grandfather was an inobrinto and tho tomptation to inobrioty, loaping ovor a gonoration, has swoopod on this unfortunate; por haps it was undor an attompt to drown troublo that tho benumbing and naroo tic liquid was sought aftor; porhaps it waa a vory gradual ohaining of tho man with tho bovorago whioh was thought to bo a sorvant, whon ono day it an nounced itsolf mastor. Bo huinblo now, ' and admit that thoro is a strong prob ability that undor tho samo oiroum stanoos you yoursolf might havo boon enptured. Tho two appropriate emo tions for you to allow aro indignation at tho intoxicant whioh enthralled aud sympathy for tho viotim. Try to got tho sufforor out of his prosont environ ment; rooommond any hygienic relief that you know of and, abovo nil, im ploro tho divino rosouo for tho strugglo in whioh so many of tho noblest und grandost havo boon woratod. Do not. givo yoursolf up to too many philippios about what tho man ought to havo boon and ought to havo dono. While your ohcok flushos with wrath at tho foo that has brought tho tuin, lot your oyo bo mbistonoa with toars of pity for tho sufforor. In that way you will havo fulfillod tho injunotion of thu text, "Bo yo angry and sin not." Thoro is anothor ovil tho abhorronoo of whioh you aro all oallod to, and it is on tho inoroaBO-tho gambling prao tioo. llooont dovolopinontB show that much ot' this devastation is hoing wrought in ladios' parlors, lt is au ovil whioh Bomotiincs is as polilo and graoious as it is harmful, ludocd, thoro novor woro so many pooplo try iug to got monoy without earning it. But it is a haggard transgrosHion that oomos down to us from tho past, blight ing all its way. I havo soon in tho archives of tho nation in this national capital a largo book in whioh ono ol' tho carly proBi donts of tho United States kopt an ao oount in his own handwriting of gains and losaos at playing oards--on ono pago tho gains and on tho othor tho london, and thr.ro aro many pages. In othor days many of national reputation wout from tho halls of ongross and tho aonato ohambot to spond tho night in notorious gambling saloons. Ono of tho abl?st mon of tho centurion, ' Oharloa Pox, got roady for his speooh against "Tho Potition of tho Olorgy" by sponding 22 hours at tho gaming table Irving's lifo of Olivor Goldsmith says that tho groat poot lost ?30, all his earnings, in a short tour to soo tho world, Gibbon, tho author of "Tho Deolino and Pall of tho Roman 10m piro," carno to his own deolino and fall thiough gaming praotioos and in n lottor in 1776 said: "1 havo undone myeolf, *nd it in to no purpoao to oon* ooal fro -n you my abominablo tn&dnoaa aud folly.

Thoro is auothor ein that wo sro ofton tiuioa oallod to bo angry with, and that ia fraud. Wo ali liko honesty, aud whon it in saorificod wo'aro vohomontin donunoiation. Wo hopo that tho dotoo tivou will soon oomo upon tho traoks of tho absconding bank official, of tho burglar who blow up tho Bato, of thc olork who skillfully ohanged tho figures in tho nooouut book, of tho f alaifior who scoured tho loan on valuoloas proporty, of tho agont who booauao of his por oontago wrongfully admits a mun to tho bonofit of a lifo insuranoo policy whon his hoart is ready to stop and who comos from an anooatry oharaoloristioally short livod. Ono art of fraud told of in big head lines in tho morning papers rightfully arousoB tho nation's wrath, lt is tho intoroat of every good man and good woman who roads of tho orinio to havo it exposed and punished.

Solon I i?o Sanitary Regulations Antici pated in the Hffosaio Law Tho roligion taught by Mosos, that groat law-givor, lays groatost stress upon propor lifo-conduct as tho meaos Ot' prolonging lifo and tho oojoymont of it. 4'You shall obsarvo thoBolaws," Mosos taught, "that you may livo long." Ho did not command to bo* liovo this or that, nor did ho point to reward and punishment in tho lifo to como, but ho laid down rulos for con duot in his lifo and ordained punish ment for tho violation of those laws. Nor must wo overlook tho faot that ro ligion no defined by tho laws of MoaOB involvod all laws for tho govornmont of man as inc ividual and as member and integral part of tho Stato. All laws woro promulgatod in tho namo of God, tho laws of days of rost and fes tivity as woll as sanitary regulations, m I Tho groatorknowledgo wo havo gained through our ability of deoiphtring tho libral ion of ouuoiform tablets and luor oglyphio modioino books oonvinoos us that many of tho sanitary laws con tai ned in tho Pontatouoh havo boon obsorvod by tho Egyptians, Babylon ians, Assyrians and othor Semttio na tions previous to tho oxiotonoo of tho Israelitish nation, but no nation has lived in suoh oloso conformity with thoBO lawo as tho Jows, and by tho ovorwholming majority of thom aro Btriotly obBorvod to this day. When ovor wo find in tho Mos ?io o jdo a law prohibiting tho drinking or oating tho I blood of animals because blood is tho nophesb, tho lifo, wo may assume that tho law givor know tho intrinsic cssonoo and proportion of blood, tho rapid ohomical change whioh tskes .placo thoro in af tor death, tho ~>tomaino poi soning of which it is thc cause, tho poison whioh it gathors from tho do ocaaod bodily organs and which aro transforrod to human body whon takon as animal food. Wo may safoly asiuaio, thoroforo, that tho ritual modo of slaughtering praotiood by tho Jows sinoo timo immemorial has boon found tho best safo guard against tho trans fer of disease from tho moat of ani mais used for food, and whioh also ac counts for thoir greater immunity from opidemios whioh dooimated largo popu lations among whom thoy livod. Tho faot in woll ostablishod that tu boroulosis, whioh is tho groatost scour go of modorn timos, is largely duo to tho transforonoo of tho germ from tho meat and milk of diseased animals. 15 of oro lindern hygiouioroguiation ovor iosiBtcd upon tho introduction of any mqdo of inspecting moat of animals provious to its offer in tho i ublio mar ket for consumption tho Jows had mado it obligatory upon thoso who woro au thorized to perform tho slaughtering of animals to examino oioeoly and caro fully tho oaroass, to seo whether tho lungs woro sound, whether tho vital organs woro froo from disoaso, so that health WAU not endangered by tho con sumption. Tho slaughtering and in spoeting of animals was not intrusted to tho iirat oomor. It was performed by persons tratnod and educated for tho offioo; thoy had to pass an exami nation as to thoirknowlodgo of anato my of animals and of tho ritual Jaws proscribed for tho poiformano* of their duty. Tho Talmud, a work tho rodna tion of whioh has boon oomplotod somo sixteen hundrod jours ago, eon tai ne oxtousivo treaties on tho subject and disolosos a wonderful knowledge of tho anatomy of tho animal. As muoh stross is laid in modern days upon tho propor observanoe of a propor diet for tho prosovation of hoalth as upon tho uso of drugs. Tho JOWB who livod Htriotly in oomplianco with tho dietary laws found in thom protootion against inf notion by'many of tho miorobos and baotoria whioh goo-1 orate disease. Thus was not only a thorough inspection of tho oaroass of tho bovino killed for tho uso of man re quired by tho roligious law, bub ovon fowls woro oxaminod and if any inter nal injury was found of a oharaotor that would havo produood their natu ral death, tho animal was declared unfit for food. As a protootion against dolo torious effect of miorobos and baotoria, though not known by their toohnioal names, it was oommandod to thorough ly rinso horries and all fruits, legumin ous and othor vogotablos, in water to purify thom from all par?sitos and tho dust particles whioh mado thom dan gerous to hoalth boforo oating thom when raw.
