Indigestion Causes
Catarrh of the
Stomach.
For many years it has been supposed that
Catarrh of the Stomach caused Indigestion
and dyspepsia, but the truth is exactly the
opposite. Indigestion causes catarrh. Re
peated attacks of Indigestion Inflames the
mucous membranes lining the stomach and
exposes the nerves of the stomach, thus caus
ing the glands to secrete mucin Instead of
the Juices of natural digestion. ' This Is
called Catarrh of the Stomach.

his horse to ride on to the next county

of us. When we analyze our motives
for doing some good deed w r e often
find self interest at the bottom. It is
not always pity for the sufferer that
prompts the charitable gifts so much
as fear of the self upbraiding we would
have to endure if we refused to give.
Of course that Is a very low motive,
but it Is a very potent one with the ma
jority of people. Now, I want to show
you that even on that low plane reli
gion has claims that no one can afford
to ignore. Godliness is profitable for
the life that now is as well as for that
which is to come. Like Joseph, 'you

a disciple of Jesus Christ Is to be strict
ly honest they think be must dress iu!
rags and have no roof which he can
claim as his own. Yet the direct oppo
site of this supposition Is true. God
has promised that those who seek first

any good thing.
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday,
today and forever. How did God deal
with Ins disciples of old? Do.‘s Abra
ham come before us dressed in rags?
Was Joseph a bankrupt? Dili Job have
to beg bis bread after he had remained
true to God and forgiven his three mis
erable friends? Did Joseph always re
main a hireling, a slave and an out-
cast? Was Daniel always a despicable
youth? Was David a perpetual refugee
in King Achish’s court? Did Monlecal
always have to bend the knee to ibe
wicked Hamad? Were only the bad ;
men of the Bible garmented in silks I
amt the good men clothed in rags?
Nay. King Solomon once w’rote, “Seest
thou a man diligent in bis business, he
shall stand before,kings, he shall not;
stand before obscure men.” That state
ment applies just as much to God’s dis
ciples as to any one else. If a man is a
true follower of God. as was Joseph,
and. like him, faithful and diligent, be
will not be kept from success by his
religion. There are cases in which ;
God, caring for the best interests of j
his child, sends adversity upon him, as ;
he permitted it to fall upon Job, that
his faith may be increased; but, taken
as a rule, we may rely upon it that the
godly business man enjoys the blessing
of God on bis enterprises.
How lie Was Paid.
Religion, curing men of dissipation
and improvidence, promotes their pros
perity. Many years ago I heard this
fact illustrated in a powerful way. The
head of the famous Waldensian church
of Italy was speaking in the Fhiladel-
phia church of which I was then as
sistant pastor. The Waldensian church
of Italy is really the Protestant church
of Victor’s kingdom. It mostly repre
sents the peasant classes. One day a
humble Italian heard that if he would
attend a Waldensian ehureh he would
be paid for doing so. He went, ex
pecting to get money, but he found
something better than silver and gold.
He found Jesus Christ. He accepted
him as Ids Saviour. Though he had
; never been a good Catholic, he nom
inally had given his allegiance to the
church of Rome. No sooner did the
priest of his town hear what the man
wasj doing than he went to the man’s
wife. IL' told the woman her husband
must 'eave the Waldensian church or
he would be spiritually destroyed. The
wife said, “Father, I have something
I would like to tell thee.” The priest
answered, “Say on.” “Father, you say
my husband will go to hell if he con
tinues to go to the Waldensian church.
I want to tell you what our home was
before he went there and found Christ.
My husband was a drunkard. He used
to work long enough to make a little
money. Then It would all go for drink.
We had no home, except a hovel. Then
he would come to that hovel when he
was drunk and bent me and knock
me down. Often, both by night and
; by day, 1 have heard my children cry-
I ing with hunger, and I had no bread.
But since my husband found Christ iu
the Waldensian church we do not live
in a hovel, hut iu a house. We have
a carpet upon the fioor. We have
enough food to eat. Instead of my chil
dren running around half naked they
now have clothes and can go to school.
Every morning he kisses me goodby
before he goes to work. When the twi
light sets in he always comes home to
greet me with a smile and to pet the
: children. When Saturday night comes
he brings me home his wages and
throws the money into my lap as he
says, ‘There, wife, are enough funds for
rent and clothing and meat for the
coming week.’ ” Then the wife, with
; tears streaming down her cheeks, said,
“Now, father, if finding Christ In the
Waldensian church means all that to
our home do you not believe I had bet
ter let my dear husband go and find
Christ there a little longer?”
Emancipation From Sin.
“Ah, yes,” 1 said to myself when I
heard that story, “true gospel consecra
tion means more than spiritual salva
tion beyond the grave. True gospel
consecration means emancipation from
sin, and emancipation from sin means
dresses for our babies and food for our
dining rooms and books for our library
shelves and carpets for our floors and
beds In which to sleep. When Joseph
gave himself in loyal service to God he
got all these. And, my friends, if you
consecrate your life to Jesus Christ you
will get all these also. Do not talk to
me about Christianity being a financial
failure. The most expensive altar at
which a map ever worshiped Is the altar
of sin. May God help us, in Christ’s
name, to be his true and faithful serv
ants, sincerely desirous of doing his
will In all circumstances, and then we
shall be blessed, whether we are In nd-
yersity or financially prosperous, as
Was Joseph.
A step further in the analysis of “a
prosperous life” we find Joseph not
only rich enough to meet his financial
obligations, but we also find him enor
mously rich In the affections of his
friends. He never seems to come near
to any one but at once he hinds him
to him with links of steel. His employ
er loves him. His fellow servants love
him. His old father dotes on him.
Even his jealous brothers, who at first
did everything to destroy him, are led
to reverence him. And. though you to
day may praise Joseph, the interpreter
of dreams; Joseph, the farsighted
statesman; Joseph, the wonderful man
ager of Potiphar’s household, I praise
Joseph, the lovable friend, for without
the love of the associates with whom
we are surrounded every worldly suc
cess is “as sounding brass or a tinkling
eymbal.”
Love is the center, the circumference,
the nadir and the zenith of all true
peace and happiness. Love Is the mi
raculous magician which can change
the deserts of trouble into oases of
joy and make eyeu “the dying bed feel
soft as downy pillows are.” The story
Is told that during our civil war a
soldier boy was dying. He was only
a boy of fifteen. “Oh,” said the lad,
“I am going to die, and there is no one
here to love me! If I only had my
dear ones here.” The nurse said: “My
boy, I love you. Let me t».ke your
loved ones’ place.” Then she stooped
over and kissed him, “Ah,” said the
boy, “that feels like love! Kiss me
again.” Then he looked at another
nurse as he said: “Won’t you kiss me
too? 1 do not think it would he so
hard to die if I could feel that you both
love me.”
the poor woman took a small piece of
dough and was about to hand it forth
to Jesus and his companion when the
dough grew larger and larger and lar
ger. At once the woman put it down as
she said: “Not this loaf. It is too
large.” Again she took off another
small piece, and again the small piece
grew larger and larger, and she put it
down. She did thus thrice. Then she
turned and said: “Stranger, I cannot
give you bread today. Go yc-ur way,
and God prosper you, but I cannot help
you.” With that the Lord Jesus Christ
revealed himself to her and said: “It
was I who made the bread grow larger.

bear the burdens of life if we feel that
those who are near at hand love us
and are sympathizing with us. Do you
not read between the lines how Jo
seph’s loved ones clung to him because
he was always true to them.
A Sa«l Story.
It is only by loving others that oth
ers learn to love us. Some years ago
a steamer was wrecked on Lake Pont-
chartrain. Among the passengers was
a family of six children, besides the
father and mother. The father was a
powerful swimmer. First be took his
wife in his arms and swam toward
shore. Then he came back five differ
ent times and took off a child each
time. But now his strength was al
most gone. Only one child remained.
Only one, and yet the question was,
Could he save him? The father swam
out to the ship and called to his young
est boy: “Jimmie, jump! It is papa,
jump!” Thu boy jumped into the sea.
All that the father then could do was
to clasp his last child in his arms, and
both sank together into a watery grave.
You say “a sad story.” .Yes, but to
me a beautiful story. It is the story
of family devotion. It is the story of
a father loving his way into the hearts
of his children and of children giving
back their love to the father. Such is
Joseph's life to me. Wherever I turn
he seems to be loving his way into the
hearts of his associates, llis heart
seems to be so big that it can forgive
every enemy and love every one, and
almost every one was compelled to
love him. My friends, are you like Jo
seph, rich in the world’s affections?
Do you love people? Do people love
you?
But Joseph was rich also in his op
portunities of doing good to others.
When a child he dreamed strange
dreams. He had his brothers’ sheaves
bowing down to worship his sheaf and
his brothers’ stars doing obeisance to
his star. When he became a man those
dreams were literally fulfilled. What
happened when he became prosperous?
Did he strut around the room and say:
“Think of what I have accomplished!
Think of how men are cringing the
knee to me!” Nay. He practically
made the same prayer of thanksgiving
which Jenny Lind, the Swedish night
ingale, made when she first found out
she had a throat tilled with golden
notes of perfect musical harmonies. He
said: “Oh, God, I thank thee for the
prosperity with which thou hast bless
ed me. With my talents may I honor
thee by serving my fellow men.” And
did he not honor God by noble, self
sacrificing service?
Picture him down iu Egypt as the
prime minister of Pharaoh. He could
have made millions upon millions of
dollars for himself during the seven
years of plenty. Did he do it? Nay.
He gathered together the corn. He
stacked it up in granaries. Then when
the seven years of want came and the
starving people began to cry, “Bread,
bread! Give us bread!” Joseph opened
the granaries and said: “Here, friends,
come and buy corn. Here is enough
bread for all and to spare.” Out of
your seven years of plenty are you
helping to care for any who are strug
gling iu the seven years of want? You
told me only the other day that you
made more money last year than any
three years of your previous life. An
swer me now this question: During all
the months of last year how many hun
gry mouths did you feed which did
not belong to your own family? Fif
teen? Ten? Five? Two? Not one,
not one! My God! Can it be that we
are the selfish Dives, caring not for
the poor Lazaruses starving upon our
very doorsteps!
JoHcpb’a Sacrifice.
Then picture the great prime minister
of Pharaoh taking his old father and
brothe.s Into the royal court and intro
ducing them there as his relatives. Ja
cob, the father, and Reuben and Si
meon and Judah and the other brothers
were nothing but shepherds. With
their flocks they were nomads. Of all
classes iu Egypt the shepherd life was
despised the most. Yet when Joseph
went up In the world nud made a suc
cess ho did not despise his family be
cause they were living a humble life.
He said, “If I prosper my family must
prosper.” He brought Jacob down to
Memphis just as he was. He said to
the king: “Pharaoh, my father has
come. If you honor me I know you will
honor him also and let him share with
me my prosperity.” Ah, it is a noble
sight lor a successful lawyer or doctor
or merchant prince not to be ashamed
of his farner and mother because they
are country folks. When Joseph went
up In life he used his success as a glo
rious means to lift all of his family.
My friends, are you and I willing to do
the same?
But the trouble is with many that
when we begin to get much then we
are apt to draw away from those we
ought to help. There is a powerful,
beautiful Norwegian legend told In ref-
I erence to this law. Many years ago,
i when Christ was upon earth, he was
supposed to have been wandering over
the Norwegian hills In the garb of a
peasant. He came to the hut of a poor
woman who was kneading bread.
“Give us of your bread for the love of
Christ,” said the traveler. With that
the wood of a ti’ee. Henceforth thou
shall be culled the Gertrude bird.”
That, of course, is a mere legend, but it
Is a legend whjob describes the acts of
many of our own lives. Like the poor
Norwegian peasant are we. The little
we might give, which God in Ins boun
ty would multiply, we withhold. We i
grudge him the wealth he has given us, j
and therefore he leaves us to learn the

But amid all his opportunities for do
ing good Joseph av^s rich in God’s
grace, *vbioh helped him resist one of
the darkest temptations which could
ever enter a man’s life. You have read
the legend of the temptation of St. An
thony? Well, Joseph’s temptations
were even worse. David upon the
housetop watching Rathsheba at the
pool was not in as great a moral dan
ger from a human standpoint as was
the hero of my text. Let me describe
to you the scene.
Kielt In Oruce.
We are in the great capital of Mem
phis. We are standing under the shad
ows of mighty obelisks and temples
and pyramids which these men we see
about us have built and are building.
Yonder are the great harvest fields
where they grow the richest grain in
the world. Here are the slaves at
work. Joseph, the poor slave boy, lias
worked his way up until today he is
the right hand man of one of the chief
potentates of Pharaoh’s court. But
as he has gone up in life until he ha
become manager of his master’s estate
he has kept all his rugged northern
Hebrew beauty, in this country of
lasciviousness the wife of Potiphar
wishes to do with him as Cleopatra
did with her paramours. When this
evil woman cast her eyes upon this
youth he either had to yield or iu dis
grace leave the master’s house uud he
encaged iu a dungeon. From affluence
he was to go to poverty, from honor
to disgrace, from a position of power
to wear a cpnvict’s garb. Aye, the
temptation was awful. But it came.
And when it came Joseph's God was
the God of his strength. My young
friend, just as certain as you go up in
the world awful temptation will come
wooing you. Her smile will be the
smile of the enchantress, but her hand
will be the claw of a demon. You will
be face to face with seeming annihila
tion. And you must choose. Will the
God of Joseph be your God in that aw
ful day?
Even the very best of men have
these awful temptations thrust upon
them. .Mr. McKinley in an address
before a graduating class said that a
short time after his election to congress
quite a number of young men wished
to be appointed to West Point from
his district. He had almost decided
to send one young man there and had
told him so. Much to his surprise, the
next day this young man sent him a
letter inclosing ten $100 bills. Mr.
McKinley was then comparatively a
poor man. At once he sent for this
young man. “Why did you give me
$1,000?” ho asked. “Because,” said the
young man. “I thought If I might offer
you that you would be more willing to
nominate me.” At once Mr. McKinley
gave the young man hack his money.
He said: “Under no conditions will 1
now nominate you. If you are untrue
to your government now you will be
untrue to your government when you
wear the United States uniform.” That
was noble. That was brave and true.
But if you had bet? oor congress
man would you have returned that
money? Perhaps not. unless! like Jo
seph or like Major McKinley, in your j
public as well as private life you were ,
and are sustained by the saving grace |
of God.
Thus, my friends, 1 feel that 1 am
speaking to some Joseph now in Poti- '
phar’s house. I know not what may
be the temptation which Is imminent.
It is black for you, awfully black. But
he of good courage. Remember, the
God of Joseph will be your God. You
may seem to be defeated and destroy- *
ed if you do the right uow. But wrong
will not triumph In the end. Put your
trust in Jesus. Keep close to him. He
will help you bear that temptation.
Though for a little while from Poti
phar’s house you may be cast into
prison, yet you shall again prosper.
Joseph, because of his temporary dis
grace, became the prime minister of
the Egyptian capital. Be patient. Be
true. Be firm for God. All will he
well. All will be well. May the God
of Joseph be your everlasting help.

REMEMBER
Another Offer For Trinity.
The vestrymen of Old Trinity church,
on Broadway, opposite Wall street,
New York, recently refused $3,000,000
for the site, which was wanted for sky
scraper office buildings, 'fills la not
the first time that a large sum has been
offered for the property, but the ves
trymen steadfastly turn their backs on
all such prospects, mindful of the his
toric associations connected with the
old place and perhaps reflecting that
the Trinity corporation, already enor
mously wealthy, does not need the
money.
I am now giving some good bargains
in Shoes, especially in Children’s and
Misses’ Shoes. Also some close prices in
