I Do Ton Open Your Mouth Like a young bird and gulp down what ever food or medicine may be offered you ? Or, do you want to know something of the composition and character of that which you take into your stomach whether as food or medicine ? Most intelligent and sensible people now-a-uays insist on knowing what they employ whether as food or as medicine. Dr. Pierce believes they have a perfect right to insist upon such knowledge. So he publishes, broadcast and on each bottle- wrapper, what his medicines are made of and verifies it under oath. This he feels he can well afford to do because the more the ingredients of which his medicines are made are studied and understood the more will their superior curative virtues be appreciated. For the cure of woman’s peculiar weak nesses, irregularities and derangements, giving rise to frequent headaches, back ache, dragging-down pain or distrtss in lower abdominal or pelvic region, accom panied, ofttimes, with a debilitating, pelvic, catarrhal drain and kindred symp toms of weakness, Dr. Pierce’s B’avorite Prescription is a most efficient remedy. It is equally effective in curing painful periods, in giving strength to nursing mothers and in preparing the system of the expectant mother for baby’s coming, thus rendering childbirth safe and com paratively painless. The "Favorite Pre scription" is a most potent, strengthening tonic to the general system and to the organs distinctly feminine in particular. It is also a soothing and invigorating tervine and cures nervous exhaustion, nervous prostration, neuralgia, hysteria, spasms, chorea or St. Vitus’s dance, and other distressing nervous svmptoms at tendant upon functional $ni4 qrganic dis eases of tl# distinctly feminine organs. A host of medical authqrities of all the several schools of practice, recommend each of the several ingredients of which "Favorite Prescription” is made for the cure of the diseases for which it is claimed to be a cure. You may read what they say for yourself by sending a postal card request for a free booklet of extracts from the leading authorities, to Doctor R. V. Pierce Invalids’ Hotel and Surgical In stitute, Buffalo, N. Y., and it will come to you by return post. Weak Hearts Are due to Indigestion. Ninety-nine of every one hundred people who have heart trouble can remember when it was simple Indigee- tion. It is a scientific fact that all cases of heart disease, not organic, are not only traceable to, but are the direct result of Indi gestion. All food taken into the stomach which falls of perfect digestion ferments and swells the stomach, puffing it up against the heart. This interferes with the action of the heart, and in the course of time that delicate but vital organ becomes diseased. Mr. D. Kaubla, of Nevada, O , taya: I had stomach trouble and was In a bad state aa f had heart trouble frith It.

It — * Los Angelos, Cal., July 22.—That diet Influences character ang that a man is largely what he eatsf is illus trated in this sermon, the preacher taking for his text Daniel 1, 12, “Prove thy servairts, I beseech thee, ten days.” “What is a vletory like?” said a lady friend to the Waterloo conqueror. “The greatest tragedy in the world, madam, except a defeat,” was the an swer. Well said, thou Iron duke. None could speak more authoritatively. The world has supposed thy heart adaman tine. But even the stones themselves might almost weep when they are drenched with human carnage. The cheers of triumph can never drown the sobs of anguish. The glittering re wards of victory caunot blind our eyes to the awful price at which that vic tory was purchased. Lord Roberts, upon his returu from the Boer war, was hailed in England as a conquer- lag chief. When he returned from Africa to London the whole nation rose to do him honor. But while the Brit ish were acclalmiug the mighty deeds of “Little Bobs,” Lord Roberts was wearing upon his uniform grief’s sym bol, the black crape. Lord Roberts’ only boy had been shot among the Af rican hills. So is it always with xvar. We praise the returning chieftains, but we cannot forget the bloody fields over which these heroes have waded and the many grave trenches they saw filled with the slain bodies of their valiant comrades. But if the battlefields of the nine teenth century were the scenes of aw ful tragedies, what must have been the horrors of the battlefields of the fifteenth, the twelfth and th" fifth cen turies and the battlefields of a thou sand years ago. In olden times the conquerors rarely took prisoners or liberated their captives upou parole, as we do now. The general custom was to slay their prisoners or, what was still more common, to sell them in to perpetual servitude. This practice was almost universal. Thus many of the nations, like the Phoenicians and the Etrurians and the Cretes and the Sicilians, made war for human cap tives as well as for gold and silver. These nations were known according to an old historian’s definition as “man stealers.” They wanted human slaves as oarsmen to man their galleys and laborers to work in their fields and men and women to be their domestic servants as well as men for chario teers. What was true of the great mar itime states mentioned was also true of Egypt and Rome and Greece and Babylon. These mighty cities of olden times all had their human auction blocks. The greater the conquests of their returning warriors the greater number of slaves to be put up and sold as common cattle In the market places. Thus, having made this explanation, we can understand why Daniel and the finest youths of the Hebrew nation were <?arrled to Nebuchadnezzar's cap ital after Jerusalem had been captured and overthrown. The Kins’. Meat. No sooner was the Babylonish king back in his palace than he called one of hi| chief otficers, Ashpeuaz by name, and said: “Ashpeuaz, I wish you would go and look over those young Hebrews whom I have brought back. Select three or four of the finest physical and mental specimens that are there. Then for the next three years take them and educate them and feed them from my own table. I want to develop these men for my own service. I want to re enforce the Intelligence of my own court with the best blood of this Hebrew nation.” The result of this command: Daniel and bis three friends, Hananlah and Mislmel and Azariab, were selected. All, this was high honor for Daniel and his companions. It not only meautTlb- eratlon from human slavery, but In time It also meant membership In the king’s council. But, alas, alas, It seems as though Daniel Is foolishly going to upset all his political prospects. When the food and the wine from the king’s table are placpd before him, Daniel re fuses them because they are forbid den diet—are unclean according to Jewish law. “But,” says the king’s chamberlain, “you must eat this meat and wine, for if you do not the king will not only punish me, but also will probably slay you. And he will surely know this refusal by your starved looks.” Then Daniel spoke the words 0f*my text: “Prove thy servants, I be seech thee, ten days, and give us pulse to eat and wap;r to drink. Then let our countenances be looked upon be fore thee, and the countenances of the children that eat of the portion of the king's meat, and as thou seest deal with thy servants.” Bo the royal offi cer consented to them In this matter and proved them ten days. You all know the result of this test. At the end of ten days the countenances of Daniel and bis three friends were “fairer” and fatter in flesh than all the children who did eat the portion of the king’s meat. Hueh today is the simple story from which we will draw our sermonlc theme And may our his tory In life be like that of Daniel, who refused to eat Die king’s meat. I^et us now look at our subject a lit tle closer. Notice that this king’s meat was to Daniel and his comrades ft oeuMiml temptation. It appealed to Daniel’s eye and nostril and palate, ft was the temptation of the banquet hall, whi.’fc not only smelled good and looked good, but It appealed to Daniel the more enticingly because heretofore be bad never had bis appetite surfeit ed by the delectable elands )f u royal kitchen. Daniel’. Temptation. The richest of foods become nauseat ing and repellent If one has too much of them. Frederick Seward tells the story that, many years ago, bis father, Secretary William II. Seward, was vis iting In Alaska. The people there wished to show Lincoln’s great pre mier all the respect they could, so they gave him a great banquet. While they were eating one of the ladles at the table said, “Governor, we are very sorry that we can offer you nothing but the fare of the country.” “But that is excellent,” said the governor. “Oh, no,” answered the lady. “We have nothing here but venison and grouse and trout. We have these so often that we are sick of the sight of them. We were in hopes of obtaining some beef by the last steamer, but we were disappointed, and so we can give you nothing but what our country pro duces.” “That reminds me,” said one of the offloers at the table, “of the mutiny which was threatened at a Florida post in olden times because the soldiers protested against being served with green turtle soup more than once a week.” So you can see that, even under the very brightest condlJlonSj the most enticing of foods palls upon the'^alfite }f they are served to^ often anjl too long ^ ... But Daniel liad never been an epi cure. He had never been one who was a devotee of sensual pleasures. He had grown up with the plain, coarse, simple and yet wholesome foo.l upon which most of us were reared ln- our fathers’ homes. He had the simple breakfast and the simple dinners and the simple suppers common to Jewish childhood. This “pulse” which lie men tions is the general name given to the leguminous plants, such as the beans and peas. etc. Thus you can see what a temptation must have come to Daniel in a sensuiwl way when he suddenly had placed before him the viands and the wines of the king’s banquet hall. Oh, they looked so good, and they smelled so good! The boy probably wanted to taste them. He wanted to feast on them. And yet, had he feasted thus and kept on feasting, he would surely have spiritually died. The meats by the Mosaic law were un clean. God had said, “Thou shalt not eat this food.” “True,” says some one, “the king’s meat may have been unclean food for Daniel, but it is not unclean for me. We are not living under the old but under the uevv dispensation. What was a sin for Daniel to eat Is not a sin for me to eat.” Oh, of course we are not asserting that it is a sin for us to eat ham or pork as it was a sin for the ancient Hebrews, although all peo ple would be better off if they did not eat the condemned swine’s flesh. But we are asserting that there is a direct connection indween what a man eats and what a man spiritually is. And we are asserting that the sins of the palate are among the very worst of all sins. They are the sins which are often the forerunners of all other sins. They are the sins which will turn man into a beast and may unkennel all the tigers and the wolves and the hyenas and the jackals of his lower nature. Beware, O man, of the king's meats and wines, which Satan Is ready to spread for us in many a ban quet hall!-The Sicilians erected an al tar ip Qerea ty < 14 e y lia 5 la . Uie goddess of gluttony. May we, as servants of the true God, never be found worship ing at this brutalizing, this mental and physical and moral and spiritual depleting shrine. Ten Thoaaand Goda. But, steppiug Into this bauquet hall, where is spread the unclean food of the royal kitchen, I find another star tling fact. The king’s meat and the king’s wine are served amid the vitiat ing atmosphere of religious liberalism. The Babylonish people were not athe ists, so called. They were deists, like the Greeks or the Romans or the mod ern Hindoos, who have 10,000 gods. They not only had 10,000 gods, but they could make a new god whenever they so willed. They could make him of stone or wood or clay or even of a man himself. It was just as easy for the Babylonish inhabitants to make u new god as It Is for the British minis try to create peers for the upper house of parliament. You remember Benja min Disraeli’s biting sarcasm. He was attending a public bauquet. By the social law of English prestige the mem bers of the English bouse of lords marched In first. After the members of the nobility had gone In Disraeli turned and took a gentleman’s arm to march in, and he said: “Come on, my friend. It is our turn now. We must follow In after my lords. But I am go ing to manufacture a dozen of these same kind of lords next week, if I live.” So the Babylonish inhabitants were not atheists. They could manu facture a new god as easily as Benja min Disraeli could create a new lord for the upper house of parliament. During the French revolution, on the motion of Pierre Gaspard Chaumette. who was afterward guillotined, the Cathedral Notre Dame was turned In to the “Temple of Reason.” Then, on the 10th of November, 1703, the young and beautiful wife of a Jacobin printer, Mme. Momoro by name, was carried through the streets of Paris in •n Ivory chair. She was l»orne upon ♦be strong arms of men. There she was crowned within the cathedral which In a few years was to see the coronation of Napoleon and Josephine. She was saluted as the Goddess of Reason. Similar to the deifying of a l»oor printer’s wife in the n arisln» capital In 1703 was the attempt to ileify King Darius In the Babylonish capital in B. C All tin* presidents and governors and the princes and the counselors and the captains of the kingdom came to the king and said, "Establish a royal statute and make a firm decree that whosoever shall ask a petition of any god or man for thirty days, save of thee, O king, he shall be cast into the den of lions.” Thus, as we bear the Parisian mobs cry, “Hall, thou Goddess of Reason, hail, ball!” we hear the Babylonish Inhabitants In the j’enr r>3S B. C. crying: “Hall, thou god king Darius! Thou art king of kings and lord of lords! Hall! Hail! Hail!” Oh, the Babylonish inhabitants were not atheists. Far from it. They were deists. They were the most lib eral kind of deists. By lbe stroke of a king’s pen they could make a new god whenever they wished. Now, It was into such a vitiating atmosphere of religious liberalism as this that Dan iel and bis three comrades went to live. The I'nelenn Food. I can hear his friends talking to him and trying to persuade him to eat this unclean food. “Oh,” they say, “Daniel, of course your God Is all right. But what is the good of being a bigot? Why are you so hidebound about this food? Why do you not worship the Babylonish gods? Why do you not theologically broaden out? Why do you stick so close to your Jewish laws? Why do you not become a student of ‘the new thought?’ ” “But what Is the ‘new thought?’ ” says Daniel. “Why.” say the Babylonish friends, “don’t you know? Have you not been reading our new theology? Why, Urn ‘new thought’ Is a beautiful belief. This Is it In sub stance: God is goodness. God is in us. TCs jire^ all part of God. Just try to think of ?;od as* a good being and try to develop all the good in you, and you will grow better and grow like God.” “But,” says Daniel, “what has that to do with the first commandment, which Moses gave to the children of Israel: I am the Lord thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt and out of the house of bondage; thou shalt have no other gods before me?” “Ob, Daniel, Daniel, Daniel,” say the Baby lonish friends, “we have outgrown all that superstitious stuff. We have out grown all the commandments and tiie Jewish dietary laws. We are the advo cates of the ‘new thought.’ In that ‘new thought’ we just try to be good, and that is all one needs to do.” My friends, cannot you hear Daniel's friends trying to get him to eat the un clean food and adopt the religious lib eralism of the Babylonish capital? Is not Satan trying to get you to eat of the unclean food in our modern Babylons by the same pernicious argu ment of theological liberalism? I am not the least bit afraid that you will become a blatant atheist. I am not afraid that you will turn your back upou Christ or upon the Bible. But I am afraid lest the insidious advance of the new liberal thought should under mine the foundations of your faith. I find it doing its deadly work In the church and in society. Men are giving up their anchorages and are drifting out on the sea of doubt toward the rocks of eternal disaster. Never let go your faith In the essential truths of Christianity. The divinity of Christ, his sinless life and his atonement on the cross, his resurrection and ascension, the work of the Holy Spirit, the neces sity of the new birth and the inspira tion of the Bible—these are tne dis tinguishing doctrines of our faith. To abandon these Is to surrender all that has made our religion a power in the world; It is to turn Christianity Into a dry, dead system of ethics. In Christ alone have we Jlfe. The Bi^le declares It. If y6u deliberately go fortS to eai oil tie unclean food In the Babylonish capital you must perish. O God, may we never become so liberal that we cannot make the words of Jesus Christ the center, the circumference, the all In all of what we should believe and how we should live! . A National Prejudice. But there Is still another fact which would have made the eating of the king’s meat easy for Daniel. The king'* food was spread in the presence of the young man’s enemies. If Daniel did not eat the meat and drink the wine which came from the royal kitchens and wine cellars at once, In all proba bility the refusal would be reported to the king’s bigber officials, and Daniel’s bright political prospects would not only be stopped, but without doubt Daniel would lose his head. “Well,” you say, that Is strange. How can this be? Daniel did not have any enemies as yet He had Just been selected for future political favoritism and bad not yet eaten his first meal In the palace.” Ah, my friends, by that question I know one fact. You have not traveled much abroad. In our country the word “clannish ness” has not much meaning. When we go back to our Revolutionary days we find that Kosciusko and Baron Bteuben and Lafayette helped to win our Independence. Then we find that Hamilton and a host of other states men who helped make us what we are were foreign born. Then we find that scores and hundreds of Inventors like Ericsson and moneyed kings like Car negie and teachers like Agassiz were also born across the sea. And thus, strange to say, the highest recommen dation that an artist or a writer or a preacher can have before the American public Is that be was foreign born. But, though our own people seem to feel that all prlma donnas who have a for eign name can sing better than our own, yet this Is not true of foreign lands. The man whom the Germans are most ready to honor Is the German. The man the English are most ready to honor Is the Englishman. The man the Scotch are most ready to honor Is the Scotchman. The same law was true of the Romans, the Greeks, the Egyptians, the Hebrew’s and the Baby lonians. The people who were not of their own nationality were always looked at askance and despised. Thus you can see the national prejudice —' .. .W*-’ which at once arose against Daniel after his selection by the king because he was foreign born. “What Jlmvc Yon Donef” “Aha!” the people cry. “Aba! If be does not eat the king’s meat we will expose him. Then this foreign upstart will remain a slave, as lie ought to do.” And yet, my friends, as I hear the ene mies of Daniel gloating about his over throw, can I not hear jour euemies gloating over your spiritual overthrow in the same way’. You enter a certain line of business. The proprietor de cides to keep bis place open on Sun day, or, what is worse, his foreman comes to you and asks you to do some thing which is not squarely and up rightly honest. “Rut,” you say to the foreman, “I never work on Sunday,” or you say: “That is uot honest. L am not going to do It.” The foreman shrugs bis shoulders and says: “All right. If you won't do it, I will tell the boss. Then I guess you will have to hunt another place.” Then all j’our enemies will cry: “Aha! We will de stroy him. Aha, aha!” What have you done? Are you today compromising j’our Lord in the presence of your eue mies? But there Is yet one more fact about this king’s meat to which I wish to call your attention. It was spread in a foreign land; it was spread scores and hundreds of miles away from the place where Daniel was born; It was spread in the Babylonish capital; it was spread so far away from home that methinks at first I can hear Daniel whisper to himself these words: “Well, what Is the difference if I do eat the king's meat and drink the king’s wine? It will only be for a shon time that I will do It. Father and mother will never hear about It. They are away off now among the Judean hills, and even If I do go back to Jen salem, why, then I will start all over again and be a consistent Hebrew, as I used to be.” But no sooner does be speak thus than I hear him say: “Nay; I will not do this. God sees; God knows. I see; I know. And I will be true to myself and true to mj’ absent loved ones and true to my God wheth er I am in the Babylonish capital or In my own dear Jerusalem or In my own father's house.” Oh, my friends, has not the tempter come to you, as I have imagined he came to Daniel, whispering: “Why don’t you eat the unclean food? No one knows; no one will know. Why don’t you eat the fruit of the forbidden tree Just once?” The Tempter a Perjurer. But, though the tempter may come to us and whisper, “Child, just once, and no oue will know of thy sin,” be lieve him not; the tempter is a per jurer. For no man ever sinned but at last that siu found him out. In that fascinating book of truvels 2 “On the Frontier,” Mr. Campion tells us how la the isthmus of Panama he tried to gather some beautiful green plants of a most delicate shade and form. No sooner would be reach out and pluck one than this leaf would become noth ing but a withered, shriveled, brownish weed. “At first,” said Mr. Campion. “I thought I was stricken with a de lirium of the fatal Panama fever, but after awhile I found that I had been plucking a sensitive plant, so sensitive that as soon as I touched one immedi ately It lost Its color and life.” So It is with sin. We maj’ think we can pluck the beautiful leaves of sin and press them to our lips to kiss them and no one will know it. But, alas, the world will soon see that we are not holding pjy; bandjj the beauti ful flower of purity, but a withered stalk of sin. No sin can be safely hid den. EveryFsln will ultimately be found out. No Babylon is so far away but the misdeeds of a Daniel will be carried back to the home land and, what Is far worse, carried up to be written down In the pages of the great book which shall be opened by the recording angel at the judgment seat of Jesus Christ. Hear It. man! Hear It, wom an! Hear It, child! Thus It Is with great Joy that I hold up before your eyes the character of Daniel for you to copy. The last time I ever heard D. L. Moody preach was about this mighty man of God. In that sermonlc picture he showed us how Daniel was able to stand with nnblanched cheek amid the gapiug mouths of the Hons’ den. But If yOu have followed me you know I have not once mentioned Daniel as the mighty statesman of Nebuchadnezzar's court. My sermon has revolved about the first great temptation of Daniel's life, when he refused to eat the king’s meat, as the first great temptation of Joseph’s life was in Potiphar's home. When these two young men were found true to God in the first tempta tions of youth the way was paved for them to become the premiers of kings So may we be true to God In the first temptations. May we be true to God In our youth. Then, whether we rise to positions of power and Influence among the great of the world or con tinue In hunxhle life, doing our duty In obscurity, we shall please him who, when this world’s work Is done, shall give to us our heavenly crown. Thus I close with the only five words I re member of D. L. Moody’s sermon. They are these: “Dare to be a Daniel! Dare to be a Daniel! Dare to be a Daniel!” In God’s name and with God's power, dare to be a Daniel and triumph on earth and In heaven. In God’s name, dare.
