SHORT TALKS BY
L. T. COOPER. ]
“HOW TO KEEP HEALTHY."
“I am not a Believer in too much medl*
cine. Don't take medicine all the time.
(>et a good to'nio
and take it until the
old vitality returns
then stop. A gen*
eral tonic and sys
tem renovator
should he taken in
the spring and fall.
For this purpose
there is nothing bet
ter on earth than
Cooper’s New Dis
covers, hut I advise
no one to take this
medicine or any
other all year long.
Give nature a chance, listahlish regularity
in movement of the bowels. Drink plenty
of water but n< t at meal time. Chew your
food very carefully and eat slowly. Sleep
with the window open, don’t be afraid of
fresh air and do not eat a great deal of
grease. Be regular at meals. Go to bed
and get up a? the same hour each day if
possible. 1 ake a bottle of Cooper’s New
Discovers pa i-.e a year and your life should
be long and healthy.
Here is what Cooper’s New Discovery
does for run-di « n people who need a tonic:
‘'I have been sick for a number of years
with stomach trouble and also from back
aches and headaches. Sometimes I became
so weak 1 could not stand on my feet. My
food did not seem to nourish me and I
could not gain strength. I felt tired to
death ell the time. Nothing! took helped
me, and hearing so much of the Cooper
medicines I decided to try them.’’
“I have taken two bottles of Cooper’*
New Discovery with the most remarkable
results. I now feel entirely well. My
appetite is tine. I sleep well, have no more
headaches and am quite strong again. I
eannot express my thanks for what these
medicines have done.” Sallie Middleton,
W57 Central Avenue, Cincinnati, Ohio.

‘•And I hey lilled tbein Up to tina briui.”
If there is any passage in the Bible
whii li teaehes Us to expert big things
from B "! it is tfie sentence wliieh I
have chosen for my text. When Jesus
Coinn al lied tin* servants at the wed
ding "i tkina of Balilee to till up flu.
water pots they d d not go grumbling
around say ing: < *li. what is the use';
What tin* gtiosts need is wine, not w:t
ter. Besides. .t**s>i^ f- not asking its
to till "lie wati*r pot. but six of them.
tlios)* si\ water pots will hold Ido
galli Us, Think of the distain*e we will
have to travel down to tin* well to get
that water! Think ot til the fun and
tin* mii'ic and tin* songs we will lose
while \\a* are gom*!'' No. those yomrg
men s^akc not thus. I'lnw obe\(*d or
ders. |f they had known what was
about to oei 'ir tin*.' would have said.
“If I'hpst <*an <*liang« tin* water Into
wine, then tin* mon* water we have
tin* more v ine we shall have.” So
they took their hU' D-ls and started off
for tl"* well. They kept emptying the
wati-r into the water pots until the wa
ter ran over the tops of the water pots.
"Ainl they iill«*:i them up to the brim.”
Tin-, di l big things for Bod and they
got big tiling' May we today learn
to have “a brimful faith." May we
exi»*et Bod to b!ess us mightily in ev
er.' department of life and in our
youth and middle age and old age and
make great preparations for tin* com
ing spiritual blessings.
Let us. in t'.ii* first place, have a
brimful laitli in reference to ottr pray
ers. Let ii' learn that prayer to God
is ti 't a narrow ledge of ne k Upon the
side of a in ght\ precipice where we
must stand tn milling and pleading for
eternal life or els** our feet will slip
and we will tumble into tin* botiomUVs
pit. But prayer is die broad invitation
Gi»l gives to !, - children to conn* and
talk with him and ask what they will,
and he will grant their nspicsts if it is
be-t tor them to In* granted Prayer i'
a protnissor n i • that Boil puts into
our hands, and w<* are encouraged to
till ,f out libei dly. Prayer i' tin* hold
we have hi tin* power that is capable
of reeroitiin.', ourselves and recreating
our de: r oia - and lowering tin* bars so
that we eaa enter into great fields of
Usefullies Privet* is tin* most vital
spiritual power we have on earth.
With it we < n eatcli the ear of tlie
Lord God Aim gl. ... and he will listen
to our petitions and grant them if it
is best lor us and for those for whom
we pray. What says tin* Bible'; Is
there any limitaroti to tin* petitions
we are to niak'* to <Iod‘; Nay. All
things will hi* granted for our best
welfare if tin* ■ petitions are made in
the spirit of .l«* us <'hrist. “Ask, ami
it shall lie given \ou; seek, and ye shall
find; knock, and it shall he opened un
to you." But. though this sweeping in
vitation is given to make our prayers
as big as heaven itself, some of the
most miserable and contemptible and
Insignificant things in the world are
those we ask in tin* circumscribed and
limited petitions wliioh we make to
God through tin* gab-way of prayer.
Narrow Ideas.
In our ideas of prayer we are Just as
narrow Ixminiaried as are the Ideas of
Home men born away back in the coun

never get beyond tin* mere animal peti
tl"Us of the lower, grosser ideas of
prayer.
Foolish Prayers.
Instead of starting with a great
sweep of hob desires to benefit all
mankmd tl ugh prayer, Instead of fill
ing \ great water pots with peti
ti( , > i’s honor and glory, we
co, | with a little thimble filled
with 'ifish desires, and we call
that prayer. Thus some of us go on
year in and year out making a lot of
miserable littie selfish petitions and
call those petitions prayer. Not for
years have we broadened the scope of
our spiritual horizon Not for years
have we made one prayer big enough
to obliterate self and take in God's
glory and honor. The way some of us
make poor. puny, sil’y. selfish prayers
Is enough to make flit* angels in lieav
on laugh wen* it not for the fact that
those players are so tragic.
Oh. that you and I could grow big
enough in divine grace to make the
prayer which Paul made when in the
epistle to tho Homans he wrote, ‘T
have gn- it heaviness and continual sor
row in my heart, for I could wish that
myself were aeenrs’od from Christ for
my brethren, my kinsmen, according
to tlie flesh." That means in plain
English: "O God. save my people: save
the Jews, the men of my own race. I
would die f< ,r them. I would even for
feit my own hope of salvation if by
that means they might l>e won for
Christ.” Do we ever make such a
prayer as that? Do we make our
prayers so big that in their desires
they will girdle the earth round and
round and embrace the salvation of
the whole world? I tell you. if we are
going to make a full use of the priv
ilege of prayer, om* prayers will have
to he made bigger than the little, puny,
selfish desires of ottr hearts.
Shall we ever grow bigger than self?
Are we living and praying for our own
personal ends? Thank God. all men are
nd living for themselvo. There are
thousands and tens of thousands, some
of them far poorer than we, who are
living and praying for others. Listen
to this remarkable history: During the
famous London dock strike of a few
years ago a young man sitting at hi'
breakfast table and reading the story
of suffering in the papers suddenly
said. - I have no right to all this plenty
while so many are starvin.. " So In*
went and drew all his namey out of
tin* hank. Then In* bought a lot of food
ami started out to find tin* homes of
the strikers, lie went to a street near
tin* docks and stopped before one of
the biggest tenements and asked the
landlady if there were any hungry
around. Sin* .* u-we red. “Lots of them.”
Then she toll the young man upon
what ♦!"ors o:‘ own house he wotiM
find those who wen* in the worst need.
Hr* went from room to room. lit some
of tlios** ro ims ?!i** men and tin* women
who were tarving would not touch his
food be. at. e their ii<*L I hors were
worse off than they, “it a i.'t that I’m
above being hefiied." s.-ij,, one gaunt,
haggard man. “hut I’ve g**t enough
ahead to keep me and e no in bread
for on** w*'*k more !f the strike ain’t
off by then ''M bike hehi and thank
you. But ‘Ii "e's wors ■ off than we
are now. n ’ they must be helped
first." .m ’ t the young man returned
to th** landlady who had directed him
among th<* starving and bluntly said,
“When did you eat anything last?”
“Oh, I had something to eat day before
yesterday. You know they cannot pay
their rents now, and 1 have to keep
them." “But you never asked me for
bread. Why not?" “Because.” said
the brave wom^ii, "I know of some of
them upstairs who have not had a
morsel of food for three days, and I
wanted you to kelp them first.” Wher
ever that young man went during that
London dock strike he found starving
men and women, thinking not so much
for themselves as for others. Thus
may we breathe forth our prayers.
May we pray for others. May we
plead for others. Like Paul, may we
In* able t<> say. “(> God. for thy honor
and glory nm;. I live and may I die.”
Let us fill the six water pots to the
brim when we lift up our petitions to
God.
Amplify Your Prayers.
Aniplifv your prayers. Make them
b.g enough to take in the necessities
of tin* whole human race. But do more
than that. Alter you have prayed thus
go lortii with the confidence (fiat God
will answer vour prayers upon a big
scale. The trollble with a great many
of us is that we pra.v big and then
plan small. We lay out our designs
for a *t. Peter's or a Milan or a Se
ville cathedtal. Then we materialize
our design* laio mortar and bri<*k by
building a little meeting house or a
village church or a roofless barn or a
hencoop.
One of the small cities of England
wished to build a large cathedral. The
citizens caii * to a famous I»ndon
architect and asked him to design one
which would cost sl.txto.ooo After the
elaborate de-ign had been completed
tie* eoinmitt'-* came hack and asked
tin* architect if in* would cut down his
design and Imild instead a church
worth sTo.uoo. With that tin* sarcas
tic architect said. "Gentlemen, cannot
you make it fio shillings more so we
can throw in a fun* spire?" Thus some
of us in our prayers have been peti
tioning God for a St Peter's cathedral.
We have laid out <nir p iyers upon tin*
most elaborate seale W*> have asked
for the conversion ot tin* world. We
have pleaded for the •mancipitlon of
the human race from the tyranny of
sin. We have asked for everything
we ought to have asked for. But
when It comes to filling up the water
pots to the brim we say: “What Is the
I use? If we can get God to answer
our prayers a thimbleful, thst is all we
have a right to expect." We ask for it
fine cathedral: then vve an* satisfied to
plan for a village meeting house or a
little mud hut. Now. my friends, you
have ne r ghr to ask God for tig
things unless you at the same time go
forward in triumphant faith, planning
to work out your prayers, expecting
God to answer your petitions in due
time
He Got the Funds.
“The grv.i. trouble with some peo i
pie." said a famous speaker I once
beard “is this: They usk God for a
certain blessing; they declare that they j
make their petitions in good faith; then
after they arise from their knees they i
never expect God to answer their
prayers. Now, when I was in tin* army
I ran out of money. I had to have a
certain amount to meet necessary ex
penses. So 1 wrote home to my father
find toid him my needs. T told him
what I wanted. I knew he would send
me that money, because what I wanted
was right to have, and my father was
financially able to meet my wants. So
I wrote to my father to send my mon
ey to a certain postoffiee, as I exjteeted
to he there In about three weeks. T’p
on the faith which I had In tny father
I vent ahead and supplied my necessi
ties and when I arrived at tlie post
otic e I got my money as I expected
Now. that ii- the way vve should honor
God. We should believe in him We
should ask big things of him. And
then vve should go forth in simple |
faith, expo'-ting that he will answer
our prayers ” So man ever spoke truer
words than tin*"'*.
The more I pondered tijwni this part
of my subject the more I remembered
that the greatest workers for Jesus
• 'hrlsf have been men who had no
financial capital save their faith. They
lived iti om* sense up to the last cent of
their income. They prayed for big j
things, and then, having deliberately
and calmly made up their minds that \
God wanted them to undertake tfig
things, they went ahead and built their
hospitals and started their reformatory >
movements, and their money came j
when it was needed, as the manna of
the wilderness came day by day to 1
feed the Israelites when they were on
their way to tlie Promised Land. Some
time ago there came into my posses
sion a book with this suggestive title.
"Tales of Trust.” It is written in the
anecdotal style. There page after page
is tilled with the answers men have re
ceived to their prayers. As I turned
these leaves over I said to myself; “If
all these stories are true, how negli
gent have I and other men been of this i
mighty power; One fact I know -if all
tin* answers that God lias sent to pray
er had been written down, if only the
instances in which God came to the I
financial help of those who were doing
big things for him because they had
aslced of him big things, I suppose that
even tin* world itself could not contain 1
the books that would be written."
Faith In Men.
But not iii i*raver alone is a brimful
gospel faith necessary. We must have
taitli in tlie men and the women by j
whom wo are surrounded if vve would j
accomplish great things for Ins honor i
and glory. We must believe that God j
can enter into tin* hearts of our friends 1
and recreate them into mighty spir- |
itual forces for good as he can enter j
into our lives and make iis mighty
spiritual agencies, i’aul writes in one
of his epistles. “I eau do ail tilings
through <’lirist. who strengthened! me.”
I’aul had a right to say that. I have
a right to say that about myself. And
I also have a right to say that about
every man. woman and child with
whom I come in contact in daily life.
Now, there is no human power which
will more quickly make a man a use- j
ful servant of Jesus Christ than the
divine faith which vve have in our
brothers and sisters that through God
they can do all things.
But the great trouble wil|i our at
tempt to reclaim men is this: When
men and women start to do wrong,
when they begin to wander down into
tin* paths of sin, the world loses faith
in these sinners. When these sinners
try to come hack to the straight paths
of purity and truth tlie world tights ,
them back and turns toward them the
cold shoulder of indifference and doubt.
And after the world loses faith in a
man, then tin* time is not far distant
when that man will lose faith in him
self. and then God pity him! For.
with a jump, he will leap over the
prei-ipice of despair. Oh. faith, thou
mighty faith, thou faith by which AIh*1
sai-rilieed and Linn-h walked and Abra
ham went forth into an unknown land
to find an inheritance for his children;
oh. faith, thou mighty faith, by which

Thinkers and Doers—A Fable.
A poet, an artist and a philanthropist
sat together and tamed. Talking was
about all they could do, for the poet
had not made much of a success of
thinking burning thoughts, and tin*
artist hu ! beau content to imagine
beautiful pictures rather than fry t<.
paint then. P.ut tin* public 'lid no*
know his ideals, so he was unappre
elated. Then, us the philanthropist
was without w *aith. he culd not dis
tribute to the poor anything besides
good wishes, which they had In alum
(lance, and good advice, which thev
did not want. While the three men
talked the d or otxmed suddenly an !
there entered the room a vaunt, ha:
gard old vv* , hi vvh( <,• years bad
weighed so h a iiv on her that she was
>>eut nearly dottide.
“I am Fan*.” she said in a hollow
voice that filled them with awe. “and
I am come to let you choose what yon
will. Each shall have one”—
She could not finish her sentence be
fore they broke In on her.
“Fame!” cried the i*«>et.
“Admiration!” cried the artist.
“Wealth!” cried the philanthropist.
‘They shall be yours,” said Fate*
“Come.”
She led the way to the door and
opened It. Then she stepped back In
bewilderment. Three persons of very
ordinary looks and actions, men who
had been earning a living while the
others dreamed, were carrying away
everything of value about the place.
“Well. I do declare.” said Fate, sort*
denly transformed from the fairy gmk*
mother to a chattering old woman, ’If
these men haven’t been and gone to
work and carried off the very things
I Intended for yon.”
And the other men h»ve them yet—
