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. 4sk us about these medicines.—W# <tem. GAFFNEY DRUG CO. m>s :ji pll: -.*.

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.

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 try who have lie'i‘i soon a steam ell giln*. w ho have never learned to read a newspaper and who have never been to a v ill ago of huger population than 2ou inhabitants Von go to such a man and say.

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 Joseph ruled ami .Moses led tho <*hil dren of Israel forth from their F.gyp tian bondage and with which Joshua rocked down the Jericho walls; oil. faith, thou mighty faith, with vvhi>h Peter and .lames and Mary Magda!'* i«* bended the knee to worship i hr't; oh, faith, thou mighty, divine faith, shall we not lay hold of thee and through tin* power of the Holy Spirit save our tallen fellow men for G-sl?

[Cojiyright, 1!*07, by Louis Kiopsch.] 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.
