Loyalty to *he Kingdom requires benevolence toward all men. Five hundred years before Christ, Con fucius had said that upon the word, “reciprocity,” the whole of life may proceed, that what man does pot desire he should not put before ~ -m s. There is a vast difference oe neen this teaching trf Confucius ana the Golden Rule given by Jesus. The best of life is not gained by merely abstaining from doing wrong; it is to be gained by doing good. Men will be known by their good deeds, even as a good tree is known by its fruits. And ’tis useless to pretend, to say unto Jesus, "Lord, Lord.’’ For at the last Jesus will say unto those whose lives have been devoid of good, "Depart from me." ' Good men learn the word by do ing the word. They build their houses of character upon a rock and they withstand all the storms. But they who hear but do not fol low the word are building upon tl>e shifting safida—in the evil day their houses will fall and great will be theft faU. “I don’t see how anybody could keep going if they felt any worse rundown, nervous, and fagged out than I did, and I have only Reton ga to thank for feeling so much better now,’’ declares Mr. T.

Discussing his case Mr. Carr gratefully stated: "For years it seemed to me 1 scarcely ate a meal that didn’t dis agree with me. Many a night I sat up the whole night through. I felt so nervous that I could hard ly stand the slightest noise in my home, I had to use powerful laxa tives, and I felt so rundown that I sometimes thought nothing would ever get me to feeling good again. “Retonga gave me prompt re lief.
