It will further, ami take hold upon the very thoughts and intents of the heart. The Christian is under direct obligation to the Lord to (!- His will; and that will, he is informed, takes no tice not merely of his actions and words, but of his very thoughts as well. Philippians -I :S.

What a blessinc to be born with such a heritage, and then to l consecrated to Cod and His service! "Forbidding to Marry." St. Pan! calls attention to the fact that some, "ettimi out of harmony with the Divine arrangement, will for bid marriage. Sti'-h should remember Hint Cod originally said. "P.e fruitful i:nd multiply"; but we may well urire upon them the importance of seeinp 'hat the children they brins into the world will come into it with as much blessing as possible as free from the curse of sin as pnssjb.. I!e it remembered, however, that St. Paul iointed out that the Church of Christ h:is a different mission in the world from others. Her mission is not the propagation r.f the human species but eo-op-ratioii with Cod in the work of the present time: namely, the d velopntetit of the New Creation. The eomintr Ape will he the time for Christ and the Church. :is the Heavenly Brideerorri and the Heavenly P.ride. to take over the world of mankind by resurrect -"n. regeneration. .Now. a the Apostle snppests. is the time i' which the Chun-h is to make Tier own calling ami election sure to the Divine naiuie. that she may heroine "the Pride. th Ta nib's Wife. It is her privilege s.l.sy to carry the Message of this Ilih Calling to those wlio now nave ears to near, 'inns sue iieroTnes t 'od's ' niouthpiet e. or ambassador, iu tindiliir. caoin.j:. instructing and heip-ii.-j, all who accept the Divine invita tion, and enter into covenant relation ship with Cod through Chrhst as New Creat tires. It is in view of this important work that the Apostle suggests that those of the Church who can do so should consider it a privilege to forego mar riage, that they uiiirht live celibate lives, as Jesus did. and as St. Paul himself is supposed to have dune not that celibacy of itself need to be considered as a necessity for the per fecting of the Divine character, but that its practise will yive increased opportunity for serving the Kim; of kiims. Many zealous Christians feel, as St Paul felt, that the time is short and their opportunities few for ren dering service unto the Lord arid His Cause. Heine if marriaiie would in terfere in any measure with this tlieir highest privilege, they would frladly fore pi a measure of earthly happiness and privilege, to be more ellicient tervants of the Lord. This same thought is expressed Ly Jesus, saving. "Some have made them selves eunuchs for the Kini-'dom of Heavens sake" (Matthew that is. have denied themselves their priv ileges and rights as human beinps. in order to render the better service to the Lord. Put such a matter is a sacrifice, a privilege, and not a command, not an obligation. Whoever chooses may sacrifice, and should not be eritieiz'd therefor. Whoever prefers not to sac ritice should not be criticized on that account. To Lis own master each ser vant stands or falls. Business Ideals. We umst remember that tho Iiible has iio communication whatever for those who are not Christians. The Christian business man may to some extent be copied by his neighbors. Put his tm 11 responsibility is the matter in which he is interested most. A -btisi. ness man's ideal is the Colden Utile. "Do unto others as you would that they should do unto you." applies to his buyiiiir. his selling, to his dealing with his clerks and with his custom ers. It includes his advertising, and the ideals which he sets before his clerks. We believe that more find more the Colden Utile is cominir to lie appre ciated by ihe public, and that those who follow it will more and more re ceive a blessing. We do not mean that it will make them richer than their neighbors who may follow the other rule sometimes quoted Do your neigh bor as you believe he would do you: but do him tirst. before he can do you P.ut whether following the Colden Utile shall bring little success or much success, the business man who has given his heart to the Lord and be come a son of Cod must follow the Colden Utile. He can do no less, thou-h he is privilciM-d to do as much more as he enooses in tlie way ot te-novoleii'-es. A business man's ideals should have some bearing upon his manner of do in:r business, as well as upon the char acter of the stock he offers for sale. The Christian business man's store should be known as a place where trash and injurious thimrs would not be found. Social and Neirjr.borly Ideals. The true Christian is to reiuemlier that nothing less than the Colden Uule may be follow ed by him under any cir cumstances. He must see to it that his children, his chickens, his dogs, etc.. do not disturb his neighbors in tlieir proper rights. The same Colden Utile ret j uires of h';in that he shall do a neighbor's part for any one in dis tress, even as he would have a neigh bor do for l.im if he wore in trouble. Do .good and lend, hoping for nothing again." is to be exemplified iu the Christian, with the understanding that he is not to do lending that would im pair his own credit, nor seriously in terfere with his own obligations to his family. Moreover, proper lending would he merely in cases of necessity. He is not to be neighborly because he hopes the neighbor will return the compliment, but because from the Word of Cod he has received high ideals of a proper neighbor, and be cause tie wishes to live up to the Di vine requirement, doing good unto all men as he has opportunity, and espe cially unto the Household of Faith. The Christian mav not have time to waste in some of the social amenities common to our day. He is a repre sentative and ambassador of the Kin: of kings and Lord of lords. His time his influence, his talents, are not hi; own. They are to be used according to his judgment of the lord's will. He may not therefore seem to be as socia ble as some might desire. He will have no time to kill in games or amuse ments. He has come to a realization that "Life is real, life is earnest'; and that while there is so much sin and sorrow in the world, he mav not fritter away his precious moments in idleness or in that which iss merely pleasurable, but not really profitable, f This will not mean that he shall not take any time to look after the interests of his family in a social way and to keep in touch with his social obligations as a neighbor, it would make him digni fied and. hrsf of all. loyal to Cod. Our ideals are merely fantasies, float ing clouds without rain, until we bring them to tho point of determination until we consecrate our lives to these ideals and resolve to live in harmony with them. Here the Christian has much advantage every way, for he not only has his ideals from the Lord, but the promise of Divine oversight, bless ing, cuidance and assistance in work ing out these ideals in his own heart and in his lire.

ACTIONS SPEAK 1 LOUDER T True American Shows His Patriotism by Supporting American Measures and Not by Sarcasm. Plattsmouth. Neb., May 17, 1915. Editor Pluttsmouth Journal: Dear Sir Kindly permit me space in your paper for the following com munication, if you think it is of any interest to the public: During the present European crisis, and especially the last week, I have lead a great many editorials either for or against the stand President Wilson is taking: at this critical time, but none attracted my attention so much as the following, published by a friend of mine, and one of the old eft and most successful editors in the state, Mr. W. W. Haskell, of the Ord Quiz: "It begins to look to us that Ger many really wants the United States to get into the p-ame. If sinking our fhips, sailing in the open sea under our flag, and murdering our citizens who entrust their lives to the fate of a British ship is not enough to bring us into war, what in the name of God v ould do it? Are we cowards?" I am a great admirer of that little paper and in most cases agreed with the editor, as he is a good, honest, businesslike man, and never doubted his veracity, but in the above article I am obliged to, until he proves his sincerity. I therefore ask your good paper to submit to the editor the fol lowing pledge, gotten up by the New York Sun. just for such advocates, and if he does sign same. I will peldge myself forever to agree with my friend, whether it would be to clean out Germany, tear Wilson to pieces or to vote against municipal ownership of gas plants. I know Mr. Haskell as a man of wealth, and should he agree to turn it over to the government, it would nearly buy a good-sized submarine. The pledge: "In common justice to the president the following form or pledge or promise is proposed by the Sun for the serious consideration of all con cerned : ''In case war between the Unit- -ed States and Germany and her allies should result from the course now taken by President Wilson's administration with re gard to the German massacre of non-combatant American pas sengers on the British ship Lusi tania, I, , an Ameri can citizen by birth (or na turalization), pledge my entire fortune, if required,' and my life, if needed, for the prosecution of hostilities, I promise, on my honor, to put my person at the disposition of the United States government for military or naval service immediately " after the declaration of war or the begin ning of a state of war thus in duced. "We maintain that any citizen willing to back his sentiments with a pledge of this character is entitled to demand of the president immediate action leading to war. He is qualified to urge the administration to lose not an instant in swinging wide open the doors of the Temple of Janus. No tetter evidence of the good faith of his advice would be expected of him. The man in the street, to newspaper proprietor or editor, the former of ficial, the politician, the partisan sym pathizer with the cause of this or that one of the present belligerents, who himself is ready to enlist and is not merely demanding a war which other men are to fight and for which other men are to pay, has at this time the first claim upon the president's re spectful attention. The advice and ideas of others may be useful and de sirable to the administration, but something is lacking when the certificate of this personal pledge is not there." Yours Truly, H. Simons.

It emphasizes the importance of MALPOSITIONS of any of the tissues of the body. From the Osteo pathic viewpoint, any displacement, however minute, in the position of any tissue, must sooner or later result in an abnormal or diseased condition. Each part of the body is designed to fit perfectly the space it occupies, and any deviation from its normal posi tion results in pressure. Such pres sure may occur in any part of the body and its effects may be either direct, and felt near the point of im- pengement or reflex and expressed in some remote part or organ. It is the most import when occuring along the spine, because derangements of the vertebral or ribs effect very positively the nerve centers in the spinal cord, the medulla and the brain. These derangements also interfere with the transmission of nervous influences between the cen tral nervous system and the organs looking after some trading, ami while in the crty was a caller at the Jour nal office, where he enrolled his name for the Evening Journal for a year and will hereafter receive this paper at his home.
