THE QUIET HOUR
T
Medical Testimony Says That: ;
Thv use of tobacco is prompted by
the unconscious desire to tear down
danger signals that Nature wisely
erects.
Of nearly 12,000 volunteers for the
British army, only 1,200 were able to
pass the required tests, and the chief j
caus ■ of physical disability was of-1
fieially and medically declared to be
smoking.
Of 07 candidates for the medical
depaitment of the U. S. Army, dur
ing the Spanish-Ameriean war, 43
were rejected because of tobacco
heart, officially and medically so de
clared.
Tobacco causes a slowing of the
heart, and an increase of blood pres
sure equaled by the infection of only
one other drug.
Tin great increase, today, of death
among men from apoplexy finds par
tial < xplanation in tobacco.
Tobacco kills; it is destructive to
all forms of vegetable and animal
•“life.
Tli ■ common notion that smoking
is advisable because it is destructive1
to disease germs is exploded by the|
overlooked fact that any poison that
is destructive to germs is equally
destructive to lung tissue.
Th.- tobacco desire can be diminish
ed or destroyed by a change in diet.!
Tb prayer of faith is as much a
factni here as everywhere else In
God’s world.
The Bartenders' Choice.
A convention of bartenders wasj
held at Euclid Beach Park, one of j
the 'cry few ‘dry” pjeasuro resortsj
in Cleveland. There were several!
hundred of the liquor dispensers!
present. An attache of the park ask
ed one of them; ‘‘Why did >ou fel
lows pick out Euclid Beach Park,
a temperance resort, for your, con
vention?” The reply was: ‘‘Because
we ere up against the bums every
working day of our lives, and when
we take a day off we wantto get clear
of 'he crowd." Any man who can
read English can see the moral in
that reply.—Cleveland Press.
When it Is Different.
, Now and then one'hoars that old
“ bit of cant: “If you will let liquor
alonf, it will let you alone.” Back
in Huntington, Pa., the other night
four boys, some of them respectable
citizens, purchased liquor, despite
their youth, and while intoxicated set
three different fires in the night.
One church was burned, another
bad'y scorched, two planing mills
destToved, four *or five houses wiped
out and several women made ill by
' their narrow escapes from being
burnt d to death in their beds. They
let liquor alone, but liquor didn't let
them alone. A Chicago street car
conductor ordered a drunken man
who was insulting women and child
ren, to get off the car. He was shot
dead In a Massachusetts town a
woman and her three children were
killed by the husband and father,who
came home in a drunken rage. In
stances like these can be picked from
the newspaper columns every day.
They prove that liquor doesn't let
alone all those who let it, alone, that
its use is dangerous to the safety of
citizens, and that every reasonable
effort to curtail its sale, such as
dos'ng up the saloons, ought to
have the support of the major part
of every community. An institution
like the saloon has no reasonable
excuse for existence, and a commu
nity that would decline to furnish dy
namite and torches for incendiaries
ought to hesitate about licensing the
^ places where similar tools of des
truction are forged.
The Boy.
Your boy is one of the common
sort., like the balance of us. The
greater part of what, he is has
com-' to him through the folks who
have been in his life.
.lust here is where you will misun
derstand mo, you mothers, if you are
not careful. You have been of his
life; but not init. It is the very
rare mother who is a vital and con
trolling influence in her boy’s life
after lie becomes twelve or fourteen
year? of age. His love continues just
as intense, but, the companionship be
tween; you and him, which up to this
time has been so natural a part of
his l*fe, becomes less intimate. This
does not mean that he loves you less.
His life is enlarging, and as he turn
ed away from the nursery play and
sought the companionship of knee
trousers, just, so he now turns to the
man whom he instinctively feels to
. be himself matured.
/ The kind of a character he develops
during these days depends very much
on companionship and very little on
the high Christian ideals of the fam
ily and strict discipline. The height
and breadth and other dimensions of
religious ideals never concern a nor
mal boy. The force that reaches
him and builds his character is the in
fluence of his chums. Now there is
no reason in the world why a man
should be deprived of the fun of
chumming with his boy. Neverthe
less there are some fathers who
don'f expend a great deal of energy
in that kind of recreation. The loss
is mutual, though the boy suffers the
most
This relationship between boys
and fathers is so vital that a father
ought to be bold responsible for the
character of his boy. The greatest
privilege conferred upoh him as a
father is his opportunity to develop
a good boy. He ought to regard his
job of rearing the lad in much the
same way that he considers the
twenty acres he 1ms put incorn. If
certain conditions are provided, ho
will be sure of liis crop. A boy is
certainly no more of aspeculation than
a corn-crop. But many crops of
youngsters are reared with less con
cern given them than is bestowed on
corn.—L. Morrill, M. I).
Marriage involves union and fellow
ship of the whole being. Our bodies
with all their organs and functions,
as well, as our spirits, are created by
God. Purity consists not in ignoring
the body, but in the subordination of
the lower elements of our being, the
bodily appetites and passions, to
the higher powers of reason and con
science; in the use of all the parts
of our nature in obedience to God's
regulations and for His purposes.
Heroin are purity and modesty, in
subordination and harmony. That is
immodest which dwells on the lower
to the ignoring of our higher nature.
The higher should penetrate and so
raise and spiritualize the lower.
Then again, the need of plain
speaking has been brought home to
me ty a two-fold discovery. I have
beer, appalled to find widespread
prevalence of the grossest impurity
and immortality—not mere indecency
—iu connection with some of our pub
lic schools, where perhaps it might
leasf have been expected; and then
to find how in very large measure
this was due to ignorance of the
nature of the wrong and of the con
sequences involved; to the fact that
girls from fourteen to seventeen bad
never received from their mothers a
word of warning about dangers and
temnt.atlons, nor of instruction about
the dignity of their bodies—about the
sacredness of womanhood.
The mothers, I suppose, would
aser'be this silence to modesty. I
call it prudishness, and worse; it is
a foolish and wicked neglect of a sol
emn responsibility. Let mothers, to
whom the duty naturally belongs, tell
their girls what they ought to know
about themselves—physiological facts
—that show the dignity of the body
and the sacredness of its functions,
and not leave them to pick up know
ledge through evil curiosity, or
from bad companions, or from bitter
experience.
Teach purity not impurity. It is
quite possible to know too much evil.
There is no need to be familiarized
with sin—with what is profane or dis
honest, or cruel or unclean. This is
the rule I constantly recommend, not
only to do or allow, to read or listen
to, to soy or let your mind dwell upon
that, which you would be ashamed of
one whom you love and respect know
ing that you were doing or saying, or
reading or thinking about. He stead
fast, hold secure by this true modesty
and let this be your protection. And
teach purity, the reverent rgeard for
ourselves, the right uses of the body,
and so guard against impurity.
Purity of heart, remember, is an
inner temper and disposition, like
purity of spirit. Rut none can have
a pure heart who does notpreserve
(lie body in temperance, soberness,
and chastity. And it is essential to
do so.
