The sermon was introduced by a ref- | erence to the fact that the Bible recog. nizes the fundamental character and | that in the simple operations of the | tiller of the soil are found the best il | lustrations of the Spiritual life. In its | multiplied illustrations drawn from | rural life 1s to be found one reason why | the scriptures are so dear to the hearts | of the people and so easily understood. Man draws his sustenance from the | earth. The froitfulness of the soil de- | pends upon certain operations of na- ture, which are beyond the control of man, but which God has promised | shall not fail. Man's great problem is | to discover and use the forces of na- ture and distribute the results. There is no sound basis for the theory of over- population; that the race increases be- yond the power of the earth to furnish a comfortable support. The difficulty that portions of mankind have in fill- ing their stomachs and clothing their hacks, yea, even the famines of the earth, are due to imperfect tillage or, imperfect means of food distribution. While men in one portion of the earth starve for lack of corn, in other parts of the world corn is burned for want of a market and thousands of acres lie uncultivated and multitudes are idle who might on the uncultivat- ed soil be producing food for their starving brethren. This shows that man, not nature, isat fault. When man learns how to maake the best use of the productive powersof the earth and to distribute properly and unself- ishily the results, none will starve even though the population increase many fold. Man's selfishness is a great obstacle to progress in this direction.

I had spent mueh time and money and suffered so much misery that I had almost decided to give up all hopes of recovery and await the re. sult, but noticing the advertisement of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy and also some tes timonials stating how some wonderful cures had been wrought by this reme- dy, I decided to try it.
