Bach cane siderations make this occasion absorbing and momentous, The first half of my text is an indictment, “All we like sheep have gone astray.” Some one says: “Can not drop the first word? That is too general; that sweeps too great a circle.” * Some man rises in the avdience and looks over on the opposite side of the house, and he says: “There isa blasphemer, and 1 understand how he has gone astray And there in an other part of the house is a defrauler, he has gone astray And there isan impure person, and he has g astray.” Sit down, my brother, and look at home My text takes us all is It starts behind the pulpit, sweeps the circuit of the room comes back the point from started, when it says: “All we like sheep have gone astray.” I can very easily under- he One to stand why Martin Luther threw up his hands | {| way | to bind up the and and why to after he had found the Bible “Oh! my sing, my sins can, acording to the custom the East, when they have began to beat himself and upon his breast, “God be sinner.’ I was, like many of you, brought ap in the country, and [ know some of the habits sheep and how they get astray, and what my text means when it says, “All we like sheep have gone astray.’ ways, either by trying to ture, or from being scared by the the former way some of us got astray. thought the religion of Jesus Christ commons, We thought there was bette turag ewher We could only lie down on the streams or under great oaks or of some hill we might be better fod.

The tonic effect of bathing is caused by "the contraction of the surface blood vessels, which drives the blood back to the larger blood vessels and the heart. These react and send the blood rushing back to the skin, eausing the glow which follows the bath or ought to follow it, the free respiration and the vigorous feel. ing of the muscular system. The bath should always be followed by friction with the hand, a brudh or a towel, The frequency with which it should be taken depends entirely on circumstances. It should be often enough to keep the pores open and the skin clean; for the skin does one-third of the breathing, and if it is clogged the lungs must do the work and they will be overburdened. As a | rule the more rapidly a bath is taken the | better will be its effect, —Drooklya Citi- | sea.
