A WORD TO THE CORPULENT.
Instead of rogardiug obesity as an
abnormal coudition many people have
erroneously considered it. as a sign of
health, and any emelt that reduces fat
is therefore et onco suspected of being
iujerious. Starting to reason from tbo
false position that fat is an ovldeuce of
health, it is not surprising ilaat they
should. very naturally, fall iuto the er-
ror of sepp,,siug that an agent possess-
ing properties capable of reducing cor-
pulency would prove injurious to the
health. ttettsouing, ho,v'ever, from a
rational basis. that an undue doposi-
tiou of fat, constituting obesity, is not
a healthy but a morbid condition, it is
quite as natural for us to arrive at the
opposite conclusion, which is snetained
by experience thud observation, i. e.,that
the reduction of fat in oases of corpu-
lency is invariably followed by an im-
provement of strength, tit irits, and
physical comforts. • Allan's Auti•Fat

pounds a week. Sold by druggists.
The Mennonite ministers are chosen
by lot, and then formally ordained by
laying on of hand mud prayer. They
eunsoient.iously abstain from special
preparation fur any given service, be
lieving that as God has called them iu•
to the miuistry of His wetd, it will be
given thein !shat to speak in His name
when the time conies. This is jnati•
fid by reference to these words : “Take
no thought, therefore, what ye shall
say," etc. Their method of choosing
miuisters may be understood frnnh wheal

WVILLIAM'S LITTLE GAME.
The idlers at the ferry clock were
considerably agitated by a little incident
in which a •"Willian" and his girl were
the lratu actors. The pair were ex.-
carsioniats, and the girl had her "dan-
der" up about something.
•'I dont know what ails her," ex-
claimed. William to a polieemtan as the
girt sat on a salt barrel and munched
an apple in a hard-ho'arted sort of way.
"`I had my arm around her all this
morning, and we've walked all over
town with clasped hands, but all of to
sudden sbe tlew from the track and has
had her Bose up ever siuoe.
Are you engagd ?" asked the offii-.
icer.
Well, I kinder infer that we are, or
was .afore she got this diad fit.
"And what still you do 2"
""I dono, t was thiuking a spell ago
that I !night draw out her feelings, if
she has any, by jumpiu' into the river,
though I kinder hate to wet up this
Sunday suit."
Tho yolieeman held a whispered con-
sultation with William, and .the result
was that the young maw went back to

*'Humph 1" replied Emily, as Bile re-
ceived his wealth and bit iuto the solid

"Good-bve, false one— don't look.

started for the dock and leaped down
into the !harbor -master's boat out of
sight.
"Man overboard—sate him -where's

with a voice like a thunder storm.

names. `rhe meeting was opened with
prayer, and the secoud chapter of Acts
was read and commented upon. Theo
fl•Ilowed a season of silence, during
which time each persou was oouuselled
i to head the prolliptiugs of the spirit
and to announce whatever mune auy
oue alight feel .constrained to regard as
a fit person to minister in holy thiugs.
;.Sixteen brethren were nominated, as
�
was believed by the suggestion of the
spirit. A week was allowed the nomi-
nees to reflect upon the question of
duty, during•which time their minds
were to be settled as. to whether they
would allow their names to bo put into
the lot on the followiug Sabbath. .It
83 happened that all consentedto go
into the lot when the congregation met
again. At the request of the President
sixteen copies of the New Testament,
uniform in size and binding, were plac-
ed in the hands of two ministers, who
retired with them into the vestry. A
slip of paper was put into two of the
volumes. The books were Laid on a
table promiscuously and left there
while these two ministers returned• to
their places in the church. The Presi-
dent directed two other Ministers to
go and bring the books in. These
went at once to the vestry, and hav-
ing ehufed, so to speak, the copies of
the New Testament, they worried theme
1 into the church aud:sel them up in a
row upon the long table in front of the
stand. The sixteen books being duly
arranged and the candidates pissed
near totem' prayer was offered that the
Head of the Church would show whicb
twoof these sixteen brethren, who had
beets duly separated by the guidance of
the Spirit, should be called talo the
Ministry of His word and power.
Prayer ended, each of the candidates
arose iu order and touk down a book,
the next thing was to seg wt6o had the.
lot.. While the books are being exam-
ined. the interest end suspense are al-
most painful to witness. The brethren
who find the lot in their books are
sometitnes very molt overcome by the
overpowering sense of the solemn duties
laid upon therm Others again seem
greatly pleased with the call'tu preach.
The chosen. onus are ordained on the
spot, and from that moment they are
regarded us' the authorized messengers
of 011riet to wituese for him in the
preoeuce of the peoolo.
