A short time -ago, writes a friend, a young man who has not attended church or read his Bible for a long time, but who recently began to take a great interest in good literature, came to me full of enthusiasm over soinething that he had read in a maga- zine.' aga-zine.' "Listen to this," he said, opening the periodical. He read for •a few minutes, and there was a new note of reverence i n his voice as he ended with; "Or ever the silver cord be loosed or the golden bowl be broken or thep i•tc her broken br - en a t the foun- tain or the wheel broken at the cis- tern. Then shall the dustreturn rn to the earth as it was, and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it. His face glowed as he exclaimed: "Isn't that wonderful?" "It is,"'I agreed. "Would you like to read more by the„same author?” He nodded, and. I handed him nay • Bible that lay on my desk. He stared at rhe. 'You don't mean `i to say that's from the Bible?" • I.nodded and opened the book at the twelfth chapter of Ecclesiastes and he read; "Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh whenthou gau shalt say, I have no pleasure in them.' "I didn't know that was in the Bible," he said quietly. "Are there any more passages like that?" I turned to the fifty-third `chapter of Isaiah and then passed on to other beautiful passages both of the 'Old Testament and of the New. He listen- ed to them eagerly. A few days ago he said to me: '"I'm going to church now." He had found his God again through reading the Bible. It has been a real joy to watch the spiritual awakening of that young man -who had been rejecting the spiritual food for which he really hungered be- oause at some time in his youth it must have been served to him unat- tractively. Another Attempt to Climb Mount Everest. The attack on Mount Everest is to be resumed, possibly in the spring of 1926. This announcement was made at a meeting of the Royal Geographi- cal, Society In the Royal Albert Hall, .when Brig. -General Brum and ;his companions in the recent expedition gaVe an account of their achievements. Tle • Earl of Ronaldshay, President of the Royal Geographical Society, pre' sided, and, after calling upon the audience to rise in memory of George Leigh, Mallory and Andrew Comyn' Ir- vine, who lost their' lives in the last dash for thesummit, said: "Is the fight finished? Is the possf Nifty of climbing Mount Everest to be tea in doubt? Neither the members e of the expedition nor • of the Mount `yerost Committee are content to let L setter rest where it stands. It is i~ l �• .intention to .:apply immediately through the Government of India, for permission from the Tibetan Govern- tnent to make another itttempt, pos- eibly in 1926."

HOTPOINT DIVISION, - 1 Canadian General E(eegrfc 2'o,.Litnited according to John R. Merlin, Prof. of Physiology at Rochester Univers- , ity. Too much meat, too much coffee and too many cigars often make a man irascible and irritable, while the development of children depends to a large degree on proper food in cor- rect quantities. Some factors which may influence • development of the body, including the nervous system, and therefore the development of the mind, are trace- able to the food. A child which is de- prived of certain vitamins develops' rickets or scurvy and along with the arrest of 'physical development goes a certain retardation of mental de- velopment. Oftentimes teachers bear testimony to the complete change both in appearance and in the normal re- actions of the child when these de- ficiencies are corrected. A child which is habitually disobedient or refractory to discipline may become quite the op- posite as a result of better nutrition. These facts with reference to nutri- tion illustrate one of the means of controlling what has been placed in our hands in developing personality in ourselves and in our children. Many a man is irritable and objec- tionable because he does not know how to eat or what to eat. Too much meat may lead to forms of intestinal intoxi- cation; too much coffee may make one nervous and easily irritated; too many cigars may break down' one's health slowly and insiduously'and may completely transform a man who otherwise is of a sweet and gentle disposition into one who has -as we say -a' disagreeable personality. An exact definition of personality is difficult to give. What most of us have in mind when we use this term probably refers to the impression which one makes on his fellowmen by his appearance, manner of speech, character of his smile, etc. When we examine these traits or .character`= istics we find that they have a founda- tion tion inThere is the her- editary factor which refers to the likeness of offspring to parent.

General debility is• a term' used to describe a weak aiid i'un down condi- tion of the system.' Debility may comp from a number of "causes. The after effects of'acute illness, lack -o$ nourish- ment due to poor 'digestion, poverwork or worry, or anything that makes' the [blood thin, thereby.preveating it from carrying nourishment and health to the tissues of the body. The symp- tems of debility vary, but weakness is always p osent'diten a tendency to be easily fatigued, spots passing before the eyes, weak back, dizziness, wake- fulness caused ,by inability to stop thinking, and unrefreshing sleep. , Mr. Lorena L. Gamache, Rockland, Ont., was a,severe sufferer from this trouble and tells how he found release. He says:—"Two years ago I was in that condition which medical men call general debility.' I made periodical visits to Montreal: for fourteen months to undergo electric treatment. At the end of this time I was feeling well and thought with proper care I would con- tinue in good health. But in the course of a month or so the symptoms came back more acute than ever. I lost ap- petite and could hardly sleep during the night, and what sleep I had was disturbed with nightmares. I had headaches and the least effort was telling on my nerves. I always felt pains somewhere; and had to lose much time. After suffering for three. months, trying various things without good results; I was terribly depressed and disheartened." One day I met .a friend who noted how pale and thin I was and he so strongly recommended Dr. -Williams' Pink Pills that I deter- mined to give them.. a fair trial. I got sii boxes and began the treatment at once. After I had • taken four boxes I began to notice an improvement in my health. I could sleep better, and I scarcely had a headache. 'Since -that tilr,e•niy-healtli'has:been steadily im- proving and now I feel just as well as ever. I have gained •twenty pounds since I began the treatment. Now I would not be without Dr. Williams' Pink Pills in the home, and strongly recommend them to all who suffer from a depressed system and, the aches that follow." r:You can get these pills through any medicine dealer, or by mail at 50 cts. a box or six boxes for $$2.50 from The Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Brockvile, Oat. Three Men One Coat. The disadvantages under " which rural preachers labor on account of a small income is revealed by the fol- lowing actual fact. In :a certain dis- trict in- north-eastern Ontario there are three nen, two of them clergymen and the third a teacher, who all use the same fur goat. In making long trips in the cold season they have to arrange it in such a way that theman going on the longest drive gets the use. of the coat while the others stay at home till he returns,. Their business, and especially. the rural work they are doing, makes the nossesston of a fur coat a necessity more than a luxury, and yet, as one of them remarked they never had enough cash at one time to purchase such an expensive article. -J.

A Spectator (under favorable cir- cumstances it may not be necessary to let him into the, secr'et) blind- folds the trickster and then points to several numbers. As he points, the 'trickster pretends to concen- trate and then, unerringly, names the number. At the conclusion he gives the sum of the numbers. A second assistant, who is .hid- den,'has an important part in the secret. He holds one end of a silk thread. The other terminates in a bit of wax by which it is 'attached to a chalrback, After he is blind- folded, the trickster gets this bit of wax in his hand, While he ap- pears to a•incentrate he mentions several -numbers, apparently at random.
