No one wishes o be ill. Just.. tis

r from
;er#p'Ecct you and -your family y fom dis-
wase, so you should play the game and
4o your part in protecting them.
If there are disease germe in your
body, keep them to yourself. In any
Tase, you cannot get rid of them by
:passing them to someone else, All
yon do in that case is to spread the
disease to which the germs give rise.
Everyone should know that most
-ef the , communicable diseases are
spread lay the transference of germ -
laden saliva from thesick to the well,

just soon as this..knowledge .is..put
:
into practice,, and. care:, taken ;, at alI-
times, there'.; is found a definite de --
-crease in the number of cases of'com-
genunicable diseases.
No one would think for a moment
of purposely endangering the life of
child, but that is done 'every day
.may those individuals, who, either tltru
ignorance or carelessness, spread
'"their saliva around, We never know
. -when disease germs may be in our
saliva, for such germs -are often pre-
sent even when we are apparently
well. Itis only by taking cane at all
slimes that we will be sure of being
.careful when there is need for us to
be so.
The person who spits is a real men-
-ace. Spitting is simply a bad habit,

fur which there is no excuse, Never
spit unless you need to, and then use
your handkerchief. In the material
which you expectorate, there .ttiay be
trillions of disease germs. This state-
ment is not an exaggeration for the
persons suffering from tuberculosis
does pass out in his sputum millions
of the germs of tuberculosis in a day.
That is why the case of tuberculo-
sis is always taught how to take care
of and destroy his sputum. There are
many' people who, unknown to them-
selves, have tuberculosis, and who are
passing out the germs each time -they
spit. It is they who are chiefly res-
ponsible for spreadingr., tuberculosis,.
because they have no idea that they
have the . disease and.. so do not take
any •.care.
Tuberculosis :is, 'as everyone knows;
a very, serious and: `frequently fatal'
disease.. It- is: spread chiefly by care-
less spitters; by those- who do not
play the game. Let it be understood
that if spitting were, to stop and if
every person'. were to take are that
his saliva was not being passed on to
other people, we would be well on
the way to seeing themselves disap-
pear.
'To spit is to endanger the lives of
others. The careless spitter is a pub-
lic menace; he spreads disease. and
exposes those around him to sickness
and death,

.THE SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON
LESSON VL—FEBRUARY 8
Jesus, the World's: Teacher.-
Luke 6
Golden Text:—As ye would that
„Olken should do to you, do ye also to
*heist likewise.—Luke 6:31.
'THE LESSON. IN ITS SETTING.
Tirne,—The Sermon on the Mount.
wee delivered in' midsummer of A.D.
28, the second year of Christ's min-
i)** The Sermon on the Plain seems
If be' a condensation of the Sermon
:.ion the Mount.
Place.: The Homs of Hattin, or
Mount' of Beautitudes,: about seven
rimiies'•soutii of Capernaum.
THE GOLDEN RULE..
But I say unto you that hear. "But"
Sets off what Christ is going to say.
..ever. against what He has just said,
siauiely, that the right kind of Chris -
'Van life is very likely to have its ,en-
emies, so that a Christian should be
-ashamed when all men, wicked as well
:as righteous, speak well of him. Loe
your enemies. Foes are to be expect
d, .but love them.. Do good to them
that hate you. Your love must be not
fly a feeling; but a deed; it must
-rove itself by active beneficence.
Bless thein that curse you. When
eee-
others pour curses upon us, we must
say all .tlie good things about them
we can find to say. Pray for them
that despitefully use you. Our enem-
ies may not let us do good to them;1
they may keep at a distance froth us
,and not let us get near them. Not
even then does Jesus give us license
to 'hate them or even . to cease • our
active love: we must follow thein
with our prayers.
To him that smiteth thee on the
one cheek offer also the other. The
Greek shows that "the blow intended
is not a mere slap, but a heavy•blow;
an act of violence : rather than con-
tempt." And from him that taketh
away thy cloak withhold not thy coat
also. The Christian is to strip him-
self bare for his enemy; he is to
shame him by giving him all that he
has.
Give to every one that asketh thee;
and of him that taketh 'away thy
goods ask them not again. Who
would work, if his gains were to be
at the mercy of every idle beggar, or
impudent robber? But the spirit of
+
Christ's words calls us to universal
benevolence, to sacrificial giving. It
must be wise giving, but entire giv-
ing, God does not give us whatever
we ask for; He often gives us more
by postponing or withholding than
He would by .compliance; but He al-
ways gives Himself, which is the su-
preme gift. His giving is our exam-
ple,
WINGHAM ADVANCE -TIMES
And as ye would that then ehoula
do to you, do ye also to thein like-
wise. We are to do to others not
what they foolishly and to their hurt
want us to do, and not whatewe tnis-
takenly or wickedly want men to do
to us, but what wisdom and love de -
araeAn,
d if ye love theta that love you,
what thank have ye? Weymouth's
translation is, "What credit is it to
you?" For even sinners love those
that love them. We are known by
our fruits, Christ said; and in the
fruits " of our Christianity do not dif-
fer from the fruits of worldliness and
sin, how can we expect wordlings and
sinners' to honor our Christianity or
even to respect it?
And if ye do good to them that
do good to you, what thank have ye?
for even sinners do the same, We
make calls on those who have called
on us or who will doubtless return
our call, Our greetings on the street
are in response to the gneetings of.
friends. That is all well, of course,
but the . Christian standard must be'
much higher.
And if ye lend to them of whom
ye hope to, ree ivte,...what thank have
ye? even sinners lend to sinners, to
receive again as much. Much that we
would . not : give . wecould_ helpfully
mend, and lending, such. things as pic-
tures, ,
ictures,. flowering plants,. and.. books—
lending thetas with no. expectation; or
a return I`oan=isrpart of the. gracious.,
business which. Christians will be car-
rying on.
But love you enemies, and do them
good. Christ repeats, for the sake of.
emphasis, as all good teachers will,
And lend, never despairingly, Do
good as those who consider nothing
as lost. And your reward shall be,
great, and ye shall be sons of the
Most Nigh. That is the reward, and,
only a Christian can understand how
great it is, making us brothers of the
Lord Jesus Christ. For He is kind
toward the unthankful" and evil. In
Matt. 5:45 is the exquisite addition,
which seems especially poetical in W.
W. Smith's Scottish 'version: He gars
his sun to glint alike on the ill and
on the, gude; and sends oot his rain
baith on the -just and the unjust,"
Be ye. merciful, even as your Fa-
ther is merciful. The Christian's love
will be very deep as well as very wide
deep enough to bury, all the sins and
faults and offences of his neighbor.
And judge not; and ye shall not be
judged; and condemn not, and ye
shall not be condemned. We are not
forbidden to form opinions of others,
for this is necessary in order to deal
wisely with. thetas. What is forbidden
is cenorious- judgment, picking flaws,
seeking out the bad in men in prefer-
ence to
refer-lence.to the good, what has been call-
ed from Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress
"muck -racking." Release, and ye shall
be released. To release is to forgive
a debt, free a prisoner, pardon an of-
fender. As we are ready to do such
things, then will be quick' to do them
to us.
Give, and it shall be given unto
you good measure, "'pressed down,
shaken together, running over, shall.
they give into' your bosom. Bosom
is a haglike fold into which the loose
outer robe then worn (mantle or
shawl) fell, as it was thrown around
in front over one shoulder. In this.
they often carried a moderate quan-
tity of goods. For with what meas-
ure ye mete it shall be measured to
you again. "A fanner once •told his
pastor that out of his few acres of
ground, he always set aside, one acre
to the Lord's use. The pastor asked,
Which acre do you set aside?" The
question carne unexpectedly, but the
farrier was honest enough to • tell the
truth, and replied, "When it is a dry
season, I select one up there," point-.
ing to a field on the hillside; 'and
when it is a wet season, I choose one
down there;" pointing to a field of
very low land which lay at the foot
of the hill, This is a trate picture of
thousands of professed Christians
who give to God's service that part of
their time and means that is left, af-
ter satisfying their own personal
selfish ends," Measuring thus to God,
what tneasure of blessing can we ex-
pect from Him?
BLIND GUIDES.
And He spake also a parable unto
them. A condensed parable, a com-
parison, a teaching from a happening
in real life. Can the blind guide the
blind? shall they not both fall into
a pit? Palestine was full of blind men
and sometirnes a string of them aright

but what a picture of inept misery
if a blind man should undertake such

of the Saviour, scarcely any sin was
more despicable than that of hypo-
crisy. What a sting was in his con-
demnation, "Scribes, Pharisees, hypo-

shalt thou see clearly to cast out the
