In the second place, the result could only be achieved when those resources were brought forward with willing consecration. From the beginning it has been God's way to require some basis for His divine 'bounty, Give Him the dust—whatever that may be—and He will breath into it the breath of lais own life until it becomes a living soul. Give lam the water -pots filled to the brim, and He will furnish the wed- ding. We may give Hine even a slender trust which goes feeling its uncertain way, and He will cause the blind eaee to see. Give Him some measure of con- secrated service and He will safeguard it by His own gracious power, aud when the result is declared it will be glare - °ea. "How much faith bare you?' 1 ask some uncertain, doubting soul here this Morning. "Not much, you reply; "not even five full-fledged slices of faith. Three thin slices of belief are all 1 have. I believe in God. I believe in duty, believe in the hereafter. 1 am not sure that I cen houestly say I believe much more." That is meagre. The five loav- es and two fishes in their realm were more generous. Nevertheless you need net hesitate for an hour, you need net send out to increase your store. Bring them hither, those dim, uncertaiti con- fidences of yours, those broken frag- ments of faith, those mysterious yearn- ings after something fuller, holier, finer than you now enjoy, those undiscover- ed capaeities you have long dreamed of. And when He brings in the result you will discover an hicrease • of faith, a larger and firmer hope, a finer measure of love towards Goa and towards man, and you will begin to render more ef- fective service, and you evill know that anything brought forward in willing con- secration becomes a basis on which there may rest the divine bounty truly magnificent. How splendid it is that we are never required to offer what we enema offer, not to bo what we find ourselves unable to be.

Comparative- ly few wide lead to 'consumption, but sinoe each cold weakens the System and lessens the realist:face'every cold should be closely watched. "There is no infallible rule by which cold* can be prevented," writes Dr. Ennion G. Williams, to -state health commisioner, "and there is no law by which every- one an protect himself from the germ 'which causes Influenza. Common sense is the beetprotection and it little fore- thought Is the best - ally ef cummere sense." Draughts, overheated rooms, unsuit- able clothing and senseless exposure are the cldef causes of colds. Care for these things greatly lessens the danger . of catching cold. The open window, which does not create a draught be the secret of proper ventilation. Never stay in a close room, but never yenta lateeo you create a draught where you are sitting.

Regulate your cloth- ing heeording to ,the weathet, in cold spells increase it; in warm weather, re- duce it. A little foresight is better than a spell of sickness. Some of the methods of adapting the clothing to the weather are of inter- est. The clinic knows a gentleman who has five weights of oVereOat: con- tinually on his hooks during the win- ter. Before going into the open air he consults the thernoreeter, and dons the overcoat that his scale determines to be the right orie for that particular .degree of Fahrenheit. This is perhaps not quite so certain as the Chihese method, in which it is said the ternper- ature may be expressed in jackets, one of which is put on after the other. Fif- teen jackets cold would mean serious lowness • of the thermometer,' evitieh rises in the mercury during an outing, which may well be possible if one is away from his base of supplies for the day, would mean it smeller figure.
