SOMETHING more than a hun
dred years ago a sermon was
preached in St. John’s Church,
which dealt very severely with the
frailities of poor human nature,
and put forth, with unctuous as
surance, the promise of eternal
punishment for a large proportion
of the race. Among the worshipers
was a gentleman of unfortunate
reputation but keen mind, whose
name lingers unforgettably in our
history. As he left the church a
lady spoke to him:
“What did you think of the ser
mon, Mr. Burr?” she asked.
“I think,” responded Aaron Burr
“that God is better than most
people suppose.”
That was the messaage of Jesus
—that God is supremely better
than anybody had ever dared to be
lieve. Not a petulant Creator, who
had lost control of his creation
and, in worth, ws determined to
destroy it all. Not a stern Judge
dspensing impersonal justice. Not
a vain King who must be flattered
and bribed into concessions of
mercy. Not a rigid Accountant,
checking up the sins against the
penances and striking a cold hard
balance. Not any of these . . . .
nothing like these . . . but a great
Companion, a wonderful Friend, a
kindly indulgent, joy-loving Fa
ther ....
For three years Jesus walked up
and down the shores of his lake
and through the streets of towns
and cities, trying to make them un
derstand. Then came the end, and
almost before his fine firm flesh
as cold, the distortion began. He
who cared nothing for ceremonies
and forms was made the idol of
formalism. Men hid themselves in
monasteries; they lashed themsel
ves with whips; they tortured
their skins with harsh garments
and cried out that htey were fol
lowers of him—of him who loved
the crowd, who gathered children
about him whereever he went,
who celebrated the calling of a
new disciple with a feast in which
all the neighborhood joined!
Oldest Oil Man
John T. Sencabaugh, Cleveland, is
six months older than John D. Rockc
feller, Sr., his personal friend and
employer for more than 60 years. Ii
celebrating his 94th birthday onlj
three candles were used, one for th<
past, one for ^he present and one foi
the f-'iire.
His last supper with his diciples
was an hour of solemn memories.
Their minds were heavy with
foreboding. He talked earnestly,
but the whole purpose of his talk
was to life up their hearts, to make
them think nobly of themselves,
to fill their spirits with a conquer
ing faith.
“My joy I leave with you,” he
exclaimed.
“Be of good cheer,” he exclaim
ed.
Joy . . . cheer . . . these are
the words by which he wished to
be remembered. But down through
the ages has come the wicked
falsehood that Jesus never laugh
ed.

Do you want the secret of ?uch
vitality? It isn’t what you eat, or
' any tonic you take. It’s something
anyone can do—something you can
start today and see results in a 1
week I All yon do is give your vital
organs the right stimulant.
A famous doctor discovered the
way to stimulate a sluggish system
to new energy. It brings fresh vigor
to every organ. Being a physician’s
prescription, it’s quite harmless.
Tell your druggist you want a bottle
of Dr. Caldwell’s syrup pepsin. Get
the benefit of its fresh laxative
herbs, active senna, and that pure
pepsin. Get that lazy liver to work,
those stagnant bowels into action.
Get rid of waste matter that is slow
poison so long as it is permitted ta
remain in the system.
The new energy men and women
feel before one bottle of Dr. Caldwell’s
syrup pepsin has been used up is
proof of how much the system needs
) this help.
Get a bottle of this delicious
syrup and let it end that constant
worry about the condition of the
bowels. Spare the children those
bilious days that make them miser
able. Save your household from the
use of cathartics which lead to
chronic constipation. And guard
against auto-intoxication as you
grow older. )
Dr. Caldwell’s syrup pepsin is
such a well known preparation you
Van get it wherever drugs are sola
and it isn’t expensive.
