You may have a mortgage say, on your home or your household goods. These "plas ters" are common. They rep resent needed loans and if well advised are helps to ownership. You bend your energies to ward payment of principal and interest. But The mortgage that most dis tresses mortals is the mortgage voluntarily assumed and with out sufficient consideration of bad habits, the mortgage on character. That mortgage is A lien on body and soul! You may or may not be able to pay the mortgage on your properly before you die. Nev ertheless you would have been successful if you havo kept yourself free from the lien on yourself. The mortgage on self, togeth er with the morgage on your property, makes a double mort gagedouble debt and double interest. There's the tobacco mort gage. The habit of chewing or smo king indulged In to excess and almost any use in excess is, as every well informed person knows, a draft on vitality, a shatterer of nerves, a depleter of vital forces. And the liquor mortgage. The drinking habit is u mort gage that demands tremendous interest rates. It ruins the itomach linings, benumbs the brain cells, hardens the nerve fibers, paralyzes tho power of mind and body. Other mortgages ? Plenty of them. The mort gage of excess in eating, of deep loss, of excesses, of lust, of dishonesty, of all unright eousness. Pay them off ! Rise, principal and interest, they will absorb you, soul and body. The sooner you pay the bet ter, because the interest uu these mortgages is not merely compounded, as in a real estate loan, semi-annually. It is compounded daily. By and by it will be impossi ble for you to pay tho accumu lations. Pay the mortgages now. Stop the interest. HAVE A PURPOSE. mm, i I isaiaaiiiai Chni.iw L MMMIm' ll tWll.

An evangelist tells that when he was a boy he often read the Bible to his aged great-grandmothr. She was a godly woman and i!U';h. him to love and trust the Lord. His parents were very poor, and one morning there was n thing fur brcakfa:;. His n.-Vr with a sad heart dressed tV dren and sent them uo'vn t 1 by the seashore till h.'!;i :i i watched-the seabi-ds as tV:y wheel ed av'iund him, and be reinem'-'T ed Christ's words, "Your ' biven ly feedetii then. Are ye not ii.jch better tliun iliey ?" He thotn-bi if God provided for the birds He j could easily Feed him He knelt and prayed that the Lord would send food. After wandering along the shore he began to build sand houses with the other children. On lifting a handful of sand he saw something bright and saw it was u half-crown. With great delight lit hastened home with it to his moth er, and soon they had a good breakfast. This answer to prayer in boyhood has had its effect on him throughout a long and active life. He has been engaged in evangelistic work for many years, and has been used in bringing numbers to Christ and in establish ing believers in their faith. From Our Faithful Ood. Almost a Miracle.
