TABLE TALKS OF JESUS.
By Leu. G. Broughton.
(Fleming H. Revell & Co., New York.)
This attractive volume, just issued from the press, contains eleven ser
mons by Dr. Len. G. Broughton, being, as the title indicates, discourses upon
the teaching of the Savior, delivered while at table. In the preface the author
says: “In studying the Table Talks of Jesus, I have been amazed that they
compass such a range of subjects. Many of the most profound things Jesus
ever said -were said while He w T as ‘at meat.’ I have gathered up these say
ings and endeavored to expound them in a simple, but, as I trust, helpful
way. My own soul has been greatly blessed in meditating on them, and I
feel that I have learned new lessons concerning the opportunity of the
‘table.’ ”
When one reflects upon the peculiarly helpful and personal nature of the
Savior’s conversations with his disciples and others while they were eating,
or gathered together upon like occasions, it is readily apparent that a series
of sermons which link together these teachings are built upon the most vital
issues affecting the life and conduct of all who seek to obey His commands,
or who are seeking entrance into right living. These sermons are all simple,
honest, plain and consecrated efforts to hold up to view the love and purpose
of our Savior in the discourses which compose the texts. The reader is bound
to feel in his heart the truths that are therein expounded, and the appeal to
the common sense and reason is so fair, so earnest and so strong, it is impos
sible to read without being benefited and rejoiced.
Tastes differ, as all are aware, and human needs are diverse and urgent—
but to the writer the fifth sermon, “Strength Blessing Weakness,” upon the
passage describing the visit of Jesus to the house of the Pharisee, is fullest
of the pure essence of the Word, and is richest in the kind of Gospel that
can be carried into daily affairs and cherished for comfort in one’s heart
of hearts. The reasons for Jesus’ expressions upon this occasion, and His pur
pose in going into the house of the Pharisee are made clear, and are illumined
by the wonderful and loving wisdom of the Nazarene. It concludes with this
simple, but strong passage: “Let us be more considerate of other people.
The world is watching us more at this point than at any other. Let us try
to put ourselves in the other fellow’s place. It will make us much happier
and our lives count for much more.”
The book will be valued and will be a source of inspiration to all who
read it.
A SCHOOL FOR THE FEEBLE MINDED.
An article in the April issue of The Georgian, the University of Georgia.
Magazine, entitled, “A Square Deal,” by Clyde F. Colbert, is worthy of care
ful reading and consideration by every citizen of Georgia. It is a plea for a
state school for the feeble minded. In the premises of his argument, Mr.
Colbert says:
“I am glad that I do not live in the ‘good old times’ that we hear so
much about. When a man is old, with tottering steps and mumbling words,
instead of burning him at the stake for a wizard, now we take him to a hos
pital for the insane where he can be treated, nursed and tenderly cared for;
the time "was when deformed children were exposed and left to perish, but now
they are gathered into hospitals; instead of considering it a disgrace to be
akin to the deaf and blind and leaving them to die, now the dumb are taught
to speak and the blind to read; and at last, but not in Georgia, the poor, so
called idiot is welcomed into the human family. Be it to her shame, Georgia
takes not any care of these! In the other commonwealths there are fourteen
private and twenty state schools for the feeble minded; but Georgia, that
‘Grand old empire state of the South,’ simply lets her feeble minded children
wander about as vagrants or unwitting tools of criminals. No citizen who
neglects the interest of this class of our people should ever afterward refer
proudly to ‘our grand old state!’ Ah! if you but knew it, this is one of the
instances where Georgia is at the disgraceful end of the procession. When I
read of the great work done for these people by the other states, or see some
legislative acts giving them millions for their education, it seems to me that
I can see those states derisively point at Georgia,—that ‘God-fearing, hu
manity-loving, proud old Empire state of the South.’ The society of Georgia
suffers the penalty of this neglect in an increase of pauperism and vice, and
finally, at greatly increased cost, is compelled to take charge of adult imbe
ciles in almshouses and hospitals; and of imbecile criminals in jails and
prisons.”
The main points made by the writer are that the mentally defective
children of the state are as much entitled to official attention and education
as are the blind and dumb, and that they can be made into useful citizens by
proper training; and that society should protect itself from the criminal
tendencies which are natural if these cases are left to work out their own
destinies.
He takes the position that “Our commonwealth should found and main
tain a state school for the feeble minded. This school should contain dual
departments; the educational for the high-grade students, and the custodial
for the care of the hopeless grade of idiots and for the retention of those
prisons.”

Dear Sir: —Several physicians treated
me without success for a stubborn case of
eczema. I have tried every remedy that
was suggested to me, but nothing did me
the slightest good until in sheer despera

a permanent cure. I take pleasure in tes
tifying to its merits. Isaac G. Hass.

SKEPTICISM
It is better to believe everything a man
says than to believe nothing. The crucial
test comes and the true things accepted
on faith will greatly aid you in life’s bat
tles in time. Believe everything rather than
reject everything.
Johnson’s Chill and Fever Tonic is the
greatest Fever medicine and Life saver in
the whole world. If you believe this and
accept it as a truth, you will be the im
mense gainer thereby, and if you doubt it
and wholly reject it, you may be the loser
to the extent of your very life.
We will send 2 bottles to any reader of
this paper on these terms: If the two bot
tles cure two cases of Fever, send us slpo.
If they do not do all we claim, send us
nothing. We take the risk. The Johnson
